Wash N Go Thread

[CaraWalker]

ok yeah, yall have convinced me ima leave that on the shelf especially since it costs just the same as the edens creme.

 

[CaraWalker]

I didn't work for me. I think that the coconut and Shea just don't work for my hair. It dried out quickly. Others swear by it though. You might also want to consider the Eden Bodyworks Soufflé or Curl Creme. The cream is a little thicker than the soufflé. I've only used the cream, but it creates nicely defined curls that are really soft. I use the LOC method as well to maintain moisture for about three days.

btw Joigirl is the LOC method using the towel? or what is that?

 

[Joigirl]

It is the Liquid, Oil, Creme method. This might be too heavy for your hair, but I use my KBN Shealoe Leave in, Olive oil and then the creme. I style while my hair is soaking wet, but do what works best for your hair.

My miss for 2nd day hair on a wash n go. My crown is my problem area and just frizzes like crazy. I will figure this out bc I'm sticking to wash n gos probably until end of August. Is anyone going to start a wash n go thread for summer? If so I would like to join...

I am loving those curls! Looks really fluffy. My crown is a frizzy mess sometimes too. It dried out before the rest of my hair by days, not hours. I find myself having to moisturize which causes it to frizz more and then restyle just that section with a styler to keep it looking nice after day three.

I did my wash and go for this week. It is so easy to do and I love to just release my curls I washed in the morning and then I used my leave in conditioner and my setting wrap lotion. If I am in a rush I sit underneath the dryer for 15 minutes before I leave the house.

yeah, i tried the soaking wet method, and i dont think it works for me. ive been having much better results with the towel.

im going to buy a cream for my wash and gos. i recently discovered that my hair does good being wrapped in a towel after washing. i took another posters advice and smoothed my hair with "praying hands" while in the shower and applying leave in. then i toss my head over, wrap my hair in a towel, and twist the top of it with my hair in it. the curls are much more defined and clump together better that way. but without any product it quickly feels dry after maybe only a day, so im hoping i can use something to prolong the life. it would look fine for 2 day hair, it just feels dry. is this stuff any good? this is the one ive been toying with buying. if its the one im thinking of it smells soooooo good. but im not actually at target rn so i may be thinking of a different product.

Works wonders for my daughter's 3C hair....for my 4A/4B hair it's a disaster... I don't think it's the coconut because my hair loves coconut.

Thanks Joi...maybe that's what I need to do.

I had a great wash and go yesterday and today. I wore a bun over night and used aloe Vera gel and coconut oil to refresh it the second day.

I've been experimenting with bigger fluffier wng's so I used no gel this time. Just moisturizer. I don't know how I like it yet. I don't think it will last the week like I want my wng's to do. I'm looking into a good curl cream to try. Something to give me soft curls but with hold.

Thanks sweetie. I've been natural like 15 years and still experimenting and finding out new things and ways to style my curls. It's fun and frustrating at the same time lol.

Well...I've never done a real wash n go, so whenever y'all start one, please tag me in

 

[AJellyCake]

I had the best wash n go everrrrrrrrrrr yesterday! My hair was sooooo soft--zero crunch--and still is. Joigirl recommended ECO Argan to me a while ago, and I think it's my favorite gel of the series. For me it feels really moisturizing and doesn't dry my hair out.

This is 2nd day hair. I just took my scarf off but didn't do anything else.




Let me write what I did here for posterity . I used a lot of products that I don't use normally, but I might have to revisit some of these.

My hair was in a really, really old twistout, which I had bunned for a few days. So it was really dry.

I dry DCed overnight with AOHSR, which I haven't used in over a year. I woke up and cowashed with Shea Moisture Co-Wash Conditioning Cleanser (twice because I had build-up) using lukewarm water. It was really nice and didn't strip my hair. Then I oil rinsed with a mixture of coconut oil and olive oil (again, usually don't do this but I figured why not), then DCed with Shea Moisture Smooth & Repair Nourishing Hair Masque for 40 minutes with very low heat. This DC was really nice: my hair did feel very smooth and silky once I washed it out. Then I rinsed all of that out and applied stylers in 4 sections using praying hands and being sure to apply more product to my roots, which can frizz easily: Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie (which I have tried unsuccessfully before), Worlds of Curls Activator Gel (the Extra Dry Hair one), and ECO Argan. Air dried--which took forever, but probably about as long as when I use KCCC.

When I went to bed, I cross-wrapped. Woke up, took the scarf off, and that's it. I think I need to shake my head because it looks a little uneven but isn't .

The only problem is I'm on the West Coast, so I'm not sure if I can recreate this once I'm back on the humid East Coast because of the glycerin.

 

[AJellyCake]

bunnycolvin For me it has been hit and miss. I think it is an ok product and a good place to start. It does smell amazing. It is cheap, with good ingredients, by a Black-owned company, so I like it. Lol I just wish it liked me back every time I used it. It worked the last time I used it (lol see above post), but it doesn't always. I think it depends a lot on what you use it with.

Edit: Also co-signing the Eden BodyWorks Curl Creme. It's very nice.

im going to buy a cream for my wash and gos. i recently discovered that my hair does good being wrapped in a towel after washing. i took another posters advice and smoothed my hair with "praying hands" while in the shower and applying leave in. then i toss my head over, wrap my hair in a towel, and twist the top of it with my hair in it. the curls are much more defined and clump together better that way.

but without any product it quickly feels dry after maybe only a day, so im hoping i can use something to prolong the life. it would look fine for 2 day hair, it just feels dry.

is this stuff any good? this is the one ive been toying with buying. if its the one im thinking of it smells soooooo good. but im not actually at target rn so i may be thinking of a different product.

This is my wash n go from Monday

AJellyCake your hairrr I want my hair to be that length curly!! but my texture shrinks a lot. I'll probably have to be HL for it to hang like that at my nape, and thigh-length in the front

SweetlyCurly so luscious!! your curls look so plump and healthy

 

[AJellyCake]

whiteoleander91 Thank you!!! I've always loved your beautiful hair! It always looks so shiny!!! My longest layer is about 2 inches from waist length, and I usually have around 60-75% shrinkage. It does seem to be hanging more today, which is fine by me! I think my goal length is around hip length straight, which would be probably BSL-MBL curly. That's about all the hair I can handle!

thank you!! I hope my hair hangs a lot more once I reach waist length. I'm about 4 to 5 inches away from WL and my nape hangs a few inches past my shoulders curly. Overall I'm SL curly. Sigh. I have a long way to go!
