I tried the Wetline gel that everyone's talking about in that other thread. I'm on the fence about it. It's not bad, but I'm not finding it as amazing as other folks. Today's combo looked nice and blingy - Camille Rose coconut water leave in, Curls Unleashed curl defining creme, sweet almond oil, Wetline gel.

I remembered the other reason I don't use Eco Styler for my wash & go. My hair was still wet on Tuesday (3 days). I had to use so much that I got goop under my fingernails when I touched my scalp, and I also got white residue on my edges. It finally fully dried Wednesday (day 4), but it was time to put it up.
I'm going back to Camille Rose and Uncle Funky’s Daughter, though I'll try wetline because I bought it.

Still loving my wash n go life. I keep saying i'm gonna do "something else" with her but I am grateful that my hair is one less thing to worry or even think about in my busy crazy life.
My avvie isn't doing my hair justice at all. Although it doesn't LOOK tremendously longer than the avvie it's a fact that i'm past SL and will probably hit APL by Christmas. When I pull at my bottom layers I can almost tuck it under my pits! LOL! But shrinkage is the bawwwsss! My hair still shrinks up to my ears. However i'm comfortable with my crazy fro, I love it so!
I can get 3rd and 4th day hair these days but sometimes I like being extra. This week because I can; I will drown my hair with alternating moisture and protein treatments. Wash n wearing erry single day!

It looks really nice. The color is beautiful. Your curls are super stretched out. Do you think that is because of your methods or are they naturally elongated?

Thank you @beingofserenity I think its a bit of both. It's mainly down to three things; the coil/wave pattern of my strands on the top part of my head, my root to tip smoothing technique- used whenever I water rinse, clay wash or condition, and my main styler- which also elongates.

When you use the curl maker, do you get a goopy residue on your scalp? I absolutely love this gel, make it causes my scalp to itch and a goopy residue on my scalp. Also, it flakes on my edges and only on edges. lol. I tried using olive oil then the gel but I still have the residue. The olive oil did help make it soft instead of crunchy.

I don't get that. I don't flake either. What conditioner are you pairing it with? It has never been crunchy for me.

I use tressume curl undone conditioner as my leave-in? Maybe that's why I'm getting the residue and some flakes. What are you pairing with your gel?
Coilystep
@imperial_acquisitions
Yes that may be the problem. I've only ever paired with Camille Rose leave ins or curl love.

I use Oyin Hair Dew or Curl Junkie Curl Assurance Smoothing Lotion and I don't get flakes.

This was my hair yesterday for my birthday. Really liked the way my hair turned out. I used as I am clarity shampoo, as I am leave in and as I am curling jelly. FYI Sally has all as I am products buy 2 get 1 free. So I got the leave in for free plus my Sally's discount.

I see that you said that you styled your hair with diluted KCC (Kinky Curly Custard, right?) What are your ratios? How long does your gel last?

@pelohello I only dilute what I need for that sitting as I've always got an empty container around. No measurements, as I do this by eye (more water than gel). I did put some pics and ratios up in the MHM thread a good while ago though.
ETA: One small (8oz) tub of KCCC usually lasts me 4 or 5 uses (full wng applications). I usually buy the large tubs.

Soooooo.... I tried Jane Carter incredible curls. I like it but I don't love the product. It took forever to dry. It has a slight hold but did not control my frizz; in fact I think it caused frizz. It also shrunk my hair. My hair shriveled up to my ears. The 1st day, it looked ok, but today; OMG a tight tangled mess. I think this product will be good for a twistout or in conjunction with a gel; if attempting to do a wng.
On the plus side, I tried the Kinky Curly shampoo and it was fantastic!!!! If I don't feel like using clay, I think this will be a great alternative.
The 1st two pics are of my hair wet with the product. I used Kinky Curly leave-in/DC and DC overnight. The next day I applied the Jane Carter product in sections. Once it dried, I broke the cast with my shea butter mixture.
