Teach them!!!! I’ve got mid back length natural hair... and I’ve grown it with mainly wash n gos and zero protective styles!! I’ve used the same methods.
Everytime I hear someone talk about how they grow their hair just fine doing mostly wash and go's I get excited cause that's all I do and about all I'm good at when it comes to styling my hair lol. I do wash and go's 95% of the time since I big chopped 2 years ago and I am very pleased with my growth (arm pit length when straightened). Usually growth tips include protective styling but it's just not my thing other than wearing braids from time to time.
My top tip: FINGER DETANGLE ALWAYS!!! And yes as she said use gel. I use eco styler olive oil and I started using primarily wash n go’s starting 8 weeks ago and… Chil’ lemme tell you
I only do my hair once a week unless something comes up and I need to do it sooner. I mostly do wash n gos. I'm at waist length. Every wash day I deep condition. Never skip that.
I agree with you. I wear my hair in a wash and go probably 95% of the time. My hair is type 4, and not type 3 like yours, but that didn't stop it from gaining length as a wash and go wearer. It's not waist length at the moment, but that is a personal choice. I did let it grow to past waist length, and then decided to keep it cut shorter. Lately I've been thinking about letting it grow longer again, but I only had that thought after I just cut two inches off of it last month! rofl I guess my biggest tip is to keep it simple. I cleanse, condition or deep condition, apply my leave-in, and then my styler either gel or a cream styler. I do my wash and go in the shower because it is quicker and easier for me than trying to do them outside, and since I'm not a UA-camr I do not have to demonstrate to anyone how to do it so I have that freedom.
I do the same 99% of the time except I am also type 4 and I have yet to find a cream style to style my W&G. Olive oil Echo has been my best friend since I big chopped. Please advise on the cream styler.
Hey Allison, my favorites are As I Am Twist Defining Cream, Tgin Twist and Define Cream, and Camille Rose Almond Jai Twisting Butter. I use them just like I would a gel, so I put a leave-in on before I apply the creams.
I’ve noticed so many naturals have tons of growth from doing mainly wash and gos. Low manipulation, tons of moisture and the cast helps protect the hair.
Perfect wash n go for me is leaving in a rinse out conditioner and topped with avocado oil. Air drying....that’s it that’s all!!! Had to go through a crapload of products to figure it out though lol!
I've been using primarily wash and gos since my big chop in 2015 and my hair straightened is bra length now. my tips are: 1) stop swapping products with every new wave that passes on. find what works for your hair and keep using it. 2) dust your ends! create a schedule of trimming your ends and stick with it! 3) drink water. it just makes everything better. 4) enjoy your hair! regardless of the type, it belongs to you so enjoy it all!
Just started doing wash and goes on my hair when I thought they’d never work for my hair type (4b/4c). This is the second week. And from the first week I learnt that my hair actually doesn’t tangle, sometimes it just looks like it is, my hair stays defined for days and my hair feels soft beyond the gel cast haha. Now I’ve been curious to know if I can actually wear this style often(every day, all day , for the rest of my life😂) and still grow long hair because my hair goal is waist length and I’ve always two strand twist my hair. My hair looks very fuller in this style and it’s encouraging seeing naturals in your comment section agreeing to your thoughts
Wiser words were never spoken! I love wash 'n gos as well. My hair is past butt length. I am now growing towards fingertip length, and should get there by the end of the year.
My hair is SUPER crunchy on day 1, but by day 6, it’s soft but still has definition. I redo it once a week. That’s all. That hard Gel cast is critical! And I agree 100 percent with this wash and go advice, Cousin! I’ve long thought that so many UA-cam videos were a LIE. My hair is also waist length and I ONLY do wash and gos. I don’t know why people call so many of the styles I see on UA-cam “protective” styles, with all of the pulling and tension needed to get the style. There is nothing protective about a weave. Sorry. So many “protective” styles require manipulating too much! Wash and gos for LIFE. If a protective style causes thinning around the hair line...guess what? It ain’t protecting anything. I’ve noticed something really interesting too. When I get compliments from other black women on my hair, they almost always mention versatility AND my curl pattern. Here’s the thing: you can’t have BOTH. I have good definition and a solid curl pattern because I don’t have ANY versatility! I don’t blow my hair straight ever. Not even to cut it. No curling irons. No rollers. No braids or cornrows. I don’t do “protective” styles. I don’t wear wigs or extensions. I would LIKE more options, honestly, but you gotta make a choice. ANYONE can have a gorgeous wash and go...but they would let go if the idea of versatility. That’s just my OPINION. It’s not a rule. But if you want lovely, consistent curl pattern, you can’t mess with it. I wish I’d known all of this when I first went natural. I would’ve saved myself a LOT of torn out hair if I did.
chris Allen it can work both ways. It's really about low manipulation and moisture. I had to cut my hair short once and wore braids for about a year after. My hair grew to waist length. Same thing happened when I was wearing my version of a wash n go. To each her own.
Thanks for sharing this comment. It’s nice to hear that the hair can grow LONG with wash n gos. I don’t really know how to do all of those protective styles anyway.
I do to!! I started to think I was doing something weird or wrong to my hair with the hard cast. It made my hair last and I didn’t have to bother it much it grows but everyone says it’s bad soooo 🤷🏾♀️
Special Blessing I use eco Krystal or olive oil. I normally don't get white flakes but I did with Jessicurl Spiralicious styling gel bcuz I used two much of it. I used coconut oil.
I keep my 3c/4a hair in a wash n go 98% of the time. When I want a break (sick of the SSKs), I'll 2-strand twist it up and let it rest for a few weeks (re-twisting weekly so it doesn't lock up). This stretches my tips and stops breakage. I've gone from a 1/2" TWA to 15" MBL in 3 1/2 years (with LOTS of trimming along the way).
I can honestly say that my hair has grown a lot since being in a wash and go. I found it easier to deal with than a twist out. I love a good gel cast. Because I love Eco Style gel, I layer styling products to keep hair moisturized. It works wonderfully.
It’s been a real struggle finding a wash n go routine that works for me, but I recently found something that works for me! I find that when I do a wash n go, it will last a lot longer if I allow my hair to air day at least 3-4 hours (or as long as possible) Then, use my blow dryer on the COOL setting, on high speed with a diffuser attachment, while gently pulling my hair downward, to avoid a lot of shrinkage as it’s drying. Once I’ve gotten the shape that I like, I use the cold setting all over my hair. When I do this, my hair does not shrink up as much, and I love the way it comes out. The gel cast definitely wears off a little bit but not completely. I’m able to get defined hair for 5 days by doing this! Also, your tips are always so helpful and you always keep it real! Thanks for showing that it’s possible to grow long, healthy hair while wearing wash n Go’s!!
This is how I'm currently growing my hair. My wash and go can last up to 2 weeks and still be soft and moisturized. It's amazing and so easy. The majority of the time it's in a satin bonnet tho (🤰🏽 I sleep, eat, & pee 😂). Great tips
I’m so happy u mentioned fluffing. It would always grind my gears when i would see naturals dragging the pick thru their hair n I’m just thinking of all that breakage.
Thank you cousin because I got a rough patch with my hair & it hasn’t grown past a certain point. I grew my hair so fast with wash n go’s and stopped. I started again today. I am soooo discouraged but imma keep hope alive ✊🏾 ... hopefully in a month I’ll have some length again and be happy it’s growing like before. Currently my hair is a little longer than shoulder length. Hopefully in a month I’ll see a difference.
Awesome video! The beginning of this year I said I wanted to focus on hair growth and healthier hair. I found that deep conditioning and leaving my hair closer to its natural state (wash n fro and flexi rod set) allowed me to be able to massage my hair and grease often. For the first time in 3 years this year I’ve seen consistent growth 1-2in a month alternating products so my hair doesn’t get addicted to one. Using under $5 products. Thanks for the confirmation!
Yes to all of these! I agree, with the possible exception of the first tip. I've always held to that principle -- hell, I've taken my w&gs to two weeks believing in that very principle, but now I'm starting to rethink it. I think the key is not necessarily how often you style your hair, but how often you thoroughly detangle. If your hair maintains moisture AND definition, thus preventing tangles, throughout your w&g, then you don't have to detangle as thoroughly next time you hit your hair w/ water. Thus, I think (I'm still experimenting) doing w&gs that last 2-3 days, co-washing and lightly detangling when those days are up, and then regular wash day at the end of the week is just as beneficial as 7+ day w&gs. So far, doing this, my detangling time throughout the whole week has been shortened greatly. I spend like 45 minutes in total through the whole week on washing (including regular wash day) when doing w&gs that lasted forever and only washing once in the week took me anywhere from 2 to 5 hours, depending on what my hair went through. And yes, those times include shampooing, detangling, deep conditioning, allat!
I have gone 9 days with NO problem with detangling...using okra gel kills ALL that noise! Okra gel has MANY uses it can be used in the prepoo process as well as styling...I've added a little to my deep conditioner too
Yes I grow my hair too by doing wash and go's primarily. One time I did that and within a couple of months my hair grew like 4 inches!! I had straightened my hair and was pleasantly surprised! And yes I love my gel casts which is what I think contribute to the growth.
I agree with your tips Amber. You have to find what products work for you and technique. My wash n go last at least 7 days. Now that the heat is on I moisturize x 1 during that time. I have similar hair as yours - low porosity, fine hair. In the winter months I twist my hair and call it a day for at least 7 days. I oil my scalp with my hair oil concoction (Wasted my coins on so many in the past and didn’t like them) and scalp massages. Yes... your tips work - no magic here.
Hey cousin!!!!! So I am new to your page and just know that your videos are giving me life!!!!! I was about to go back to the creamy crack because I was so frustrated with living the natural hair life. Watching your videos and simply figuring out what products work for MY HAIR have done wonders!!! I am really feeling myself now as I flaunt my fabulous wash and go's on a weekly basis. I CANNOT thank you enough. What a blessing you are Diva!!!!! XOXOXOXO
Cousin, couuuuuuuuuuusssssssiiiiiiiiinnnnnn! This video just made me realize that the year my hair took off, all I did was wash n go. Thinking about revisiting 🤔🤔🤔 thanks boo, love you!!!
My hair definitely grew the most with wash and goes. Idk if it was the products, the low manipulation, the daily watering, lack or washing/only cowashing...or what...but it was moisturized and flourishing and thicker. I stopped because it got long and my curls are sooooo skinny. I’m about to go back to them though. It’s the easiest style ever!
I have low porosity hair. I use Camille Rose butter aloe gel or whatever it's called. I've never applied it to dry hair, but on wet and damp, it glides on so smoothly and is easy to distribute. And it doesn't leave a residue when dry. I did a wash and go for the first time since starting the pre-poo and LC/LCO regimen and I was like "my coils and curls look bomb! but why is it so crunchy?" 😂 Now I know it was a gel cast?! I had full shrinkage, though, and didn't want to go to work like that. so today, I saturated my hair and and let two strand twists sit for about an hour before untwisting. It stretched my curls and coils a bit and I loved it! I had waves on the roots of my dry hair when my waves usually never stay when my hair dries! And my coils were still popping, but there was definitely less shrinkage. If I do wash and go again, that's what I'll do and I recommend it to others who like wash and gos but have a ton of shrinkage. Untwist when your roots are like 40-50% dry. The twists will be damp inside. Don't fluff, just gently separate/blend and stretch downwards when you do it. If you want more volume, gently tug upwards by the roots.
I do wash and go 99% of the time. I got a lot of length but recently I've noticed breaking. Patience is key. I had been rushing and getting lazy. I took a 3 week break from wash and go to do blown out twist outs. It was cool but to me it's even more work. This weekend I'm back on Wash and go. Gental and slippery with lots of leave in gel and oil on my type 4 tresses.
I grow my hair mostly via wash n gos. protective styling is about once or twice a year. My tip is also stretching between wash days. As long as your hair is moisturized, leave it be.
I wanted to tell you thank you! I have been back natural since 2013, but I have not realized that I have low porosity hair until now. Thanks to your tips, I have a hair routine that makes my hair moisturized, but it also brings my curls out.
I'm A NEW subscriber to your channel and i will say.. I've watched alot of hair videos and you are the only person who taught me about how to find out what my porosity hair type is. for the longest time I've been struggling!!!! i now am able to do wash and goes and im coming to love my hair so much more. THANK YOU FOR YOU HELP!!!
Thanks cousin for sharing this video. I currently use CRN products for my wash and go. I break the gel cast with the moisture milk and my hair lasts 7 days.
I just want to say thank you cousin! You’re teaching me so much since I recently big chopped! Thanks for always giving us the tea!!!!!! I appreciate your hard work and dedication! ❤️❤️❤️
Hey Cuzo!! I'm so glad you did this video. All you hear is that protective styles are what grows your hair😐 but I'm a firm believer that your hair can grow in a wash n go. That's all I wear!! Loved video!!👍👍
We have about the same hair length, and i deff agree with everything you said! thanks for sharing! how long do your plan to grow your hair? like is there ever a point where you'll be like oh now this is too much and cut it?
I agree totally! It takes about two days before my hair really soaks in the products, and I never fluff my hair on first day😃😆 Thanks for the tips !!😎😊
I'm low porosity low to medium density and I just started using a jail in my washing go. It last about 5 days now instead of 2😀 I'm a little pass bra strap length trying to get to waist-length. Thanks for this video cousin 😉😍
I honestly just use water, leave in, oils and gel for my wash and go’s.... I used to use everything I seen on youtube but gel is my fav! I have to start doing wash and go’s more often 🙂
Ok cousin. I have always had a cast and thought I was doing something wrong because I hear people saying their hair is soft. My roots are soft but the cast is crunchy elsewhere. I agree it does make for a good week of style, but my hair does grow, I don’t have that problem but I just thought I was doing something wrong because it was stiff. I didn’t know how to break the cast so I just dealt with it. What you’re saying also makes sense that the leave in and whatever other products that are put in before the gel should be doing its job and the gel is the barrier to keeping it in. Curlfriend thanks. I’m good. I recently found a method that works for me, I use a leave in, hair butter and gel. Moisture and a not so hard cast. I finally got my wash and go down so I’m good.
Wow, best advice yet! I feel that many other you tubers say the same things and I really only hit yours because that hair looks so bomb! Thank goodness I did, the advice is practical and real. Thank you and continued success on your hair journey....
Interesting I did a wash and go and i kept it in for a week and it was really good. So I washed my hair today(wash day) and my hair felt thicker and fuller. I was very shocked because I always do twist outs and blah blah but I’m going to do wash n go 100% of the time ☺️.
I LOVE wash n gos and to me they are low manipulation styles because when I wear a wash n go I hardly EVER touch my hair. My curls stay defined, my hair stays moisturized, and I can get a good 9 days out of it with no problem with knots or tangles. All I do is put a bonnet on at night and mist lightly in the morning and that's IT!
And a wash n go tip I have is after you style shake your head so the curls can kinda unclump and fall naturally and if you are stretching your hair 5-7 days spray a little water on your hair and scrunch through w/ a light oil
I cowash once a week then put it in two cornrows and leave it for the next week. I used to do only wash n goes but my ends could not handle it. I was cutting more hair off because of single strand knots. If I do wash and goes I always use gel and I don’t pick nothing out or anything. I just let my hair be and as night I put it in 2 loose braids on the side of my head and refresh it with a bit of water the next day. I’ve had to get creative because I have low density hair so less definition makes my hair look thicker.
Amber came for everyone’s edges with this video 😂😂 thanks for the tips girl, I love looking after my hair, your length is GOALS 😍 Hello from your cousin from England, UK ❤️🙋🏾♀️
I know that you're talking about wash and goes, but i dont wear them and i wanted to just say that you're right :D Shoots i wear my hair in twists the majority of the time (which is all the time) and i use a gel and i need the gel casts because i dont do my hair all the time and keep it in twists for the majority of the month washing in between and redoing it. My hair is midback length now and so it helps. Ove your videos btw ❤
I know you did one awhile back but could you do a new summer wash in go product favorite and tutorial. Especially with this heatwave going on around the world this would help. It’s been 110-120 degrees over here in Southern California and my hair feels so hard at the end of the day...suggestions please sis!!!
Thank you for those tips. I have learned via trial and error these past couple of years. The tip that works for ne is exactly what you said, my hair looks better, grows better and stays moisturized longer when I have a really good deep conditioner and I'm consistent (weekly). I use Texture ID hair mask. It works like noooooo other for me. Their products in general just works for my hair
another thing I do, *I already hear moaning and groaning from other Naturals* lolll... I wash my hair everyday or every other day...yes, Black Women can wash that often and my hair is just fine~
Okay okay okay cousin.... You made me want to start back using gel..... No lie I stop using gel a year ago and it was good for the first month then it stop growing.... I've been waist length for over a year now... I know my hair should be growing longer and I think it's due to not having that barrier no more.... So gel casting back I go...
I do my wash n go in the shower on soaking wet hair with slippery products that make manipulating my hair extremely hassle-free and make sure I have to spend the least time in my hair detangling and spreading the products through my strands. I use trader joes tea tree tingle conditioner for detangling and I rinse it out but leave a little, just enough to keep my curls defined, I then put in the kinky curly products they have slip and lots of hold. Keeping each curl defined helps me with tangles and retaining length. My shampoo is subject to change but I usually use trader joes tea tree tingle shampoo and i pre-poo with black tea and my hair growth oil or curly proverbz fenugreek oil recipe depending on how I'm feeling. I also have type 4 hair if that info helps.
Thanks for sharing this video Amber! It was very edutaining and informative. I'm a type 4 low porosity girl and will definitely be wearing more wash n gos to grow my hair going forward. Congrats on that length btw! Keep up the good work. :)
LOVE LOVE LOVE this video...AND YOU Cousin!!!! I heard no lies here!!! Yes, being a lazy natural my go-to style has been a wash n go since my big chop back in 2015. And like you, I'm a Gel rocking natural (Eco on mines ALL DAY) and don't touch my hair for 1-2 weeks after initially washing/styling it! Also like you, I too have low-po hair so it takes a full day just for my hair to completely dry from root to tips, so I SHO' ain't bothering my curls in no 3 days! No ma'am! Keep up to good content cousin!
I finally found one product that can give me a good wash and go. Ever since then I wear them everyday. My hair grew a little but it’s only been a month. I’m changing my hair regimen to see if I was breaking my hair. I even stopped using combs unless I really need to. I cannot wait for it to get longer because I am seeing some growth. Plus I’m using Jcbo too
I started doing wash and goes recently because 1) I now work out 3 to 5 days a week and needed to cleanse my hair and scalp and 2) It’s been hotter than 40 yards of hell in Chicago lately which makes it more comfortable to do wash and goes. I’m finding that my hair is loving the moisture and hydration even from just co-washing once a week. I shampoo once a week. I rarely stretch my wash and goes longer than 4 days because my type 4 (mostly 4c hair) starts to tangle. Don’t know if I’ll continue come winter because the thought of dealing with soaking wet hair when it’s under 32 degrees outside makes me shiver.
Katherine Miller same here! It’s been hot in LA so I had to take my wig off and wear a wash and go lol. I work out 6 days a week so washing my hair will be a lot simpler.
Invest in a seated hooded dryer for your home. Going outside in the cold with wet hair in the winter can mess up your hair and hooded dryers cut my dry time from all day to 20-30 mins
Bluntly Blake Thanks! I have a hooded dryer and use it when I do my midweek wash and gos to dry my hair before I go to bed. Even with the dryer, I think I’ll be shivering when I’m styling my soaking wet hair in the winter.
Love the video😍 the only reason I pick my hair on the first day is so it doesn’t like so shrunken. But I do t pick it to the point where my roots are crying for Jesus. But I like my hair to look frizzy and curly at the same time
My wash and gos were going great but then my hair started shrinking more and more and I don't have volume so I didn't like the outcome at all. I tried cutting it into a decent shape but that didn't work out either. So I do more of a "wash and fro" look. I'm gonna wait till it grows out more. But it seems like the more it grows the more it shrinks. 😤😤😤
Hey Girl, I JUST started doing something that’s really reduced my shrinkage. I started doing a proper deep conditioning treatment. Like, before I thought I was deep conditioning, but I was really just leaving it on for about 5 minutes in the shower. I’m impatient 🤷🏽♀️. But I saw a UA-cam video about proper deep conditioning and thought I’d give it a try. Whoah! Like, model hair. I couldn’t believe it! I got one of those heat holding silver caps from Amazon. It doesn’t make the hair HOT, but it does hold in a fair a amount of body heat. And I left it on for about an hour. I’m sure it could work with a half hour. But the result was so worth it! My hair started out long and stayed long all week, but didn’t have the flattening effect on my curls that some methods do. Like banding. One more thing, if you’re into a styling product option. Dark and Lovely makes an “anti shrinkage” product in their Au Naturale line. That works too, but I stopped using it because I didn’t love the way it made my hair feel even several days after styling. I don’t mind a hard gel cast, but this was a little bit sticky. Worth a shot, though, if you’ve tried everything else. I will say that my hair LOOKED great from day 1, with no hard gel cast, so that’s good. I’m probably just too much of a creature of habit...
I tell all my friends about you but especially your cg method videos to start them off until they find their own methods.....I followed you and my hair grew from collar bone to "boob" length in like 6 months.....so after that I've only been doing wash n gos and my hair doesn't shed as often nor do I get split ends - like literally at all - (I trimmed in March and haven't seen any split ends yet)
I’ve been doing mostly protective braids since my big chop (and because it’s summer so it’s too hot to have my fro in my face lol) but it’s good to know that during the cooler months doing wash and go’s won’t affect my hair growth
I have been subscriber and watching you for awhile, but never leave a comment. I had to this time because I took your advice and stopped hating on my gel cast. Let me say it's the best advice I have heard. I let my hair get hard and let it be. Srcunched hair oil in my hair on the 3rd. Honey best wash and go to date. Plus I also replaced my leave in with hair milk. Let's just say I got new routine and moisturized poppin curls.
I never fluff my wash n go😂😂 my nightly pineapple stretches it enough... and i love a good gel cast!!! Ive been starting to wear middle parts and i slicked my hair behind my ears and it NEVER dried!!! Even after 2-3 days. So how do you slick down the front and ensure it stays in place and it DRIES??? Oh and ive told you already the wet brush changed my wash n go game!
I'm watching this because I've been wearing wash n gos everyday for a year. Consistently I wash once a week and my hair lasts a week. I dont pick out the curls at all for the "full look" But I rarely put gel in my hair. When I put oil in my hair it sheds more, curls frizz more and is more difficult to detangle but I still try to do it. Lately I was debating trying something else but this is motivating me. Though my real issue is trying to combat shedding. Looking at the hair that comes out in the shower my hair seems to be coming out at the roots. I'm struggling with this for a month now. But hopefully I find the cause soon.
Yes absolutely I love that hard cast especially that cream of nature snot gel 💓 but stretching my hair and twisting my hair up always work for me. I've seen some progress when I was washing my hair today, the front of my hair used to be real short compare to the back and when I got done washing I was able to see my hair as it was just hanging, I was so happy 😂 my front hair touches my nose now 💓💓
Thank you! I've actually never been able to have a successful wash and go without the gel cast, and I watch other UA-camrs that say that they have never had a gel cast & im like "well what am I doing wrong then?😂"
Your hair is obviously beautiful. I wish I could have a gel cast that doesn't break my hair's ends. My hair can't even tolerate holding spray. Crazy!? I am still getting my hair routine together. Oh well, you take care! I do enjoy your vids!!
Teach them!!!! I’ve got mid back length natural hair... and I’ve grown it with mainly wash n gos and zero protective styles!! I’ve used the same methods.
I must try this! I'm tired of twists.
I've grown my hair to waist length as well doing wash and go's. I'm a lazy natural ain't nobody got time for twists 🤷🏽♀️😂😂
What hair type do you have?
@@Chin715 3c/4a with some 4b
@@SweetT730 Okay, thanks!
😂😂😂
Yeeesss!!! 4c life don't always have time for the extra work
I never had an issue with a gel cast and my hair feeling crunchy on the first day. No one should be touching my hair anyways lol
EXACTLY. Plus my hair never LOOKS crunchy. So NOBODY should be putting their hands in my head to tell the difference 🙃😂
Hey staci what gel do you use?
Everytime I hear someone talk about how they grow their hair just fine doing mostly wash and go's I get excited cause that's all I do and about all I'm good at when it comes to styling my hair lol. I do wash and go's 95% of the time since I big chopped 2 years ago and I am very pleased with my growth (arm pit length when straightened). Usually growth tips include protective styling but it's just not my thing other than wearing braids from time to time.
My top tip: FINGER DETANGLE ALWAYS!!! And yes as she said use gel. I use eco styler olive oil and I started using primarily wash n go’s starting 8 weeks ago and… Chil’ lemme tell you
I only do my hair once a week unless something comes up and I need to do it sooner. I mostly do wash n gos. I'm at waist length. Every wash day I deep condition. Never skip that.
I agree with you. I wear my hair in a wash and go probably 95% of the time. My hair is type 4, and not type 3 like yours, but that didn't stop it from gaining length as a wash and go wearer. It's not waist length at the moment, but that is a personal choice. I did let it grow to past waist length, and then decided to keep it cut shorter. Lately I've been thinking about letting it grow longer again, but I only had that thought after I just cut two inches off of it last month! rofl
I guess my biggest tip is to keep it simple. I cleanse, condition or deep condition, apply my leave-in, and then my styler either gel or a cream styler. I do my wash and go in the shower because it is quicker and easier for me than trying to do them outside, and since I'm not a UA-camr I do not have to demonstrate to anyone how to do it so I have that freedom.
1GoldenBreeze me too.
I do the same 99% of the time except I am also type 4 and I have yet to find a cream style to style my W&G. Olive oil Echo has been my best friend since I big chopped. Please advise on the cream styler.
Hey Allison, my favorites are As I Am Twist Defining Cream, Tgin Twist and Define Cream, and Camille Rose Almond Jai Twisting Butter. I use them just like I would a gel, so I put a leave-in on before I apply the creams.
1GoldenBreeze im going to be trying the almond jai twisting butter for a wash n go after I take these braids out, I love it, its so moisturizing
Allison the Camille Rose Naturals whipped butter gel is good on my hair, it gives a nice shine along with a decent hold.
I’ve noticed so many naturals have tons of growth from doing mainly wash and gos. Low manipulation, tons of moisture and the cast helps protect the hair.
Perfect wash n go for me is leaving in a rinse out conditioner and topped with avocado oil. Air drying....that’s it that’s all!!! Had to go through a crapload of products to figure it out though lol!
I've been using primarily wash and gos since my big chop in 2015 and my hair straightened is bra length now. my tips are:
1) stop swapping products with every new wave that passes on. find what works for your hair and keep using it.
2) dust your ends! create a schedule of trimming your ends and stick with it!
3) drink water. it just makes everything better.
4) enjoy your hair! regardless of the type, it belongs to you so enjoy it all!
Just started doing wash and goes on my hair when I thought they’d never work for my hair type (4b/4c). This is the second week. And from the first week I learnt that my hair actually doesn’t tangle, sometimes it just looks like it is, my hair stays defined for days and my hair feels soft beyond the gel cast haha. Now I’ve been curious to know if I can actually wear this style often(every day, all day , for the rest of my life😂) and still grow long hair because my hair goal is waist length and I’ve always two strand twist my hair. My hair looks very fuller in this style and it’s encouraging seeing naturals in your comment section agreeing to your thoughts
Wiser words were never spoken! I love wash 'n gos as well. My hair is past butt length. I am now growing towards fingertip length, and should get there by the end of the year.
Love wash n goes. Realized there was no need for me to do anything else, so I just went with it.
I 100% agree with all your tips. Wash and gos got me to bra strap length hair. I would add making sure you moisturize properly and banding at night.
I love a good gel cast!! It just helps the wash and go last longer 🤷🏽♀️
I’ve grown the bulk of my hair exclusively wearing wash n gos. Never wore protective styles, wigs, or box braids. Just lots of (healthy) gel.
My hair is SUPER crunchy on day 1, but by day 6, it’s soft but still has definition. I redo it once a week. That’s all. That hard Gel cast is critical! And I agree 100 percent with this wash and go advice, Cousin! I’ve long thought that so many UA-cam videos were a LIE. My hair is also waist length and I ONLY do wash and gos. I don’t know why people call so many of the styles I see on UA-cam “protective” styles, with all of the pulling and tension needed to get the style. There is nothing protective about a weave. Sorry. So many “protective” styles require manipulating too much! Wash and gos for LIFE. If a protective style causes thinning around the hair line...guess what? It ain’t protecting anything.
I’ve noticed something really interesting too. When I get compliments from other black women on my hair, they almost always mention versatility AND my curl pattern. Here’s the thing: you can’t have BOTH. I have good definition and a solid curl pattern because I don’t have ANY versatility! I don’t blow my hair straight ever. Not even to cut it. No curling irons. No rollers. No braids or cornrows. I don’t do “protective” styles. I don’t wear wigs or extensions. I would LIKE more options, honestly, but you gotta make a choice. ANYONE can have a gorgeous wash and go...but they would let go if the idea of versatility. That’s just my OPINION. It’s not a rule. But if you want lovely, consistent curl pattern, you can’t mess with it. I wish I’d known all of this when I first went natural. I would’ve saved myself a LOT of torn out hair if I did.
chris Allen it can work both ways. It's really about low manipulation and moisture. I had to cut my hair short once and wore braids for about a year after. My hair grew to waist length. Same thing happened when I was wearing my version of a wash n go. To each her own.
Thank you I really needed to read this
Thanks for sharing this comment. It’s nice to hear that the hair can grow LONG with wash n gos. I don’t really know how to do all of those protective styles anyway.
What gel do you use? :)
Thanks cousin! Me personally, I like a hard gel cast. I wash my hair once a week so I need em to last
I agree 💯%.
I do to!! I started to think I was doing something weird or wrong to my hair with the hard cast. It made my hair last and I didn’t have to bother it much it grows but everyone says it’s bad soooo 🤷🏾♀️
Celeste Govner they don't know your hair tho
Using what gel? Also what do yoy do if you get white flakes
Special Blessing I use eco Krystal or olive oil. I normally don't get white flakes but I did with Jessicurl Spiralicious styling gel bcuz I used two much of it. I used coconut oil.
I keep my 3c/4a hair in a wash n go 98% of the time. When I want a break (sick of the SSKs), I'll 2-strand twist it up and let it rest for a few weeks (re-twisting weekly so it doesn't lock up). This stretches my tips and stops breakage. I've gone from a 1/2" TWA to 15" MBL in 3 1/2 years (with LOTS of trimming along the way).
I can honestly say that my hair has grown a lot since being in a wash and go. I found it easier to deal with than a twist out. I love a good gel cast. Because I love Eco Style gel, I layer styling products to keep hair moisturized. It works wonderfully.
It’s been a real struggle finding a wash n go routine that works for me, but I recently found something that works for me!
I find that when I do a wash n go, it will last a lot longer if I allow my hair to air day at least 3-4 hours (or as long as possible) Then, use my blow dryer on the COOL setting, on high speed with a diffuser attachment, while gently pulling my hair downward, to avoid a lot of shrinkage as it’s drying. Once I’ve gotten the shape that I like, I use the cold setting all over my hair.
When I do this, my hair does not shrink up as much, and I love the way it comes out. The gel cast definitely wears off a little bit but not completely. I’m able to get defined hair for 5 days by doing this!
Also, your tips are always so helpful and you always keep it real! Thanks for showing that it’s possible to grow long, healthy hair while wearing wash n Go’s!!
This is how I'm currently growing my hair. My wash and go can last up to 2 weeks and still be soft and moisturized. It's amazing and so easy. The majority of the time it's in a satin bonnet tho (🤰🏽 I sleep, eat, & pee 😂). Great tips
Eat, sleep and pee. How much do you weigh?
I’m so happy u mentioned fluffing. It would always grind my gears when i would see naturals dragging the pick thru their hair n I’m just thinking of all that breakage.
Thank you cousin because I got a rough patch with my hair & it hasn’t grown past a certain point. I grew my hair so fast with wash n go’s and stopped. I started again today. I am soooo discouraged but imma keep hope alive ✊🏾 ... hopefully in a month I’ll have some length again and be happy it’s growing like before. Currently my hair is a little longer than shoulder length. Hopefully in a month I’ll see a difference.
Awesome video! The beginning of this year I said I wanted to focus on hair growth and healthier hair. I found that deep conditioning and leaving my hair closer to its natural state (wash n fro and flexi rod set) allowed me to be able to massage my hair and grease often. For the first time in 3 years this year I’ve seen consistent growth 1-2in a month alternating products so my hair doesn’t get addicted to one. Using under $5 products. Thanks for the confirmation!
What products do you use?
Wash and gos are so underrated. I grew my hair to my butt with this method during summer break as an experiment.
Yes to all of these! I agree, with the possible exception of the first tip. I've always held to that principle -- hell, I've taken my w&gs to two weeks believing in that very principle, but now I'm starting to rethink it.
I think the key is not necessarily how often you style your hair, but how often you thoroughly detangle. If your hair maintains moisture AND definition, thus preventing tangles, throughout your w&g, then you don't have to detangle as thoroughly next time you hit your hair w/ water. Thus, I think (I'm still experimenting) doing w&gs that last 2-3 days, co-washing and lightly detangling when those days are up, and then regular wash day at the end of the week is just as beneficial as 7+ day w&gs.
So far, doing this, my detangling time throughout the whole week has been shortened greatly. I spend like 45 minutes in total through the whole week on washing (including regular wash day) when doing w&gs that lasted forever and only washing once in the week took me anywhere from 2 to 5 hours, depending on what my hair went through. And yes, those times include shampooing, detangling, deep conditioning, allat!
I have gone 9 days with NO problem with detangling...using okra gel kills ALL that noise! Okra gel has MANY uses it can be used in the prepoo process as well as styling...I've added a little to my deep conditioner too
Yes! I tried that root pick once and that was enough! What are y'all doing and how are you able to do this. Because my roots were like "please stop"
Bless your natural heart for this video because this is what I needed! I’m learning more and more about my hair and these tips are so helpful! Thanks!
Yes I grow my hair too by doing wash and go's primarily. One time I did that and within a couple of months my hair grew like 4 inches!! I had straightened my hair and was pleasantly surprised! And yes I love my gel casts which is what I think contribute to the growth.
Still haven't mastered wash n' go's😣😭😭😭😭
Thank you for the ❤️ of the gel cast that’s why I love my Eco my hair is tailbone length and all I do is wash and goes hard hold gel is a must !!!
I agree with your tips Amber. You have to find what products work for you and technique. My wash n go last at least 7 days. Now that the heat is on I moisturize x 1 during that time. I have similar hair as yours - low porosity, fine hair. In the winter months I twist my hair and call it a day for at least 7 days. I oil my scalp with my hair oil concoction (Wasted my coins on so many in the past and didn’t like them) and scalp massages. Yes... your tips work - no magic here.
Hey cousin!!!!! So I am new to your page and just know that your videos are giving me life!!!!! I was about to go back to the creamy crack because I was so frustrated with living the natural hair life. Watching your videos and simply figuring out what products work for MY HAIR have done wonders!!! I am really feeling myself now as I flaunt my fabulous wash and go's on a weekly basis. I CANNOT thank you enough. What a blessing you are Diva!!!!! XOXOXOXO
Cousin, couuuuuuuuuuusssssssiiiiiiiiinnnnnn! This video just made me realize that the year my hair took off, all I did was wash n go. Thinking about revisiting 🤔🤔🤔 thanks boo, love you!!!
I feel like hair just feels free in wash and gos and just grows how it's supposed to 😩
Finally Amber let it frooo, let frooo, girl snatch that wash n gooooooo!!!!
@@BamTheBetta Hahahahaha that song had me hollering kmsl! I was singing it to lolol
My hair definitely grew the most with wash and goes. Idk if it was the products, the low manipulation, the daily watering, lack or washing/only cowashing...or what...but it was moisturized and flourishing and thicker. I stopped because it got long and my curls are sooooo skinny. I’m about to go back to them though. It’s the easiest style ever!
I have low porosity hair. I use Camille Rose butter aloe gel or whatever it's called. I've never applied it to dry hair, but on wet and damp, it glides on so smoothly and is easy to distribute. And it doesn't leave a residue when dry. I did a wash and go for the first time since starting the pre-poo and LC/LCO regimen and I was like "my coils and curls look bomb! but why is it so crunchy?" 😂
Now I know it was a gel cast?!
I had full shrinkage, though, and didn't want to go to work like that. so today, I saturated my hair and and let two strand twists sit for about an hour before untwisting. It stretched my curls and coils a bit and I loved it! I had waves on the roots of my dry hair when my waves usually never stay when my hair dries! And my coils were still popping, but there was definitely less shrinkage. If I do wash and go again, that's what I'll do and I recommend it to others who like wash and gos but have a ton of shrinkage. Untwist when your roots are like 40-50% dry. The twists will be damp inside. Don't fluff, just gently separate/blend and stretch downwards when you do it. If you want more volume, gently tug upwards by the roots.
Yes. More about wngs. I plan on wearing the wng as my signature style for the next year
Wow! Was the length from wngs? I like to wear my hair out in a wng
I do wash and go 99% of the time. I got a lot of length but recently I've noticed breaking. Patience is key. I had been rushing and getting lazy. I took a 3 week break from wash and go to do blown out twist outs. It was cool but to me it's even more work. This weekend I'm back on Wash and go. Gental and slippery with lots of leave in gel and oil on my type 4 tresses.
I grow my hair mostly via wash n gos. protective styling is about once or twice a year. My tip is also stretching between wash days. As long as your hair is moisturized, leave it be.
I wanted to tell you thank you! I have been back natural since 2013, but I have not realized that I have low porosity hair until now. Thanks to your tips, I have a hair routine that makes my hair moisturized, but it also brings my curls out.
Yesss cousin! I actually hate protective styling 🙈 but I want to grow my hair, so this is perfect!
Lmao the breakage from the roots had me cracking up
Yep . I love the gel cast.with the gel cast I can get a wash and go for 2-3weeks.
Sound dope to me.
I'm A NEW subscriber to your channel and i will say..
I've watched alot of hair videos and you are the only person who taught me about how to find out what my porosity hair type is. for the longest time I've been struggling!!!!
i now am able to do wash and goes and im coming to love my hair so much more. THANK YOU FOR YOU HELP!!!
At 3:07 “You want me to dry your hair out”. Omg, I was 😭. It was too funny 🤣. This video was informative.
Thanks cousin for sharing this video. I currently use CRN products for my wash and go. I break the gel cast with the moisture milk and my hair lasts 7 days.
This was definitely a helpful video sis! Thank you. Wash and gos can be so controversial but there is a right and wrong way with everything.
Yes I feel that I saw the most growth in my hair when I was doing wash and gos. Im definitely going to start doing more again
I just want to say thank you cousin! You’re teaching me so much since I recently big chopped! Thanks for always giving us the tea!!!!!! I appreciate your hard work and dedication! ❤️❤️❤️
Hey Cuzo!! I'm so glad you did this video. All you hear is that protective styles are what grows your hair😐 but I'm a firm believer that your hair can grow in a wash n go. That's all I wear!! Loved video!!👍👍
The oils remark is 🗝️
If I don’t have a gel cast I’m screwed lol
Same 🤣🤣🤣
We have about the same hair length, and i deff agree with everything you said! thanks for sharing! how long do your plan to grow your hair? like is there ever a point where you'll be like oh now this is too much and cut it?
Yes... tailbone curly lol With shrinkage I don't think my hair would ever stretch that far... but if it did... I would be like "NAH. THIS IS IT" lol
Finally Amber Right?? At that point, it would become a full time job!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 thankkkkk youuuu for speaking up! Most naturals do this but won’t show it. I appreciate your honesty!
I agree totally! It takes about two days before my hair really soaks in the products, and I never fluff my hair on first day😃😆 Thanks for the tips !!😎😊
I'm low porosity low to medium density and I just started using a jail in my washing go. It last about 5 days now instead of 2😀 I'm a little pass bra strap length trying to get to waist-length. Thanks for this video cousin 😉😍
I honestly just use water, leave in, oils and gel for my wash and go’s.... I used to use everything I seen on youtube but gel is my fav! I have to start doing wash and go’s more often 🙂
Ok cousin. I have always had a cast and thought I was doing something wrong because I hear people saying their hair is soft. My roots are soft but the cast is crunchy elsewhere. I agree it does make for a good week of style, but my hair does grow, I don’t have that problem but I just thought I was doing something wrong because it was stiff. I didn’t know how to break the cast so I just dealt with it. What you’re saying also makes sense that the leave in and whatever other products that are put in before the gel should be doing its job and the gel is the barrier to keeping it in. Curlfriend thanks. I’m good. I recently found a method that works for me, I use a leave in, hair butter and gel. Moisture and a not so hard cast. I finally got my wash and go down so I’m good.
Thank you! I never understood why people don't like gel casts when they're using a gel!
Have NEVER heard of 'gel cast'.
Loc'd my hair about 5 years ago. But plan on detangling and going loose natural again in a few years. Great tips! Ty
Wow, best advice yet! I feel that many other you tubers say the same things and I really only hit yours because that hair looks so bomb! Thank goodness I did, the advice is practical and real. Thank you and continued success on your hair journey....
I totally agree about the gel cast!! My hair doesn't tangle at the ends and it's not so frizzy!
Interesting I did a wash and go and i kept it in for a week and it was really good. So I washed my hair today(wash day) and my hair felt thicker and fuller. I was very shocked because I always do twist outs and blah blah but I’m going to do wash n go 100% of the time ☺️.
I LOVE wash n gos and to me they are low manipulation styles because when I wear a wash n go I hardly EVER touch my hair. My curls stay defined, my hair stays moisturized, and I can get a good 9 days out of it with no problem with knots or tangles. All I do is put a bonnet on at night and mist lightly in the morning and that's IT!
Go girl, you have mastered your hair likes and needs to have achieved this growth & healthy.
And a wash n go tip I have is after you style shake your head so the curls can kinda unclump and fall naturally and if you are stretching your hair 5-7 days spray a little water on your hair and scrunch through w/ a light oil
I cowash once a week then put it in two cornrows and leave it for the next week. I used to do only wash n goes but my ends could not handle it. I was cutting more hair off because of single strand knots. If I do wash and goes I always use gel and I don’t pick nothing out or anything. I just let my hair be and as night I put it in 2 loose braids on the side of my head and refresh it with a bit of water the next day. I’ve had to get creative because I have low density hair so less definition makes my hair look thicker.
Amber came for everyone’s edges with this video 😂😂 thanks for the tips girl, I love looking after my hair, your length is GOALS 😍
Hello from your cousin from England, UK ❤️🙋🏾♀️
I know that you're talking about wash and goes, but i dont wear them and i wanted to just say that you're right :D Shoots i wear my hair in twists the majority of the time (which is all the time) and i use a gel and i need the gel casts because i dont do my hair all the time and keep it in twists for the majority of the month washing in between and redoing it. My hair is midback length now and so it helps. Ove your videos btw ❤
I love a good hard gel cast! That's the only way I can get a lasting wash and go!
I like your editing, you keep up that good work.
I know you did one awhile back but could you do a new summer wash in go product favorite and tutorial. Especially with this heatwave going on around the world this would help. It’s been 110-120 degrees over here in Southern California and my hair feels so hard at the end of the day...suggestions please sis!!!
YES ABSOLUTELY! I was thinking about filming this but didn't know if you guys would want to see another one! ❤️
YAAASSSSS!!!! I need that in my life
Thank you for those tips. I have learned via trial and error these past couple of years. The tip that works for ne is exactly what you said, my hair looks better, grows better and stays moisturized longer when I have a really good deep conditioner and I'm consistent (weekly). I use Texture ID hair mask. It works like noooooo other for me. Their products in general just works for my hair
facts ....I typically don't
use oils but everything
else is spot on with what I do~
another thing I do,
*I already hear moaning and groaning from other Naturals* lolll...
I wash my hair everyday or
every other day...yes, Black Women can
wash that often and my hair is just fine~
" You want me to dry my hair out" Chile 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Life Is GRAND I ugly laughed at that!😂😭😭😂😂😂
Life Is GRAND 😂😂😂😂
Okay okay okay cousin.... You made me want to start back using gel..... No lie I stop using gel a year ago and it was good for the first month then it stop growing.... I've been waist length for over a year now... I know my hair should be growing longer and I think it's due to not having that barrier no more.... So gel casting back I go...
I do my wash n go in the shower on soaking wet hair with slippery products that make manipulating my hair extremely hassle-free and make sure I have to spend the least time in my hair detangling and spreading the products through my strands. I use trader joes tea tree tingle conditioner for detangling and I rinse it out but leave a little, just enough to keep my curls defined, I then put in the kinky curly products they have slip and lots of hold. Keeping each curl defined helps me with tangles and retaining length. My shampoo is subject to change but I usually use trader joes tea tree tingle shampoo and i pre-poo with black tea and my hair growth oil or curly proverbz fenugreek oil recipe depending on how I'm feeling. I also have type 4 hair if that info helps.
Thanks for sharing this video Amber! It was very edutaining and informative. I'm a type 4 low porosity girl and will definitely be wearing more wash n gos to grow my hair going forward. Congrats on that length btw! Keep up the good work. :)
LOVE LOVE LOVE this video...AND YOU Cousin!!!! I heard no lies here!!! Yes, being a lazy natural my go-to style has been a wash n go since my big chop back in 2015. And like you, I'm a Gel rocking natural (Eco on mines ALL DAY) and don't touch my hair for 1-2 weeks after initially washing/styling it! Also like you, I too have low-po hair so it takes a full day just for my hair to completely dry from root to tips, so I SHO' ain't bothering my curls in no 3 days! No ma'am! Keep up to good content cousin!
I finally found one product that can give me a good wash and go. Ever since then I wear them everyday. My hair grew a little but it’s only been a month. I’m changing my hair regimen to see if I was breaking my hair. I even stopped using combs unless I really need to. I cannot wait for it to get longer because I am seeing some growth. Plus I’m using Jcbo too
I started doing wash and goes recently because 1) I now work out 3 to 5 days a week and needed to cleanse my hair and scalp and 2) It’s been hotter than 40 yards of hell in Chicago lately which makes it more comfortable to do wash and goes. I’m finding that my hair is loving the moisture and hydration even from just co-washing once a week. I shampoo once a week. I rarely stretch my wash and goes longer than 4 days because my type 4 (mostly 4c hair) starts to tangle. Don’t know if I’ll continue come winter because the thought of dealing with soaking wet hair when it’s under 32 degrees outside makes me shiver.
Katherine Miller same here! It’s been hot in LA so I had to take my wig off and wear a wash and go lol. I work out 6 days a week so washing my hair will be a lot simpler.
Katherine Miller yea. I do the same thing. I wish it could last longer, but my hair start tangling too. Working out more has made it easier.
Katherine Miller i wear wash n goes in the winter but its bc i have a hair dryer
Invest in a seated hooded dryer for your home. Going outside in the cold with wet hair in the winter can mess up your hair and hooded dryers cut my dry time from all day to 20-30 mins
Bluntly Blake Thanks! I have a hooded dryer and use it when I do my midweek wash and gos to dry my hair before I go to bed. Even with the dryer, I think I’ll be shivering when I’m styling my soaking wet hair in the winter.
Love the video😍 the only reason I pick my hair on the first day is so it doesn’t like so shrunken. But I do t pick it to the point where my roots are crying for Jesus. But I like my hair to look frizzy and curly at the same time
My wash and gos were going great but then my hair started shrinking more and more and I don't have volume so I didn't like the outcome at all. I tried cutting it into a decent shape but that didn't work out either. So I do more of a "wash and fro" look. I'm gonna wait till it grows out more. But it seems like the more it grows the more it shrinks. 😤😤😤
gigglyfitzgirl have you tried the banding method?
Allison Yes, and my hair shrinks back up again within the hour. Sigh.
gigglyfitzgirl band over night.
Allison Tried it. Looked like trash the next morning
Hey Girl, I JUST started doing something that’s really reduced my shrinkage. I started doing a proper deep conditioning treatment. Like, before I thought I was deep conditioning, but I was really just leaving it on for about 5 minutes in the shower. I’m impatient 🤷🏽♀️. But I saw a UA-cam video about proper deep conditioning and thought I’d give it a try. Whoah! Like, model hair. I couldn’t believe it! I got one of those heat holding silver caps from Amazon. It doesn’t make the hair HOT, but it does hold in a fair a amount of body heat. And I left it on for about an hour. I’m sure it could work with a half hour. But the result was so worth it! My hair started out long and stayed long all week, but didn’t have the flattening effect on my curls that some methods do. Like banding.
One more thing, if you’re into a styling product option. Dark and Lovely makes an “anti shrinkage” product in their Au Naturale line. That works too, but I stopped using it because I didn’t love the way it made my hair feel even several days after styling. I don’t mind a hard gel cast, but this was a little bit sticky. Worth a shot, though, if you’ve tried everything else. I will say that my hair LOOKED great from day 1, with no hard gel cast, so that’s good. I’m probably just too much of a creature of habit...
I tell all my friends about you but especially your cg method videos to start them off until they find their own methods.....I followed you and my hair grew from collar bone to "boob" length in like 6 months.....so after that I've only been doing wash n gos and my hair doesn't shed as often nor do I get split ends - like literally at all - (I trimmed in March and haven't seen any split ends yet)
I’ve been doing mostly protective braids since my big chop (and because it’s summer so it’s too hot to have my fro in my face lol) but it’s good to know that during the cooler months doing wash and go’s won’t affect my hair growth
I loved this video. I agree 100. I mostly wear wash n gos too. I find nothing wrong with it.
Thanks Amber. I've yet to figure out the wash and go technique that works for me. I will be trying some of your tips
Thank you!!!! Now i know I'm not the only one who does this and it actually works
I use gel but I don’t get gel cast so, I never really worry about them.
I have been subscriber and watching you for awhile, but never leave a comment. I had to this time because I took your advice and stopped hating on my gel cast. Let me say it's the best advice I have heard. I let my hair get hard and let it be. Srcunched hair oil in my hair on the 3rd. Honey best wash and go to date. Plus I also replaced my leave in with hair milk. Let's just say I got new routine and moisturized poppin curls.
Loved the video ! Can we see more product recommendation videos or staple products ?
Officiallysasha TV sure!
I never fluff my wash n go😂😂 my nightly pineapple stretches it enough... and i love a good gel cast!!! Ive been starting to wear middle parts and i slicked my hair behind my ears and it NEVER dried!!! Even after 2-3 days. So how do you slick down the front and ensure it stays in place and it DRIES???
Oh and ive told you already the wet brush changed my wash n go game!
I'm watching this because I've been wearing wash n gos everyday for a year. Consistently I wash once a week and my hair lasts a week. I dont pick out the curls at all for the "full look" But I rarely put gel in my hair. When I put oil in my hair it sheds more, curls frizz more and is more difficult to detangle but I still try to do it. Lately I was debating trying something else but this is motivating me. Though my real issue is trying to combat shedding. Looking at the hair that comes out in the shower my hair seems to be coming out at the roots. I'm struggling with this for a month now. But hopefully I find the cause soon.
Did you see growth?
Those tips addressed all the things that have made me avoid trying to do a wash n go.
Very informative 🧞♀️I always enjoy your videos. I learn so much and to not always believe the hype on products. Just keeping it simple🤗
Yes absolutely I love that hard cast especially that cream of nature snot gel 💓 but stretching my hair and twisting my hair up always work for me.
I've seen some progress when I was washing my hair today, the front of my hair used to be real short compare to the back and when I got done washing I was able to see my hair as it was just hanging, I was so happy 😂 my front hair touches my nose now 💓💓
so glad you made this video!!!! your the wash n go queen 👸🏾
Thank you! I've actually never been able to have a successful wash and go without the gel cast, and I watch other UA-camrs that say that they have never had a gel cast & im like "well what am I doing wrong then?😂"
Your hair is obviously beautiful. I wish I could have a gel cast that doesn't break my hair's ends. My hair can't even tolerate holding spray. Crazy!? I am still getting my hair routine together. Oh well, you take care! I do enjoy your vids!!
