Wash N Go Thread

HairPleezeGrow said:
If you were already working with an old wash n go then you probably used way too much product. If you already had gel in your hair the water you added more then likely reactivated what you had in your hair then adding more gel to it is a bit of overkill but you can scrunch out the crunch with an oil after it dries. I'm sure it will look fine though.

See, what had happened was.....a few weeks ago I had an awesome wash n go by accident. I was being lazy, and went through part of my wash routine, but then I was like "*** it"...I don't even think I DC'd. So I slathered on a bunch of conditioner, it was either tresemme curl hydration or tresemme moisture (the cone free one), and then I sealed with JBCO on my ends and put my hair back in the 6 twists that I washed in. I left the twists in for a day and it looked amazing when I took it out. I tried to replicate it Friday, but it wasn't the same (I added an extra conditioner). So I didn't have any gel in my hair before this current wng, but I did have curl hydration which has some strong cones. I realized that I need to keep a hair journal until I figure out what products and techniques work, so I don't have to keep guessing. Thanks for your help!

Oh okay yes keep a journal girl so you can get what you are looking for any time you want. Hope you figure it out and I'm sure you will. Good luck!

I forgot to post my hair from yesterday. We went to church and then to the movies for our son's 3 year old birthday. We then went to my hubby's uncle's house for father's day bbq. Didn't really know what to do to my hair so I cowashed it the night b4 and pineappled it but when I took pineapple down it wasn't cooperating so I pinned the side with a flower.

Well I'm back to wigging it lol. Need to hide my hair for a bit. I was going to get a sew in but I got all these darn wigs lying around I better use them lol. So my hair is braided up and wig applied.
 
So I've just started WNG this week; first time all natural. The last time I had a texturizer. The first time (Thursday night) I: Washed/conditioned with Dark and Lovely Au Naturale Applied Taliah Waajid The Great Detangler as my leave in Applied As I Am Curling Jelly in smaller sections. I didn't shingle. Sat under my hooded dryer for about 45 minute; shook while under the dryer a bit Pinneappled for the night. I loved the results until while getting in my car the next morning I saw flakes. I mean flakes just came out of nowhere. So I'm on the fence with the Curling Jelly. Went on the website and they said to "use liberally but too much may flake"

Today I washed/conditioned and this time:
Added black castor oil to my wet hair
Shingled with Eco Styler Pink
Sat under my hooded dryer again

Today's results were better. No flakes!! I'll have to wait to see 2nd day hair to compare level of poofiness. My hair grew way too full on 3rd day the first time around.

Gorgeous results
 
I'm about 2yrs post relaxer. The rt side of my hair is completely different from the left side. Curl pattern is different and the amount of natural hair.

Curl pattern looks the same to me. It looks as if you are fully natural on the one side that has more frizz and you still have relaxed ends on the other side possibly weighing it down and that's why they seem different. Your hair is gorgeous and I bet it's going to look amazing when you finally decide to cut the relaxed hair.

Pick aside and make the other side march either start scrunching the looser side or add products to trench the tighter side Hth

I've done successful wash n go #3. Same products and techniques - KCKT, Castor Oil, and KCCC applied one at a time with praying hands with my hair in four sections. Plopped hair with tshirt for 15-20 minutes, then left the house. This time I didn't wet it after applying it because it didn't last past day two. I think the rinsing washed away too much product.

Did my hair on Sunday morning, it was still damp in the middle Monday morning because my hair holds water and KCCC makes it worse. Used my new pineappling method of using banana clips not a satin scrunchy and now I'm on Day 3 with minimal frizz and still lots of definition! I think I can make it to Day 5 with it pulled back in a headband. Then maybe a bun and start all over again over the weekend.
 
Never thought wash n go's were for my 4a hair. IDK what happened but after watching a ton of youtube videos and using the correct dose and combination of products, I've been able to do it. Still can't believe that not only can I achieve this style but it also last a couple of days. The only thing I have to do now is figure out how to keep the hair that touches the back of my neck from getting so dry and nappy.

I want to duplicate this picture, but I may replace the avg pic with a curling cream one. I've been experimenting with my wash n gos lately, but I haven't done any of these, except Eco and I want to try Eco again.
