I've been natural for 3 years and NEVER could wear a wash and go, until dickey. Let me tell yall when i say my curls are popping!!!!! Best video explaining a true wash and go hands down. I only rock a wash and go now and luvs it. Goodbye 2hr twistout.
I have to say it is soooo refreshing to hear a salon owner talking about and assisting natural hair women with tips and products! Many shy away from even taking us as clients and those who do, try and take us back to flat ironing or chemical treatments thanks for showing your a well rounded "Professional" cosmetologist.
I TRIED SO MANY PRODUCTS. On a whim bought a $5.00 bottle of Aussie conditioner and $3 Dippity Do Sport Gel. Put the gel in SOAKING wet hair. It worked. I damn near cried. Get a lot of crunch but a shake and a scrunch and it’s good. Sometimes simple is better.
Anthony Dickey is educated, confident, well articulated and infuses inspiration for any hair texture desiring this method and education for everyone in his delivery. I'm kinda ashamed to say that after 8 years of being free of ANY chemicals have I found the right way for wash and wear hair and that Dickey delivers true education of how to for wash and wear hair-the right way. After tons of youtube videos, noone really had it truly "correct" and if they did, they were fortunate. It's ironic in my journey that a salon-centric forum gave the best advice after getting away from salons because of how they seemed to be disrespectful and clueless to hair period. Thanks Dickey!!!!
All I can say is THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! After watching a thousand videos on how to style my natural hair, I come across this! Holy Cow! I use to HATE my wash 'n goes; I tried your method this morning in the shower....Hair is shiny and YES CURLS ARE POPPING and last but certainly not least....I HAVE ELONGATION!!!!! I no longer look like I have a TWA....I'm speechless and thankful all the same. God Bless You! No towels; to twist outs; no long detangling process; #LOVE
BAAAABBAAAAAYYYYY!!!! You have not only revolutionized my hair day you have helped me to reduce shedding as well!!! Almost 4 years natural and wearing wash n go’s for the FIRST TIME!!! Thank you!!! I have not graduated to the suds free but I am saturating more with conditioner! 🙌🏾👏🏾
The concept, when explained, makes perfect sense.👍 I used Hair Rules products when they were presented on HSN. The natural hair world was not ready for it back then.
I have been getting MAD♥️ compliments on my hair since watching, listening and following Dickey’s instructions. When I say I feel like a new woman without the Tummy Tuck-BABY Believe it!✌🏽👌🏽👍🏽😂
Love this video. It ultimately helped me to ditch the typing sys and embrace wash n go styling. I have hair that has waves, curls, coils of multiple sizes and when dry w/out product most of my hair is frizzy and undefined. Typing your hair when bone dry gives you a false sense of what your hair is capable of doing. I thought the only styling options were twist outs, braid out etc. using this method has helped me add wash n wear styling to my repertoire. Thanx for this video Mr. Dickey.
I have 4c Hair and I just tried your wash and wear method today for the first time with the products I have and i was so please. I've been doing all that twisting for nothing. my hair curl and dried right to my tapered cut, which I was so please that it turn out so perfect. Thank you so much for taking the time to explain everything so thoroughly. I plan to buy some Hair Rules Products also.
Thank you for sharing the ADM!! I used the products I had, followed your instructions and my hair is fantastic...curly, shiny, soft...After learning of the ADM, I said, "This makes sense & it's so simple!" The ADM is my go-to WNG style. And with winter fast approaching, this is the perfect style because the ADM hydrates my hair with moisture. Again, thanks for sharing the ADM.
This man is a genius! I never thought that I had a curl pattern or was able to do wash and wear until I visited his salon and was shown how to do my hair. I am now fully convinced and will use this method all throughout the summer months...I also will be stocking up on HRules products. They work really REALLY well!
Thank you for the encouragement. I did it Several times (because I had a week off & it takes HOURS to dry) & the results were the same. The texture didn't change with half a bottle of conditioner in it. So even though it was "manageable" nary a curl pattern could be seen or felt. My mother had the same issue and my grandson has the same resistant hair type. Trust me, I'm glad the method works for my other sisters out there. I'm all for Natural when able or desired.
Robin Smith get a clarifying shampoo! You probably already have sealing things on it from before you were using the method. Deva Curl has an incredible one called Buildup Buster. I would bet you have some left over silicone or something else blocking your hair from getting the moisture from the conditioner down inside the shaft.
I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for all the information you've passed on to us!! I've been struggling with my hair since I've transitioned, and I've learned more from you than anyone else in the past year!! Thanks so much, and keep up the incredible work!!
thank you! thank you! thank you! i've been natural since January this year & have been searching all over the net for some good advice regarding my kinky/curly hair. FINALLY, i've find someone who's definite in their advice. i've enjoyed and appreciated other tutorials but i could rarely tell if folks got lucky or just stumbled upon a successful technique. i tried a lot of them w/so-so success. i'm really l@@king forward to watching more of your tutorials and purchasing products from Hair Rules. you're the best!
I LOVE UA-cam University. I was 51 years old when I threw some gel in there and DISCOVERED that I have intensely curly hair. Whaaaaaaaat??? I capture the curl with a gel. My hair loves cream conditioners, but no cream stylers. Gel is the thing!
I'm a natural newbie and I have to say I'm extremely overwhelmed (hoping not to have regrets). My closet is full of hair products and I feel none of them touched on what Dickey mentioned. Maintaining curl pattern when hair is dry. I will definitely purchase his products and I'll try to get a hair appointment in the very near future. The first thing that comes to mind when I'm viewing is educational videos is QVC & HSN. Dickey - have your team look into this. I'm a huge fan of both! If Carol's Daughter can get a deal on HSN, I'm sure you can as well. Be Blessed!
This is great advice, and I hope those who wish to capture their natural curls at least gives it a try. I have been natural for 5 months, but continued to wash with a sudsing shampoo. It wasn't until a month ago that I stopped. I was using both a sudsing and non-sudsing and noticed a very nice curl pattern when I used the non-sudsing. The light bulb came on; the suds was drying my hair out. No more suds for me! My curls are popping and it doesn't get hard & dry.
I am so grateful for the education!!! 💋😍😘You are simplifying natural hair for us...so thank you and for that GOD Bless You!!! I think we can all agree we love the versatility of NH but it is a lot of work
Hi Dicky! Thanks for all your fantastic information. I have been natural for 20 years, in locks for 18 of those years. I big chopped my locks in 2013. I have medium length 3C/4A low porosity hair. Ive been doing my wash and go weekly for almost a year and I believe I have mastered it. But this last time (yesterday) something happened that elongated my curl pattern and reduced my beautiful shrinkage (Yes, I love my shrinkage because it makes my hair curlier fuller and bouncier). So here is what I did this time: 1) prepoo overnight with coconut oil, 2) co wash w/as i am coconut cowash, 3) deep condition with shea moisture 10 n 1 masque, 3) as i am leave-in, 4) curling jelly. 5) air dried but no shrinkage and more frizz than usual. So this morning I tried to fix it. I rinsed thoroughly with water, saturated it with tea tree tingle, waited, rinsed, raked a little jojoba oil through to seal, then raked my eco styler through, air dried and still no shrinkage. My question Dicky is what happened to my shrinkage and what can i do to get it back? Please help!
I Love your confidence in your products, and knowledge on Black hair looking forward to coming in to your shop for a cut and a lesson. HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON!!
AMAGING video. Thank you so much for unselfishly sharing your knowledge. I'm so glad I stumbled upon your video. Such a blessing. :) You're a wonderful person for taking your time to do this.
I have found that to Capture my curl pattern is to HEAVILY SLATHER conditioner on to my hair and detangle under running water! After that, I add lil and a oil more conditioner!!! Done... Boom!!!
You make it sound so easy. I was finally able to do a wash and go following your video and I finally understand what it really is. Thank you for the clarity of your videos. I really need to make an appt with you.
Where were you before I relaxed my hair! Now I'm transitioning all over again... Thank you so much. I saw the video you made with Taren Guy: Great work.
I have tried your wash and wear method.. my hair has shine and curls are poppin. I abdolutely love it, however, are there any additional suggestions for lower density fine hair?
Thank you so much your information is such a blessing I've been natural for five years and I'm just now figuring out the best way to take care of my natural hair thanks again
I just love the amazing info. Of course I want to go and find a big tub of inexpensive conditioner right now tho. I guess conditioner and styling cream will be my new splurge.
Lush cosmetics actually has great hair products..I tried a sample of one of their shampoos called "blousey" and just after one wash, i have never seen my hair so shiny and hydrated after shampooing! My curl pattern was super hella defined and hanging down. My hair type is 3c/4a.
I don't know about "Blousey" but I used to use Lush's Curly Wurly until I realized it has sulfates in it so you should probably check that out if you want to be poo free. I used to love it because it left my hair shiny too but in the end it dried my hair.
This explanation is extremely helpful! I will definitely give it try once all my relaxed ends are gone--I'm a long-term transitioner. It'll be two years middle of next month.
New subbie, Dicky thank you so much for educating me about my natural hair. You are 1 in a million. I heard about you in the past when I 1st transitioned but never subscribed until seeing your video through Taren a few days ago. I will definitely, recommend your video to my natural hair family n friends. Thank you so much
My hair stays wet for ages!!!! It will still be dry in the middle for about two days. I have tons of hair with tons of volume. I always get overcharged at salons because they use about 4 oz of product on me. This really makes washing or wetting my hair on a daily basis a no go. Also my curls never get a chance to fully set. I've tried diffusing but I'm probably doing it wrong or need to buy a different diffuser because I end up with a frizzy hair ball. My hair has tons of volume so I feel like diffusing makes it worse. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks :)
I bought your products and have done this method for about 4 times now. My hair has a different texture throughout. in the back ofit, I have about a 4B/C with very tightly coiled, pretty curls. In the front of it and top of it there is no real curl at all. It does not coil at all. it sort of zigzags and is not very nice I heard you say that over time, the hair will get softer and softer doing this . COuld it be that my hair needs to be cut down and I start over? Also I was under a hooded dryer for 2 hours and my hair was still wet. Is there anything that will speed up the drying process? I am trying to do this at night to wake up to a fresh head of curls daily. It's just not working for me. There has to be something I am doing wrong or my texture, while it loves the hydration and conditioner, is jut not going to curl all nice and pretty like others I have seen. It is also not full of body the way others are. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Frustrated American-born Afrcan
Hi, I have very thick and coarse 4b/4c hair. I came across Dickey 3 days ago and his method had changed my life!! My first attempt was semi successful because, like yours, my hair takes forever to dry. I air dried for 2 hours then tried to use the diffuser to complete the drying process. Thatbwas a fail. On day 2 I sat under the dryer for an hour. My hair was dry on the outside but soaked at the roots. It looked good enough though. So today, day 3, I got up 2 hours earlier than normal to give it another try. I cowashed, liberally applied my products (a leave-in conditioner and eco styler gel) but, what I did differently was I used my hand to squeeze out the extra product after my curls had been "captured". Once my entire head was done, I flipped my hair to one side and smoothed over the entire section using the praying hands technique, which helps to.further capture your curls while removing excess product. Then I flipped it over and did the same thing on the other side. I then covered my face, gave my hair a good shake to clump the curls even further, and allowed my hair to air dry without touching it. Now, it has taken it 8 hours to completely dry BUT, they are the MOST BEAUTIFUL CURLS I HAVE EVER ACHIEVED throughout the course of my 3 year natural hair journey. And I was still able to go about my work day in the usual manner without any moisture on my neck or shirt!! Now, the shrinkage is there (my hair is right at bra strap length when stretched, with the WnG it's right above my shoulders) but I don't even care because it looks so good!!! I NEVER thought I could do a wash and go because my hair is so thick and coarse and dry. Boy was I wrong!! I told my daughter and my sister that I will never do another twist out because this method is IT for me!! I hope you haven't given up yet. Sometimes you have to just tweak it here and there to suit the needs of your hair. For me, the third time was indeed a charm!!!
Deliciously Fabulous TV why would you cut your hair if you're trying to grow your hair, girl you need to learn how to braid your hair and keep it oil and hydrated make sure it's not tangled the end
Hi. I tried the wash and go method and it was a success. Had tried it before and it didn't work. Thank you. However, waking up th next morning my hair is hard and dry flattened to my head because it's not long enough to pull up or back. How do you make it look nice the next morning? I added oil to help loosen it and that didn't work. Trying to find something besides twisting. That's a lot of work. Be blessed and thanks in advance for any advice you can give.
Well traditional conditioners aren't meant to be left on the hair. It can irritate your scalp and it can add to product buildup which defeats the whole purpose of having healthy, long hair. I use a creamy leave in, and pair it with a HAIR MILK. But if you really want to use conditioner, mix a little with warm aloe vera juice and use that as a base for your stylers.
I followed everything on my daughter hair but when it started drying, it just reverted. I ended up damping it and did finger coils. We were disappointed, she really wants to do a wash and go. we don't have same texture.
It's the water that we use in our hair that makes it dry.I have filter I place in my shower it made a big difference in my hair and the product I use it made much softer.
Hello Anthony! Great video, very informative. Quick tip - Put a link to your website or page were we could buy the hair rules products, :0) Thanks again for your video.
When i wet my hair down with conditioner I don't see curls, only bentonite clay gets my curls to show, then i haven't found a styler that actually keep my curl pattern. Is the curl lesson where you'd teach me this?
+Melly B. (The Real Melly B.) my hair used to be the same way until i realized my hair wasnt moisturized enough and i had to find ways to let water into my cuticles (i have low porosity hair)
Melly B. i actually don't deep condition. for the longest i've only tried to moisturize my hair with only water and no conditioner which helped alot with keeping my curls defined when dry, though my hair would frizz up a couple of days after. and now recently i've been using conditioner thoroughly while my hair is soaking wet ( i apply it while still in the shower, i just step away from the running water) which helps even more since the conditioner helps trap water inside the cuticle, but i don't leave it in for too long since i looked into the science behind conditioner and realized it's unnecessary to leave it in longer than a few minutes. but in both cases i used ALOT of water, unlike before where i would avoid getting my hair soaking wet more than once a week. deep conditioning did nothing for me, only adding more water did. i don't think steaming it would be enough, especially with the conditioner in the way, blocking your cuticles from receiving more moisture. if you're gonna steam your hair, i suggest doing it right out of the shower with soaking wet hair, then applying conditioner afterwards.
That’s confusing for me I’m low porosity 4c and shampoo are the BEST! I detangle with my shampoo then conditioner rinse out add styling products soaked hair I do shampoos Everytime I’m styling. I hoping to eventually getting my hair healthy and using less products I just bleached
I use creme of nature and for some reason, my hair curls up more and is more detangled with the shampoo in than it does with the conditioner. Why is that? Does that mean I would just apply my styler after the shampoo instead? Also, does it have to be a styler or can it be a moisturizing lotion?
Have you ever tackled the wash n go on true 4C hair. it seems like most of the ladies you have videos on do not have real 4C hair. They have combination hair type with very little 4C type hair at all. Will you do a video with majority or all 4C hair type? that would be awsome. Beside the one things I see people do when they try and apply your method is the mess with their hair while its still wet, jacking up your method. I wanna see some one do this without messing it up by touching. I figure who better than you.
The different hair texture classifications are just a (highly flawed) guideline, there is no such thing as a "true" 4a, b, c, etc. It's just a visual range (created in the 90s by a black man who hated natural hair, but I digress), and has nothing to do with maintaining healthy natural hair. Why does everything have be demo'd in a video? Listen to what he is saying. The point of him describing the process in great detail is because everyone's texture pattern is different BUT these are basic hair care practices that apply to everyone with textured hair. That is his whole philosophy behind his book, hair products, and salon. Those concerned with wondering if this works on 4a, b, c, x, y, z and nitpicking on curl pattern are missing the whole point of what he is saying. And furthermore what makes a "successful" wash n go to you could be totally a "failure" to someone else. Yet another reason why the requested demo is useless.
After a few tryouts with this stuff it works but i still get better definition with gel. At least now i know drenched hair is the only way get maximum definition when styling a wash and go.
i'm a true 4c hair chick and his method has truly been the only method for me. I usually diffuse for about 20 minutes because the drying time on 4c is at least a 12 hour process. I thank the hair gods for finding you because was getting ready to go back to the perms I swear.
Hello, I enjoyed the video on your natural hair styles. I have a question for you I'd love to have a great natural hair style, but in the past relaxed my hair. And now its thick in the root an straight on the ends. Love to have it done in your shop where r you located.
Thanks so much Dickey. I attend Taren's hair event in Dec and received gift bag. Finally used the Quench Conditioner and finish cream. Its been 7 months since bc and my curly afro looks so cute. Its imperative to wet and apply conditioner daily when wearing wash n go. Will applying water alone reactivate conditioner for next day hair. Please advise. India
Hi. Right now on my scalp looks and feels like it is in bad condition. I feel scabs on my scalp and my scalp is very itchy. After I use regular shampoo. After about 1 day I see dandruff and experience itch. I seem to be struggling trying to get my scalp clean. My question is should I then start my week with a sulfate free shampoo just to try and remove the scab and dandruff and then every other day clean with water and then conditioner and capture my curls with my favorite styling product? My biggest struggle is my scalp.
My daughter is transitioning to natural hair. She currently is getting her hair done every 2 weeks just washed and flat ironed with no heat elements in between her bi-wkly hair appt visit. She is only 12 so we are not doing a big chop. Can you please advise on healthy hair tips for her transitioning to natural hair.
I have the SAME PROBLEM! That and how to maintain my type 4a hair once I go to bed. It's not quite long enough for the pineapple, so what else can I do?
Dang it I just bought sulfate free shampoo by cantu And it suds but I de tangled with it and it worked pretty well. Should I return it because it does suds a lot?
Hi Dicky, what would you do for someone like me who has two different hair textures keep her curl pattern. From the crown of my head back is wavy, curly and much more looser than the hair that is from the crown forward. That hair is much kinkier and thicker. The curls in the back last much longer and are more define than the front. Please help. Thank you in advance.
I've been natural for 3 years and NEVER could wear a wash and go, until dickey. Let me tell yall when i say my curls are popping!!!!! Best video explaining a true wash and go hands down. I only rock a wash and go now and luvs it. Goodbye 2hr twistout.

What do you think pf eco styler gel
@k.5425 I can't stand it. I like Wetline Extreme in the back where my curls are tight and Camille Rose in the front where the curls are looser.
@shauniebnaturalista6672 what are the cons of the eco styler that made you not like it?
@@k.5425 it made my hair feel very dry (over and above the crunch) and it does not play well with any of my other products.
Works on my my hair, which is extremely coiled and kinky. Now I can rock my twa and feel good about it. Thank you, A.D.
two thumbs up for being so thorough, its all typed out for you to read!!!!! YAS

Love this Guy, Mr Dicky we need new updates 👋😍
These basic techniques are still working. the Dickey Method works.
I am so grateful for the education!!! 💋😍😘You are simplifying natural hair for us...so thank you and for that GOD Bless You!!! I think we can all agree we love the versatility of NH but it is a lot of work
Hi Dicky!
Thanks for all your fantastic information. I have been natural for 20 years, in locks for 18 of those years. I big chopped my locks in 2013. I have medium length 3C/4A low porosity hair. Ive been doing my wash and go weekly for almost a year and I believe I have mastered it.

My question Dicky is what happened to my shrinkage and what can i do to get it back?
Please help!
Sounds like product build up. U may need to clarify.
Yep, product build up. Clarify with ACV & water mix. 1 part ACV to 3 parts water. Then wash and condition as normal.
I Love your confidence in your products, and knowledge on Black hair looking forward to coming in to your shop for a cut and a lesson. HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON!!
AMAGING video. Thank you so much for unselfishly sharing your knowledge. I'm so glad I stumbled upon your video. Such a blessing. :) You're a wonderful person for taking your time to do this.
This video helped way more than any other videos on his method LOL I now know what to do. Hope it turns out right LOL
This was soooo informative!! Love it. Wish I found this out years ago.
i dont avoid sulfate shampoo because i have hard water and my sulfate shampoo chelates my hair every 2 weeks. I deep condition after every wash
Well done I do the same and won’t give up on sulfate shampoo!
I wish you had a beauty shop here on houston
You educate me about my natural hair, thank you ever so much!
I have found that to Capture my curl pattern is to HEAVILY SLATHER conditioner on to my hair and detangle under running water! After that, I add lil and a oil more conditioner!!! Done... Boom!!!
You make it sound so easy. I was finally able to do a wash and go following your video and I finally understand what it really is. Thank you for the clarity of your videos. I really need to make an appt with you.
Where were you before I relaxed my hair! Now I'm transitioning all over again... Thank you so much. I saw the video you made with Taren Guy: Great work.
I have tried your wash and wear method.. my hair has shine and curls are poppin. I abdolutely love it, however, are there any additional suggestions for lower density fine hair?
Thank you so much your information is such a blessing I've been natural for five years and I'm just now figuring out the best way to take care of my natural hair thanks again
I subscribed this morning. Love ya Dickey
I use this method and I get so many compliments on my hair finally my hair is doing what I want it to do
Anthony, where are you?! we want you back on video! looooove your methods...
I just love the amazing info. Of course I want to go and find a big tub of inexpensive conditioner right now tho. I guess conditioner and styling cream will be my new splurge.
Try sauve infusion with coconut oil.
ty for giving so much knowledge. i look forward to my next cold wash
Lush cosmetics actually has great hair products..I tried a sample of one of their shampoos called "blousey" and just after one wash, i have never seen my hair so shiny and hydrated after shampooing! My curl pattern was super hella defined and hanging down. My hair type is 3c/4a.
I don't know about "Blousey" but I used to use Lush's Curly Wurly until I realized it has sulfates in it so you should probably check that out if you want to be poo free. I used to love it because it left my hair shiny too but in the end it dried my hair.
Thank you! I didn't know to co-wash and apply daily!
This explanation is extremely helpful! I will definitely give it try once all my relaxed ends are gone--I'm a long-term transitioner. It'll be two years middle of next month.
Dickey, just saw you on with TarenGuy, 4c video wash and go. Simply brilliant, can't wait yo try this. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Thank you for your help and kind advice. I will take heed to your advice. God Bless you and your family.
New subbie, Dicky thank you so much for educating me about my natural hair. You are 1 in a million. I heard about you in the past when I 1st transitioned but never subscribed until seeing your video through Taren a few days ago. I will definitely, recommend your video to my natural hair family n friends. Thank you so much
Soooo helpful!! Thank-you for the tips, I'll be using them when I wash my hair today :)
What about the use of leave in conditioners before using a styler?
I think it’s safe to do this
Fantastic information Dickey!!! Can we get you to California?? 🤔🙏🏾😇👍🏾
This video really explains everything you need to know! Excellent! Thanks!
My hair stays wet for ages!!!! It will still be dry in the middle for about two days. I have tons of hair with tons of volume. I always get overcharged at salons because they use about 4 oz of product on me. This really makes washing or wetting my hair on a daily basis a no go. Also my curls never get a chance to fully set. I've tried diffusing but I'm probably doing it wrong or need to buy a different diffuser because I end up with a frizzy hair ball. My hair has tons of volume so I feel like diffusing makes it worse. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks :)
I bought your products and have done this method for about 4 times now. My hair has a different texture throughout. in the back ofit, I have about a 4B/C with very tightly coiled, pretty curls. In the front of it and top of it there is no real curl at all. It does not coil at all. it sort of zigzags and is not very nice I heard you say that over time, the hair will get softer and softer doing this . COuld it be that my hair needs to be cut down and I start over? Also I was under a hooded dryer for 2 hours and my hair was still wet. Is there anything that will speed up the drying process? I am trying to do this at night to wake up to a fresh head of curls daily. It's just not working for me. There has to be something I am doing wrong or my texture, while it loves the hydration and conditioner, is jut not going to curl all nice and pretty like others I have seen. It is also not full of body the way others are. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Frustrated American-born Afrcan
Hi, I have very thick and coarse 4b/4c hair. I came across Dickey 3 days ago and his method had changed my life!! My first attempt was semi successful because, like yours, my hair takes forever to dry. I air dried for 2 hours then tried to use the diffuser to complete the drying process. Thatbwas a fail. On day 2 I sat under the dryer for an hour. My hair was dry on the outside but soaked at the roots. It looked good enough though. So today, day 3, I got up 2 hours earlier than normal to give it another try. I cowashed, liberally applied my products (a leave-in conditioner and eco styler gel) but, what I did differently was I used my hand to squeeze out the extra product after my curls had been "captured". Once my entire head was done, I flipped my hair to one side and smoothed over the entire section using the praying hands technique, which helps to.further capture your curls while removing excess product. Then I flipped it over and did the same thing on the other side. I then covered my face, gave my hair a good shake to clump the curls even further, and allowed my hair to air dry without touching it. Now, it has taken it 8 hours to completely dry BUT, they are the MOST BEAUTIFUL CURLS I HAVE EVER ACHIEVED throughout the course of my 3 year natural hair journey. And I was still able to go about my work day in the usual manner without any moisture on my neck or shirt!! Now, the shrinkage is there (my hair is right at bra strap length when stretched, with the WnG it's right above my shoulders) but I don't even care because it looks so good!!! I NEVER thought I could do a wash and go because my hair is so thick and coarse and dry. Boy was I wrong!! I told my daughter and my sister that I will never do another twist out because this method is IT for me!! I hope you haven't given up yet. Sometimes you have to just tweak it here and there to suit the needs of your hair. For me, the third time was indeed a charm!!!
Deliciously Fabulous TV why would you cut your hair if you're trying to grow your hair, girl you need to learn how to braid your hair and keep it oil and hydrated make sure it's not tangled the end
I think 4b IS a zigzag pattern. Last time I checked that curl type chart, that's what I saw. Sorry you don't like it! Hopefully you come to love it.
Hi. I tried the wash and go method and it was a success. Had tried it before and it didn't work. Thank you. However, waking up th next morning my hair is hard and dry flattened to my head because it's not long enough to pull up or back. How do you make it look nice the next morning? I added oil to help loosen it and that didn't work. Trying to find something besides twisting. That's a lot of work. Be blessed and thanks in advance for any advice you can give.
I thank you,I do have kinky thick hair, you know more about my hair then me.
This may be a dumb questions but why can't you just leave the conditioner in? Especially if you are going to wash or rinse again the day day.
i leave mine in. it turns out sooooo much better!!!!!
Well traditional conditioners aren't meant to be left on the hair. It can irritate your scalp and it can add to product buildup which defeats the whole purpose of having healthy, long hair. I use a creamy leave in, and pair it with a HAIR MILK. But if you really want to use conditioner, mix a little with warm aloe vera juice and use that as a base for your stylers.
Bravo! I can't wait to try this technique.
I followed everything on my daughter hair but when it started drying, it just reverted. I ended up damping it and did finger coils. We were disappointed, she really wants to do a wash and go. we don't have same texture.
What about shinkage?
I pin my roots to keep it from shinkage
He is the best.
Thanks for the advice I'll try this tomorrow
It's the water that we use in our hair that makes it dry.I have filter I place in my shower it made a big difference in my hair and the product I use it made much softer.
Hello Anthony! Great video, very informative. Quick tip - Put a link to your website or page were we could buy the hair rules products, :0) Thanks again for your video.
I did the Dickie wash and go and I love it love it
also, can you show videos how to style with the wash my go? what do you do when you get clumps even after shaking like crazy?
I love you. You have so many tips that i think will be great for me . Thanks
Thank you, thank you! I was just about to give up🙌🏿
When i wet my hair down with conditioner I don't see curls, only bentonite clay gets my curls to show, then i haven't found a styler that actually keep my curl pattern. Is the curl lesson where you'd teach me this?
+Melly B. (The Real Melly B.) my hair used to be the same way until i realized my hair wasnt moisturized enough and i had to find ways to let water into my cuticles (i have low porosity hair)
Soundysue same low porosity but when my hair is super hydrated (after steaming with deep cond) it actually puffs up not defines
Melly B. i actually don't deep condition. for the longest i've only tried to moisturize my hair with only water and no conditioner which helped alot with keeping my curls defined when dry, though my hair would frizz up a couple of days after. and now recently i've been using conditioner thoroughly while my hair is soaking wet ( i apply it while still in the shower, i just step away from the running water) which helps even more since the conditioner helps trap water inside the cuticle, but i don't leave it in for too long since i looked into the science behind conditioner and realized it's unnecessary to leave it in longer than a few minutes. but in both cases i used ALOT of water, unlike before where i would avoid getting my hair soaking wet more than once a week. deep conditioning did nothing for me, only adding more water did. i don't think steaming it would be enough, especially with the conditioner in the way, blocking your cuticles from receiving more moisture. if you're gonna steam your hair, i suggest doing it right out of the shower with soaking wet hair, then applying conditioner afterwards.
ooo hmm i never thought of that thanks :-)
Melly B. no problem!
That’s confusing for me I’m low porosity 4c and shampoo are the BEST!
I detangle with my shampoo then conditioner rinse out add styling products soaked hair
I do shampoos Everytime I’m styling.
I hoping to eventually getting my hair healthy and using less products I just bleached
What is your opinion on texturizes for 4b/4c hair?
I use creme of nature and for some reason, my hair curls up more and is more detangled with the shampoo in than it does with the conditioner. Why is that? Does that mean I would just apply my styler after the shampoo instead? Also, does it have to be a styler or can it be a moisturizing lotion?
Very well explained. Thanks!
Thank you so much this entire process makes sense to me now! Thank you thank you
I tried it with my 4c going in to 5a hair [that's how kinky my hair is] and it worked.
I only do wash and goes. I’ve tried twist and braids but I didn’t like the results
Thanks for this video. Still learning.
How do you combat single strain knots in natural 4c hair? Does it need a trim?
What does he means by styling products? Like eco styling gel?
Yes
Genius
Have you ever tackled the wash n go on true 4C hair. it seems like most of the ladies you have videos on do not have real 4C hair. They have combination hair type with very little 4C type hair at all. Will you do a video with majority or all 4C hair type? that would be awsome. Beside the one things I see people do when they try and apply your method is the mess with their hair while its still wet, jacking up your method. I wanna see some one do this without messing it up by touching. I figure who better than you.
I agree 👍. True 4c hair chick here who would love to see REALLY kinky hair have a successful wash n go.
The different hair texture classifications are just a (highly flawed) guideline, there is no such thing as a "true" 4a, b, c, etc. It's just a visual range (created in the 90s by a black man who hated natural hair, but I digress), and has nothing to do with maintaining healthy natural hair. Why does everything have be demo'd in a video? Listen to what he is saying. The point of him describing the process in great detail is because everyone's texture pattern is different BUT these are basic hair care practices that apply to everyone with textured hair. That is his whole philosophy behind his book, hair products, and salon. Those concerned with wondering if this works on 4a, b, c, x, y, z and nitpicking on curl pattern are missing the whole point of what he is saying. And furthermore what makes a "successful" wash n go to you could be totally a "failure" to someone else. Yet another reason why the requested demo is useless.
Siobhan Gardner For kinkier textures.
After a few tryouts with this stuff it works but i still get better definition with gel. At least now i know drenched hair is the only way get maximum definition when styling a wash and go.
i'm a true 4c hair chick and his method has truly been the only method for me. I usually diffuse for about 20 minutes because the drying time on 4c is at least a 12 hour process. I thank the hair gods for finding you because was getting ready to go back to the perms I swear.
do you have to use kinky curly today or can you use your favorite conditioner??
Hello, I enjoyed the video on your natural hair styles. I have a question for you I'd love to have a great natural hair style, but in the past relaxed my hair. And now its thick in the root an straight on the ends. Love to have it done in your shop where r you located.
Thanks so much Dickey. I attend Taren's hair event in Dec and received gift bag. Finally used the Quench Conditioner and finish cream. Its been 7 months since bc and my curly afro looks so cute. Its imperative to wet and apply conditioner daily when wearing wash n go. Will applying water alone reactivate conditioner for next day hair. Please advise.

Hi. Right now on my scalp looks and feels like it is in bad condition. I feel scabs on my scalp and my scalp is very itchy. After I use regular shampoo. After about 1 day I see dandruff and experience itch. I seem to be struggling trying to get my scalp clean. My question is should I then start my week with a sulfate free shampoo just to try and remove the scab and dandruff and then every other day clean with water and then conditioner and capture my curls with my favorite styling product? My biggest struggle is my scalp.
My daughter is transitioning to natural hair. She currently is getting her hair done every 2 weeks just washed and flat ironed with no heat elements in between her bi-wkly hair appt visit. She is only 12 so we are not doing a big chop. Can you please advise on healthy hair tips for her transitioning to natural hair.
You are amazing!! Come to Austin!!
Thanks so much. Great advice.
I have the SAME PROBLEM! That and how to maintain my type 4a hair once I go to bed. It's not quite long enough for the pineapple, so what else can I do?
Look up the ponytail method! Thats what I did until my hair was long enough to pineapple.
Jerri Williams
Oh I will do that thanks.
Would you recommend eco styler gel?
are we supposed to use a leave in before applying the styling product?
yes!!!!
Great info
Dang it I just bought sulfate free shampoo by cantu And it suds but I de tangled with it and it worked pretty well. Should I return it because it does suds a lot?
By the way. I tried this method and it really worked!!
This is so helpful thank you!
Truly Thank You ..it helped Massively 💛💛💛💛💚
Hi Dicky, what would you do for someone like me who has two different hair textures keep her curl pattern. From the crown of my head back is wavy, curly and much more looser than the hair that is from the crown forward. That hair is much kinkier and thicker. The curls in the back last much longer and are more define than the front. Please help. Thank you in advance.
You should do more videos 😊
