@DVAntDany I was so upset about the haircut that I just paid and left. I’ve never followed up, but I do intend to send some communication with photos so he can see how horrible the cut was.

Wow I’m realizing one year ago was when I started doing wash and go’s and visiting this thread and the digital salon. I got my first curly cut (that I loved) on September 12ish and got the horrible cut that I hated on December 12ish.
I’ll be visiting Abena again for a trim in December. Time flies!

I must say that Aishia put thought into her fast drying wash and go. I decided to try using the Quidad climate control strong hold all by itself on wet hair this morning. That was a no no for me.
It took much longer than 30 mins to dry and the definition I saw while wet quickly left. I’m starting to realize that this product takes the shine away from my hair. Mousse by itself is far shinier, but it also gives me helmet hair that deceptively looks bouncy. So both products together are better than separate.

Update on its a 10 wash and go:
so far my hair looks almost identical to my UFD and Jell-O shot wash and go.
That’s my favorite combo, so that’s great! BUT Jell-O shot is $24 for 16 ounces of gel and the it’s a 10 gel is 5 ounces and the leave in is like 6 ounces and both products are more than $20…
I think next wash I’ll try the it’s a 10 leave in, UFD and Jell-O shot to see how it turns out.

I used it a total of about 5 times and I was never completely happy with the results.
It was just sitting in my shower staring at me and that made me feel pressure to use it. I had to toss it for my peace of mind.
I totally get that. My hoarding ways, however, stop me from tossing crappy products that easily. I’ve gone through some rough wash and gos lately trying to use up some of the products.I used it a total of about 5 times and I was never completely happy with the results.

I used to feel that way, but then I decided I was done with bad hair days just because I had purchased products I didn’t like.
I still have an almost completely full jar of Innersense Inner Peace. I never liked it either except the time a stylist used it on me. Maybe I’ll try it again. It’s hidden away in a drawer so it doesn’t stress me out to see it.
I haven’t tried the inner peace with UFD/ICH only with KCKT/ICH. And I I haven’t tried it in 9 months. I think I will try it this weekend. Maybe it will give the same kind of surface finish as mousse def.

I actually went ahead and ordered the 200ml since they were having the sale and sent me a coupon code. I ordered Tuesday around 4am from the Trepadora UK site and I don’t know what magic they did but it arrived today, Thursday. Honestly, THAT kind of speed justifies the shipping cost to me. Hopefully it’s not a one time thing.

I like how yours came out. I tried this combo on my hair this week and no bueno
I was rushing to get to work and my hair wasn't completely dry before I had to leave, so I'll try it a second time when I have more time on my hands.

So last week for my wng, I separated my hair into that two inch band of difficulty in the front and then 6 sections in the back. I clarified that front band w/KC Come Clean and washed the rest with a Tresemme 2n1 that I like. Then washed the front section a second time with Nexxus Humectress shampoo. Conditioned everything with the matching Nexxus conditioner & detangled.
Applied UFD to dripping wet hair & covered with shower cap to get out of the water. Worked with the front section first again. Really made sure to smooth the UFD in and when I applied the EarthTone Naturals, I paid attention to exactly smooth it down. Smooth, smooth, smooth.
and the front of my head still poofed out
BUT there are just a few of the little balls and it’s not something anyone else would notice. It’s the fewest I’ve ever seen. I was planning to do a cowash tomorrow but I haven’t figured out what gel combo I want to try. I need to think about it since my Papaya Slip is here.
Is anyone here using the Papaya Slip with anything? They recommended it with the Açaí gel.

Don’t let me influence you to potentially have crappy hair days.
That’s like a pomade, right?
I’ve tried with the reg climate control gel + mousse, the strong hold one + mousse and then I tried on damp hair with mousse. The damp hair dried the fastest, had more hold and more shine. The gel by itself = No, No, NoI like how yours came out. I tried this combo on my hair this week and no bueno
It takes me too long to put the gel on soaking wet moussed up hair. I can’t feel where I’m placing the gel with my hands. So it makes it take longer putting it in smaller sections to make sure it coats the hair. That is what eats up the time for me.
The last time I did it, I did it at night. Then in the morning I blasted it with the blow dryer for lift and stretch. Maybe try doing it at night. You’ll thank yourself in the morning if you are rushed for time.
I also feel like this gel causes buildup. A moisturizing Poo nor an all purpose one can remove it. My ends started becoming tangly the more I used it. So I started using the Doux one love as a prepoo detangler. Then I finally did a clarifying shampoo and all of the tangles went away.
Wow! That is awesome. I’m so tempted to purchase the Bamboo ginseng from the home site just because others have said it gives shine.
I read on the see some curls forum someone said it came back fast too and also someone was able to get it from bold Kulture recently.
I’ve only used it over UFD and ICH. It doesn’t leave a crunchy hold. It smells good and gives shine.So last week for my wng, I separated my hair into that two inch band of difficulty in the front and then 6 sections in the back.

It is like a pomade. It has beeswax high up on the ingredient list. I know it can work well, I just have to figure out how to use it.

A spray on product like this looks easy to apply, but I’m guessing it doesn’t have much hold and will only last a day or 2

@GettingKinky thats so cool!
I wonder if it has to be applied on soaking wet hair? Seems hard to apply to yourself without missing sections, but also seems like it could decrease styling time by a lot.

If it’s not too late to join, I would love to. I’m usually a twist-out natural; been doing them since I went natural almost 10 years ago. But, I have been loving wash n go’s this year.
Disclaimer: I don’t follow the A’s or See Some Curls at all and I am not at all ingredient conscious. I usually use more affordable products and plastic gels.
My wash n go this week is gorgeous! Shiny, defined, and has volume and moisture with hold.
I washed twice with Creme of Nature Ultra Moisturizing shampoo (yes, with sulfates), conditioned with the now defunct Natually Silk Elements Deep Nourishing Conditioner (it was my fav, so I stocked up when it was discontinued. I still have plenty) and topped that with Aussie Moist conditioner for slip, and detangled with my knockoff Kiss “Tangle Teezer” with the handle.
I then applied the (discontinued. WHY???) ORS Ghee Butter Leave In Conditioner to soaking wet hair. I let this marinate for about 30-45 minutes until the hair is very damp and then I applied Eco Styler Olive Oil in small sections in a smoothing motion with some lazy shingling. My hair seems to retain more hold and definition when I apply gel to damp hair, not wet.
I don’t have a hooded dryer, so I just used my blow dryer to get it to about 85% dry and then went to bed. Now, I’m on 5th day hair and the cast is starting to loosen up.

I swear my ears perk up every time I hear lightweight styling product. I automatically assume drying time will be cut in half and I’ll get some volume without too much effort.
I’m going to assume they don’t have samples. Just go ahead and say, “ I volunteer as tribute!”
It’s doing great for a product that has soft hold. How does it feel to the touch?
Wow, this is holding up really well.
Now that’s something I think I might try. I wonder how that will work for someone who doesn’t rinse half the conditioner out and towel blot the excess.
Welcome. You are right on time.

It’s a slight crunch to the top layer. Not really hard but present if you touch it @DVAntDany it’s not bad but I wouldn’t use the Juicy Curls by itself. It’s too lightweight.
