I'm having my best run of wash n go's ever... and my last combo is my best... I'm going to stick with this for a while...
(I just have one last combo I want to try, once I purchase it- the Uncle Funky's Daughter gel)

Other than that, I do a 2 product wash n go... this time I used Kinky Curly Custard on my roots and tips, I brush that through with my denman,
then I cover the whole section in wetline xtreme gel, and denman again or finger coil the stubborn curls.

My curls, are now on day 4, soft ringlets and curls all over my head. Shrinkage, yes. but it's growing...

My hair is officially 2 years old! (as of Sept 15th)
You can't tell, but it's bra strap in back and Apl on the sides, so I know that the consistent washing and taking care of my hair through wash n go's have been helping

Congrats! Your hair looks great!
I’m curious about your routine- why do you add wetline on top of the KCCC?

I’ve been thinking about Uncle Funky as well. Let us know how you like it.

Here are pics:
(Note: the first 2 pics are the most recent wash n go from this week, the last 3 pics are from my wash n go in mid august, where I said in this thread that I had perfected my denman brush technique for my wash n go's. -I had no way of uploading then-)

Thank you!!!
I add wetline on top of everything, lol.
It's the gel that's given my hair the best results this summer.
So I've layered it under every product I own to see what works best for me.

This time though, I couldn't find my mane choice 24k gel, so I used the first thing I saw....Kccc.... if it wasn't that, I would have used my texture ID gel cream (one of my other favorites).

I just co-washed w/ Aussie Smooth conditioner and detangled my hair with it.

I dampened my hair with my Turbie Twist.

I made 6 sections. I smoothed on CRN Almond Jai Twisting Butter, followed by Aloe/Green Wetline onto each section. I'm currently air-drying my hair.

It's too hot today! I wanted a quick routine, & I was able to do it early enough to avoid most of the rapidly rising temps.

2nd day of Autumn & it's hot!

So, I clarified w/ HE Blue Ginger + Micellar Water Shampoo, I used Nature's Little Secret Rose Hydrating Conditioner as my d/c. It's a detangler, rinse-out and deep conditioner in 1.

I dampened my hair with my Turbie Twist. 6 sections...

I smoothed CRN Almond Jai Twisting Butter, followed by Wetline Xtreme Aloe (green) gel onto each section. I'm currently air-drying my hair.

What’s it doing?

My hair is extra frizzy and dry. I thought it needed a deep condition but I tried that and it didn't solve the issue. I think it may either be the leave-in or the weather. I'm using As I Am Long and Luxe leave-in. Maybe I need something heavier. Pura body worked well but I have no more of that. Maybe I'll try Camille Rose butter.

Have you clarified recently? That always helps me when my hair starts acting up.

I received some new products, yesterday. All from The Mane Choice

I washed with TMC Ancient Egyptian Shampoo, and conditioned/detangled with the Ancient Egyptian Conditioner.

I separated my hair into 4 sections, 2 twists on each side, after detangling my hair. 1st rinse 1 twist, then unravel it to thoroughly rinse my hair. I then re-twist, roll the twist into Bantu knot, and repeat on the other side.
I find this method is easier for sectioning my hair.

I dampened my hair with my Turbie Twist.

I smoothed Camille Rose Naturals Almond Jai Twisting Butter, followed by Wetline Xtreme Aloe (Green) Gel onto each section. I'm currently air-drying my hair.

I washed with TreSemme Lux Moist shampoo, next used Bleu Luna Conditiong Butter as my d/c.
I detangled, and sectioned my hair with it.

I used Nature's Little Secret Irish Moss Styling Cream, smoothing onto each section. I'm currently air-drying my hair.

I decided to use this again during cooler weather to see if it's still moisturizing.

I'm trying out CurlMix just to see if it can work for my hair.

Work... yeah, it's not for those in a hurry.

So I washed with TMC Ancient Egyptian Shampoo. While using Nature's Little Secret Rose Hydrating Conditioner as my d/c, I detangled and sectioned my hair into 6 twists. Rinsed with cool water.

After unraveling the twists, I smoothed on the CurlMix Avocado Moisturizer (Watermelon Scent) onto to each section and put them into 6 separate Bantu knots.

(1 at a time, on soaking wet hair, after unraveling the Bantu knot).... I added an extra pump of the Moisturizer, before smoothing on the CurlMix Flaxseed Gel (Watermelon) onto each section. I air-dried for about 5-10 minutes. Diffused for about 45 minutes. Now I'm currently air-drying the rest of my hair.

Hopefully this turns out well.

Why do you say that’s it’s not for those in a hurry?

Only because of the recommended steps. I followed the instructions on the back. It's not what I'm used to... I usually split my hair down the middle for everything during the wash. I only really started sectioning after detangling, just recently.

But that's like 4 sections... I had to make six sections, and thoroughly detangle each one. Apply the leave-in/moisturizer in the shower. Use a diffuser, which I do have but rarely use (because I'm impatient). I still went with my regular nighttime routine.

I guess, I'm more used to taking the easy way out, or w/e is the quickest.

Maybe these steps might be easier for some or most?

But, it just wouldn't work for me if I was in a hurry. During those times, I either co-wash or water-rinse... then just smooth on a styler and go.

Yes, I go out with damp-soaking wet hair. It's usually warm-hot over here, with the rarer cool-cold weather.

That's one reason I like washing mid-afternoon or evening. Day 1 is basically overnight. That jheri curl look when you use a good amount of gel ain't the move. You can also pick your roots to give it more volume on the first day.

If I ever get to the point where my hair lasts a week I’ll move my wash day to Sunday and then I won’t mind day 1 so much.
Or maybe I’ll switch from gel to a curl custard. I get good day 1 hair then, but it barely lasts 2 days before it turns to complete frizz.

Finally I found a leave-in to go w/ an old fav styler!

I washed with TMC Ancient Egyptian shampoo. Next, I used Nature's Little Secret Rose Hydrating Conditioner as my d/c and detangler. I sectioned my hair into 6s.

I smoothed on As I Am Long & Luxe GroYogurt, followed by As I Am Curling Jelly onto each section.
I'm currently air-drying my hair.
