Type 4 Wash n Go Success!
Yesterday, I was able to fully define my 4c hair! Pics you say:
Before you say, that's great and all, but you are not 4c *side eye*, this is what my hair usually looks like in a wash n go:
I have tried Fantasica IC Gel, Eco Styler Gel, and more, but it wasn't until I tried globs of leave-in conditioner with Xtreme Wetline gel and Garnier Pure Clean Gel that I was able to define my hair.
I took the pile on moisturizing products advice from Dickey by applying thick amounts of Oyin Honey Hemp Conditioner to sections of my hair before applying the Wetline gel. I then separated the coils in that section while reapplying gel to the roots of each coil/wave. Once defined I went back and put the Pure Clean Gel on top and moved on to the next section.
I sat under my hooded dryer for 30 minutes and then let my hair air dry the rest of the way. I pineappled overnight and have second day hair! The funny thing is this was to be my very last attempt at a wash and go. I refused to spend any more time or money on trying to achieve wash and wear hair on my hair type, and Voila! Success! Anyways, just sharing.
I plan to see how long this will last and then try it again with a different leave-in to see if it matters.
ETA: 2nd Day Hair, fully air dried and shrunken

4C is more like an undefined cloud.
