Since I'm already in the wng challenge, I decided to take the plunge into MHM. So far, I'm really impressed. I can see this method really helping my fall/winter wng life! Sent from my iPhone using LHCF
you'll definitely have to keep us posted on your results. I've been watching the thread regarding the MHM. I like the results everyone is getting but I do not have the patience or the time to complete all those steps.

I'll definitely be providing updates! I felt the same as far as time/patience. Just reading all those steps had my eyes rolling. But once I read about quick & easy detangling, minimal use of product, obedient curls etc. I figured it would pay off longterm. Time-wise, it definitely helps that some steps can be done overnight & others while multitasking around the house (it's basically a bunch of baggying). Today will be day 3 and it's getting easier already. I'm watching my hair transform into a new animal. It's kinda crazy. I see it as a 7day sacrifice that could change the rest of my natural hair journey. At least, that's what keeps me going! :lol: Sent from my iPhone using LHCF

Hmm I am double thinking the wash n go challenge vs setting to success. I really don't like wetting my hair daily especially in the cold. I can't find a reliable way to get multi hair day that looks good.

So you're just going to start this thread & dip out?? :lol:

Jk! Do what you must. You could also modify the rules to allow for styling breaks...

Here is my wash n go for today. I used curls goddess curls & creme brûlée. I beginning to not like having my hair parted on the side my grey is show to much. I think I'm going to experiment with not wearing part. Only thing is I've always worn a part on my right side even when I was relaxed. I think it may be permanent

I decided to go on with the challenge! My rollerset poofed up the minute i went out side. Then i remembered why i ended up relaxing a few years ago. I dont have time for that! I need to invest in a diffuser.

Napp glad you are going to continue. I got my diffuser from bss for I think $5.99. I don't diffuse very often. I'm so afraid of getting heat damage. Although I will probably start using it once it get chilly.

If it helps, I dry my wng's with a Ion Hooded dryer I got from Sally's. HTH!

I tried drying with my soft bonnet dryer and it keeps on ending up weird looking lol perhaps a hard hat dryer may be better but i just love the ease of my soft bonnet.

I bought a diffuser and some shea butter so i will try them out. I plan on trying the LCB moisturizing technique.

So I went to Walmart and ended up buying some new products. I got design essentials natural almond & avocado detangling leave-in conditioner and design essentials natural honey curlforming custard with honey and chamomile. I plan to use for my wash n go tomorrow. I will let you know how it turns out tomorrow. I know my mom uses some of their products but she doesn't wear her hair curly. Has anyone used any of design essentials products?

I may need to get a diffuser. I put my hair in an updo for the rest of week and today I realized the inside is still damp from this weekend! My hair takes forever to dry (low porosity).

I've been doing wng's this past week. To "refreshen" the curls I wet my hair. However, every morning I have to use my hair dryer (salon type, hard shell); indirect heat. I use the dryer for about 5-10min

Do yall think it's ok? Will that damage the hair, using too much indirect heat?

I tried my soft bonnet dryer first and it just messed up my hard work, so I went and purchased a hard bonnet dryer.

I think as long as you're not using high heat & the air is distributed evenly, you should be fine. Heat damage caused by dryers usually needs to involve some tension. Just keep a close eye. At worst, your hair will probably feel a bit more "thirsty".

This week's WNG. My curls on top got smashed and are a little limp. Got to deal with it until Sunday. I wish I had uniform curls. As my hair grows out, the different patterns are more noticeable.
