I never thought about reactivating the curl like that. I'll try this when my hair gets that sorry look again. I banded last night in 4 sections and my hair looks great now! bindings rough on my 4a strands though so I probably would just bonnet tomrrow

My WnG as of late, I'm back to styling with the s-curl gel. I definitely prefer Wetline Xtreme, but I have the blue version (not the clear) and it's just so weird how the blue color of the gel stays under my nails all day after using it, it doesn't easily wash out. And when wash day rolls around again (some 7-15 days after) my hair washes out blue from the gel. It's really starting to bug me. 
(Don't mind the few visible twists, they'll hide inside the hair once it's fully dry.)

My sister loves the Blueberry control jelly. I've never tried it.
I returned the curls goddess after 3 attempts since it did not have enough slip for me.

Ladies, I need your expertise. I don't know how to make my current WnG last after day three. I get so much shrinkage at night
I saw someone says they band their hair, so I'll try that. So far, I've tried:
Two pigtails
One fat twist down the back
Two twists down the back
Nothing, just a bonnet
All have only got me half decent day two hair that's too shrunken to do anything with by day 3 besides a boring updo. I wanted to do a braidout today but it's like my hair knows and decided to look super defined during my DC session, so I'm going to try a wash n go again.
I embrace the shrinkage. I like that my hair gets bigger over the course of the week. I was using the pineapple trick at night in this photo along with curl cream.
I think this was 3 day hair.

Lately, I've been using 3 - 4 twists and letting the water/steam in the shower refresh my hair.

My ends are too old to embrace shrinkage from WnGs. they knot and eventually breakoff. The wetting method is working beautifully, but it's too much manipulation for my winter time routine. So I might go back to braidouts and updos until until easter. I'm happy I found a way to make my wngos lastI embrace the shrinkage. I like that my hair gets bigger over the course of the week.

Day 4 hair after a henna gloss on Saturday. It really made my red pop! I used red raj henna, water and AOWC. After rinsing I DCd with a little Mielle Organics Babassu Oil and Mint DC and AOWC. I finished with fresh aloe juice and diluted KCCC.

Thank you.
That henna gloss gave your hair such a beautiful shine and red tint. How do you like Aloe juice for your hair?

Thank you and to think it's my first gloss (I did leave on overnight). I didnt think I'd get much colour but it is quite bright in reality.
The aloe is ok. My hair tends to like it fresh- whether I just rub the inner leaf on my roots, or grind it to juice but I don't think I will use every wash. I feel like my scalp loves it, but my hair did feel a little stiffer after pouring it this time round.

Hey ladies! I'm still doing braid outs but today I stumbled upon something and I am intrigued. I wash and let my hair air dry before doing braid outs. My natural curls are really nice and voluminous with no product. I got some pretty good definition here considering I dried my hair with a regular towel!
I still braided it up but it really made me want to try a no product wng or maybe a conditioner only wng hmmm
It's frizz because I used a towel and I was playing in it. I didn't care about definition because I was braiding it but if I did put some care in it I think it will turn out nice. It was so big, light and fluffy!

Hi Everyone 
I've been following this thread and started wearing my hair in a wash n go exactly 2 months ago. Here are 3 pics where
I used Devacurl No Poo and Conditioner, followed Netwurks Xcel21 (applicator bottle to scalp only), followed by Devacurl Ultra Defining Gel.
After washing, I apply everything to soaking wet hair. My hair was probably 100% dry in these pics since it was the end of the day. My hair is fine and dries pretty quickly. I think I'm 4AB with 2 patches of 4C on each side. However, the 4C is debatable since I have a defined curl pattern in those areas but the hair is just a little more coarse.
I hope you ladies do this challenge again for 2017 since I'm in this for the long haul.

Very pretty @nycutiepie. You got really good results with deva curl. I've been thinking about retrying them. I tried the arc angel gel a long time ago but really wasn't that impressed. I think I will try the whole decadence line instead of just one thing this time.Hi Everyone

Thank you and it means a lot.......especially coming from you
I went to the Devachan salon for a Devacut when I started in October and I've been using their products with good results ever since. I alternate between this gel and Kinky Curly. When I use KK, I use the KKNT beforehand and sometimes I use the KKNT before the Deva Ultra Defining Gel. I'll post more pics of the KK shortly so maybe I can get some comparison feedback.

We are all a work in progress. I have learned so much from the ladies in this thread. I wish there was a devachan in Georgia I would definitely go.

Does anyone love their day 1 hair? I find that I prefer my hair only on day 2 and beyond once it gets bigger.
I have fine hair that looks scraggly when wet and covered with product. I have to do a lot of fluffing and stretching overnight to get a full look.

It's too damn cold for wash & go hair. Not that I leave the house with wet hair but smushed, dry hat hair isn't cute.
It was snowing in NYC today. I'm going back to crochet braids for the winter as soon as I can get an appointment.

I prefer the first two days. The only reason I'm about to go 4 days now is because I'm too lazy to wash and color my hair.

I prefer everyday after day one. On day 1, my mainly fine lo-po hair hangs and is way too wet to look good.
