Your looks really pretty Poohbear! :yep: I understand about the tighter curls needing to be stretched tho. Even though the majority of my hair is a looser curl pattern....the hair at my nape and around the sides by my ears is a tight curl pattern(4a-ish).

For those areas i gently stretch them as my hair dries. I use more leave-in in those areas also...and instead of over raking...i do more smoothing. Its the opposite for the rest of my curls....i use a bit more of my styler on my looser curls than my leave-in...and the ones in the front have to be scrunched.

EcoStyler takes experimenting tho....when i first started WnG'ing i used too much. Now i use about 4 or 5 small scoops over my entire head.

Edited to add: I also wanted to say that my camera phone pictures does no justice for how my hair really looks. The pictures make my hair look blurry and fuzzier than it really is.

Your phone does not do it any justice and your hair looks this great? Are you just fishing for compliments here? :lol:
 
I was still looking for the perfect product to do wash and goes with. I had tried darcy botanicals curling jelly and kccc. They were both ok but I wasnt in love. Well I recently bought a gel called kiss my face upper management gel and I think it may be the one. It defines my curls, seperates and clumps. It dries with a little crunch but nothing too bad. It elngates my curls like no other gel and it has great ingredients. I usually hate the way gel feels but this stuff isnt sticky or anything. It also dries super fast.

This is my hair today. Day 3 hair.

My hair is never this defined. I want to try it again to see if it was just a fluke before I put it on my holy grail list.
 
^^^ KMF UMG is fab. It is no fluke. I love it. I just found, for me, it didn't work as well on damp hair, but amazing results on wet hair.
 
These first two pictures are from a somewhat diffused wash n go. I never usually diffuse but didn't want to leave the house with the jerri curl look. It seemed to help a bit with elongation.

This last picture is of a wash n go that I flattened out a bit with a wave iron.

I am officially a wash n go girl now. My method is simple (to me).

1. Cowash hair with cheap conditioner. Rice cheap condish out.
2. Section hair (sectioning hair is important for me, it helps to make sure the product is distributed) and apply Tresemme Naturals Conditioner, melted Shea Butter, and Eco Styler Olive Oil gel
3. Let it do what it do!

Now for day 2, 3, 4 hair? I have yet to achieve that. But i use my locsoc and for day 2 i make a pony tail. Days three and four I make a bun. And it works for me...

Subbing!! Y'all know I love WnG's....and I'm rockin em the whole summer.

1. Put hair in 4 parts
2. Apply co-cleanser, and then shower
3. Scratch scalp, then detangle while rinsing out co-cleanser.
4. Run oil mix through hair, then apply conditioner & Curl activator
5. Shake, throw on headband, and go.

I've got it down to a science now...takes me about 30 mins all told. At night I spray my hair, put on my Buff, and go to bed. Next day I spray, shake, headband, and done.

I really like your hair color!
 
This thread is exactly why it helps to take pics of your progress. This is the pic I originally posted in this thread in April of last year:

And this is my hair today on day 4 on a WnG:

I guess I finally realize what "hair anorexia" is b/c in my mind, my hair still looks like the first pic.

Does diffusing help create body and bouce in a wash and go?

I think for fine hair it does

For my very thick hair i have yet to see a difference

I co wash everyday.

I use fruitis conditioner or suave tropical coconut. I risne half of it out with cold water.

From there I either use shea moisure coconut milk or aussie 3 minute miracle as leave in. Then I lightly go over my hair with curls unleashed.

my avi is a cowash after 10 hours

It does. It just takes so god damn long. And it hard not to touch your hair during the process.
 
I read this thread from beginning to end. You all have some gorgeous, gorgeous hair!

Can you help me with my wash and go please? I'm newly natural and still trying to get this down. My biggest issues are dryness, undefined curls, and shrinkage. My hair is APL in the nape (shorter elsewhere; about 8 inches all around) and will shrink to the top of my neck once my wash and go is dry. :nono: I also have a TON of white residue and white dots if I use ECO .

I'm also trying the CG method, so I am avoiding silicones and leaving lots of condish in. I've tried a lot of the techniques mentioned, but my hair still shrinks up and gets dry. And I'm definitely not getting second day hair. If my hair doesn't dry, it's because it's so thick and dense that it will stay wet for HOURS and HOURS (sometimes until the next day!).

Please help! Thank you :). :Rose::Rose:
