Any naturals who wash n go all winter?

[DDTexlaxed]

I'm just so happy about my hair right now, even though I haven't reached my goal of flat twisting yet. Anyway, I've decided that even if I can't do any protective styles, I'll be doing a wash n go all winter. Can any naturals give me tips on how they do this without getting sick? I hope to BC in November or early December. Long transitions are just not for me because I get stir crazy trying to blend the two textures. It will be the longest that I've ever transitioned, so it is a victory for me when I do my BC.

I washed and go all winter, but I drive to work. I wash and put the products in my hair and then put a towel over my hair while I get dressed, then I blast the heat in my car almost all the way to work. Thats how I got throught the winter and never got sick well not with a head cold or bad cold. I usually get bad colds around this time. I won't be doing it this year, my hair has gotten longer and it takes longer to dry and I will be keeping my hair in buns.

great question. i hope someone can say yes! b/c i can't imagine diffusing my hair every day after my co-wash. mad work. lol.

I'd like to know too. I'm not natural but I can't imagine doing a wash and go all winter long especially if you live in a colder climate.

I prep my hair like a wash and go and then sit under a hooded dryer at night and spritz a curl spray in the morning

I did a wash n go all last year with no problems. I live in Cali though so not sure if that makes a difference. I'm not natural now, i texlaxed a month ago, but I was last year at this time. I plan on co washing 3-5 days a week this winter as well.

Texlaxed and natural I Wash n Goed all year.

IN THE MIDWEST.

I DID let my hooded dryer dry the roots and knock the dampness out of the ends for 5 min before walking around campus though.

I don't have any strict rules or regimens for my hair. I just go with the flow. I wash and go during the winter, but I wouldn't do it necessarily everyday. I would give my hair at least a day or two to get fully dry before I did it again.

invest in a diffuser or get up earlier to avoid really wet hair when leaving

i've been doing it at night so far and fluffing in the morning. can't do wet hair in the morning.

I most likely will. I have a new conditioner that is rubbing me the right way . I don't think I can do without it! Besides, I have a part-time job and will be working at home for my other job.

Thank goodness for staying indoors. My co-worker is going to give me some cornrows (hopefully), so until it gets really cold (BIG LIE! It's going to be 29 degrees tonight here in Memphis!), I should have time to work out the particulars

I usually do this with no problem. I will be using a heavier moisturizer this year. i am going to use butters this year. I may try nappystorm's tip and sit under the dryer for a bit and then use some curl spray.

I am not natural but texlaxed. I do many wash n gos durning the winter. I do towel dry my hair to take alot of the water out before I apply my products. However, I drive to work every day and do not have a problem with being sick. I live in California and it does not get too cold, but it takes most of the day to dry, but I like having damp hair & my hair seems to thrive and grow in the winter.

This will be my first winter :Blush2:

I wash n go all winter!

I cowash or wash/condish in the shower.
Out of the shower add gel/hair lotion/oil and style as usual.
Sit under the dryer (dryer on low heat), eat breakfast and put on my make-up.
Well fed, looking good and ready to go!

Not really. I diffuse after every co- wash. Takes about 10 minutes

ETA I live in the north and have an ionic diffuser. I can't imagine walking around with wet hair. Plus, when I do, my leave- ins show
