@GettingKinky I've never tried a fine toothed comb. I've used a denman and one of those wooden brushes before. They cause more frizz and more shrinkage. I prefer using just my fingers. Please report your results.
I don't have any fine toothed combs. I actually only have one comb and it's a wide toothed shower comb.

Hello Hydration Conditioner, which is not a leave in but I used it as one. I have since stopped using it as a leave in because I don't think my natural hair likes it but my relaxed hair did.

That may have been the problem. I only pair it with other Camille rose leave ins. Except for the honey leave in that one gave me sticky hair. Also make sure your hair is soaking wet.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will try it solo.

We are getting some rain. So it's a little more frizzy then I like but I think it's still ok. This is day 5 I let it get wet in shower and added additional kccc I didn't section I did praying hands throughout. I was trying to combat some of the frizz although with the weather today I know I will have some.

Has anyone tried diluted gel in a spray bottle to refresh their wash n go?
ETA I'm going to try it today. I'll see how it goes.

I tried, but it came out in a stream. I keep pondering trying a commercial spray gel, but haven't had the urge to buy it.

Or a cone free condish. I love Tresemme Botanique. Works with KCCC as well.

Good Q.
Not me, but I've been tempted to try that Kinky Curly Spiral Spritz for the same reason.
The Amazon reviews and Q&A's make for interesting reading:

yeah mine came out in a stream too. I thought it was because I got a cheap spray bottle but maybe that's not it. :-(

I did a couple wash n gos with the Camille Rose leave-in collection, but none came out right, and the Honey leave in made my hair feel gross, so I promptly washed them out before I remembered to take a picture. The latte leave-in was just too thin to do anything for me, and the Honey left a sticky coating on my hair that attracted a variety of things to my hair.
Yesterday, I did a wash n go with my As I Am leave-in and Mane Choice Orchid Biotin gel. I forgot to take a pic of first day hair, but I'll take a pic when I refresh this morning. The hold and definition remind me of Wetline, but it was easier to spread.

Thank you so much for this mini-review.
I kept contemplating if I wanted to get this. Upon reading this, I think I'll pass.

Here is my second day with Mane Choice. I had some flaking, which you can see on my shirt and on the front of my hair.
I did a mini haircut before taking the picture because my hair was getting a little too long and uneven, but I think I accidentally cut off too much.

I did a wash and go today without a gel. The curl definition isn't great but some photos look decent enough to share.
I don't know but I like my relaxed ends better. I'm not sure if my natural hair will ever grow to look presentable enough. I wish I hadn't cut that twa

I did a wash n go with As I Am Curl Defining Jelly and Coil Defining Jelly. I feel like the Curl Defining Jelly was more liquid than the last time I got it. I almost felt like it should be in a bottle instead of a jar. My first day hair was OK. By second day, I had a fluffy frizz ball. Neither has good hold.
I keep generating errors when I try to upload pictures. I'll try from my laptop. It won't upload from my phone anymore.

What a cutie you are, @Alma Petra
I wish you could let the rest of your hair go and enjoy your texture.

Oh thanks dear! That's so kind of you to say!
You won't believe it but I am actually getting thoughts of going back to texlaxing. My natural hair is very unpredictable. It's like

Oh well... The thing about natural hair I have learned is letting it do what it wants and learn what it wants, then it becomes more agreeable. I am just so glad we have more products and techniques than we had 20 years ago.

You are right. I hope to be able to come up with something by the end of this year. Most of the time what my hair wants is to be a total mess and enjoy itself. But I can't walk out with it like it wants me to. I have to say that my twa makes it seriously challenging to achieve a decent looking bun. Buns used to be my go-to thing!! I can't wear a wash and go to work because I have to wear a cap there and it transforms the style into a real mess so that I dread taking the cap off when it's time to go home. It's the last piece of clothing I take off while changing at the end of the day lol
Oh le struggle!

I like the way you styled it in the pics. Looks chic.

Thank you dear! It doesn't always turn out the same but yes I think that it does look funky. I can't though go have my official photos taken today with 1/4th of my hair a twa and the other 3/4th in a bun
I am going to keep experimenting to see if I can come up with quick reliable styles that can serve different purposes. Maybe if the twa grows a bit longer I can twist it or braid it or pin it down into the bun. We'll see.

This morning I ate breakfast washed and styled my hair and got dressed in 50 minutes. 
I applied my leave in and gel in 4 sections. I used a ton of each and it went really quickly.
I like the combo of KCKT and KCCC but next week I may try wet line again since it's so cheap.
I'm still not wearing my hair loose. Maybe when it gets longer and has more hang/less shrinkage.
I really like my hair on the first day. But since I only wash once I week I have to figure out a really quick mid week refresh.
