For NATURALS who WASH N GO.....

Hi Girls,

I did a wash n go this weekend and my hair dried into this BIG fluffy mass of curls/waves and I just loved it. (i used cantu leave-in and mousse...yes, mousse)
Detangling in the shower was not even a major fiasco... I was wondering to myself why I ever stopped. I think I'll be working these into my braidout rotation this summer.

Naturals....

Do you wash n go?

YWhat's your length? Stretched / Unstretched?

What products do you use?

If you DO NOT Wash n go, Why Not?

Yes, I wash and go. I use HE Hydration, Hydralicious or Suave Humectant I do wash and go's because honestly i don't know how to style lol
 
Do you wash n go?
Yep! Every day!

What's your length? Stretched / Unstretched?
I am a little past BSL stretched. I am APL unstretched.

What products do you use?
I use v05 conditioners (any one) as a leave in and seal with coconut oil.

What's the final product like? is it fluffy and soft? is it big? does it shrink up a bunch?
Any pix?
 
Your wash n go looks great!!

Do you wash n go? Sometimes, mostly I protective style though.

What's your length? Stretched / Unstretched? Stretched it's SL, an inch or two from APL

What products do you use? KBB hair milk or Abba Nourishing under KCCC (sometimes an oil or burnt sugar pomade over it to cut the crunchiness)

If you DO NOT Wash n go, Why Not?

Several reasons:

PS is easier, especially with a 2 year old
My hair stays more moisturized in PS as opposed to wash n go's
I retain more length
Wash n go's encourage single strand knots (for me)

Same for me

Do you wash n go?
Sometimes. I prefer protectives styles over it though

What's your length? Stretched / Unstretched?
Err...past my bra strap?

What products do you use?
Curl junkie, kccc

If you DO NOT Wash n go, Why Not?
Well, I didn't before because of tangles and frizz, but I learned to use a diffuser so I don't have those issues anymore.
 
I wash n go on weekends or days off to give my hair a rest from pulling it back in buns. Plus I got insults(from black people) when I wore it "out" at work. My hair is past my shoulders when stretched, but shrinks up around my ears when dry.
I like to experiment and add clips or my girls' hair bows in the front or in the back. I put a few pics in my fotki of my last wash and go afro.
 
Do you wash n go?

Yes. Right now I do it everyday. I wear a puff because my shrunken fro looks like mullet right now (weird uneven length).

What's your length? Stretched / Unstretched?
Stretched, my hair ranges from barely nape length to a bit past APL. Unstretched, it's not really a length. Just a puff ball of hair.

What products do you use?
Water and castor oil.

I rinse my hair everyday. I add castor oil most days right out of the shower, wrap in a t-shirt to soak up extra water, and then unwrap when I'm finished getting dressed. Since I put a lot of castor oil (I can't help it, it's just so yummy) I usually skip putting it on 2-3 days out of the week.

If you DO NOT Wash n go, Why Not?

I shouldn't wash and go because:
1. Letting my hair shrink up encourages knots, though castor oil helps with that.

2. It makes me lazy and then I get into a rut where I don't feel like taking care of my hair. I also don't detangle when I do wash n go's which causes the shed hair to build up and cause tangles and knots.

3. Protective styles are better for retention.
 
Do you wash n go? yup

What's your length? Stretched / Unstretched? SL stretched/ NL unstretched

What products do you use? whatever conditioner that I cowashed with as a leave and seal with coconut oil.. experimenting with Giovanni direct leave in
 
Do you wash n go?
No. But I would like to.

What's your length? Stretched / Unstretched?
BSL/Shoulder

What products do you use?
None, at the moment

If you DO NOT Wash n go, Why Not?
In the past, the proucts I tried were CRAP! I am gonig to try some of these suggestions. I think I will start with the castor oil. I just bought some. My dry hair likes it alot. Good thread OP! BTW...LOVE the way your hair turned out, very pretty :yep:
 
Do you wash n go?
Mostly in the summer time with cowashing

What's your length? Stretched / Unstretched?
Shoulder length layered

What products do you use?
Cantu Leave In
KCCC

When I am 100% natural it was easy because it would coil so tightly the only thing I could do is tie it into a puff with Cantu Leave In.
While texlaxed it hangs so I use KCCC.
I am now about 75% natural so I will have to see when the weather gets warmer.
 
Do you wash n go? No

What's your length? Stretched / Unstretched? Between APL and almost BSL/neck length

What products do you use? Shea butter, Kids Organics Protein & Vitamin cream, no-poo with cheap Boots Essentials conditioner (58p!) DC with Lady Vitale Olive Oil

If you DO NOT Wash n go, Why Not? Too scared to, my hair is ultra coily and would tangle beyond belief. Tried it once when my hair was a bit shorter, not going there again in a hurry :lol:

What products do you use? Whatever conditioner I co-wash with. Lately Yes to Carrots and Long-term Relationship. Then I'll seal with just a bit of a styling product such as Curl Junkie, Curlz Milk Shake, etc.

If you DO NOT Wash n go, Why Not? I don't do it too often because I'm not completely comfortable with the short length of my hair, especially the uneven back layers. Once my hair grows out significantly to where I'm full SL un-stretched, I'm sure that I will wear Wash n Gos more often.
