Wash And Go, To Grow And To Dazzle 2020 Challenge

Yeah, he comes across very snooty and A-hole like sometimes. Condemning products for, seemingly, no other reason than that they are inexpensive. I don’t like they way he responds to commenters either.

I will say that when I wash Wetline out it doesn’t just desintergrate upon contact with water. It takes some rinsing. It’s a thicker, heavier gel. But I’ve been using cleansing creams only for a few months now and have no build up issues... so far. I don’t think a product taking longer to remove means it’s caused buildup, if you CAN still remove it without shampoo.

He's nice in person lolol

He could use more tact on social media. He's always working on someone when I'm in there and I can't lie, that dude knows how to work some natural curls. He was doing my ex-cousin's hair during my first appointment and I was amazed when he finished.

I think I need a bonnet to wear at night. The silk pillowcase isn’t enough. DH is not going to be a fan.

What do you ladies do with your hair at night.

It’s day 3 and I’m wearing my hair out at work and trying not to be self conscious. It’s getting a little frizzy, but it still has movement and not too much shrinkage. I think I’ll wash it again tomorrow morning and wear it in a ponytail tomorrow.

It looks so good!! You have no reason to be self conscious. It doesn’t even look like it needs to be redone yet. I’d wear that until the wheels fall off. Lol.

Thanks! The frizz and dry looking parts don’t really show up in the picture. I think the side of my hair that’s on my silk pillowcase does ok, but the other side rubs on my sheets and gets frizzy. I need to get a bonnet.
 
I tried something new overnight. Instead of a pineapple I did a low ponytail and covered my hair with a scarf. I think it did a good job of keeping my hair from drying out, but the low ponytail put a weird crease in my hair. I’m going to Sally’s today to get a bonnet and then I’ll try sleeping with my hair loose in the bonnet.

I re-washed my hair this morning, but I skipped the baking soda poo and the post conditioner ACV rinse. I just cowashed. I went to work with 2 low ponytails. I’ll see how this works out. I’m getting pretty quick so it didn’t add too much time to my morning routine. Maybe 15-20 minutes.

I think I’m finally seeing a path to this being my go to hairstyle. :drunk:

To get rid of the crease i usually take the scrunchie off and shake it out right after my shower. Literally I get out and take off the scrunchie. The hair is still moist from the shower and the steam so it bounces back to life.
 
also @GettingKinky if u have a prob with dryness and dont wanna mess up ur hair u can try a refresher spray. Curls makes a good one but there are a few companies that make it. Either that or a spray leave in. It would also get rid of the bends and dents the scrunchie makes.

I have the Curls moisturizer spray. I need to give it another try. Last time I used it my hair felt sticky. I’m not sure I’m a fan of glycerin. Im thinking of getting an oil sheen spray. I think my hair may look dry but not actually be dry.
 
My cowashing results weren’t quite as good as my results from cleansing with baking soda. The cleansing step doesn’t add much time so I think I just always do it. My hair is pretty big today, but I’m still wearing it out. I just have to ignore the double takes I’m getting from my coworkers. They’ll get used to it eventually.

The satin bonnet I slept in kept my hair from getting frizzy, but I was hot. I’m going to look for a silk one.

you can mix the baking soda with the co wash con in ur hand and do both.... it'll be like a clarifying co wash.
 
I tried to refresh my hair last night. I misted it with water and then added my shealoe mixture.

That was not the move. It shrunk up very unevenly and today it’s in a ponytail. Before I put it in the ponytail is used my CURLS moisturizer and styling cream. It looks kind of shiny. Maybe there is a place for these products. I’m going to wash again tomorrow.

There is so much to learn about this style.
 
I took my ponytail down and my hair is so moisturized and it looks good again. Maybe the CURLS products will work for me. I sprayed the moisturizer in my hands and then put it on my hair. Thanks for that suggestion @faithVA

Maybe glycerin does work with my hair. I can even touch my hair and it doesn’t frizz. Maybe I won’t wash tomorrow. I may put it off until Sunday.

I’m so obsessed with my hair now that I think I’m close to having this style down. Forgive me for all the rambling posts.

Now that I’ve determined that I have time to wash my hair in the morning before work without being too late, and that I’m willing to wear my hair to work in 2 low ponytail, I’m going to try and wash my hair every 3-4 days My plan is to wear it out every day except wash days.

And I don’t think I need a DevaCut at the moment, but I do need a good trim.
 
My hair dried out out so quickly after this wash. My day 2 hair is really dry. I’m not sure if it’s because I used a protein conditioner instead of Kenra mousturizing conditoner or if I need to use a real shampoo to remove the shea butter from my hair.

I think tomorrow I’ll use my baking soda wash and Kenra and see what happens.

I decided to clarify my hair w/ Trader Joe's Tea Tree Tingle shampoo, then use Giovanni Nutrafix as a protein treatment, followed by SheaMoisture's Manuka Honey & Mafura Oil d/c.

I used my turbie twist to dampen my hair. I sprayed Palmer's Natural Fusions Mallow Root leave-in spray on each section, followed by Wetline Xtreme (clear) gel. I'm currently air-drying for a wash n go
