Wash N Go Thread

[whiteoleander91]

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...

beauti

I have the same problem with the olive oil one!!! It's crunchy no matter what I do.

The combo of the krystal and the worlds of curls is very soft. Feels like naked moisturized hair. I'm sporting second day hair and it's still very defined even though it's fluffy soft. I apply the Eco first, then the WoC on top (the one for extra dry hair).

yeah I don't want to keep relying on day 3 to have soft hair. By then my hair is starting to frizz

Eta whiteoleander91 where do you get the woc btw? Never heard of it.thnx

whiteoleander91 thanks girl! Unfortunately I don't have any of those stores where I live and don't recall ever seeing those products I will look extra hard.
bronzephoenix is cg curly girl method or name of product?thnx

 

[beauti]

okay today was 3rd day hair and it was soft but it rained today and right side was frizzy, lost some definition. So I did an updo of sorts. Hopefully it will look like this tomorrow

 

[whiteoleander91]

whiteoleander91 thanks girl! Unfortunately I don't have any of those stores where I live and don't recall ever seeing those products I will look extra hard.

beauti aw, I hope you can find it. Any BSS should carry it. If not WoC, you can try Long Aid curl activator, and you can get that at Walgreens, CVS, and Walmart.

does anyone else have hair in the front that is significantly different from the rest of their hair?

it hardly shrinks and is very floppy.

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

whiteoleander91 my bangs are looser than the rest of my hair. I think its because I manipulate my bangs more than the rest of my hair. Usually if I'm being lazy, I will bun the back and twist out the bangs. When I decide to twist my hair, I always start in the front but by the time I get to the back, I'm over it.


Hair wasnt dry before bed and fell asleep on it, so its mushed up on one side. Deciding if I should just cowash it again but I'm skating tonight , so its going to be mushy anyways... Hmm.

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

bronzephoenix ,try Sheamoisture souffle as a replacement for curl activator gel under a hard gel. It will cut the hardness out. You will have to play around with it though because all you really need is a tiny amount per section

The front center portion of my hair is different than the rest. It is A different texture and pattern. I'm not sure how it will look as it grows out. It also shrinks less than the rest.

Do you ever use heat? Is it possibly damaged? I have a section like that but I think I damaged it awhile back when I was stretching my curls with the blow dryer which i no longer do. It's been growing out for awhile but it still looks weird. I try to make it blend better by using the denman brush, it makes my curls more uniform.

 

[beauti]

whiteoleander91 yes I have a patch in the front on my left side that just hangs/flops, gotta scrunched it for it to curl. Very annoying

i wondered about that but my patch is 100% natural and I have not used heat on my natural hair. It's very odd

I've got some weird areas that don't seem to match as well. I think everyone does. Using my denman brush seems to give me the most uniform results.

Wash and go using Keracare leave in conditioner and just a tiny bit of extreme wet line gel .

I very seldom use heat and I have cut that section many times and it keeps growing back this way!! Lol plus, I think that section is high porosity; it's very bumpy when I run my fingers over it and is super tangle prone.

Yes! World of curls and Eco Argan made my hair amazing. Eco Crystal, too!! But I'm not sure if they hindered my internal moisture retention. I did WoC before the Eco though. Any reason why you do it after?

Now I'm experimenting with MHM, though, so I can't use these products. I might go back though

AJellyCake I usually apply the WoC first, but I've noticed that when I do, I end up using more activator than styling gel. Since WoC costs more per ounce than the styling gel--and, unlike WoC, I can actually get the styling gel in a huge bucket (5lbs!!)--I find it more cost effective to use the styler first, then use the activator. Now my WoC tubs last me longer :3

I've been lurking in the MHM thread and it seems that a lot of ladies are modifying the regimen to suit their individual needs. Gon' head and use it

Shawnyblaze,
KCCC never fails me, too! I also like Curly Kinks Coil Jam. How does the Xtreme Wetline compare to KCCC as far as elongation and crunch?

.I love KCCC, always have. It never fails in my hair.


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

No crunch, a little more elongation than KCCC but can be a little tacky because of the glycerin but the shine and definition is , sometimes I use it under KCCC/Coil Jam as a moisturizer. SimplyWhole

Of course it does. I know even though I got mine cut only last month people have already started saying it's grown already. So hang in there.

I haven't been in here for ages! I've been loving this wash and go I did on Sunday that's still looking great. I just used ecostyler argan oil gel after I co washed.









These are just the same pics that are in my avi and siggy but I thought I'd put them in for a closer look. I took these pics yesterday. I just tied the wash and go back in a very loose ponytail.

Tried something new today, Wonder Curl Curl Control Styling Lotion. It was so thick and hard to spread but once I got it on it gave a lot of hold and kept my hair looking wet. Not sure if I actually like it yet. I'm thinking about trying their gel. I'm still trying to get a week out of my WNG like some of you.
