I have this gel. I tried out I think back in the winter or spring. I didn't notice any extra elongation as promised on the jar. I will do a search and see if I posted about my experience.

Vacation is when I get my long hair fix usually anyway. I don't wear weave so when I get braids for vacation I always get pretty long. I call it my beach hair. I will probably go with large twist.

@stephanie75miller , I REALLY like the med size twist. I think that's gonna be my next protective style.

If I could take full size products I'd do WNGs. If I was catching a flight and was limited to smaller bottles in a carry-on, then I think I'd do braids.

I'm debating the same thing for my daughter and me. I want braids, but won't have time for the take down when I get back.

I'm still here doing wng's. Not adventurous enough to try anything else. I traded my SM curl enhancing products for curl enhancing gel and I'm liking the results. I also tried to color my hair last weekend but didn't get my hair as light as I wanted it. I'm waiting until the end of summer and then I'll try again.
I'm stilling trying to find the right daily spray. Right now I'm tinkering around with some DIY recipes. I have some oils, some EOs, glycerine and aloe vera juice, and I'm trying to come up with the winning combination.

Wash n go using Naturelle Grow Plantain Leave in and SSM gel. My hair still hates NG. It totally dries out my hair as if it has coconut oil. My curls look okay because I used a denman to detangle (overly defines my curls) but I've had to moisturize my crown every day which is unusual. Can't rewash until Thursday. My pjism keeps getting me in trouble.

Lol I know what you mean. I have found some great products that I know work, and I should be content with them. However I find myself self still buying random products that I probably don't need and probably won't work for me.View attachment 331717 View attachment 331719 Wash n go using Naturelle Grow Plantain Leave in and SSM gel.

I agree with the pjism!
Went to New Orleans natural hair expo & had a blast. Bought so many new products to try on my wash & gos. Yesterday I shampooed with taliah waajid curly shampoo. I then detangled with their great detangler and left it in as my leave in. My hair still smells good and is so soft. The pic below is second day hair. I had a lot of body/movement but a lot of shrinkage as well.

I am still straight it is easier for me at the moment being out of school for the summer I can just jump up wash my face brush teeth and do work around the house (repairs, remodel, cleaning etc etc) and still look presentable if someone comes to the door or I have to run out for an errand....plus if I need to get somewhere quickly in the morning I just jump in and out of the shower because I don't have time to fool with the WnG since I have not mastered 2nd or even 3rd day hair

I want a love button option. Your curls are everything. I'm with you on the PJism....I know what works so why do I keep trying other stuff? I need to get my behind in one of those use your stash challenges and stop playing! But I have to say I LOVE Naturelle Grow....I try not to get too heavy into products I can't find on the ground so I stick to just trying all kinds of DC's.

Your hair is absolutely gorgeous. My head is so sensitive that I can't take braids/twists etc. But I'm really feeling this hair on you!

I wish I could get the NG marshmallow (and something) protein free DC over here. I really want to try this DC as I'm yet to find a good moisturising DC (without cones).
Anyway, I'm still here too. I washed my hair yesterday and dusted.
I've been washing my hair about twice a week but I am getting a little bored of seeing my problem patches all the time. I'm considering using some henna and hibiscus. I've also been thinking about putting it away for a little while...waiting on my wig.

I'm still doing my wash n gos. I just did a 50/50 with Kinky Curly on one side and As I Am on the other side. The Kinky Curly kept my hair more elongated and looked better, but it was sticky when I rewet for second day hair.

I've been doing lots of wng's but I'm frustrated with my hair and trying to get the look I want. If I luck up and get it the humidity destroys it. The Eden's Body Works still works as far as humidity but for some reason I stopped getting the curls I wanted. Been thinking of doing Marley twists for a break.

That KCCC is just magic for elongation. It is by far, my favourite gel. I glob some into an empty container and dilute it heavily with water. This way, it dries a little faster and is not so sticky.

You making me wanna try it again.
I've been avoiding it while I get my wng technique right, didn't want to waste it.

Have you clarified recently and or done a protein treatment?

I know what you mean. That stuff isn't cheap! But using it diluted gives me my best wash and goes. So that helps a little with the cost

Yes I keep up with those pretty well. I only clarify with a regular sulfate shampoo and I've been wondering if that's enough or if I need a real clarifying shampoo?

Thanks for the tip on adding water. I buy it during a good Curlmart sale. 20% off plus $2 or $5 shipping on my full order.I know what you mean. That stuff isn't cheap! But using it diluted gives me my best wash and goes. So that helps a little with the cost
I like my hair with KCCC and UFD, so my next comparison will be those two.
