Wash And Go, To Grow And To Dazzle 2020 Challenge

I think when my current bottle of UFD is empty I’ll use king curly for awhile.

What is king curly?

Oops. Typo. I meant kinky curly.

Snapchat just sent me a flashback to this time last year. I had a fire washngo. I wish it would tell me what I used Lolol

 

[faithVA]

I bought Trepadaro Bamboo Glaze and the Papaya Slip. They were out of the Gogi Berry shampoo. I have no idea how or when I'm going to use either of them but I'm still on the hunt for something to work with this VA humidity.

For now though, I'm back in twist because I just can't be bothered with these tight coils.

I must have been in your shopping cart. The other night I was trying to buy both from usa online retailers and couldnt get them both. I gave up on both and I ordered just the Bamboo glaze after seeing reviews on yt

I wanted to get the sample size from Trepadora but I just couldn't justify the shipping cost. Looking forward to seeing how it works for you. The Bamboo glaze is nice and thick. It probably works better in a jar than a bottle but will see. The papaya slip is not as thick of a consistency. I may try the papaya slip before the glaze and see how that works. But I will do some research.

My hair likes to absorb water from the air but it doesn't like to hold onto it

I feel like I may have finally perfected my wash n go and it only took me 3.5 years.
The last key steps for me were

- measuring out my product so I use the same amount every ti

- making sure I don’t remove too much product from my roots when I smooth

- do LOTs of raking once all my product is applied- this keeps my hair from being too flat on day 1.

- dry my hair before I make my side part

I need to record this in my notes. Styling has never been this consistent for me.

Glad you nailed it!

Random thought. I don’t like that trapezoid shape everyone is doing. I get it but I don’t like how it makes the shape of the face look until it hits shoulder length.

I agree. There are a lot of shapes that I'm not loving. I don't mind them on others but I have to watch stylist because they always want to try something new.

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

Im going to need several good ole steam sessions to re-hydrate my curls after 6 months of protective styling

Here is my wash and go from the Doux Bee Girl collection. This wash and go is really poppin. I hope this can last me a week. It has super crunch. Its giving me what I wanted from Ecoslay Jello Shot.

@Napp
Is you hair wet or dry in that picture? Which specific styling products did you use?

It is fully dry. I used The Doux Supersonic Honey Condish as a leave in and Bee Girl Honey Curling Custard as my styler. It dried really fast too!

I’m enjoying washing my hair on Wednesdays, it frees up my time on Saturdays. But getting up at 6 in the morning is a bit taxing on my sleep schedule.

 

[oneastrocurlie]

I need a combo that gives me the hang time of kckt + ich and the moisture of ufd + a mousse. Hoping some combo of things I already have will do the trick.

I finally purchased Ecoslay’s Jello Shot. If this gel doesn’t work to protect my ends, I may give up WNGs.

I hope it works out with Jell-O shot. I may it pull out next wash day to give it another chance

 

[GettingKinky]

I need to clarify. My last set isn’t behaving like it should and it’s been 6 weeks since the last time.
I think I’ll just stick to my schedule of every 4 weeks instead of waiting for my hair to act up.

 

[GettingKinky]

I hate the state my hair is in after my hairdresser colors my grays. She doesn’t squish in water while she conditions and she detangles my hair after she rinses all the conditioner out.

it take my hair for ever to absorb water once she’s done with it, and detangling is a pain.

I wonder if I should ask her to detangle with the conditioner still in.

 

[janaq2003]

This humidity and my wash and go are not a match made in heaven.. as a matter of fact they hate each other

What products did you use?

 

[faithVA]

I'm so lazy but I'm trying to do better. My hair has been in sloppy flat twist since the last time I did a wash and go. Finally washed my hair yesterday after putting it off for not sure how many days.

I've started by rinsing, applying conditioner and then detangling and removing shed hair. I try to make sure I don't add shampoo until I get out as much shed hair as possible. It really helps me avoid tangling and matting.

I shampooed once with diluted Elucence Moisturizing shampoo and then shampooed again with Madison Reed Color Shampoo.

I have to remember that I can get more water into my strands if I add slight tension to my hair with one of my brushes.

I wanted to do another K18 treatment so I stopped after the shampoo. I had some other things to do so I just let my hair air dry a bit and once it was dry I added K18 to 4 sections. I then got busy cooking and finally 4 hours later I applied deep conditioner to the 4 sections and twisted it up.

I was supposed to rinse this morning and try another wash and go but I'm either going to do it this afternoon and diffuse or do it tomorrow morning.

I'm trying to decide whether I'm going to wear my hair in twist or wear it curly while on vacation. The next two weeks will decide.

 

[GettingKinky]

I’m trying to put off my wash n go until Wednesday so I can get back on schedule. I’ve been wearing a bun since I had my hair dyed on Wednesday. I may condition and detangle today just so it isn’t an unmanageable mess by Wednesday.

UFD and Jello Shot flaked after day 3. I am not sure what I'm doing wrong. I also don't like the way JS curls my hair. The curls look so thin compared to something like the Doux Bee girl or Alikay Lemongrass Gel.

I want to give away my other Jello shot. Just pay shipping. I do not like any of Ecoslay's products.

Are you using a leave-in or just applying UFD after conditioning? What is your ratio of Jello Shot to UFD? Maybe your ratios need an adjustment.

I use the UFD as my leave in. I don’t like either product honestly so I don’t know why I thought this would work. I may try the Jell-O shot with another leave in before I totally give up on it

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

Took my kinky twists out after 4 weeks. I didn’t have the energy to wash today.

I’ll do it tomorrow after work. Not expecting amazing results because I need to hydrate my hair for a bit. When my hairs stretched for months my curls are very elongated and stringy. The more I hydrate the more we boing.

I am looking forwarding to steaming

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

Currently steaming. Washing wasn’t too bad after 4 weeks. Decent amount of shed hair so far

I washed with AG balance and conditioned Authentic Beauty Concept Hydrate Conditioner.

currently steaming in Authentic Beauty Concept Hydrating Jelly with AG Nourish DC on top

I plan on trying out The Doux Custard and UFD Curly Magic as a leave in.
