@discodumpling Yea it does. My wng has lasted so well in this humidity. No other product has done this. I attribute this to the curl keeper gel since it states it for humidity. And the SM JBCO is the styling lotion.

I do. If I can get my hair to last a week I consider it a protective style and low manipulation because I don't have to do anything to my hair for that week but shake it out.

First 2 pics are the same wng I did up thread with Curl Keeper. It's holding up EXTREMELY well. I am way too excited. I can't get my other pics to upload for some reason. I wish it were easier to upload here. I get annoyed with it.
Never mind they did upload but didn't show until I posted. Still annoying though lol.

Thank you. Honestly I wasn't expecting much from this sample of gel I had so on a whim I just did a quick co wash with tresseme undone then applied the SM JBCO styler to wet hair in sections and topped with a small amount of Curl Keeper gel and air dried. I'm praying it's not a fluke cuz that product is working a miracle to me right now. I always have such a hard time keeping my hair nice in the humidity.

I was pineappling and it worked fine but I started seeing some breakage at the bang area so I'm trying something different thinking it may have been the pineapple even though I do it very loose. Now I'm using one of those loc tube's and I direct it upwards so my hair is still on top of my head but has no creases from a hair band then I cover everything with a bonnet. I'll include a pic one day if anyone is interested.

For the longest time, I was sleeping with mine loose but covered with a silk scarf.
Lately (these past two weeks) I've been sectioning off the loose part of my hair, as if to put it in a low pony tail, but I put one claw clip at my nape and another on the length, and then tie with a silk scarf. I find the clips don't make harsh indentations on my hair like bands, and they keep my hair better stretched throughout the week.

Yea, I do a loose ponytail and then place a satin bonnet over my hair. Pineappling does not work for me at all!!!

@Pokahontas, I just accidentally purchased a styler that may be best for fall/winter months. That's giving me interest in the process you used for your latest wash-n-go.
I know you said you used the SM JBCO leave-in and Curl Keeper gel, right?
What were each of your steps and products at each step? What was your technique? What are your hair details (porosity, strand thinness/thickness, whether hair is high or low density per square inch of scalp, and curl pattern).
If you don't have time to share/recap all that, no worries, I totally understand.

I think what I'm going to do is keep with my wng's, but not wear the wng down so often. Maybe like one to two days a week. Right now I have my wng in a twisted bun in the back with curly bangs. I really like the way it looks.
The consensus regarding if a wng is a protective style is mixed. I have been having some serious issues with knots on my ends, but I really believe it's my detangling process. We'll see at my next wash day.

I'm just chilling at home and I usually wrap my hair up so here's a few pics of how I preserve my hair for bed. Don't laugh now lol
I just pull the soc upwards so I don't smush my hair when I lay down then I tuck the ends down and cover with a bonnet.....which looks crazy on my lol

So glad you like the way your twisted bun looks! Can't wait until I have enough length for stuff like that!
I read your hair details in your siggy, and I think can be difficult to fully detangle hair with those deets! (They are similar to my hair deets). I just created a detangling thread for 2016 and added my short and long detangling process. What's your process? If you have the time and are so inclined, please feel free to share at that thread.

Oh no problem. I used the SM JBCO Styling Lotion (the leave in is a bit heavy for me) and yes the Curl Keeper gel.@Pokahontas, I just accidentally purchased a styler that may be best for fall/winter months. That's giving me interest in the process you used for your latest wash-n-go.

If you don't have time to share/recap all that, no worries, I totally understand.
I sectioned my damp hair (not soaking wet but pretty damp) into about 5 sections. I work on 1 section at a time so on each section I put about a quarter size amount of the styler using the prayer hands method then applied the gel by prayer hands then shingling a little bit and I twirled the ends that I shingled into a cute little curl ( just something I like to do). When I was done all sections I scrunched and air dried. When it was fully dry I separated and fluffed for volume.
I have low porosity hair, 3b/c curl pattern, very fine texture, I think my density would be medium I guess. I don't consider it thick. HTH and I'm happy to answer any other questions.

Yes @YvetteWithJoy thats them.
I just realized I haven't even had to remoisturize or anything. Normally my hair would be dried out.
