Janet' Hunnay, you better take that compliment! It's true and you're such a pretty lady too!

I got a super cute and voluminous wash and go today using Knot Today, Curls Whipped Cream, and 100% Aloe Vera Gel. I love how soft and moisturized my hair is. I had a little bit more shrinkage but the back is still hanging past my shoulders so it's not bad.

Janet', I so owe you these! I finally remembered...I know you're probably saying, it's about time!

I'm 3c/4a but I don't have any wash-n-go pics, my hair would tangle like nobody's business--If I did a w-n-g it would last a day before I'd have to redo next day. I'd love to wear it that way if I could.

Same here. Now would a wet set twistout work? If so, then I'll be back with an image to post.

Ms_CoCo37: How do you do your WNG? What product do you use?

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

davisbr88, to minimize the detangling process, I wash my hair in sections (4 twists). As far as what I wash with, I like to use WEN or Hair One. If I need to clarify, I'll use KK Come Clean, or Trader Joe's Tea Tree shampoo.

However, for the above WnG, I prepoo'd with the Greek yogurt concoction:

When I hopped in the shower, I worked on one section at a time. First, I thoroughly rinsed the yogurt out. Then, I applied the Hair One and immediately rinsed it out. Next, I applied a little aloe vera juice and retwisted the section under running water. I repeated the same for the other three sections.

Once I got out of the shower, I applied Kimmaytube's Leave-in Conditioner recipe:

2 Tbsp Kinky Kurly Knot Today
2 Tbsp Whole Leaf Aloe Vera Juice
2 Tsp Jojoba oil
2 Tsp Castor oil

And that's pretty much it.

I came across this lady somehow--I think she's 4a/3c--and her hair is about waist-length curly!

As for myself, I'm like others upthread--hair so light and fine, my hair would have to be butt-length or beyond to appear even shoulder-length in its naturally curly state.
