Fall/Winter Wash n go challenge

[Bette Davis Eyes]

I'm stuck between wanting to protective style and my hair needing water/conditioning.

I'm either going to have to find a protective style that allows me to condition and water my hair( and not look crazy)

Or back to my washngos and detangle as slowly AS possible

Day 3 hair. I baggied my whole head overnight.

Day 4. No refreshing. I've just been tying with a satin scarf at night and shaking/ fluffing in the morning. I should wash it today as I was too tired yesterday.View attachment 362403

I love your texture!

I haven't been having much wng luck. When I do it's a fluke that I can't replicate. I can't remember the last pic I posted so hopefully I haven't shared this already. I can't seem to master definitely and high volume at the same time. I want more of a fluffy, big carefree wng. And my shrinkage has been insane.

I love your texture!

@Pokahontas Thank you.

Old frizzy wng and playing around with temporary color. I actually like it frizzy. Trying to embrace it since my hair frizzes no matter what in humidity.

Wash & go with Eco styler and diffused/stretched

I tried an actual wash and go, no products, and I like it. A friend said she doesn't use products because they weigh her hair down and she likes a more afro look.
It did look ashy/dry once it was fully dry so I'd need to add some oil or something to give it shine long term. It's an everyday wet hair thing, no second day hair. I just put on my turbie after my shower and released my hair once I was dressed.

Wash and go from today! It's actually a day old wng. I used Ampro Pro Styl Clear Ice gel and refreshed with worlds of curls activator gel.

I had my sister give me a serious cut... Back to wash and go life! I plan on mastering this and trying out tons of new products! I want to grow my hair out it just needed a shape.
My current list:
Trader Joes Nourish Spa Conditioner
Suave clarifying shampoo
Coconut oil mix
Shea Moisture Manuka Masque
Shea Moisture curling soufflé
Gorilla snot punk gel or olive oil eco styler


Copper eyeshadow for color

Dry first day hair in a pineapple. I hadn't fluffed and volumized yet. I used too much get for this wng.

I finally got a good wash n go with Eco Styler Gel. I did it on dripping wet hair and shingled, instead of raking. It took an extra 20 minutes. I'm debating whether I want to do this again or use my usual wash n go gels that I can rake, but it is good to know I have the option.

Looks very good. I'm looking to try the wetline xetreme everyone has been talking about lately. Have you tried that gel yet?

Did an overnight DC with Eden body works. Got up early rinsed it out and styled with Camille Rose latte leave in and curl maker. I sat under dryer about 45 minutes. It's still a little damp.

Thanks! I haven't tried wetline yet. I just ordered it from Target this weekend.

Your hair is so long now!

 

[Coilystep]

Your hair is so long now!

It feels like it will be another 5 years before it will sit on my shoulders dry. Gotta love shrinkage.

Back to doing wash n gos. Not sure I really like them on my much anymore. I need a good cut because it tends to get droopy, but I plan to do mostly TOs in the fall, so I'm not willing too cut too much. Got to deal with it until September

Day 5. Still moist. Getting fuzzy due to ponytailing at night. I plan to wash on Saturday and start over

day 5?! how do you make it last that long?

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

I ponytail at night and thats it. Its so moist, I just add a little water to reactivate and shake. I dont mind it frizzing so it doesnt bother me. Day one is ultra defined, Day 5.. its curls with a halo of frizz.

Saturday I will start all over. I smooth , smooth, smooth my styler in until the hair is clumped and shake to separate. Thats about it.

@shawnyblazes how do you ponytail at night? do you happen to have a picture of this?

No, but I will take one tonight for you.

I put one ponytail in the top, and two on the sides.

@Napp this is my hair today and this is day 4. I just wear my bonnet at night. In the morning I just let the steam from shower loosen it up I will shake and fluff with my fingers as well. If it is to frizzy I spritz frizzy area with water from my spray bottle and rake my fingers through it. Picture I posted on Monday was day 1. I don't think there is a huge difference look wise.

i can barely get 3 day hair as it is. maybe its because i don't use gel?

That's probably it. When I use cream I make it last all week but I definitely have less definition by day 3.

Cream or conditioner only gives me 3 days top.

Day 4 hair. I've been rewetting and shaking every morning. Planning on washing Friday so I can overnight deep condition:
