Here is the combination of products that work perfectly for my shake and go:
1) Pantene S&S or Elucence MB Conditioner
2) Elasta QP Glaze Conditioning Shining Gel
3) Tresemme Curl Care Curling Mousse
4) Ampro Clear Ice Styling Gel
5) Large shower comb
6) Large towel
Here's what I do:
1) I start by CO washing my hair in the shower. I apply A LOT of conditioner, let it sit while I shower, and my last step is to comb through my hair with a large shower comb while the water is running through it. I try not to wash out all the conditioner, and make sure my hair is SOPPING wet when I get out of the shower (this helps with curl definition).
2) The next step is the apply the Elasta QP gel. I dry off, and hang my sopping head down on a towel that I've already placed on the floor of my bathroom. I first dry my hands on the towel (Shine gel is hard to scoop with wet ands), get a big glob of gel, and with my head still sopping and hanging down, I squeeze in the gel in a accordian-like scrunching manner, making sure to apply it from to tip while my head is upside down. I make sure to do this for to the back, middle, and front part of my hair, b/c the shining gel helps provide the moisture for this style so the curls don't dry out.
3) Next, I apply the curling mousse. With my head still down, I squeeze out a huge puff of mousse, and apply to my hair in the same accordian-like manner as the shining gel. At this point, my hair is saturated with mousse, and appears white all over. The mouse helps to define my curls.
4) The last thing I apply is the Ampro Ice. Head still down, I scoop out just a palmful of the ampro, rub it together, and squeeze it on the
ends only! This helps to stick the ends of my curls together, which can get very frizzy if they start to unravel.
5) My very last step is the pick up the towel that was on the floor, and start squeezing out the excess product with it. At this point I have stood up, but I'm leaning my head to one side or the other as I use the towel to remove the excess product in the same accordian like srucnhing manner that I applied everything. The last thing I do is shake my head from side to side and go!
This process produces the best curls I've ever had, and it's not time consuming at all! My post is very detailed, but the whole process once I'm out of the shower takes about 5-10 minutes! The result is a nice defined shake and go, pictured in my avatar. HTH
I will try this. I co-wash daily then to dripping wet hair I apply Miss jessies curl pudding, s -curl or carefree, then mousse I love wngs just don't know what I am going to do in the winter?

! I checked out your fotki and attempted my first wash n go. Although mine came out too curly and frizzy - I sat under a dryer on cool for a few minutes and scrunched too much- I was surprised that I could actually get my hair to dry quickly while still looking okay despite being severely style challenged. I'm going to try again tonight and see how it goes, minus the excessive scrunching and the dryer.
