Fall/Winter Wash n go challenge

[keranikki]

Day 2 of wash n go. I'm getting better at this. Hair is still damp around the crown, though. I may have to start diffusing as it gets colder.

The blue wetline xtreme is a bust. Day 3 and my hair is a fizzy mess. I ordered the clear version and will give it a try this weekend. If that doesn't work I'm back to KCCC.

ETA- or maybe it's not the gel. I had to shampoo this week because my roots really needed it. Maybe my problem is the shampoo and not the gel. I won't throw it away yet, but I'm still going to try the clear version this weekend.

Day 2 with wetline extreme and my hair is already getting frizzy. I guess it's not as good as KCCC.

What color wetline extreme do you all use? I have the blue one, but maybe I should try the clear one.

I have the clear one with green top.

Day 3 with mane choice 3 in 1 conditioner and biotin gel. I haven’t added any extra product. I did wet a little in shower this morning reactvating the product already in my hair. I raked my fingers through it and also smoothed a few curls.

Day 3. It is a little frizzy up top due to my patrol cap. Overall, I like the KCNT/KCCC combo. I spritz my hair with CP tea rinse to refresh my curls every morning. So far, so good.

I used mielle organics products followed by the ginger gel issa heyall naw. That gel did absolutely nothing for my hair. I applied ecostyle black castor gel over top. This ecostyle gel is my favorite. Great definition, hair is not dry, and it smells really good.

I feel the same way about that gel. At first I thought it was going to be awesome, but then it was a big no.

It wasnt even smooth during application. I didnt bother doing my whole head with it. Dont know what Im gonna do with the rest of that mess.

I donated mine, if I recall. I watched its creator use it. She made it work by applying 3 2 other products beneath it.

I'm starting to get the hang of the wash n go, but I'm starting to worry that they will affect my retention. I have tangles and single strand knots. :-(

I tried th clear wetline xtreme today. It felt slimy when I applied it, just like the blue one, but I'm started to get a cast so I think it may work better. Time will tell.

 

[GettingKinky]

The clear wetline seems to be a winner. I find it hard to believe that the blue is so much worse. It must be because I used shampoo last week. Someday I'll try the blue again before I decide if I should toss it.

I was hoping maybe I could wear a wng puff for a while but I literally have to rinse my hair every morning which is not maintainable for me.

I will have to be patient until I can put my hair in 6 to 8 braids overnight. Then maybe I can do a wng at night, braid it up and wear a puff the next day.

Why do you have to rinse your hair every morning?

Why do you have to rinse your hair every morning?

Because it starts to dry out by the next morning and as it dries it shrinks and my curls start locking on each other. It probably can make it 1.5 days but not 2 days. If it dries out too much then I end up with splits, tangles and asks.

@faithVA what product combinations have tried.

@faithVA what product combinations have tried.

Sigh I probably can't list them all.

If I want to have any curls I have to limit my products to a diluted leave in and a gel applied heavily. If i use any oils or butters my curls straighten out and my hair frizzes.

This weekend I used tgin leave in straight with tgin twist and curl cream.

 

[Coilystep]

Tgin smells amazing but gave me zero hold. Have you tried kinky curly or Camille rose?

Yes I've tried kinky curly. but not Camille roze. I've tried kinky curly, as I am, tgin, wetline and a few others. My hair dries out in the same time.
I didn't buy the Camille Rose because I didn't really see any reviews that led me to believe it was going to work in my hair. So I've been trying to use up gels instead of just buying one after another.

Dyed my hair late last night with reshma henna that I've had in my stash for over a year. I was sick of my grey and didn't really see when I would make it to salon to get it done. I went in with no expectations but I was pleasantly surprised that it did the job. However I was up doing my hair until 4am due to poor planning on my part . For my wash N go I used kckt and kccc

 

[niknakmac]

I have been using The Mane Choice since I purchased and I consistently get 5 days out of my wng even with going to the gym and sweating like crazy. I refresh mid week with water and a bit of gel to any curls that have frizzed up or lost definition.

 

[GettingKinky]

I just finished my first container of KCCC. It lasted for 11 wash n gos, that's not too bad. I'll probably alternate between it and wetline extreme. I don't want to turn into a product junkie, but I may continue to try various gels.

 

[discodumpling]

Hey y'all I really have to look hard for pics of my hair lately. But rest assured I am still about that wash n go life. As always my regi is super simple and doable!
I'm still using ORS Naturals leavein sealed lately with an oil of choice (olive of coconut most often) and styled with Eco..ALWAYS!
I set my wash no go's on Sundays or Saturdays and reset on Wednesdays with a co-wash.
Lately i've been blow drying my curls (I just blow hot air at it till it's dry; no touching!) with no negative reactions like frizz or a shorter wash n go cycle. My curls stay on fleek until wash day!
Lately i've been getting the urge to straighten her...i'll give in before the end of the year i'm sure I just need an even that's worth it...like going to Jay Z's 444 tour in December !

I like my day 1 and 2 results with wetline the best. Wetline give nice soft, full, bouncy curls and KCCC gives me crunchy, wet-look, limp curls. But day 3-6 are better with KCCC because wetline gets frizzy after a few days.

 

[Sharpened]

Still doing oil wash and go, no gel. I have been doing it every other day because I like first- and second-day hair. No pics because my hair does looks the same.

 

[Coilystep]

It's a rainy day here today. I refreshed in shower this morning by wetting section by section finger detangled and applied curl maker all over. Original wash N go was done on Monday morning. I love how big and fluffy it is today.

 

[YvetteWithJoy]

Today I:

• prepooed with Chicoro's 2-step moisture-drenched prepoo recipe (hair felt great!)
• skipped the Cantu ACV Root Rinse
• cleansed with Henna Sooq Coveda Shampoo Bar (hair was cleansed, NOT stripped, coated, and feeling super strong)
• am DCing with Henna Sooq Hair Nourisher (about to rinse it out)
• then section by section will work CurlyProverbz DIY Hair Tea in and apply new-to-me SM Anti-breakage Firm Hold Gel Cream (I'm praying it doesn't flake like it did for that lady on YouTube )

@Coilystep you got the best office scenery, so peaceful looking.

Thanks it's very peaceful. We are surrounded by trees. Deer walk by occasionally. We have paths all over and will walk during lunch when not busy.

Forgotten wng with the usual. Damp roots.
