Lol I definitely should have known better.

I've already fallen in love with that expensive gel. :nono:. I've been making my own flaxseed gel to layer underneath it so I use less Hello Curly. I'm not sure when I will do another pure Hello Curly wng, but when I do I'll try to remember to post pictures!!!
 
today's wash n go I left a little Shea moisture deep treatment masque while still in shower. Out the shower i applied a little curl enhancing smoothie (when will I ever learn this takes forever to dry! :rolleyes: ) and then I smoothed in some world of curls gel and eco styler on top. 3 hours later hair still damp. whiteoleander91 I think I'm gonna like this gel...let's see how it dries...

Yes I found it :yay: My hair is still slightly damp at the crown but omg! The softness throughout is crazy! :blush: I didnt even use the eco crystal that you use, I have the 32oz. olive oil so i just used that and normally no matter how much layering I do, that gel leaves my hair crunchy on first couple days. Well its verrry soft right now thanks to world of curls :drunk: Oh and I whether or not we are hair siblings my hair would love to grow up looking like yours! :yep:
 
AJellyCake thank you! Did your hair take an entire day and a half to dry with that method? I feel like this is the Andy Dickie method cause my hair took forever to dry and is still not dry! That curl enhancing smoothie is the culprit

aw thank you! I'm so glad your hair is drying soft. Activator gel was a game changer for me.

Yup, the center of my head stayyyyed damp. Not sure what to do about that. For me that leave-in worked really well. I like the KBB one too but it was way more expensive.
 
I just decided to use my shea moisture curling gel soufflé for the first time. I hate it so far. 1 I feel sticky like I need to take a shower (after I post this I will be showering) my face, shoulders and random spots on my arms are sticky. 2 I didn't like the way hair was turning out it seemed to weigh my hair down. 3 I ended up combing it out into a fro. Definitely was not the look I was going for. Ok I'm about to wash this out. I have concluded I do not like the curling enhancing smoothie or this.

any one interested in a fall/winter wash n go challenge?

I have been dreading winter for this very reason. I'm in the awkward stage and the only way I can not look crazy is to wash n go daily. My hair doesn't want me to sleep. :(. How do you do a wintertime wash n go?

Is it similar to their goddess curls? I've use goddess curls and creme brûlée.

It's thicker in consistency than goddess curls. I really like goddess curls too but the cashmere curl jelly gives a more defined finish and had my curls poppin like never before. This is my new #1 favorite styler.

Get up an hour early & invest in a table top hooded dryer. :look:

I wng the night before and in the am spritz my hair lightly and add more leave in. It usually works though I may have to mess with it depending on how hard I was sleeping. If you have a satin cap you can wear that to sleep. That would help preserve my wng so well, but I would get headaches if the elastic is too tight and if too loose it slips right off. Also maybe using a blow dryer with a diffuser? That used to help when my hair was longer and my wng was not preserved for the next day.

I suggest working on making your wng last longer lol. Seriously if I had to wng daily I would have to resort to something else cuz I just wouldn't.

If I could sleep with my head hanging off the bed or sleep sitting up my hair wouldn't look crazy but I might actually be crazy from lack of sleep. I have been struggling since I BC-ed in May to find a way to make it through one night's sleep and not have to WNG the next day. I sleep in a satin cap. I'm basically no poo, I DC regularly. My hair is in good shape and I don't have any problems except none of my styles last through sleeping. The struggle is real and shrinkage is the devil!

I really hope you find something. Trust me I know it's a lot of trial and error to get something to work. Have you tried to pineapple or a loc soc. I can preserve my hair well with both methods. Sometimes if my hair isn't holding up well I re moisturize and put it in a few chunky twists and that can refresh my whole style for quite a few more days.
 
naptural85 has a youtube vid on a winter friendly wash n go which is basically doing it the night before. I will try that since I really don't want to give this up :ohwell:

This is day 3. My hair is pillow soft :love2: I'm gonna hold on to this style until the wheels fall off :look:
