    Heyyyy if you’re still a bit new to this wash & go thing, here’s a few more helpful tips I wish someone told me before I cried in front of the mirror for hours :)
    • if your ends are bone straight, just cut your hair man. Don’t hold onto it, it’s not worth it, & it’ll save you from many frustrated ugly mirrors cries.
    • if you want a more voluminous wash and go, style with lighter hair products and maybe skip out on the gel (*con*) doesn’t last as long / tends to get frizzy after 2-3 days
    • if you want a more defined / weighed down / elongated wash and go, style with heavier products (like thick creams and butters) and gels
    (*con*) less volume, lots of product buildup
    • it’s okay to experiment! everyone’s hair is different, maybe you don’t like any of the styles mentioned in this video, but you can create your own :) dedicate some time to just go crazy
    • rinsing your curls with cold water helps a lot with frizz! I mean ALOT. If you don’t like cold showers, just bend your head over the stream.
    • layers are your friend. Layers bring endless possibilities, lots of volume, and so much depth. If you haven’t already, invest in a cool haircut! (You know if you want.)

      I noticed that putting a foam overtop my gel made a more voluminous but longer lasting curls. Like the foam makes it harder to have a gel cast, but the gel still keeps the curls in their form for much longer

      I feel like it’s also the brush type too and what you do after. Like when I brush my hair with a comb in the shower, put it in a top bun and towel for a bit, then put it in a bonnet over night and it comes out with different looking curls than I usually have lol

    These are great tips! I’ve been natural since 2003 and I realize I was clueless. I typically have the wet long look and just refer to it as first day hair. I have to wait a few days to get rounded look. I will try new method next wash.

    Gorgeous hair!!! So do you think most curly salons do it the the rounded way? Or do you think they place gel all over the hair and shake the roots for volume?
