Wash N Go Thread

[faithVA]

I love this thread, i drool over the hair in here.

Here's my wash n go using Eco styler olive oil and SM raw shea butter detangler. This combo seem to do the best for my coils, also no white build up at all.

Very pretty. Great definition and shine.

I like hanging out in here

I use the Knot Today with it and I only use about a quarter sized amount of the custard throughout out my hair. It's sticky at first but the feeling goes away once I shake my hair out and diffuse it. It took me awhile to figure out what worked best for my hair. The custard is known to be a tricky product to master.

I have accidentally used too much before and ended up with sticky hair. It also flakes when I use too much. A little goes a long way.

I need help yall and I dont feel like making a new thread for it.

My hair is thinning. I dont know why. I dont know if its age, hormones, stress, or what. But today when I took down my pineapple I realized just how thin its gotten. I took a pic of the top of my head and seriously there is so much scalp I almost cried right there.

I havent noticed any unusual amount shedding in my comb, but since I dont detangle every day then who knows. I have had extra stress on my plate lately and my diet is not the best right now (trying to get back on track with that). But in the past my diet has been way worse and I have had more stress.

At this point I dont care whats causing the thinning I just want it to STOP!!! What can I use to thicken up my hair?! I know castor oil is the main "go to" to thicken up hair, however that's been in my reggie for some years now, soooooo, below is my reggie

Wash with poo when ever my scalp tells me (right now using Clear brand poo in the purple bottle but usually I use HS of some sort)
Cond with Aussie Moist
I use Aussie Moist diluted with water as a leave in and mah grease (raw shea butter, evco, co, evoo, eo and just recently I started mixing in Doo Gro Medicated Hair Vitalizer Mega Thick to mah grease when I first started to REALLY notice the thinning), and then I top it off with my oil mix (ecvo, evoo, co, and eo) when needed.

I'm going to start taking prenatals again and other than that I dont really know what else to do.

Awe Mo not sure what's causing it. Have you made an appointment to see a specialist? Maybe there's some underlying cause besides age. I hope you figure it out hun.

You mentioned prenatals. Did you just have a baby? Could it be post-partum shedding?

How long have you been using your grease?

Lol, I don't think there is a person on this earth who hasn't tried Kinky Curly and didn't end up with sticky hair at least once. You're right, a little definitely goes a long way, which helps make up for the price a bit. I've never had it flake in my hair before.

 

[Karmi]

I LOVE YOUR HAIR!!!! You have the perfect curls!

I sooo wish that was true Lol! She behaves now and then.

dove has a nourish styling mousse and its soft with a great scent

did a wash n go with wen..added some grape seed oil then the dove nourish styling mousse--hair smells great and my curls are softtt..
i think a setting lotion of sorts or a soft mousse is something to consider for definition

I wish... Then I'd know there'd be an end to it.

No I just have been taking them off and on since forever and a day. My friend got prego when we were 19 and she couldnt keep down her prenatals and my nails started breaking for no reason so I took them... then just kept doing it lol

Nice! I remember tresseme used to have one that was ok but then it started drying my hair out. But that was forever ago

Only thing my doc could think of was to check my thyroid and its normal. Which is shocking since that thing is broken in half of my family members lol

 

[Mz.MoMo5235]

How long have you been using your grease?

And I've started using my grease again about 3wks ago cause the air where I moved to is so dry. Before I've used it every winter since I figured out where to buy shea butter.

I just recently added the doo gro to it though. I bought the doo gro to see if it would stop the thinning but my scalp couldn't handle the grease (made me wash my hair more often) so I melted some down to mix with my my shea... so as not to waste and to see if I can see any benifit from it.

I've decided to blame India for my hair thinning! India is going to be the death of me even though I've been back for 2 years!

I don't know the cause of your thinning issues. I hope it is just the result of stress and will correct itself.

I had serious issues in the crown. Detoxing weekly with a mudwash and more frequent washing (using water on my scalp) helped to correct it. My scalp was severely dehydrated. I really don't think that is your issue. But maybe the mud detox may help.

Both are a good idea actually. I dont water rinse as much as I used to. And in all honestly my whole body probably needs a detox

Eta: the thinning seems to be in the crown mainly as well.

 

[faithVA]

^^It definitely doesn't hurt. The additional water each week helped the most and the mudwash was the runner up. I tried all the oils which helped some but it seemed like the more frequent water is what was missing to make the other things more effective.

It makes sense. Water is the base of our making

I usually shower without a shower cap, which also helps. Even if I don't soak my whole head, my hair gets the benefit of the steam and occasional water droplets

Exactly! Proper water intake does wonders for the hair and the rest of the body!

I do the same as well. I also mist my hair in the morning with my spray bottle.

Mz.MoMo5235 I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with hair thinning. My mom is going through the same thing, although we know it's the result of lupus (not the systemic kind). The hair thinning might be a combination of things (stress, age, environment). Have you seen a dermatologist or trichologist? They'll probably check something other than your thyroid.

Yes, I do this as well. But maybe my scalp needs more hands on time with water *kanye shrug*

That's my next step. I got the thyroid results earlier this week and have a referral to a dermatologist (didnt know there were hair doctors besides the ones that work for those bald men clubs on tv). Well see What she says cause my doc seems to think its nothing and that I'm over analysing it.

 

[Mz.MoMo5235]

So I cut some hair off today. Posting some pix but again my photobucket is being a jerk so back to shrink them a bit more

I have a thyroid condition that doesn't show up in blood tests (with one exception) and have problems with thinning at least since I was a teenager. If things don't improve, you may want to persist on the thyroid angle. Good luck!

Thanks for that heads up. It seems thyroid issues run in the family so I thought that was it but everything came back normal.

What tests do you have done?

What tests do you have done?

I've had normal blood tests (like you'd get for an annual physical), a more sensitive blood test, an ultrasound of my thyroid and radioactive iodine uptake test, which was how I got the final diagnosis of hashimoto's thyroiditis. If my thyroid levels hadn't randomly showed up in the first blood test, I'd still be undiagnosed. The more sensitive blood test came back normal, as did the ultrasound of my thyroid.

My perfect wash n go happened today and this is what I did.


I dc'd overnight with a cheapy conditioner, Suave Coconut to be exact
Washed it out and left a little condish in my hair. Then I applied a little Jane Carter curl define cream and lastly I used a generous amount of Grapeseed Oil
and let dry, mostly with a blow dryer on cool.

The softest, most defined wash n go ever. My curls are popping all over the place. No more gels I will ever use again. The DC really made a huge difference. I think I've found my staple way of doing my wngs now.

 

[Angelbean]

I just did a 'mini series of wash n gos while on vacation this past week and it was awesome first time doing wng's and now I am in love! All I did was cowash and apply a little leave in a and grapeseed oil and my curls were lovely
