Fall/Winter Wash n go challenge

Obviously this isn't a wash n go lol but hopefully the layers my stylist added today will yield this result when curly in a few months.

looks good. I've been thinking that I need a better shape, but I really don't want to cut. I was traumatized enough by my BC in August.
 
I did a twist out this week instead of my usual wash and go. Goes to show how crazy my shrinkage is. My wash and go looks like a twa. If a stretch a twist it almost reaches the base of my neck.

Pro: My hair is very moisturized like it used to be before I cut it so much so I don't need to moisturize twice a day

Con: I don't like how it looks in the front. So no picture of the twist unraveled lol.

Now the mystery: How is it that my twist out is so moisturized barely needing anything but my wash and go needs moisture pretty much 2x a day?

If I go too long without trimming my hair gets bad bad ssks and splits so reshaping trimming and all of that rarely if ever bothers me anymore. Every 3 to 4 months I'm in the chair. I still see significant length progress if not more than someone who refuses to trim at all. I would trim myself but I'm not about that life :lol:

I think it's because all of your hair isn't exposed and it's clumped together and smooth when in twists so it locks in that moisture while its setting, similar to a rollerset.
 
Welp ladies, I enjoyed wearing my hair in wash n go's all Fall. This challenge was certainly good for my hair, but now that it is winter I am going to use heat. This is the ONLY time of year that I can wear my hair straight in Florida, so I am gonna take advantage. I started a personal winter heat challenge by straightening my hair this past Friday. Enjoy the rest of the challenge, I will be lurking. I know I cannot say I straightened my hair and not show any pics, so:

BillsBackerz67 I love how silky your hair looks when pressed. Lovely cut!

oneastrocurlie You have a lot of hair! Shrinkage can definitely be deceptive!

I think the WNG and rollerset both came out great.

OMG, I think we are hair twins! My coils look exactly like your. Your hair is beautiful. I can't wait for mine to grow out.
 
Yes! The S curls at so annoying. Can't put too much product on that section or it will look really weighed down.

I have them at the front and crown of my head. It looks like I have heat damage because those curls at so much looser than the rest but I've never used heat on my natural hair.
 
Merry Christmas ladies!
For those who celebrate it anyways.

Hope you all have a wonderful day.
 
My Christmas wash and go!

I hope all of you had a safe and happy Christmas!
 
I did my WNG today with a product that I thought I would hate, but I was pleasantly surprised by the fluffy and curly results.

I used SM JBCO leave in and Jane Carter Curl Defining Creme. The JC was part of my stash forever and I never used it because I had mediocre results with some of her other products.

I tried KCCC like the directions said on soaking wet hair. I see why its elongated. The weight of the water and product keeps the hair heavy. If I was air drying it would take forever because of that. Usually I shake the excess water out and my S curls turn to coily curls and shrink closer to my head.

I'm sitting under my hooded dryer though because I'm off and have nowhere to be.

This thread is making me want to do a wash and go! I haven't done one in a few months now because my go to style has been in two pigtails (like in my siggy and avi) because it's just so quick and easy and can last me a whole week without having to be redone. Plus, it shows my length. But I think I'm gonna do a wash and go one of these days.
