This thread is perfect. I will be heading the Sally's after work lol.

Anyone in here with a twa? I hate having to cowash every morning but my hair looks best after a fresh cowash and my curls are too tight to shake or finger pick.

The Eden Body Works curl creme and Eco argan gel. Hoping the gel will give me some hold so I can just spray to reactivate.

I bought he EBW and the Natural Hair Show for $5...should have gotten 3 or 4. Didn't know about the stuff at the time. I've got a new trick up my sleeve for my current styling regi... I have really been struggling to get soft defined curls, I might be on to something. What is your current length? When did you BC? Do you have a length goal? Sorry about the 3rd degree but I've been searching for my hair twin so that I can get some pointers...stalking YouTube, etc.

You like it that much? That makes me excited! Is the EBW your "new trick"?

I got a tapered haircut in April and now I have anywhere from 0.5 to 2 inches over my head. No length goal yet just trying to keep the scissors away this time. :) I've been natural 4 years now and love super short hair on me.
 
Here's my 2nd day hair wng. Dont mind my face, its my day off and I'm not doing NOTHIN today!!!



Excuse the size... I'm trying to resize it and its being a booger

My hair is still wet. I used gel because my hair wasn't acting right today. So far it feels OK. I'm using the blue fantasia IC gel and I'm hoping it doesn't end up crunchy.

Also where is whiteoleander91? I havent seen her posts lately.

Here's a second day wash & go (might be day 3)
I spritzed with water + suave conditioner, shook it out, then added KBB hair butter

Robot Cattypus1 We need a thread devoted to TWA's and those who are not striving for longer natural hair but just want to maintain and style their TWA's.......I am transitioning and once my natural hair gets to a place where I can cut my relaxer I will BC and rock a TWA with no desire to grow it out much.

I am all over youtube looking for TWA naturals getting tips etc from them but many eventually grow their hair longer and I have to move on and find someone new. :grin::grin:

My goal is a healthy head of natural hair but short and styled either straight at times or wash n go's, twist outs or whatever I can get on my short hair.

Go for it on the new thread, I'm sure there are lots of TWA naturals who love short hair...I'm just not one of them. I think my biggest problem is that I haven't really accepted that I have a TWA. Hopefully, this is temporary for me. I have never had long...even medium length unrelaxed hair, ever. I think this stage is taking me back to my childhood when my hair was always a problem for everyone including me and when I was afraid it wouldn't grow past my ears. I'm praying it really is just a stage. I wanted to see my length retention so I BC-ed at 10 months. I don't regret the chop because my transitioning hair looked terrible. I have this irrational fear that my curly hair is going to always be a fro. I hate that it's taking so long for me to know I'm making progress.
 
Ok so after reading through this thread last night and watching some you tube videos. I decided to attempt my first wash and go..... EPIC FAIL. I think for 2 reasons the 1st being that I need to bite the bullet and finally get rid of these relaxed ends. Iam not sure why it's so difficult. It's only about an inch of hair. Secondly, I don't think I liked my choice of leave in and styling gel. I used Kinky curly not today and Eco styler argan oil Gel. I need a creamier leave in perhaps next time and not such a hard gel. I guess it will be trial and error from this point. If you ladies have any suggestions I would love to hear them. I absolutely love this style and would love it to work for my hair. I won't bother to scare y'all with pictures from that disaster.

kinky curly is the worst. I remember the consistency of that to be similar to tar. I'm getting great WNG results with soaking wet hair, then oil, then Jane Carter's Curl define Cream and lastly a tiny bit of gel. I can also get away with leaving out the Oil and gel
 
Okay I bought a bunch of stuff to try.

Tonight I'm going to do a Cherry Lola Treatment followed by the Shea Moisture extra nourishing condish. My kimmaytube mix for a leave-in and Eco Styler custard to style.
 
Today's wash n go. I put half of it up. Too hot to have all that hair in my face.

I finally got my daughters wash n go right! For her fine but super dense hair I left a bit of conditioner on during the last rinse, doused with plenty of JBCO. Took her outside to "whip her hair back and forth". Then some drying time outside while reading a book. Perfection. Gels and extra creams do nothing for her. But simple rinse out conditioner and oil gives her hair plenty of hang time with little to no frizz.

My fro is super shrunken and the back where my hair is the shortest is PERFECTLY defined. I think I'm going to have to clip some ends. I still have a little frizz even after the treatment. I think I could've gotten better definition with another product. The Eco Styler cocktail doesn't seem to have the level of hold I like.

I did things a la Anthony Dickey. I think another combo of products would be better.
 
Hair's back to being as frizzy as it always is. *sigh* :ohwell:

I'll try a different combo of products tomorrow morning and an egg treatment later in the week.
 
Ok, what is this Anthony Dicky thing I keep hearing about?!

robot. I personally have no luck with gels. Even natural ones. For me they only work when I wont to really slick my edges down for a bun. But for a wng, nope. Took a while for me to figure out. Maybe you need a heavier leave in? Also it could just be the length. When I was growing from a buzz cut I hit a phase where product I already knew worked for my hair and had been working for years, still wasnt helping. And in all honesty I just ran around looking like I had a toddlers hair cut for a while until it started to cooperate again.

I just know that with me, weather and length play a huge roll in how a deal with my mop.

Anthony Dickey method is using a ton of products and applying to soaking wet hair. I don't necessarily think it his method as many people have been doing this for ever but people heard of him and "his method" through Taren Guy.

Eta- conditioners to cowash as well
