I have really thick hair so even though my hair is shoulder length I wind up looking like Hey Arnold with a curly fro. My hair had more length when I was using this Etsy vendors products, but I haven't had a chance to restock. So do you guys have any suggestions on lengthening my wash n go? I've tried pinneappling, blow drying my roots, and banding. The thickness of my hair has defeated it all. So any suggestions?

Cool challenge! How do you prevent single strand knots tho??

I know it's not fair to judge something on the first try, but I mixed all that crap, went through the steps, and I was not impressed
. I searched a little through the forums, and have decided to go with a super simple routine and product stash. I actually think that I might hit up the Suave again, because Captivating Curls and I had an amazing love affair going on

I transitioned about 14 months. I bc'd August 2 and I've done wash n goes almost 99% of the time. I have not had any ssk's. I wet my hair everyday and I only co wash. You can check up thread for what I use. I stick mainly products I can find locally. Some of the other ladies may have other tips. How do you wear your hair normally?

All loced up...
I actually did the whole thing yesterday myself. I don't really trust myself when I look at my hair. I can't say that I can tell what it's doing from time to time. I did the WNG yesterday and today I did a CoWash and DC and am currently in two-strand twists for a Twistout tomorrow. I can tell my hair is longer because I can use larger parts. It just shrinks so much that you can't tell when it's dry.

I wanted my wash and go from Saturday to last a little longer but I kept smelling barbeque smoke on myself so I had to wash today. I did my finger detangling method and snipped some tangling ends.

Yes girl there is no conditioner/detangler/moisturizer like suave coconut condish. And for $2.00 a liter, you can't beat it.

Yeeessssss!!!! I suck at keeping things simple consistently, hence my MHM experiment this weekend
. My hair does so much better when I wash, condition, gel and go about my business 
Suave Coconut conditioner was like the first condish I bought when I BC'd 7 years ago
!! Suave has some good stuff, and now I'm itching bad to try their newer lines. Now I'm going to have my butt at Walmart tomorrow!!! Thanks!!!!

Have you tried to wash n go? Have you had trouble with ssk's before? You should try it to see if you like it.

I went out and got me the big bottles of Suave Sleek shampoo and condish, and the Suave Max gel. I shampoo'd (went a little overboard) and my curls were poppin'!! I applied the condish and let it sit for a few minutes, and when I rinsed my hair felt soooo soft and smooth 
. I added a pump of condish as my leave-in, and added about a silver dollar amount of the gel. I have never used this Suave gel before, and I'm shocked at how well it defined my hair with such a small amount.
My hair is shinier and more defined than it was after going through the hoops of the MHM
. Once my hair gets longer, Imma stop being so lazy and start adding this gel in smaller sections

I've been wanting to try that gel for so long, but every time I'd pick it up, I'd put it back down lol. Thanks for the review!

Glad you had a good hair day! I almost purchased the Suave Max gel before...did it leave your hair crunchy?

The tresseme curl cream actually isnt bad but the gel sucks.

your braid in your avi!!!! your hair looks so pretty! I wish I could do that
I've thought about trying the curl cream, but I hate how tangled my hair gets when I use cream vs gel. Maybe I should revisit creams, it's been so long since the last time I tried using a cream styler

lol thanks. you could probably do a similar braid on your curly hair since you have more length
the cream is very light so it needs to be paired with something heavier. i paired it with a henna and ceramide conditioner that i bought. so far its drying well. i will post pics when its dry.
i love creamy stylers (that dont have aloe vera). I dont have an issue with tangles as long as i apply in small sections and dont just slap them on.

My hair has some serious muscles lol. A single braid would probably end up sticking out from my head like a tree branch
Thank you for the tips!! I'll keep that in mind the next time I try using curl cream.

whiteoleander91, my hair's still drying, but I did some spot tests on my dry hair, and I think that the Suave gel could leave your hair with a crispy cast if you don't use a leave-in. Personally, I don't mind the cast because it seals moisture into and out of my hair. My issue with gels is stickiness, and this gel isn't sticky at all
And you can definitely do a braid!! I could do one at your length, and my hair definitely went more out than down. If you do it on wet hair and use a ponytail holder, you'd be good to go . I remember trying to do a single braid (I could do 2 okay) with no ponytail holder, and it was like trying to wrangle the Incredible Hulk
Napp, I love your braid too!!! It's so shiny.

I will try doing it in the shower and see if it works out. It would be so nice to be able to put my hair in one braid and not think about it for a week! The longer my hair gets the less I want to deal with it!! Thanks for the info on the Suave gel! I'm such a PJ

I read through the thread where the OP had friends who were WL from shampooing and conditioning their hair daily, and that's going to be my reggie for the next 30 days. Suave Sleek is going to be my shampoo and condish, and the gel is going to be my sealant.
Y'all, I'm trying to get to SL and out of the TWA stage as fast as I can!!
whiteoleander91, the gel didn't dry crunchy at all. I actually woke with really soft, moisturized hair.

good luck with your braids. I hope to see you come back when you decide that braids aren't for you. Just kidding lol. Make sure you post pictures of your braids somewhere on board when you get them. I love looking at pictures of all hair. Don't be a stranger.

I'll still be lurking lol. Besides I can post wng of my hair between braids. Figure I'll get them done every 2 months. Let my hair breath for a week while I do protein treatments and DC. Then back up.
Not sure how long I'll stick with them. Havent had braids since I was a preteen
but I have to do something. My hair is killing me softlySent from my SPH-L300 using LHCF please ignore typos

Still using the cantu naturals line. I've add the cantu naturals cowash to my routine as well. I love the smell of this line. It doesn't dry sticky I was using design essentials and that left me with sticky hair. This the third time I've tried to send this post the app kept freezing when I was trying to attach pictures of today's wash n go. I will post pictures latter.
