Updated input on this routine: 1. This combo was too many humectants and it began to make my hair gummy. 2. This routine doesn't work in extremely high humidity. 3. I no longer touch my head with the diffuser as this can cause frizz. I hover the diffuser over wet areas. Also: 1. I do not base this routine working for me on hair type, but instead on a combination of the weather suited this technique, my hair is in the condition for it to work, and I am happy with the finish it produces. 2. My strand size is coarse and my surface texture is medium to cottony. 3. My curl artist approves of my product use of Curly Magic and The Doux Mousse Def for my hair. My product use and techniques are not recommendations for your own hair. I am simply sharing my hair care journey with learning different techniques, improving my product use, and adjusting methods and products to my asthma and allergies. I hope that my videos are a source of inspiration and fun.
FO. congratulations on finding the answer to your hair needs! Your hair looks shiny and great! I am a grandmother and I have been natural for about 9 years. I agree that you have to find the products that work best on your hair! I have some heat damage and I am interested in your process, so I will give a few of the products you listed a try. God bless you and thanks for sharing! Very helpful!
@@lorrainestinson1499 Hello! Thanks! Also I actually don't emphasize finding the right products. Hair health, technique, and then products can provide a satisfactory result. If I bought all the products you saw in this video and my hair was still damaged and I didn't know how to use the products my results would be poor.
I just love watching you progress in your hair journey! I got so tickled when you mentioned day dreaming during your wash day because I'll do the same thing lol. My hair is usually just so happy that I'm not pressed and I drift off into another world... and then realize I've been detangling for way too long! Great video as always love!
Love the video and how you put it out here this is not a tutorial but how you style your hair 🙌🏼🙌🏼! Keep the great content coming! Your curls are popping!! 🥰🥰
I recently learned to rake and smooth my hair and it has helped my wash n gos tremendously! Thank you for this video and I like how you talk about what you could have done better. I like how you always strive to improve.
My fav wash and go combo is UFD curly magic, topped w/Nature's Little Secret Irish moss styling cream. The styling cream gives an added medium hold. If I want to be extra, I'll finish with the Texture ID foam. It has a nice hold, and helps to speed up the air drying process. Your hair is bomb😍
It’s similar to me with the curly magic application. I can’t use any gels for that matter with soaking wet hair in the shower and added water. It gives my hair a squeaky/tangly feel, more frizz than my normal naked naked hair and that slippery texture of the gel disappears. It also drips all down my forehead and neck which is a waste to me and 100% irritating lol! I get better definition, shine and lasting results on wet hair that isn’t dripping and running. I have a short TWA and I get 3-4 days on less wet hair. Completely drenched hair gives me no days🤣🤣 ***I also noticed, when I use less water, my gels tend to froth up and adhere to my hair better than when it’s too wet, I’m thinking it’s diluting the product too much and sliding off.
Thank you for expressing what needs to be understood; it was informative and I even love the time line of the video (starting at the end, returning to the end. Loved the power of vulnerability, editing your video as well as critiquing your own work for the sake of improvement. Its a total different mindset than that of a competitive nature, a striving to prove one self...
I did my first WNG using Good Hair from UFD then applied Curly Magic, then mousse and it went so well, looked good even after 5 days and I got so many compliments on my hair. Your hair looks so good!
Fo! Your hair looks fantastic. I really appreciate your transparency and honesty. Your hair is healthy and thriving. I know it’s been a long journey, but it’s everything to find techniques and products that perform consistently! Continued happy hair days 🥰
I like how she took time to save water while detangling😆👍🏾 You mentioned working out. Really helps with hair growth but I find it hard to motivate myself 😩. What does your exercise routine look like? How do you stay motivated?
I work out with a trainer 3 days a week and she's just getting started so she was super affordable. Like 30 dollar a month to work out 3 times a week. I really lucked up. I also like to run. I feel free! And I also want to be stronger so that motivates me. Meaghan the Stallion knees on the way 🐎.
@@FoAdunni 🤣 @Megan Thee Stallion knees. Wow that is a really good price. I think Id do better if I had a partner or a trainer. Think for now I’ll start off walking around the neighborhood LOL
Frankly, your "old" wash and go looked so good; you had me at "hello."😍😍🤣🤣Your explanations before, during, and after were clear and easy to follow. I'm seeking a quick doo that adds style and moisture to my shorter hair. Now the ingredient research begins. Thank you!
You're making me want to try a wash and go again...I never thought of using mousse as a topper. I think I'll try that before I consider buying an expensive topper gel. Hopefully I get good results with this method!
Hey! Listen...I'm not saying this combo works for everyone thus the pinned disclaimer. What topper were you advised to use? Have you asked your stylist about a less expensive option? And also if the topper is I Create Hold, when I used to use the smallest full sized bottle it lasted me a while so I got my money's worth.
Hey 👋 Flo,, your wash and go's are so beautiful everytime. Your hair is most certainly thriving. Thanks for the good tips,, I enjoy your videos 👍💯 very helpful!!
You're the first person to get into detail and it help me a lot because i am learning how to make the curl work on my hair bur it is not as easy as some make it seam for me its hard bur i learned more today than ever. THANK you so much
your curls are gorgeous! and your routine is so effective. i also workout alot during the week and i struggle with getting my wash and go sets to last longer. your day 6 hair is INCREDIBLEEEE. like, my personal goal lol. by day 2/3 my sets turn into a wash and fro haha. thank you for sharing!
Hey Vanessa! My definition used to last a couple days. Around this time last year my hair was pretty frizzy. It took time and even I wasn't really expecting the way my hair behaves now. Also do you wear a buff when you workout to help wick the swear away?
@@FoAdunni thank you for taking the time to reply! That’s really helpful and so inspiring. I’ll continue to watch the progress of my hair. I don’t wear a buff but have heard a lot about it. Would that help with my sets?
@@vanessanyrko It can. It is recommended a lot by the stylist I learn from to wick away moisture but if you think anything else may be impacting your sets feel free to ask and if I know the answer or know a resource link I'll share it.
Your hair is so cute love the movement it has, your lippie is so cute I love a good black or brown lip and the glasses are popping as are your curls!!!!
Okay, I'm back. After watching this video, I decided to try this technique on my hair. And since I already had them, I even used the same styling products that you did. Literally, it was probably the best wash n go I've ever done in my life. I got so many compliments and was able to get the style to last 2 days (which for me is a HUGE accomplishment). It probably could have lasted another day, at least, if I hadn't played in my hair so much on day 2 and frizzed it up. 😅
Ehhh. Porosity is not that big of a deal to me. As long as my hair is in it's best health I'm doing good. I don't have a special hair porosity that creates ease.
Great video. Your hair came out looking Vogue ready!! I generally do my whole process while in the shower, but I'm a lazy natural. When I get out of the shower I want my hair routine to be finished. Right now I use Kenra Professional Clarifying shampoo and I like it but I might look into Malibu or Come Clean when I finish the Kenra. Even though I use Kinky Curly leave-in and styler I didn't know the shampoo was a clarifying poo.
@@FoAdunni Guess I better be a little naughty so I get my money's worth. 😂 😂 I really like the Kenra, but if kinky curly does as well I would prefer to use it.
wow this is VERY different from " usual"bgc technique. Really interesting, I'll be trying UFD out the shower for more control in application and hold as I'm still learning and have high density short hair. Thanks for sharing!
Yea. I learned what works for me, that's why I made sure to explain why I do certain things and I said it's not a tutorial but me sharing 🥰 if I was using the typical humectant base gel and antihumectant topper gel like Black Girl Curl I definitely would do things more like them.
@@FoAdunni I totally get it. Not a tutorial but your experience is helpful. Your technique and explanation helps me follow bgc and frame the techniques in my mind.
Great video! I go to a cutitkinky stylist . I agree that with uncle funkys when you do it In the shower and add more water you do get a softer hold even with another gel topper I like the hold better the way you did it out of the shower, that’s how i normally do it, adding water as needed. I’m going to try it with the Doux next wash day
Yass, not even playing… I never associated mousse with defined curls. I always associated it with stiff hair from them relaxing days lol. But when she added that moose at the end and I saw them curls pop I said whoaaaaaaaa!😃😂👌🏾💯.
In the shower or get it professionals done if i thought everyone was up to date on natural hair i would go to a styler because i will never get it right now because i had shoulder surgery a shoulder replacement so u am dealing with a lot
@@angelabrookins4743 ohh no I'm sorry to hear that. Wishing u a speedy recovery. My mom actually needs shoulder surgery. How was your experience and how is your recovery going?
The first 2 or 3 days are painful but after that my recovery went well yell her look at like this when surgery is over. Then comes recovery and its so worth it to be pain free. My shoulder replacement. Was so welcome for me i am glad its over. GOD. Bless. Your. Mom. My shoulder surgery last about 30 minutes no joke plus i got a shoulder replacement. When i woke up i. Knew my surgery was good i could tell the difference when i woke up but a lil pain is expected
@@angelabrookins4743 Aww thank you for sharing🙏🏾. The surgery is shorter than I thought. It will be so worth it to see her not in so much pain anymore🥺🥰
I do love a mousse and gel combo. I use Sebastian mousse forte & whatever gels are available locally outside of the States and are cost effective. The mousse goes on first followed by the gel. You hair came out great and has lots of movement. Maybe I'll try reversing the layering of the mousse and gel.
Omg I’m using the curly magic and it literally matted my hair up!! I deep conditioned and thoroughly detangled my hair with my wet brush . I rinsed it out and put the curly magic on and my hair felt like straw the minute I put in on. I mean my moisture wash GONE!!!
Thanks for the video! Your hair looks great! And I’ve also been going through some of your other videos which I find insightful. I’m also trying to simplify my hair and move towards better hair practices after a life of putting my hair through too much (I mean, out of fun but still. Lol). For now, I can’t join BGC and related online resources so I’m mostly finding what I can online (and finishing products I already have). Your points on your own application of products has been helpful for me when thinking about how I should do things.
Good to hear! Be sure to check out some of the none subscription resources in my description. Stylists give demos on instagram a lot and I watch them to learn to do things better. I can't join the BGC resources right now either but I'm always learning. Also in terms of products I hope it's not too stressful. Do you believe you have all you need?
@@FoAdunni ah, I don't have Instagram but I've found some info on twitter. For now re products I'm just working with what I have until I can try some better stuff. I know some of mine prob aren't ideal rn.
@@Chromagens You are doing such an amazing job. Working with what you have is so important. Also there is free info on UA-cam where people discuss the products on the 30 day detox list or products that are recommended by Hydra Bar Salon if you ever run out of things or need some guidance in the product arena.
Was recommended this, I love how your hair turned out!! Mostly I loved your honesty about product use and your own critiques, it's relatable and humbling
Thank you for this! I noticed too that when I redip my hair in the shower after applying uncle funkys, it makes my hair have less hold. I’m going to try your method. I was doing everything in the shower like Black Girl Curls.
Hi Fo, just finished watching your video for the second time and learned a great tip :) Using the moisturising conditioner after the clarifier shampoo! This maybe a better option than using the all purpose shampoo after the clarifier. Of course all depending on how clean the hair feel after the clarifier. Am amazed by how long you can keep your definition, especially with working out! I live in DC and now it’s pretty humid. I usually need a wash every 3-4 days, it’s my second months in this journey so sure have some practice to do.
Whew, yea an all purpose after a clarifier is wayyy to strong. I actually learned it's best to use a high quality moisturizing shampoo after a clarifier but I use my Curl Junkie Cleansing Conditioner that has cleansing agents because I currently don't have a moisturizing shampoo. Hope this helps!
I love your channel and your hair is so bomb. I use UFD, I create hold and Papaya slip for my wash n gos. I have fine low density hair. I never tried as I am leave in. Keep the videos coming.
Nice, your curls turned out lovely. I have been meaning to try the doux one day just to see how my results will be, but I haven't gotten around to making that purchase. UFD is definitely one of my staples. I currently love my results with the combo I am using. Thanks for sharing your experience 😊
I loveeeee this wash n go. I use uncle funkies and the doux big poppa to set! I just started my hydration journey back in march and your hair makes me so excited *cough impatient* to see my hair a year from now. I might try mousse def as a topper some time because that dry time is *heart eyes*
Hey Starr! I've heard of that combo before. Yea I can see that taking a while to dry. I'm happy you enjoyed the vid and you don't have to be impatient because I'm sure your hair is bomb.
Thank you so much for this video! I have been trying to get better results with my wash and go and I think your tips will help me get results that last longer 🙌🏾
I love your cut!! I use Uncle Funky's too...never thought to try mousse after it tho...I might try it to see what kind of results I get next time. TFS, your hair is beautiful!
Thanks for the compliment Brenda! I'm leery of discussions about texture because a lot of times people make incorrect assumptions about my hair and sometimes their own hair. What do you think my texture is? Also I avoid hair typing. Lastly, I will say this routine works well with my hair because my hair is hydrated, Ive been cleansing conditioning and styling my hair with quality products and procedures every 4 to 5 days for over 2 years, and I big chopped all my unhealthy natural hair.
Your videos are so helpful and honest, Fo! Appreciate you sharing your technique and application process and things you noticed that you would like to improve!! Thanks 🙏🏽
Thanks for posting! I was using way too much water and wasn’t getting enough hold! Today I washed my hair and didn’t add additional water after I got out of the shower and I had much better results!
Filming yourself can actually be very useful when carving out your regimen. I’ve noticed the “too much detangling” in some of my videos. It’s a time waster, honestly. lol
It's funny how that is. I had somewhere to be and I was able to wash, condition, detangle style and partially dry in like 1hr ...and then I realize how long I be in the shower singing, dancing to my music, going over sections unnecessarily and doing other foolishness some ways days 🙃🤣
Beautiful result! I am still growing my hair out from a big chop in January so I am not trying wash n go’s yet. Doing everything I can to elongate my curls...so made in a few more months I’ll have enough length to try your technique.
Hello Kelli! Thank you! I've actually been wearing wash n gos since my hair was a very short cut. My continually wearing wash n gos for over a year now has contributed to how defined my hair is currently. Also be sure to check out the free wash n go demo from Elaine (yes her studio) I have listed in my description because this video is moreso how I'm working through learning to style my hair.
Thanks for sharing your routine. I'm going to retry this combo tomorrow, minus the leave in. The combo worked well for me last week, but I went to heavy on the gel and mousse.
So great to see your hair flourishing 👍🏾. I wonder if the mousse can be applied before the gel? I saw vid where this was done and had same results. Thank🙏🏿
You’re so gorgeous seriously 🦋🦋🦋 It’s never crossed my mind about how tight i hold my hair and product retention and curl/wave retention! Will definitely be taking that into account now! 🙌🏽
One thing that I do that may be interesting: I mix all the products I’m going to put in my hair together and then apply that to my hair. Today I’m mixing Camille Rose Honey Leave-in, UFD, and The DOUX Big Papa (this is a new addition I’m trying out today).
Whew! My honest opinion...this sounds like way too many humectant-rich products to have hair that last. The Camille Rose leave-in is not needed if you are going in with a humectant-rich gel like UFD AND Big Poppa. Your hair may be super sticky and feel like it will never "dry" or it will easily get reactivated by outdoor elements.
I’ve since dropped the big papa. But the UFD without the honey leave-in, is just not as pretty results. I don’t use very much of the honey leave-in though which is why it doesn’t dry sticky. It does take pretty much all day to dry though, but the wash in go lasts about five days. Very soft hold which I prefer. The only thing I don’t like is my hair is foamy when I’m finished so I can’t just leave the house right after styling.
Thanks! And my cut is a Cut It Kinky cut by Silked by Sonnie. Two black stylists Aeleise and Aisha, of their organization Black Girl Curls, developed this cutting style, although they did take some base understanding from Deva, Ouidad, and other cosmetology sources.
I’m not wearing a wash and go but using this method of simply cleansing and conditioning without the use of any oils has changed my relationship with shampoo time for sure.
You have inspired me to try this wash n go/detox thing. I tried a wash n go once and it was a total failure but now I know it might have been the oils and butters. I also have hena in my hair so I'm not sure how well this is going to go. Wish me luck 🤞 Edit: Do you think because of the hena I should do the twist out instead of the wash n go?
Hello! According to the cosmetologists at See Some Curls/Black Girl Curls, henna won’t take to a wash-and-go: the coloring process of henna doesn’t allow moisture (water) to penetrate your strands, so a wash-and-go will always turn out badly. You either need to wait until the henna grows out, or do a big-chop.
After three years use, I stopped using henna about two years ago. I never had it cut out, my hair is now just above bra strap length, so I still have henna in my hair. I started the 30 day detox almost five weeks ago and my hair is loving it! My WNG's are getting better with each styling session. Try a WNG for a few weeks and see what happens. I LOVE this new process and my results!
@@naturalme6485 Let me know how it goes. It really is a process, which will include some fails. But, the three step WNG is so easy, I actually look forward to washing my hair weekly; some times within five days...
I'm going to attempt a wash and go, my hair is super fine and I never felt like I could achieve a wash and go, Unfortunately, I do not have.a hooded dryer but I do have a diffuser so I may not be able to achieve the same look
Light bulb moment!!! That tangling I experience after applying the UFD is from it looking up. I was thinking that my hair was over cleansed. After I remembered this video, I put a heater in the bathroom. Bad mistake for a menopausal woman. 🤦🏽♀️ I will try your method with the leave in and applying the UFD after I get out of the shower. Thank you!!!
@@FoAdunni YES!!!! I apply my leave- in in the shower. Everything else once I’m out. Thank you for sharing your journey. Your tips are very helpful. I try to follow the tips given by my curl specialist. However, sometimes I find that someone who is also doing their own hair, in their own home, can help with the little tweaks that make things a bit easier.
Yea, also consider that when I first started doing wash n gos this combo wouldn't have given me long lasting results. Doing wash n gos continuously and proper hair care since Dec 2019 helps give me long lasting definition.
Wow I feel like I just watched my own wash day lol - i use the same tools, but I do not use the moose as a topper. I use gel after my curl cream. I def use the hooded dryer 30s and then diffuse. I absolutely love your cut!!!
I think your tip about being gentle while you rake and smooth is going to be it for me. I always lose a lot of product when I pull it tight. I’m drying right now so we’ll see!! I’m also going to try drying for 10 minutes and then do a gentle shake
I hope your styling went great and also everyone's hair different thus my pinned disclaimer. You may need to experiment with when and how you shake your hair. Excited to hear your results!
@@FoAdunni your tip was great!! I see curls all around my head and I didn’t have to reapply product in any areas like I usually have had to because of how hard I was pulling. I tried shaking after 10 minutes and more sections of my hair moved than usual so I’ll play around with the dryer time. Thank you so much! I’m gonna send my results to my stylist :) love your channel!!
I never thought about applying the curly magic outside of the shower because my hair really won't last more than 4-5 days sometimes. Maybe it's something with my application. I'm going to try doing it on not soaking soaking wet hair cuz I be in the shower dipping my head under the shower and its dripping with water. Sometimes I think I'm rinsing the product out. Because when i went to my cut it kinky stylist she put the curly magic in my hair and then added water from a nozzled bottle. So it wasn't dripping, she added just enough water for it to really be held in there. so maybe im adding too much water. my curl maintenance appointment is on next Sunday so i will be sure to ask her about this. loveeeee your videos and love love your hair! when i went to my stylist for the first time i showed her like 5 of your pictures because I wanted your hair cut lol!
I'm super flattered Taelyn and I like the way you said your stylist applies product. Also 4 to 5 days is not bad. That is a while. By the time I get to day 4 or 5 my scalp is on fire from me sweating. I stretched this wash day to film and had to clarify my hair to cleanse my hair and also get some scalp relief.
Updated input on this routine:
1. This combo was too many humectants and it began to make my hair gummy.
2. This routine doesn't work in extremely high humidity.
3. I no longer touch my head with the diffuser as this can cause frizz. I hover the diffuser over wet areas.

Your hair is so cute love the movement it has, your lippie is so cute I love a good black or brown lip and the glasses are popping as are your curls!!!!
Okay, I'm back. After watching this video, I decided to try this technique on my hair. And since I already had them, I even used the same styling products that you did. Literally, it was probably the best wash n go I've ever done in my life. I got so many compliments and was able to get the style to last 2 days (which for me is a HUGE accomplishment). It probably could have lasted another day, at least, if I hadn't played in my hair so much on day 2 and frizzed it up. 😅
Hello Latriise! I'm so happy to hear this. I know everyone's hair and lifestyle is different so for it to work for you is dope.
It came out beautiful! You have that porosity I miss from my hair. Got to go back to basics! Thanks for sharing!
Ehhh. Porosity is not that big of a deal to me. As long as my hair is in it's best health I'm doing good. I don't have a special hair porosity that creates ease.
Great video. Your hair came out looking Vogue ready!! I generally do my whole process while in the shower, but I'm a lazy natural. When I get out of the shower I want my hair routine to be finished. Right now I use Kenra Professional Clarifying shampoo and I like it but I might look into Malibu or Come Clean when I finish the Kenra. Even though I use Kinky Curly leave-in and styler I didn't know the shampoo was a clarifying poo.
The kinky curly shampoo will strip you of sins 😈 😂😂😂
@@FoAdunni Guess I better be a little naughty so I get my money's worth. 😂 😂 I really like the Kenra, but if kinky curly does as well I would prefer to use it.
wow this is VERY different from " usual"bgc technique. Really interesting, I'll be trying UFD out the shower for more control in application and hold as I'm still learning and have high density short hair. Thanks for sharing!
Yea. I learned what works for me, that's why I made sure to explain why I do certain things and I said it's not a tutorial but me sharing 🥰 if I was using the typical humectant base gel and antihumectant topper gel like Black Girl Curl I definitely would do things more like them.
@@FoAdunni I totally get it. Not a tutorial but your experience is helpful. Your technique and explanation helps me follow bgc and frame the techniques in my mind.
10:41 “it’s because I daydream” 🤣 that cracked me up. That needs to be on a T-shirt.
😂😂😂
Thank you for this video. I finally get how to do this. I have watched and re watched. Many of your videos. Thanks again
You're welcome!
So glad I found you! Your hair is bomb! I'm still learning on the wash and go and appreciated this video!
Great video! I go to a cutitkinky stylist . I agree that with uncle funkys when you do it In the shower and add more water you do get a softer hold even with another gel topper I like the hold better the way you did it out of the shower, that’s how i normally do it, adding water as needed. I’m going to try it with the Doux next wash day
Yass, not even playing… I never associated mousse with defined curls. I always associated it with stiff hair from them relaxing days lol.
But when she added that moose at the end and I saw them curls pop I said whoaaaaaaaa!😃😂👌🏾💯.
In the shower or get it professionals done if i thought everyone was up to date on natural hair i would go to a styler because i will never get it right now because i had shoulder surgery a shoulder replacement so u am dealing with a lot
@@angelabrookins4743 ohh no I'm sorry to hear that. Wishing u a speedy recovery. My mom actually needs shoulder surgery. How was your experience and how is your recovery going?
The first 2 or 3 days are painful but after that my recovery went well yell her look at like this when surgery is over. Then comes recovery and its so worth it to be pain free. My shoulder replacement. Was so welcome for me i am glad its over. GOD. Bless. Your. Mom. My shoulder surgery last about 30 minutes no joke plus i got a shoulder replacement. When i woke up i. Knew my surgery was good i could tell the difference when i woke up but a lil pain is expected
@@angelabrookins4743 Aww thank you for sharing🙏🏾. The surgery is shorter than I thought. It will be so worth it to see her not in so much pain anymore🥺🥰
You go into detail so good which is very important for beginners like me omg thanks so much for taking your time WOW this has really help me thanks
Your hair is amazing 👏 😍 Bravo and thank you for sharing!!
Best wash and go video on UA-cam
I do love a mousse and gel combo. I use Sebastian mousse forte & whatever gels are available locally outside of the States and are cost effective. The mousse goes on first followed by the gel. You hair came out great and has lots of movement. Maybe I'll try reversing the layering of the mousse and gel.
Hi
Omg I’m using the curly magic and it literally matted my hair up!! I deep conditioned and thoroughly detangled my hair with my wet brush . I rinsed it out and put the curly magic on and my hair felt like straw the minute I put in on. I mean my moisture wash GONE!!!
Thanks for the video! Your hair looks great! And I’ve also been going through some of your other videos which I find insightful. I’m also trying to simplify my hair and move towards better hair practices after a life of putting my hair through too much (I mean, out of fun but still. Lol). For now, I can’t join BGC and related online resources so I’m mostly finding what I can online (and finishing products I already have). Your points on your own application of products has been helpful for me when thinking about how I should do things.
Good to hear! Be sure to check out some of the none subscription resources in my description. Stylists give demos on instagram a lot and I watch them to learn to do things better. I can't join the BGC resources right now either but I'm always learning. Also in terms of products I hope it's not too stressful. Do you believe you have all you need?
@@FoAdunni ah, I don't have Instagram but I've found some info on twitter. For now re products I'm just working with what I have until I can try some better stuff. I know some of mine prob aren't ideal rn.
@@Chromagens You are doing such an amazing job. Working with what you have is so important. Also there is free info on UA-cam where people discuss the products on the 30 day detox list or products that are recommended by Hydra Bar Salon if you ever run out of things or need some guidance in the product arena.
This is the best wash and go I have ever seen. Beautiful!
Thanks!
Was recommended this, I love how your hair turned out!! Mostly I loved your honesty about product use and your own critiques, it's relatable and humbling
Thanks!
Thank you for this! I noticed too that when I redip my hair in the shower after applying uncle funkys, it makes my hair have less hold. I’m going to try your method. I was doing everything in the shower like Black Girl Curls.
I’m going to try this as well. Have you tried the doux foam over UFD curly magic?
What is your topper? When I used to dip my head back in the shower with UFD and I was using ICH I still got a pretty strong hold.
What's your topper?
@@FoAdunni My topper is Mousse Def. I noticed no more water for you after you apply the Mousse Def.
I think I need to shake my hair a bit more after styling. I have the definition but not as much movement when I shake. My hair clumps together.
Your hair is gorgeous. You were detailed in your video.
Great video! Your hair is gorgeous
Hi Fo, just finished watching your video for the second time and learned a great tip :) Using the moisturising conditioner after the clarifier shampoo! This maybe a better option than using the all purpose shampoo after the clarifier. Of course all depending on how clean the hair feel after the clarifier.
Am amazed by how long you can keep your definition, especially with working out! I live in DC and now it’s pretty humid. I usually need a wash every 3-4 days, it’s my second months in this journey so sure have some practice to do.
Whew, yea an all purpose after a clarifier is wayyy to strong. I actually learned it's best to use a high quality moisturizing shampoo after a clarifier but I use my Curl Junkie Cleansing Conditioner that has cleansing agents because I currently don't have a moisturizing shampoo. Hope this helps!
I love your channel and your hair is so bomb. I use UFD, I create hold and Papaya slip for my wash n gos. I have fine low density hair. I never tried as I am leave in. Keep the videos coming.
Thanks Tammy!
Nice, your curls turned out lovely. I have been meaning to try the doux one day just to see how my results will be, but I haven't gotten around to making that purchase. UFD is definitely one of my staples. I currently love my results with the combo I am using. Thanks for sharing your experience 😊
Your hair looks AMAZING! And so shiny!
I loveeeee this wash n go. I use uncle funkies and the doux big poppa to set! I just started my hydration journey back in march and your hair makes me so excited *cough impatient* to see my hair a year from now. I might try mousse def as a topper some time because that dry time is *heart eyes*
Hey Starr! I've heard of that combo before. Yea I can see that taking a while to dry. I'm happy you enjoyed the vid and you don't have to be impatient because I'm sure your hair is bomb.
Nice simple routine, not too many products. Thank you so much for sharing🥰
Thank you so much for this video! I have been trying to get better results with my wash and go and I think your tips will help me get results that last longer 🙌🏾
I love your cut!! I use Uncle Funky's too...never thought to try mousse after it tho...I might try it to see what kind of results I get next time. TFS, your hair is beautiful!
Wow, beautiful. I don't have your texture, but I will definitely try your method! I have 4B/C fine cotton like hair.
Thanks for the compliment Brenda! I'm leery of discussions about texture because a lot of times people make incorrect assumptions about my hair and sometimes their own hair. What do you think my texture is? Also I avoid hair typing. Lastly, I will say this routine works well with my hair because my hair is hydrated, Ive been cleansing conditioning and styling my hair with quality products and procedures every 4 to 5 days for over 2 years, and I big chopped all my unhealthy natural hair.
Thanks
Your videos are so helpful and honest, Fo! Appreciate you sharing your technique and application process and things you noticed that you would like to improve!! Thanks 🙏🏽
Thanks Sarai!
Thanks for posting! I was using way too much water and wasn’t getting enough hold! Today I washed my hair and didn’t add additional water after I got out of the shower and I had much better results!
Filming yourself can actually be very useful when carving out your regimen. I’ve noticed the “too much detangling” in some of my videos. It’s a time waster, honestly. lol
Yes! I learned a lot from watching myself
It's funny how that is. I had somewhere to be and I was able to wash, condition, detangle style and partially dry in like 1hr ...and then I realize how long I be in the shower singing, dancing to my music, going over sections unnecessarily and doing other foolishness some ways days 🙃🤣
@@sart1348 sis this is 👏🏽self 👏🏽care...do your thang 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽😂😩🤣
Beautiful result! I am still growing my hair out from a big chop in January so I am not trying wash n go’s yet. Doing everything I can to elongate my curls...so made in a few more months I’ll have enough length to try your technique.
Hello Kelli! Thank you! I've actually been wearing wash n gos since my hair was a very short cut. My continually wearing wash n gos for over a year now has contributed to how defined my hair is currently. Also be sure to check out the free wash n go demo from Elaine (yes her studio) I have listed in my description because this video is moreso how I'm working through learning to style my hair.
Thanks for sharing your routine. I'm going to retry this combo tomorrow, minus the leave in. The combo worked well for me last week, but I went to heavy on the gel and mousse.
Hi! I'm from Brazil! Thank you for share!
So great to see your hair flourishing 👍🏾. I wonder if the mousse can be applied before the gel? I saw vid where this was done and had same results. Thank🙏🏿
Loved the video. Hair looks so shiny and curly
You’re so gorgeous seriously 🦋🦋🦋
It’s never crossed my mind about how tight i hold my hair and product retention and curl/wave retention! Will definitely be taking that into account now! 🙌🏽
Thanks! And I know right. I heard Elaine, the stylist over at Yes Her Studio mention it.
One thing that I do that may be interesting: I mix all the products I’m going to put in my hair together and then apply that to my hair. Today I’m mixing Camille Rose Honey Leave-in, UFD, and The DOUX Big Papa (this is a new addition I’m trying out today).
How did it turn out?
@@naturalme6485 the curls were very pretty. I’m going to continue to use this combination, but I need to tweak the amounts of each product.
Whew! My honest opinion...this sounds like way too many humectant-rich products to have hair that last. The Camille Rose leave-in is not needed if you are going in with a humectant-rich gel like UFD AND Big Poppa. Your hair may be super sticky and feel like it will never "dry" or it will easily get reactivated by outdoor elements.
I’ve since dropped the big papa. But the UFD without the honey leave-in, is just not as pretty results. I don’t use very much of the honey leave-in though which is why it doesn’t dry sticky. It does take pretty much all day to dry though, but the wash in go lasts about five days. Very soft hold which I prefer. The only thing I don’t like is my hair is foamy when I’m finished so I can’t just leave the house right after styling.
Your hair looks absolutely amazing! I love the definition and shine... Your diva cut is serving huni. Your are just gorgeous ☺️👍🏽
Thanks! And my cut is a Cut It Kinky cut by Silked by Sonnie. Two black stylists Aeleise and Aisha, of their organization Black Girl Curls, developed this cutting style, although they did take some base understanding from Deva, Ouidad, and other cosmetology sources.
@@FoAdunni OK. Well they did an amazing job. It looks fantastic
@@hausofrlateish thanks!
This whole look is serving. 🔥😍
This helped me to trouble shoot the issues I was having. Thank you so much!
You're welcome!
I’m not wearing a wash and go but using this method of simply cleansing and conditioning without the use of any oils has changed my relationship with shampoo time for sure.
You have the absolute best videos showing this method. Thank you for sharing!
You have inspired me to try this wash n go/detox thing. I tried a wash n go once and it was a total failure but now I know it might have been the oils and butters. I also have hena in my hair so I'm not sure how well this is going to go. Wish me luck 🤞
Edit: Do you think because of the hena I should do the twist out instead of the wash n go?
Hi! I'm not sure. Your hair characteristics will play a roll in what style is best for you.
Hello! According to the cosmetologists at See Some Curls/Black Girl Curls, henna won’t take to a wash-and-go: the coloring process of henna doesn’t allow moisture (water) to penetrate your strands, so a wash-and-go will always turn out badly. You either need to wait until the henna grows out, or do a big-chop.
After three years use, I stopped using henna about two years ago. I never had it cut out, my hair is now just above bra strap length, so I still have henna in my hair. I started the 30 day detox almost five weeks ago and my hair is loving it! My WNG's are getting better with each styling session. Try a WNG for a few weeks and see what happens. I LOVE this new process and my results!
@@rinawallace1962 Thanks 😊 I'm going to try next weekend. Let's see how these itsy bitsy curls turn out.
@@naturalme6485 Let me know how it goes. It really is a process, which will include some fails. But, the three step WNG is so easy, I actually look forward to washing my hair weekly; some times within five days...
Very clear explanations through each step of the process. Excellent video!
Thanks Amina!
Great results again!
Thanks Joy!
Turned out beautifully
Your hair is GOALS! I can't wait until mine grows out some!
I'm going to attempt a wash and go, my hair is super fine and I never felt like I could achieve a wash and go, Unfortunately, I do not have.a hooded dryer but I do have a diffuser so I may not be able to achieve the same look
Literally the definition and movement I need
I'm sure your hair is awesome 😎
@@FoAdunni how long does your whole wash day routine take?
@@yanna2442 with the daydreaming and singing 2 hr 30 min to cleanse, condition, style my hair, and sit under the dryer
Hi Fo, your hair is very pretty! Great tips and nice video!😊
Her hair came out beautiful.❤️❤️
You are my key to success i LOVE. U. And don't even know u now i understand how that's possible. Thank you so so much
Just started watching many of your videos. Thank you! 💕 Subscribed
You're welcome and welcome to the channel Melinda!
Light bulb moment!!! That tangling I experience after applying the UFD is from it looking up. I was thinking that my hair was over cleansed. After I remembered this video, I put a heater in the bathroom. Bad mistake for a menopausal woman. 🤦🏽♀️ I will try your method with the leave in and applying the UFD after I get out of the shower. Thank you!!!
Hey! Did it work?
@@FoAdunni YES!!!! I apply my leave- in in the shower. Everything else once I’m out. Thank you for sharing your journey. Your tips are very helpful. I try to follow the tips given by my curl specialist. However, sometimes I find that someone who is also doing their own hair, in their own home, can help with the little tweaks that make things a bit easier.
@@Mande30 yaaaay! So happy things are working out!
Yes, that's beautiful. Great job:)
I tried this on my hair. My hair felt amazing. Now all I need is to increase the hold. Thank you for sharing
Yea, also consider that when I first started doing wash n gos this combo wouldn't have given me long lasting results. Doing wash n gos continuously and proper hair care since Dec 2019 helps give me long lasting definition.
Thanks for sharing your routine and interesting you add mousse after gel! I do it the other way around 😆
I might try that one day!
Wow I feel like I just watched my own wash day lol - i use the same tools, but I do not use the moose as a topper. I use gel after my curl cream. I def use the hooded dryer 30s and then diffuse. I absolutely love your cut!!!
Thanks Shal! Happy our processes relate!
I think your tip about being gentle while you rake and smooth is going to be it for me. I always lose a lot of product when I pull it tight. I’m drying right now so we’ll see!! I’m also going to try drying for 10 minutes and then do a gentle shake
I hope your styling went great and also everyone's hair different thus my pinned disclaimer. You may need to experiment with when and how you shake your hair. Excited to hear your results!
@@FoAdunni your tip was great!! I see curls all around my head and I didn’t have to reapply product in any areas like I usually have had to because of how hard I was pulling. I tried shaking after 10 minutes and more sections of my hair moved than usual so I’ll play around with the dryer time. Thank you so much! I’m gonna send my results to my stylist :) love your channel!!
@@thenotespace4561 Great! I love having you here!
Sis! This video is gold! Thank you sooooooo much! Much love 💘
I never thought about applying the curly magic outside of the shower because my hair really won't last more than 4-5 days sometimes. Maybe it's something with my application. I'm going to try doing it on not soaking soaking wet hair cuz I be in the shower dipping my head under the shower and its dripping with water. Sometimes I think I'm rinsing the product out. Because when i went to my cut it kinky stylist she put the curly magic in my hair and then added water from a nozzled bottle. So it wasn't dripping, she added just enough water for it to really be held in there. so maybe im adding too much water. my curl maintenance appointment is on next Sunday so i will be sure to ask her about this. loveeeee your videos and love love your hair! when i went to my stylist for the first time i showed her like 5 of your pictures because I wanted your hair cut lol!
I'm super flattered Taelyn and I like the way you said your stylist applies product. Also 4 to 5 days is not bad. That is a while. By the time I get to day 4 or 5 my scalp is on fire from me sweating. I stretched this wash day to film and had to clarify my hair to cleanse my hair and also get some scalp relief.
@@FoAdunni that’s true , because i workout as well . and my scalp literally starts itching after 5 days too 😂
I have both UFD and the doux, i need to try this combo!
Hair goals. Great job.
Your hair is absolutely gorgeous! The bounce is next level!
Very pretty, you make this look so easy. But the shaking while it’s wet I need to remember.
Thanks Carmen! It's muscle memory. I've been doing wash n goes every 4 to 5 days since Dec 2019.
Your hair is gorgeous! ❤️
Thanks for sharing your routine! I appreciate it!
Thanks Michelle! I talked to your stylist @yesherstudio she is dope.
Wow! I never tried this combo even though I have both of these products 🤣 maybe my next wash and go.
Your hair looks amazing!
Thanks!
I have to try the mousse topper combo. Curly Magic is my favorite gel…but it is my too sticky in the summer.
Understandable. It can get reactivated by the environment. With how I use it I haven't experienced stickiness.
Gorgeous! Shiny, healthy, gorgeous! 👏🏽
I'm from Brazil! Thank you for share!
