Love all your videos! Every time I get lazy I remember “Brittany probably washed her hair twice this week, you can do this one” 😂 UFD + ICV, or Kinky curly have been my current go to’s, but you’ve put me on to trying Ouidad and I love their products too.
I've decided as of this month I am going to live Wash and Go Lifestyle, as it is the only style I seem to get right on my own with an affordable budget. I definitely plan to invest in the Kinky Curl system, I've watched videos with you using it and was amazed at the results. Awesome video.
I have been waiting on your best combos video since I started watching your weekly wash n go's, and I am so glad you gave the tea on the dryness of gel only wash n go's for type 4 hair....I thought I was doing something wrong
My favorite three product combos are Kinky Curly knot today, Rhyme and Reason peach leave in, and UFD curly magic, or Bask and Bloom more moisture cream, Bask and Bloom mango castor twisting cream, and UFD curly magic. I don’t mind oil being formulated in products either, I just don’t add straight oil to my hair or scalp.
Amazing video! LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE your videos. You are the reason why my wash and go turned out AMAZING! I get so many compliments. My favorite combo is “Curly Magic & The Doux Mouse” Freaking love this combo! So Thank you! Side Note: Where did you get your earrings?
I love using the Curly Magic now! Thanks to your videos! I love using it for my gel only washngos as my first gel. & then i out a cheaper one on top, eco or Wetline 😍
I use Curly Magic and I Create hold and I use these without deep conditioning or leave in but my hair is shiny and moisturized. I haven’t tried I Create volume yet but I will.
Love the background of your home, and with the sweater you are wearing, it looks so cozy there. Its here! I have been waiting since you mentioned you'd make this video. My fave combo is UFD Curly magic (never fails me), Ouidad Advanced Climate Control Stronger Hold. Interested in hearing about your 3 day wash schedule. I wish I could do that too, but weekly washes seems to be the less stressful way for me.
I so appreciate that! I’m still testing out my background in my sit-down videos. Love that combo. That’s understandable. It can be a lot to go through wash day twice a week. I’m excited to let you guys in more on why soon.
I feel almost the exact same way about the Quiet Calm Curl Control! It’s a little TOOOO softening for me so it does just give FRIZZ and POOF. Also, you look great, your hair looks great, love the lip color 💖 keep doing your thang boo! Tuning in for the next vid! 😘
When I first went natural with a big chop I washed my coils twice and week. Fast forward to now two years later I only wash once a week. I honestly feel like my coils thrived more when washed twice a week so I’m seriously considering going back to how I started. Just wondering if my coils will react negatively because I want be washing because my coils are weighed down with products for the most part I wash and put my coils away in twists. I’m excited to see your new routine.
The kinky curly system is THE TRUTH. Honestly, worth every penny. It may not seem like a lot of product, but if you just add water it can last you. Soft hold? Use less gel, more water. Hard hold? More gel, less water. And the shampoo smells heavenly omg
I was little nervous at first - like no Kinky Curly 😔 then Boom! I love that system as well. Today I stocked up on the Knot Today from Sally's (50% off) and will be checking if the custard is on sale tomorrow for their 12 days of Christmas. Thank you for this video!
I read your comment yesterday and sprinted to Sally’s LMAO. I picked up the only two and I also picked up some more of my Ouidad moisture-lock leave-in. Thank you for commenting!
@@dariapio1502 I am so freaking hyped right now I’m about to stock up on all of the kinky curly custard!!! There will be none left on the shelves, and that is a promise 😂
Excellent upload-- thanks for sharing your favorite combos. Kinky Curly is my go-to topper over UFD / CRN Curl Maker / As I am Jelly. Love the simple, clean ingredients, and consistent performance. TGIN Green Tea Leave-in w/ UFD and KC as a topper is one of my low-glycerine favs.
Glad to hear about your favorite combos. I hear that wash and go's should not be used with a leave-in; however, you have to do what works best for your hair. It really boils down to what combination works best, with or without a leave in. It also depends on what results you are looking to achieve.
When styling for a wash and go, after rinsing out your deep conditioner, a lot of stylists go right into the base gel (i.e. Uncle Funky Daughter) to define or enhance your curl pattern. If you use a leave in, it may not mix well with the gel because of the oils in the leave ins. In essence, it may inhibit the base gel's performance. Some people do not have a problem when using leave ins.
Yes, I’ve heard the same. But after trial and error, I found that, as you said, it really depends on what look I’m trying to achieve. The look, that I love has movement, bounce and not much stiffness. I like to use leave-in to counteract some of that hold from a gel. I’ve also found that surface texture plays a role in whether you can achieve this with or without a leave-in and I cannot.
Water-based leave-ins with very little oil are what I’ll be diving more into in the future. The kinky curly knot today, for example, is one of my favorites it’s oil free.
I agree Brittany. The Water-based leave ins are the best. Not a lot I am able to find. Sometimes you can get by with Hair milks, depending on the formula.
I’ve been sticking to the ufd and Jelloshot on top and that’s given me beautiful curls each time… I like the hold of stronger gels because my surface texture is soft so I need something ngl to hold during the week. Weeks I protective style I still base gel with ufd(leave in) the top with shea moisture curl enhancing styling cream ( the ingredients seemed updated and are actually really good)
I still need to try Jelloshot. I’m interested about trying a cream on top of a gel since I haven’t had luck with that so far. it’s some thing I’ll try to do in the future and test out. Good to know that they updated their ingredients as well! Thanks for sharing.
I appreciate the serie so much ! I've been using curly magic and I create hold all year.. It never failed.. I agree kinky curly (the leave in and custard) system is bomb. (I've been using it too). Since I can't not find curly magic on the ground I had to purchase another botanical gel (Camille rose curl marker). It's giving but I do prefer curly magic (wich I neve expected). I will probably purchase some Ouidad product because I was impressed by your result. I will probably purchase Ecoslay geloshot gel since it's a botanical one.
Thank you. I still need to try the Curl Maker again. It’s been a while. I’ve heard great things about Ecoslay. Once I run out of more of my curly magic, I’m gonna have to pick that up and see what it do ➿
If you’re in the states Curly Magic can be found at Target (a smaller size 12 oz I think 🤔. I usually get mine during Black Friday from the company so I can get to salon size they are usually buy one get one half off (I think 🤔).😂😂
Hey Soror! Thank you for sharing your hair health journey with us! I love your videos and how honest and straightforward you have been. Your weekly wash & gos motivate me to keep pushing in my journey! I'm so grateful to have found you! Right now I don't have a favorite combo because I just learned after I big chopped for maybe the 4th time that I need to use lighter products for my hair. I was using creams and a gel and it was always a horrible mix even with popular products people rave about. I really want to try Innersense & UFD Curly Magic but Im trying to find ways to use up my current stash so I can and later buy new products that actually work for my hair, and possibly discover bomb combos from what I already have. 🎀♥🎀
Hey 👋🏾 so glad I could help. I understand about trying to use up your current stash for sure. Especially when there’s products that you feel would be more beneficial for your hair, health and styles. I’m a big believer and giving things away when I can’t repurpose them, but I also always trying to see how I can use them before I give them away. Keep me updated on your journey!
I’m a newbie to your channel and a die heart UFD with Pattern leave in base. It gives me a week with mid-week refresh of leave in conditioner. Looking forward to trying some of your recommendations! Thank you 😊
I like to switch it up too with combos but My top 3 this year are curly magic +I create hold + bamboo ginseng, then curly magic+ bee girl and then Nefertiti secret gel + I create hold. Those combos give me 7 day longevity for my dense hair. When I use cream my set doesn’t last three days 😢 I’m surprised you didn’t have bamboo ginseng on that list.
You know, I was going to put it as honorable mention, but it took too long to break the cast for the look that I like, but it’s perfect for longevity. And it smells really good. But the highly concentrated products that give more hold tend to be my least favorite as of late. I still need to try the Nefertiti secret gel!
@@heyhi1764 I add more water 💦 After I apply bee girl as a topper gel and I don’t need much, like quarter size each section. It loves water like UFD. I make sure the water I’m adding is warm too. It seems to help with distribution of the product.
I love Miche Beauty’s Lavish Leave In, Sculpt gel and Set Mousse. My favorite combo right now. They had a 40% off Black Friday deal. I got 4 Mousses. I already had 3 Sculpt gels and 2 1/2 bottles of Lavish Leave In. Your hair is so thick and beautiful. The next one would be Lavish Leave In UFD and I Create Hold and last but not least is Lavish Leave In UFD and Jello Shot by Ecoslay.
I've been dealing with frizz lately with gel wash n gos and I just realized it may be because I haven't used a leave-in or a deep conditioner in a long time 🤦🏾♀! I just need to find leave-ins or a deep conditioner that isn't so heavy or oil based that it causes product residue. I need to look into the ouidad leave-ins the sound great!! Mousse only works for me to refresh 2 days before wash day as well.
I did this wash and go without deep conditioning and I can tell the difference vs when I DC. I tried to cowash for the first time in a while, and I hated it! One of my favorite deep conditioners to this day is the TGIN Honey miracle hair mask. It leaves my hair, feeling so hydrated and soft. I don’t know if you use that one before, but I highly suggest it.
Hi Brittany Mia… Great video and right on time for me. I am going to start doing more wash n go’s and I needed these suggestions. I have a lot of UFD products I have yet to use. Your hair is beautiful… i admire the consistent care you take. Thanks for sharing.😊
@@BrittanyMia I know what you mean. That’s why many state to take pictures. The shrinkage be having you think you are stagnant 💯 But I definitely see a difference in length in your hair. You and your hair are beautiful. Quick question, have you ever had anyone say you remind them of Beyoncé or Solange? I swear every since I laid eyes on you (a few months back) and heard your voice I keep getting those vibes every time 💯
I still like to use a leave in too. I also find it helps with applying the gel and even elongates my hair. My favorite combos are curly magic with I create hold and curly magic with jello shot when I want my hair to last. When I want a quick drying wash n go I use trelux reflex curl serum with the doux's honey mousse and when I want fluffy wash n go I use curly magic with the doux's honey mousse and curly magic with natures little secret okra gel. They give beautiful soft results but only last 3 or 4 days.
Yes, to the elongation, I can see that. I can’t wait to try Jelloshot. I’ve heard it has really good hold. As my hair has gotten longer, I’ve noticed it’s not giving the body It once gave so I may have to drive back into the realm of mousse. Thanks for sharing!
Nice combos. My favorite is a one-and-done with just UFD Curly Magic. Two product combos are UFD and ICH, UFD and Obia Curl Enhancing Custard, Obia leave-in and Obia Custare, The original Curl Mix 3 & 4, Kinky-Curly system, and the Treluxe System. I haven't tried any three product combos.
Thank you for this series! My staple combo is the Kinky Curly system, but for the last couple months I’ve been trying out Camille Rose’s Coconut Water leave-in with Camille Rose Curl Maker. It’s yielded results comparable to the Kinky Curly, but my Camille Rose wash & go’s look good for a full week (maybe longer if I went more than 7 days without washing), vs the 4 to 5 days I usually get with Kinky Curly. I’d be interested to see you do a wash and go video with that combination in the future. Be well!
0:26 - you just said something about your sunscreen and eye creases and girl I ain’t even notice what you was talkin bout. You look DAMN GOOD! I ain’t even get into the whole video yet but I just had to say that lmao. You look bomb! Don’t apologize for your face 😂
Can you try the Melanin hair care line, but use the elongating twisting cream and multi use leave in as a base and than a topper gel of your choice. I usually use the quidad climate control gel as my topper and my curls are consistently more elongated than they would usually be and i get no crunch either.
I’ve tried the melanin hair care line before, and it wasn’t my favorite. It’s been a while, but I ended up giving those products away to my nieces. However, I haven’t tried them since before I big chopped, and I’m interested to see how the results would be with a wash and go now. I’ll put that down on my list of products to try 🙂
@@BrittanyMia I tried mielle, camille rose, narobi and design essentials. My hair isnt in the best shape but I would said miele is the best and narobi is very soft . I got another trim so I might try that combo again. But this wash week I plan on using kinky curly with jello shot😀. M
If you're planning to wash your hair every couple days now, has that changed your priorities for what products do for you? Is longevity in regard to definition and hold important if you'll be washing the day it fails?
It absolutely has. I’m going to be testing out other products that aren’t so focused on hold and longevity. I haven’t been getting the volume and fluff that I used to get with leaving and cream only wash and go’s before I big chopped my hair and learned how to use botanical gels and waterbase gels for my wash and go’s. I’m going to start re-implementing some older products I used to use and see how they work with my routine nowadays. I’m still seeking great definition, just not in the same way, as before where hold was required. That was a great question, thank you for asking!
I’m in a love hate relationship with Curl Magic! 😂 It gives me very soft hair and STICKY! But I’m still learning, I heard I should use a lot of water when I use it.
@@BrittanyMia Well you’ve given me hope! I’m excited to hear about your new changes. One last question! Do you wear your wash n gos during winter months?
@@meeikothompson I wear wash and go’s year round. Ever since I big chopped in 2020 that’s all I’ve done. Anytime I do a protective style I immediately want to take it out, and it’s honestly more inconvenient than wash and go’s for me.
@@BrittanyMia Yeah I noticed that. I also noticed the growth of your hair too! And the first thing came to mind was it’s not just about protective styles but routine!
@@meeikothompson exactly! I spent most of my life trying to grow out my hair utilizing protective styles, and then I realized that all I want to do is wear my hair in it’s naturally curly state all the time. So if I was wearing nothing but protective styles, I wouldn’t (and didn’t) know how to do my hair the way I actually wanted to wear it. It took for me getting so bored with my protective styling that I turned to a Dominican blowout and essentially changed my curls health to realize this lol. I was pretty long-winded, lol but routine is everything, and even within consistency you can get some unexpected setbacks. But, it’s all part of the journey!
So I recently shaved a majority of my hair off, so the only style I can really do now is wash-n-go's. When my hair was longer, I could never seem to find a gel that was the best at taming my frizz. Now that I'm starting over, I want to stay consistent and see how the melanin multi-use leave-in and the ouidad stronger hold gel works for my hair P.s. Would any future video ideas include a montage of how your hair has changed/looked from the start of the year to the end?
You got this! Not that you asked, but if I were starting over I would start doing wash and go sets every few days like every 3 to 4 days or more to keep the moisture in my hair, and once you get consistent in a routine with that, your hair will be so used to the moisture that it’s almost like you’ve trained your curls because they’re so hydrated. You know, that’s a great idea. I’m not too sure if I’ll get that done this year but I’ll add that to my future plans.
Thank you for your summary. I'm always on the lookout for a good combo. One question, do you deal with a lot of humidity? I find that some combos dont work year round or when its either too dry or humid.
I do deal with quite a bit of humidity, but I’m not outside as much these days. Even when I was, the uncle funky’s daughter curly magic and some type of topper gel managed to do the trick! But a cream would make my hair feel heavy.
Nope. I didn’t include them because they gave me really strong hold and I think I need to play around with them a little more in order to use them in a way that doesn’t give me a strong cast the first few days. I liked them a lot, just a little more of a learning curve still.
So happy for finding your channel this year.
Glad you find the content helpful!
Me too!!
Love all your videos! Every time I get lazy I remember “Brittany probably washed her hair twice this week, you can do this one” 😂
UFD + ICV, or Kinky curly have been my current go to’s, but you’ve put me on to trying Ouidad and I love their products too.

Love this! I can't wait to see your 2023 faves
I agree with leave in. It softens my hair and detangles it. I’ve tried without it but my hair feel much better with it

3days is the most I get from Mousse Def alone. I have to go back to Kinky Curly Knot Today. I used these years ago before I knew what I was doing.
It’s definitely worth revisiting.

I loved your week 22 results! I think that’s also when you showed us shampoo detangling for the first time. Your day 6 curls looked like day 1 or 2!
I loved week 22 as well, but I prefer the advanced climate control stronger hold over the moisturizing styling gel. It was!
The kinky curly system is THE TRUTH. Honestly, worth every penny. It may not seem like a lot of product, but if you just add water it can last you. Soft hold? Use less gel, more water. Hard hold? More gel, less water. And the shampoo smells heavenly omg

@@curlynella1011 thank you. Lol yes, people do tell me that. It’s a compliment, but sometimes I don’t know how to take it because I don’t see it 😅
@@BrittanyMia it has to be try if you heard it more than once 💯 I can’t explain it but I get those vibes.
More videos like this please in 2022. i like moisturized and Strong hold no crunch wash and go's. I hate crunch. Which was most moisturizing.
I still like to use a leave in too. I also find it helps with applying the gel and even elongates my hair. My favorite combos are curly magic with I create hold and curly magic with jello shot when I want my hair to last. When I want a quick drying wash n go I use trelux reflex curl serum with the doux's honey mousse and when I want fluffy wash n go I use curly magic with the doux's honey mousse and curly magic with natures little secret okra gel. They give beautiful soft results but only last 3 or 4 days.
Yes, to the elongation, I can see that. I can’t wait to try Jelloshot. I’ve heard it has really good hold. As my hair has gotten longer, I’ve noticed it’s not giving the body It once gave so I may have to drive back into the realm of mousse. Thanks for sharing!
I love the look of theseeeeeee!!!
💃🏾
Nice combos. My favorite is a one-and-done with just UFD Curly Magic. Two product combos are UFD and ICH, UFD and Obia Curl Enhancing Custard, Obia leave-in and Obia Custare, The original Curl Mix 3 & 4, Kinky-Curly system, and the Treluxe System. I haven't tried any three product combos.
UFD alone is something I haven’t tried in a while, but yes. Bomb. Treluxe and Curl Mix are some I need to try.
@@BrittanyMia Curl Mix has changed the #4 part. The gels come in several strengths now and I haven't tried them yet. Still have the old set.
Thank you for this series!
My staple combo is the Kinky Curly system, but for the last couple months I’ve been trying out Camille Rose’s Coconut Water leave-in with Camille Rose Curl Maker. It’s yielded results comparable to the Kinky Curly, but my Camille Rose wash & go’s look good for a full week (maybe longer if I went more than 7 days without washing), vs the 4 to 5 days I usually get with Kinky Curly. I’d be interested to see you do a wash and go video with that combination in the future. Be well!
That is so interesting. I’ve heard great things about the coconut water leave-in. I’ll have to give that a try. Likewise!
Just found your page and I love the content! New subscriber 👋🏾
Welcome 🤗 glad to have ya
Loved this video! So helpful 💯
Glad you liked it!!
I love your videos, very informative.
Thank you!
0:26 - you just said something about your sunscreen and eye creases and girl I ain’t even notice what you was talkin bout. You look DAMN GOOD! I ain’t even get into the whole video yet but I just had to say that lmao. You look bomb! Don’t apologize for your face 😂
Lol, thank you! I was editing this in 4K and that sunscreen was screaming at me while I was editing so I couldn’t help but say something 🤣🤣
Can you try the Melanin hair care line, but use the elongating twisting cream and multi use leave in as a base and than a topper gel of your choice. I usually use the quidad climate control gel as my topper and my curls are consistently more elongated than they would usually be and i get no crunch either.
I’ve tried the melanin hair care line before, and it wasn’t my favorite. It’s been a while, but I ended up giving those products away to my nieces. However, I haven’t tried them since before I big chopped, and I’m interested to see how the results would be with a wash and go now. I’ll put that down on my list of products to try 🙂
Love when I come on youtube and see you post🎉❤. Havent tried that ouidad and jelloshot combo yet? Im. seeing which mousses hold better
Nope! Still haven’t tried the Jelloshot. Have you found any mousse with good hold yet?
@@BrittanyMia I tried mielle, camille rose, narobi and design essentials. My hair isnt in the best shape but I would said miele is the best and narobi is very soft . I got another trim so I might try that combo again. But this wash week I plan on using kinky curly with jello shot😀. M
If you're planning to wash your hair every couple days now, has that changed your priorities for what products do for you? Is longevity in regard to definition and hold important if you'll be washing the day it fails?
It absolutely has. I’m going to be testing out other products that aren’t so focused on hold and longevity. I haven’t been getting the volume and fluff that I used to get with leaving and cream only wash and go’s before I big chopped my hair and learned how to use botanical gels and waterbase gels for my wash and go’s.
I’m going to start re-implementing some older products I used to use and see how they work with my routine nowadays. I’m still seeking great definition, just not in the same way, as before where hold was required.
That was a great question, thank you for asking!
Um. You're AMAZING.
🥰
Would you consider pairing the Innersense I Create Volume with the I Create Hold? 🤔
I have considered this and I’ll probably test this out in the future!
I’m in a love hate relationship with Curl Magic! 😂
It gives me very soft hair and STICKY! But I’m still learning, I heard I should use a lot of water when I use it.
Yeah, there is quite a learning curve to curly magic 🤣 I stay dousing my hair in water when I use it.
@@BrittanyMia Well you’ve given me hope! I’m excited to hear about your new changes. One last question! Do you wear your wash n gos during winter months?
@@meeikothompson I wear wash and go’s year round. Ever since I big chopped in 2020 that’s all I’ve done. Anytime I do a protective style I immediately want to take it out, and it’s honestly more inconvenient than wash and go’s for me.
@@BrittanyMia Yeah I noticed that. I also noticed the growth of your hair too! And the first thing came to mind was it’s not just about protective styles but routine!
@@meeikothompson exactly! I spent most of my life trying to grow out my hair utilizing protective styles, and then I realized that all I want to do is wear my hair in it’s naturally curly state all the time. So if I was wearing nothing but protective styles, I wouldn’t (and didn’t) know how to do my hair the way I actually wanted to wear it. It took for me getting so bored with my protective styling that I turned to a Dominican blowout and essentially changed my curls health to realize this lol.
I was pretty long-winded, lol but routine is everything, and even within consistency you can get some unexpected setbacks. But, it’s all part of the journey!
So I recently shaved a majority of my hair off, so the only style I can really do now is wash-n-go's. When my hair was longer, I could never seem to find a gel that was the best at taming my frizz. Now that I'm starting over, I want to stay consistent and see how the melanin multi-use leave-in and the ouidad stronger hold gel works for my hair
P.s. Would any future video ideas include a montage of how your hair has changed/looked from the start of the year to the end?
You got this! Not that you asked, but if I were starting over I would start doing wash and go sets every few days like every 3 to 4 days or more to keep the moisture in my hair, and once you get consistent in a routine with that, your hair will be so used to the moisture that it’s almost like you’ve trained your curls because they’re so hydrated.
You know, that’s a great idea. I’m not too sure if I’ll get that done this year but I’ll add that to my future plans.
What leave in Conditioner did you use with these combinations?
Thank you for your summary. I'm always on the lookout for a good combo. One question, do you deal with a lot of humidity? I find that some combos dont work year round or when its either too dry or humid.
I do deal with quite a bit of humidity, but I’m not outside as much these days. Even when I was, the uncle funky’s daughter curly magic and some type of topper gel managed to do the trick! But a cream would make my hair feel heavy.
Would you ever be open to do a twist one week? Or you just strictly do washngos?
I’m a creature of habit and wash and go’s are my signature go-to right now. I may do a twist out in the future, but not anytime soon.
What camera/lens do you use?
I use the Sony ZV-E10 with the Sigma 16mm f/1.4 lens
@@BrittanyMia thank you!
None of the trepadora stylers?
Nope. I didn’t include them because they gave me really strong hold and I think I need to play around with them a little more in order to use them in a way that doesn’t give me a strong cast the first few days. I liked them a lot, just a little more of a learning curve still.
what combo was your longest lasting wash n go? 🤔 i love your account by the way 🫶🏾
The week 17 Trepadora combo for sure. Thank you ❤️
