How I keep my wash n' go fresh for days....

I've been asked often how I keep my wash n' go's looking good for so many days w/o re-washing. I can usually keep them for 3 or 4 days w/o having to rinse or co-wash or anything if I don't want to. I have figured out a way to sleep with a wash n' go w/o messing it up or getting it tangled. I just shake out the curls in the morning and go. I've put together some pics trying to demonstrate this process so hopefully this will be clear and can help someone out.

This is fantastic!!! I had almost given up on wash n' go's because it I didn't refresh by seriously wetting it the next day, it'll be tangled and just crazy-looking. This is a great ideal. I have the same wrap scarf that you use, and the next time I do a wash n go, I'm going to try your technique. Thank you!

Thanks for the pics and tips.
Question you sleep with the tail of the scarf down or tucked?

TIA

Sure. Yes, the tail is hanging down. I don't tuck it under because I don't want to cause an un-natural bend to the curls.


Thanks honeycomb!

I wonder how this works for twas.:ohwell: Can I try it too?

Sure you can try it but I'm guessing it will be a somewhat different procedure. You probably wouldn't need the clips to pin back the hair and the part where I close the hair into the scarf I don't think your hair would be long enough to do that but I definitely think you could re-set the curls at night like I explained in my fotki then cover with a scarf or bonnet.
