Wash N Go Thread

So I rcvd my order yesterday when I got home from work. Some of the items have more of a strong perfummy smell to me rather than a sweet smell. Anyway I cowashed with the coffee cowash and it smells good. It cleanses very well for a cowash. It didn't leave my hair feeling coated or rough. Actually it was very nice and soft. It has some slip but I didn't detangle with it yet. I will do that next time. The consistency is kind of on the thicker side. I really like this stuff. After I left my hair on my turbie to soak up the water for 20 minutes. I applied the honey almond LI and then the honey almond moisturizing lotion and it had my hair nice. Like I said it has a strong perfume smell to me but it works wonders. My curls were so nice and defined...and get this here's the kicker...elongated! My hair shrinks up something bad especially with a wash n go. This LI and lotion hand my hair very much elongated.

Wash n go with Annabelle's Perfect Blend Hair Creme and Eco-styler Argan. 1st day hair nearly dry and a little crunchy. First time I've used this combo. I will let you know how long it lasts.

So my hair only lasted about 4 days with the APB hair creme and Eco Styler. My hair was soooo soft that it started getting relatively frizzy pretty quick. I could have gone longer, but I work in a very conservative financial firm and I know they will frown upon my big curly fro. I used the APB creme again tonight for a TO over my WNG. I still love the creme, but may use it with a leave in next time.

My modified pineapple is working wonders. I didn't realize how much rewetting my hair every day led to tangles and shrunken hair. Now my WNG is has some movement and a little more hang time.

Wow you got those kinds of results from water only? Have you been doing a water only method for the long haul?

I was and still am interested in water only method. But I had problems with slip and detangling.

Yes. The natural sebum and water keeps my hair very hydrated so my kinks clump together. Not sure if you can see it on camera phone. The thing I noticed about detangling is to part gently. Pull strands up to loosen tangles. Sometimes if it forms one big not I hold knot in one hand while pulling strands up then out. Sometimes just a few strands at a time until you are only holding the shed hair....which caused the tangle in the first place. If all the hair draws up while doing this just gently pull and smooth entire batch out and start again. You don't want to tighten the knot by excessive pulling in the same direction.
Hth :)
 
This thread needs to be bumped up! spring and summer is coming soon! Should we have a wash n go challenge this summer?
 
I finally got my wash n go together. Been rollersetting with success for a while now but think that the high heat it takes to get bouncy shinny curls is drying out my scalp and the weather is nice now, so here's my w 'n g routine that FINALLY worked:

*Pre-poo overnight with ghee butter and baggie
*Co-wash out in AM with any ole conditioner
*Cond. with something better (but not necessarily my best or deep cond.)
*Avoid comb and Denman brush at all costs
*Leave a lot of the last conditioner in hair
*Leave hair sopping wet
*Scrunch bottom so weight of water/cond. doesn't elongate too much and look straggly
*Apply oil (growth) mix with a roots only applicator dye bottle
*Apply another layer of something -- Palmer's Coconut Pudding / Cantu Shea butter
*Shake Hair so curls find each other
*Head Band
*Go
*Sometimes I apply more oil and gel only to hairline (but find that if my diet/sleep/H20 balance is on point, hair lies smoother in general and doesn't need it - gel, IMO, is damaging to hair -- even the ones with Olive Oil, etc.)

I think that second day hair via pineapple method only works well consistently when you have enough length so I just do the above everyday and look forward to it.

Stats: Texlaxed once/twice a year, fine 3(b) ish, concerned more about hair and edge thickness than length but a one length bob of a hair curtain would be my ideal.

I cowashed with AS I AM cowash and then applied avocado oil to soaking wet hair. I applied cantu leave in and Anabelles cotton candy butter. Then shea moisture CES (hate this stuff but gotta use it up) and shea moisture souffle then eco styler argon gel on top. First pic is wet hair the rest are 70% dry.

I really love her creams! They work wonderful and leave my hair soft and moisturized. Also I find they elongate my hair which I love bc my shrinkage is crazy. And they smell good lol

ETA- thanks too :-)

I love her creams too. They make my hair so soft. Once I scrunch out the crunch from my gel, my hair feels almost pillowy. I bought cremes for my mom, sister and SIL so they can experience it.
 
3 day old wash n go still going strong. I'm actually surprised it lasted this long. And I didn't even pineapple last night.
