Wash N Go Thread

[Mz.MoMo5235]

Yeah?! Those two prods have high protein in them? I know using raw shea butter mixed with evco oil didnt help and that always helps. I wonder why my crowns porosity and protein needs would change so randomly like that?

Tomorrow I can do an egg treatment on my crown, see if that perks things up. Hopefully the extra protein wont mess up the rest of my hair though. All my hair is doing great with the exception of my crown

If it does turn out to be an insufficient protein issue, you could keep some protein reconstructor in your shower and apply that to your crown a few times a week to help keep your hair balanced. Almost all of the reconstructors that I used to use have been discontinued it seems lol but I think Giovanni still has their Nutrafix recon., and Tresemme has some sorta protein treatment from their Platinum Strength line.

I like using Shea Moisture Yucca & Baobab Anti-Breakage Hair Masque for my weekly dc's. And Giovanni has a new product line (2chic) and their Brazilian Keratin & Argan conditioner is great, super thick and creamy, great for detangling. I also like Shea Moisture's Yucca & Baobab Thickening Growth Milk as a leave-in. My hair loves and needs lots of protein.

I participated in the run like a diva half marathon on Saturday and I did wash n go using fruit of the earth aloe vera gel. 1st picture is before the race and 2nd picture was at the end of race. Hair stayed pretty much in place and I was not looking crazy after running 13.1 miles in the Georgia humidity. I was a sweaty mess by the end but I think my hair held up. picture of my dog dressed as a diva too.

That's awesome! And your hair still looks fabulous!

Sincerely,
EnExit

P.S: You can have mine if you want. Just a forewarning.....she can get a bit ratchet

I have a question for you all. I have figured out how to make my wash n go last for about 5-7 days. However, I'm unsure if I should be moisturizing and sealing daily/ nightly. I have been waking up putting some oil on my hair and shaking. Is this enough?

 

[pattyr5]

My wash and go using Hair Rules.

I used the new Hello Curly gel. It may be my new HG gel. It works great, is moisturizing and has great definition.

How would you compare the Hello Curly Curl Stimulator to Kinky Curly Curling Custard?

Thanks

I prefer to moisturize between washes. I may or may not seal depending on how my hair is feeling

 

[beauti]

EnExitStageLeft yassss let's trade! My hair is not always on her best behavior and the different textures don't play nice. Just know if we swap I'm ending your transition

 

[AJellyCake]

My wash and go using Hair Rules.

Your hair looks great! pattyr5

And I ordered this gel! I'm so excited to try it!!! Where did you buy yours?

kandigyrl unlike today, that's what I usually do...a mixture of oils (avocado, safflower, castor, etc) just a little on the length and ends..roots are fine first couple days then the night of third day I moisturize roots lightly.

 

[EnExitStageLeft]

beauti

At this point...I'm ready to end this transition lol. Thank god for wigs

 

[pattyr5]

Gorgeous! Is this 1st say hair?

Awww, thanks and Yes, that's day two.... I can only get two days before it gets puffy. My day 3 is a different look altogether. Most of the time I redo my hair or wear a puff if its too big.

 

[pattyr5]

Thank you! Hair Rules gives me life! I love love love the whole line especially the gel...it's my HG gel. I buy the products when I go to the salon but if I run out in between visits I get it at Ricky's NYC.

Thanks ladies. I will do a light moisturizing here and there and see how it works.

Joigirl How would you compare the Hello Curly Curl Stimulator to Kinky Curly Curling Custard? Thanks

I like both, but I would put Hello Curly slightly ahead because the hold is a little lighter so I had defined but fluffy hair. My curls shrink a lot with KCCC, but were slightly more elongated with HC. The slip in HC is awesome too. If you like KCCC you will likely love HC.

Glamcurls79 has a YouTube video comparing HC to the original UFD.

 

[whiteoleander91]

Wash and go turned ponytail lol. I used Eco Styler Krystal and Worlds of Curls.

I think the ES Krystal is my HG styling gel. I friggin love this stuff. I'm already almost done with my jar

For me it's enough. As long as my hair is behaving and doesn't feel dry I just scrunch in some oil after a few days.

Thanks! Yeah I saw her vid yesterday.... so far it's the only review for Hello Curly on Youtube since the product just came out ... I wanted to hear/see comparisons to KCCC because it's the only Gel I've been using lately (was never a Gel head but I'm on the Max Hydration Method now)

 

[MissMusic]

CocoGlow, Elle of A Quest for the Perfect Curl has done a comparison of UFD Curly Magic vs KCCC. Hello Curly is supposed the be the same as UFDCM, so that might be helpful. Video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TW0jsNh2ZU

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

Fresh WnG. Cowashed with Herbal Essences Butter Conditioner. Left a little in, then raked in Xtreme Wetline gel

 

[beauti]

whiteoleander91 does that combo leave your hair soft or crunchie? I have tried argan and olive oil from eco Stryker and my hair always slightly crunchie day one and two no matter the layer of moisture...

Hey Sis thanks for the heads up ... I will look for more comparisons between these 2, makes sense!

Elle didn't really say which one she preferred in the vid - I think she was doing an experiment with half her hair in KCCC & the other half in UFDCM to see if they would react to her hair differently and did a previous vid asking her viewers if they know which side had which Gel based on how her hair looked wet - that's all she seemed to answer in the vid (which side had which gel) but from the comments section she says they looked and felt the same on her hair

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

I'm quite sure she stuck to the original UFD formula because lots of folks liked it better than KCCC. I love KCCC, always have. It never fails in my hair.

UFD Curly Magic always left a weird glaze over my hair. It works but it took a day to get that cast off. I'll try the Hello curly when she does a BF sale.


My favorite gels are KCCC, Xtreme Wetline Gel, and Curly Kinks Coil Jam
