Photo Request: Post your Wash n Go...

[HarlemHottie]

Method: Plopping/Lazy Shingle....I put Suave Tropical Coconut in, add Coconut/Evoo mixed or Vatika Oil, and finish with my gel - currently Eco Styler

I didn't DC before this - just a co-wash

This style lasts for approx 4 days. Spritz in the morning to reset, shake, and go, no additional product necessary. I might add a tiny bit more oil after day 2, but not usually.

My hair type....uh.... 4a mixed with 3b/c..? I used to think I was all 4a/b but now looking at different sections I'm not so sure...

GIRL YOU ARE A ROCK STAR!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE YOUR HAIR!!!

what method you used? (shingled, etc) I shingled and used a small denman brush in places.
what products?proclaim activator gel
Did you wash/dc before this? with what? Yes I conditioner washed and detangled with a vatika oil rinse, left on a little amla and brahmi for ten minutes.
How long does the stlye last you? Not sure but I think three days with no touchee touchee and a spritz in the morning.
hair type? phew, I think 3c, 4a with 3b on the crown, growth will reveal my most dominant texture, but my crown is very loose, sigh who knows.

Nice thread! I am still figuring out WNGs, but here's mine (a wng puff is in my avatar)

what method you used? there are methods? . I just comb it in the shower with condish, rinse, then add in my moisturizers and go...
what products? Varies. Usually Hair Mask, butter treat, or moisture milk condish, then one of them to leave in with castor oil and coconut oil
Did you wash/dc before this? with what? cowashed with above
How long does the style last you? Well it gets dry after 3 days if I don't rinse it again...
hair type? 4a/b? They all make spirals but the diameter is much smaller than many other 4people who claim 4a, so....
Your fotki for more pictures? under construction

THIS PICTURE IS AMAZING! You inspire me to embrace the grays!

Thanks! Your hair is so pretty and I love your style! You rock the bands, I need to get that going!

See I think Natural Glow below is a true 3b/3c. She has coils without any manipulation and her hair would form ringlets prolly wothout any product. Ummmmm, my hair isn't like that It requires a lot of product and some effort to mimic a little of what Natural Glow's does. Dried without product, my hair is a frizzy afro. NONE of the strands play nice together. There is no clumping or forming of ringlets or coils naturally. So, I think that's more descriptive of 4a hair.

I think what throws people off is the diameter of what curls I do have, which may be a little larger than some people think a 4a should be. I dunno. My hair behaves more like the descriptions of 4a, though. Ironically, the hair that I think behaves more like 3c hair (behind my ear and underneath on my nape) have a smaller curl diameter than the rest of my hair, but it will clump a little more and form true ringlets without a lot of manipulation, so I consider that 3c even though the curl diameter is smaller. Hair classification/typing confuses the heck outta me...

That's my story and I'm stickin' to it...

I've been natural for over 15 years... and I still don't understand the hair typing. Your hair is pretty though!

Its funny you described your hair that way. I thought that your hair may be what we consider 3B/3C, but it definitely looked like it has 4a tendencies.

Method Used? (shingled, etc): Section hair in half and apply KCKT by raking and scrunching. Then Section each half 4 times for a total of 8 sections and apply KCCC by raking and smoothing then I twist the hair (think of wringing out a towel). Once applied to all sections I run my fingers through my hair so the twist come out. Then air dry.

Products? KCKT and KCCC

Did you wash/dc before this? with what? I had co-washed the previous day w/ VO5 Tea Mint something then used Garnier Fructis Deep Fortifying Sleek & Shine Condish. Since this is 2nd day hair I had put hair up in a pineapple before bed and just took down in the morning and fluffed a litle with my hands. It's always bigger the 2nd day which I love!

How long does the stlye last you? 3 days then I may put it in a messy bun or I will co-wash and start over!

Hair type? Who knows!

Your fotki for more pictures? In my siggy!


ETA: My avatar is a WnG as well and the pics posted are from 2 weeks ago.

FindingMe, from what I see, I would say that you are a 3b, definitely not a 4a... I think

I'm so happy I can now contribute to these threads!

First one is a recent WnGo. Only used conditioner. Second is the result of a few days... dry, matted, no curl definition. 3rd pic is to demonstrate the texture.

And um...You just gained a fotki/album stalker...

Nice - I love your hair color too.

 

[lovenharmony]

I don't what y'all are doing, but the one & only time I did a wash n go, it' looked like an afro! I'm assuming that you're not supposed to comb it out, but that's what I did. I'm also abot 2 months post relaxed and 3c / 4a or something like that...

what method you used? (shingled, etc) Washed it, conditioned, spread some shea Butter on it...yep, that's about it!

what products? Washed with Pantene clarifying shampoo, Roux Porosity control, and conditioned with Pantene full n thick.

Did you wash/dc before this? with what? Yep, see above response

How long does the stlye last you? Didn't even last 6 hours

hair type? 3c/4a

Your fotki for more pictures? No Fotki

Here's my version of wash n go...EPIC FAIL! LOL

Don't comb it out! Hand in fro disease is the culprit! Keep your hands out and let it dry naturally. Also, you may need a product with some holding power - agel like KCCC or another gel.

what method/products you used? I used Nature's Gate conditioner (Aloe Vera/Moisturizing) as a leave-in and then a little Ecostyler gel on top of that. It's a lazy shingle, just enough to get the product throughout

Did you wash/dc before this? with what? No DC. V05 + a little castille soap

How long does the stlye last you? 2-3 days (it starts to feel hard and dry to me after that even spritzing with moisturizer or water. My hair prefers braids or twists)

hair type? 4a/3c (dense w/ wiry, coarse strands that don't play nice with each other so hard to define coils)

Your fotki for more pictures? Link in siggy

^^what she said. once i add products and smooth/single...I can't even LOOK at my hair or it will frizz and puff. Tha's prolly another reason why I can't do WnGs bc I am too impatient and always want to touch and it jacks it right up...

You have such pretty hair!! Looks so healthy and soft!!
