ok I just ordered after finding out I had enough change to get them I read some reviews that was using both products and I am going to see if it is so.... I never paid attention of the sulfates and cones in this product either well I am not having a problem with it.

I hope you like it!
I need someone else to help me wallow happily in it. 
I've been using it everyday so far this week. My hair feels so soft and fluffy with it. It doesn't feel crunchy to me...just a nice soft hold. I kinda wish it had a tad more hold to it...juuuuussst a lil bit.

I don't understand what I did wrong...I washed and DC'd my hair and put in a leave in by Darcy's...my curls looked great and my hair was soft when wet....
However, when it dried...it looked good, but was DRY, hard, and crunchy...what happened I wonder? And how can I fix it tonight so that I can have soft curls tomorrow?

Put some oil in your hands and run it thru. But you might need to lightly spritz some water on before you put your oil on.

My WNG was a bust again! I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but it came out frizzy with white dandruff-looking balls everywhere.
I smoothed conditioner on soaking-wet hair, then raked EcoStyler through to the ends and squeezed out excess product. Then I scrunched argon oil in and left it alone to dry.
Any suggestions?

My WNG was great today....All I did was co-wash with Aussie DEEEP and left some in. Put it in a Pony and was off to work! SOFT ALL DAY NO CRUNCH. In the front I had to slick it down with water and Eco Styler Olive Oil and it stayed layed down all day...just wrapped it in a satin "hair bag/Pouch"(?) I got from the BSS....lets see how many days I can get...

So I wore my hair OUT today...no pony. Mixed Aussie DEEEP, EcoStyler Olive Oil Gel, Paul Mitchell Skinny Serum and Water into a bottle shook it up and poured it over my hair. Squeezed out the excess towel blotted gently, put on a head band and was out the door. So far no frizz of puffiness...we'll see what really happens....
ETA: It is 2:15pm EST and my hair is crunchy now...still not frizzy but I KNOW it's the Paul Mitchell that makes it feel like this...but it's also probably the Paul Mitchel that is keeping it from becoming an ENOURMOUS poof ball...

my wash and go have been amazing lately. i have been using curl junkie hibiscus and banana honey butta leave in over lighter leave ins as a moisturizer because the honey butta is so thick. well come to find out the honey butta is a styler too. it has just the right amount of hold i like. you can barely feel the hold its so light yet i can get second and third day hair with it. ive been doing this for about 2 weeks and i always get the same soft bouncy hair. i will admit though it makes my hair look a lot shorter than it does when i just use a leave in, because normally i dont use a styler. i am loving th honey butta leave in.

Here's my latest wash n go. Day 2 hair is purple shirt and Day 3 is other pic. I do touch my hair alot and I'm sure it would last longer if I could keep my darn hands out my hair. I used Giovanni leave-in conditioner, eco styler gel ont one with argan oil. Seal with coconut and castor oil.

BUMP!!!!
hey all, so ill be doing my BC in a few short weeks, I know that the WNG will be my staple style since i excersise daily and sweat a lot on my scalp. I think that i have a grip on the technique just wondering if adding oil also after the gel will make my hair less crunchy? but still keep the hold?

I add light oil to my scalp (if needed to eliminate agitation from the gel) and I still have hold.

My WnGs are pretty simple: after washing/cowashing I use V05 strawberries & cream cond (on my very wet hair) and then I just rake in KCCC. On days when I'm NOT lazy (which are far& few between I will apply in sections).
I can get up to 3rd day hair. I just tie at night w a silk scarf and the next am I fluff to remedy the bedhead issue , spritz with water , shake & go.
These are old pics. I'm in the HYH challenge.

i have the same problem... i dont experience this when i part in small sections and shingle with the same products. But i dont have time to do that every morning.
Ozma ^^^Um. I would advice you to rinse your hair clean, then add a quarter size of creamy conditioner or leave in, then oil hair root to tip(don't be cheap on the oil) making sure you oil from root to tip and this is when u add the ecostyler root to tip to either small sections of hair for more of a defined look or a large sections of hair and FINGER COMB IT THROUGH.
When you are ready to wash out add conditioner and then shampoo or just co wash.
HTH.

Day 2 w&g. Excuse the dirty mirror! I achieved by co-washing w/ Nexxus Humectant condish, applying coconut oil in 4 sections, towel dry then shake.

I've been doing some experimentation with wash and go's this weekend.
Yesterday I cowashed and detangled in my usual four sections. I took one section down, applied a little curl junkie smoothing lotion, separated it into fourths, smoothed some queen helene sculpting gel into each mini section, and then applied a little curl junkie curls in a bottle over the quartered section. I did this for each of the four sections of my hair. I loved the way it looked wet, but when it dried it was a little bushy for my personal tastes.
Today I cowashed and detangled and had my hair in the same four sections. I applied a little smoothing lotion like I had done the day before. When I separated a section into fourths I used carefree curl lite gel activator, then I applied a little queen helene sculpting gel to the section as a whole, followed by a little curls in a bottle. It seems like a lot of product but it worked for my hair fabulously.
I have found that in order to not get single strand knots or have hair that's too big for my tastes I really need to set my curl.
The first two pictures are from yesterday's wash and go: wet, and dry.
The last two pictures are from today: wet, and dry.
I really think you can tell the difference. My hair is going to shrink up and get bigger, but if it already has volume when it's wet, I know that it will be HUGE when it dries.
