I just recently started doing wash n go's and I'm having an issue with the crown of my hair. It shrinks up more then the rest of my hair, so it looks funny. Any suggestions?

you may have to try some stretching techniques once your hair is completely dry. What are you doing to achieve your wash n
go? I personally get different looks with different techniques (ie: shingling, denman brush, praying hands, twirling etc). Upload some pics of your hair and that may be helpful in getting suggestions.

I'm having a similar issue: my nape is so much looser than the rest of my hair that it looks, like, at least two inches longer. Nothing I do to that area will make it tighter, it's a mess. To attain a semblance of a 'style' :rolleyes:, I'm forced to airdry with, like, 10 of those little silver clips scattered throughout my hair. I'm looking like Pinhead in here. :nono: My only solution is to get my hair shaped, taking all these oddities into account. I refuse to live like this. #melodramaonfleek :lol:

image.jpg Why did decide to wash my hair tonight after the gym. I maybe wasting a perfectly good wash n go. It's not dry and I'm pass ready to lie down. I cowashed with as I am coconut cowash and used as I am detangling conditioner as my leave in and as I am curling jelly as my styler. I used my fingers to rake the jelly through each section I had four sections that I broke down into smaller sections I did not twirl until I finished my whole and when I did twirl I did bigger sections than I normally do. It did not take very long doing it this way. I like the way my bang area turned out.

Yes your bangs look wonderful. :up:

My wash n go this morning was similar to yesterdays product wise except I used As I Am curling jelly as my styler and again used the tangle teezer to help get my "curl". My curls are popping so my tangle teezer is a big hit. No pics today as my hair looks the same as yesterday. :)

I use the tangle teezer the same way this brush is used.

Here is how it looks this morning. I did put my loc soc on eventually and I just let the steam from shower loosen up my curls from being smooshed and let it get wet just a little and shook my head like a rockstar :toocool:

I plan on washing with SE shampoo cream, and rinse with tresemme naturals conditioner. I use Kids organic Shea butter lotion, then ecostyler gel. Spray some SM shine and hold and be set! I just run my fingers through my hair and brush the sides. I have no hair to shake! Lol
You'll have some soon as long as you don't spontaneously cut again. :brucelee:

Pics of today's wng. I used cantu curling custard.

@stephanie75miller , u were right. It was the mixture of my leave in and the custard causing the flakes. This time i used aphogee pro-vitamin leavein instead of a creamy leavein. So hopefully I've found a good combo, cause I really like the custard. It dries faster than gel. We'll see if I can get 2nd day.hair w/o flakes.

Shea Yogurt + Wetline Xtreme + Suave Gel Serum. Straightened my hair a few days ago and I missed my curls! Sorta messy, this is how I usually wear my hair to bed. The hair tie is actually a headband. I've been having a lot of headaches lately and hair ties are currently the bane of my existence. The gel serum is really nice, gives me lots of shine and smells great. I applied it last (on top of the gel).

Todays wash n go...same just a different styler...wetline extreme....so so far my hair does well with various gel stylers.......I may try creamy ones this weekend.

I bought a similar tangle teezer like this from TJ Maxx yesterday......works wonders.

Lol. That's why you shouldn't disappear. I'm so happy it growing. :missu:

LOL, you got me on that one. I was dealing with some stuff and my hair was the last thing on my mind. I had no energy for battling with these WnG's.

I did try one today with the IC Fantasia gel. Its my new love.....much less shrinkage than the Ecostyler, and not too much crunch.

image.jpg My hair with curl maker. The humidity has really has been proofing my hair as usual. Anyone else have that problem?

I don't mind a little poof but in really humid weather my hair just gets destroyed. I swore last year that I was putting twists in this summer cuz I was just so frustrated.

I used As I Am Curling Jelly this morning with a lighter hand....My hair has been looking good no flakes but very hard so I think I was too heavy handed with my product so I used less this morning and my hair does not feel hard to the touch.

This has become my favorite thread. :)

This will be my first full summer with natural hair. So far the warmer humid weather has not caused me any increase in frizz. I think it has a lot to do with my products. Especially the as I am curling jelly.
