Wash N Go Thread

Lmao @ obese! Glycerin in humid weather does that to my hair which is why I was hesitant to get it. It got so many raves though, and I got the huge tub. Thinking of returning it if I can find the receipt.

I should have grabbed the squeeze tube instead of the tub lol. I really wanted to like it b/c, like you said, soo many people have raved about this gel!
 
Has anyone found any gel comparable to Garnier Pure Clean? I love what it does for styling my hair, but it has Benzyl Alcohol which I would like to stay away from. TIA!

I did this Wash n Go with Xtreme Wetline Gel and Garnier Pure Clean Gel piled on top of each other:

That is an awesome wash and go!

If you're willing to shell out the extra bucks, you can try Kinky-Curly Curling Custard or Alikay Naturals Creme Brulee Curling Delight. I've tried both and they had consistencies similar to Garnier Pure Clean and give the same type of wonderful definition.

I like Kinky-Curly better because for some reason Alikay Natural's Curling Delight left a nasty smell in my hair after it dried. :nono: I'm not sure if it was just that batch or what. But I switched to KCCC and had no problems! :yep:

As far as cheap drugstore brands, I haven't found any comparable to Garnier Pure Clean.

Your curls are so flippin pretty. Great job!
 
I'm not liking my options with my TWA but the one saving grace is that I love the way my hair smells all the time. I'm working on the way it feels and I'm almost there with the layering of products. I'm currently in love with Wen Orange Blossom and Wen Peach.
 
Revisited plopping and I got awesome results! Loving the volume and juicy chunky curls. No pics yet but maybe later. Now I just gotta get some shape to my hair. It's uneven and the ends are thin but that's gonna have to wait until my first straighten of the fall/winter. I'm really unhappy with it though and I just want to chop some curls but that's how I messed it up in the first place.

Also revisited Wetline just on my edges and boy does it have a strong hold. Stronger than ecostyler. The next day they are still laid down even through sleeping.
 
Did the same technique as before with different gels and got totally different results. I used Salon Care Firm Hold Aloe Vera gel under Koils by Nature Herbal gel. Unlike last time, neither one of these gels had glycerin. Gonna try KCCC or Alikay Naturals Custard next

I think that serious hold is why wetline works for me. I want to find a gel without protein or glycerine, but with that same hold as wetline. It seems like a near to impossible order.

yea I was hesitant because of the glycerin but recently I've been using As I Am Smoothing Gel (glycerin) and it is working quite well. I get great hold and definition and shine but it's not a crunchy hold.

Please fill me in, what is "plopping"? I probably don't have enough hair to do it yet but I keep hearing about people doing it. I need to know what I'm missing.

Using a t shirt or similar cloth type towel and instead of towel drying the usual way you set your hair in it and gently scrunch. I'll find a video and post it later. I'm terrible at describing lol

Sent from my SPH-L300 using LHCF please ignore typos
 
krikit96 Mz.MoMo5235 Thanks, ladies. I am already doing that...I was hoping it was some new-fangled something that I could try to get me to something other than this TWA. Guess I'll just have to wait till it grows out :(
 
I just bought some Shea Butter Miracle Bouncy Curls Pudding. I'm going to do the shingling method for my next WNG. We'll see how it turns out. I like this stuff because it has better ingredients than Ecostyler. BTW I saw some Olive Oil Gel (forgot which company I'll try to find it) that has no Alcohol, Protein or Parabens. I think that may be my next treat.

Using a tshirt to dry and set your curls. I'm sold on it now because I loved the results and I hate wet hair hanging. I got so much volume at the roots that I never get when leaving my hair to hang dry or diffuse. I think I'm gonna plop and sit under the dryer next time and see what happens.

I need some Xtreme Professional Wetline gel. I wonder if any BSS will be open tomorrow for the holiday? I bet it would go good under some FSG.
 
I used the new Hello Curly gel. It may be my new HG gel. It works great, is moisturizing and has great definition.

Would love to see this! Please let us know if you find it. :)
 
Today's wash n go using curls line. I used their rinse out conditioner, lavish moisturizer (I do not like the sprayer product comes out in a skinny stream. I think I would prefer more of a most sprayer.), creme brûlée styler a goddess curls gel styler. I've let it air dry and it's still a little damp, but I'm happy with the results.
