What's your hair type? How long is your hair stretched? How long have you been natural? Do you wash n go? how long does your was n go last? Thanks in advance!
Hair Type: 4ab
Length when stretched: MBL
I've been natural for 7.5 years, but didn't start my healthy hair journey until summer 2013, I was past APL but not quite BSL then.
I only WNG during the summer. I wash/wet my hair as usual, use a wide tooth comb with some conditioner, slather a toooon of extra conditioner, put JBCO on the ends, and put my hair in 6 large twists to make sure the hair doesn't curl back on it's self too much. My hair doesn't take the shape of the twists when I unravel it because the twists are loose and I combed out my hair prior to adding conditioner, so my natural curls are the result, but slightly stretched. My hair doesn't need to dry completely before I take the twists out. Kinky Curly Knot Today is the best curl defining conditioner for me. The custard works well, but it makes me feel like I'm wearing a Jheri curl.
My WNG could last at least a week, but I try not to go over 3-4 days due to the hair that hits my shoulders and starts to tangle up.
