Wow!I love seeing all of the wash n gos images everybody's posting. Therefore, I never been great at wash n gos and recently started wearing it since entering my awkward stage. I think I tried it once when I big chopped. It looked like a hot mess!
Anyways, I have tried using Cantu Coconut Curling Cream with Eco Styler Olive Oil, Beautiful Textures Curl Control Defining Pudding & Curl Definer Styling Custard and Eden Bodyworks Natural Curl Defining Creme & Eco Style Black Castor & Flaxseed Oil gel. In addition, I always seal with my oil mix before using the gels and or custards. I never liked how flat my hair looked and the crunch and or stiffness (cast) of how my how felt. IDK?--Maybe I used too much products? I am thinking about trying the As I Am Curling Jelly. Here's a few images starting from a little after I big chopped and presently:

I think you are my Curl twin!
This is day four of my wash n go. I like mine a little flatter since I have to wear a cover.
This thing won't quote correctly (most likely user error). I was trying to quote your picture and say that I think you are my Curl twin.

Roll call!
Consideration of long-term effects (such as dryness, etc.) aside, what's your favorite product combination for a fabulous-looking wash and go?

So far my favorite wash and go results/look came from a professional using:
- DevaCurl Decadence One Condition as a leave-in
- Uncle Funky's Daughter's Curly Magic gel as Styler
- Soultanicals Fluffalicious as a leave-in
- Flaxseed and Castor Oil Eco Styler as styler

I think I have finally figured out how to have a wash n go with movement. I've made 4 changes and I'm not sure which is most important, but I'm going to keep doing all 4
- stopped ending my wash day with an ACV rinse. I think this was closing my cuticles and preventing my hair from absorbing my leave in. Plus this simplifies wash day.
- apply my products on SOAKING wet hair
- I'm more liberal with my use of leave in and gel
- air dry in ponytails. I think having my hair "bunched" makes it dry more slowly and retain more moisture. I used to see that when I let my hair dry in braids it retained more moisture.
With my current results I'm almost to the point where I may wear my wash n go out at work instead of in a ponytail. I just need to figure out how to stretch the back a bit more so it doesn't look like a reverse mullet.

My hair is kind of frizzy today but I am working with it. I ran out of my deva curl conditiner and I think the one I used doesn't hold the curl as much. Also I did a twist out the other day and it literally looked ike most of my wash n gos so it's safe to say I have retired the twist out for now.

Yay!
What kind of ponytails? How many, and placed where on the head? I've forgotten: And you are air drying overnight, correct?

I dry during the day. It's just 2 low ponytails so I don't completely look like a 6 year old.
Are you still into wash n gos or have you moved on to be a straight hair natural?

Thanks! I love it.
IDK yet: I don't know if my hair reverts with this straightening process, but so far it's been great. I am still exploring setting and braiding and maintaining my straightened hair. I know that regardless, there will be some days/weeks when I don't get to straighten.

Winning combo is:
KKNT
TRUE Hydrating Butter
Oil concoction (Curly Proverbs)
4 Naturals Curly Wave Serum
I use these products on wet hair after washday is complete. At night, I pineapple my hair in three sections. In the morning, I spritz my hair with Aloe Vera and fluff.

I don't thinkk I have a favourite combination yet. I hate having a ton of products so I will try and make stuff work until it's finished if it's not terrible.
I can say I love the deva curl no poo and the deva curl conditioner. I love the chi keratin shampoo to clarify. I like the eco styler gel when I am not trying to shingle. My deva curl conditioner is done and I am going to repurchase. my eco styler is almost done and I think i will try Camilla Rose next.

Last night, I did a clarifying treatment with bentonite clay and ACV. Let it sat on my hair for 60mins. Then, I rinse it out with warm water and did a deep conditioner (I also let it stayed on my hair for 60 mins). I mixed 2 tbsp of Eco Styler olive oil, 2 tbsp of Beautiful Texture Curl Defining Custard and 1 cup of Xtreme wetline gel together. Rinse the conditioner out in cold water, apply KCKT and oil in sections as well as mixed gel. My hair is not too crunchy. I still have some bounce. YAY!

Thank you. I do not care for it either along with Eco styler gels. I just do not like to waste money on products, so I mixed it with the wetline (for experiment). I never thought it would blend well, but it did...lol I think I will keep doing it until it is all gone (Eco Styler gel and beautiful texture custard).
So did a wng yesterday after having my hair straight for 2.5 weeks. I think it came out okay but wasn't ready for the shrinkage. Not sure yet how often I will do these as it takes a while for my hair to dry. I may try a few more till winter sets in and it's too cold to go outside with wet hair. Question what are you ladies doing to your hair at night to preserve? Pineapples don't work for me, any other suggestions? By the way how are you all getting pictures to post?

I'm about to do a wash and go. I'm kinda planning it as I type after having just watched several videos on this site (the Glam Twins Denman wng, the oil and gel wng, etc.).
- Moisten hair in shower, leaving DC in hair for detangling purposes
- Detangle thoroughly with KareCo Tangle Buster brush; during the process, section hair into 6ths using 6 Goody Updo barrettes
- Rinse out DC completely, with cool/cold water
- OCG (oil, cream, gel): DIY CurlyProverbz oil, Soultanicals Fluffalicious moisturizer, Eco Styler Flaxseed and Black Castor Oil Gel
- Method: Glam Twins Denman method using my Felicia Leatherwood knock-off (my Denman is modified)
- Drying and stretching method: @GettingKinky's ponytail method of air drying

Day 6 hair. I’m back in the gym and I’m not sure if I’ll keep doing wash and go’s since I sweat a lot. My nape is completely puffed out now but somewhat hidden by the rest of my hair.

So far my sole winning combo is Wetline Extreme with either Garnier curl butter or KCKT. I may have to try mixing eco with the Wetline, like @NatrulyMe said, to use it up. I have a lot of Eco that I tried and hated. Haven’t found one that I like yet.
@Daina I band my hair in five or six sections using double fold elastic. Keeps my hair stretched and easy to fluff in the morning.

Good Morning.
Pineapples don't work for me either. I preserve my wash n go style by putting my hair in 5-6 mini puffs with 11-12 elastic hair scrunchies. I part a section with my fingers, put it in a mini puff with the holder (scrunchy) add another one to band the ends. Then, placed my bonnet on and go to bed. Here's a video on wash n go w/Banding Method:
