I'm calling it the Mane and Chic technique not to say I invented the style, but to explain my exact procedure. You may have a different technique and that's fine. Everybody's hair is different. You might start out doing things the way I do it and then tweak it to fit your hair. You may even find a much better way of doing it. Whatever the case, it's all fine so long as you're happy with your hair in the end. The most important point here is to make sure your hair is smooth and detangled when it's wet and never ever touch your Wash and Go set until your hair is completely dry.
QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? PLEASE LEAVE THEM IN THE COMMENTS.
What type of conditioner you use for wash and go...... I find that many conditioners leave me with a itch scalp.
ReplyDeleteAlso can you ever wet your hair too much. Can you wet your hair every day and it will be okay.
Your not supposed to be applying conditioner to your scalp. Are you?
ReplyDeleteI use Kinky-Curly Knot Today, Suave, Aussie Moist and I experiment with a lot of others, but I am sure to only apply it to the length of my hair, not my scalp.
Many people wet their hair every day. Many people don't. It's subjective. It's relative. It depends on you and your hair. For some people it's a must to wet their hair everyday. For others it can be detrimental.
Experiment. Figure out what your hair likes. You have to do what works for you.
This question deserves it's on post because there are several reasons why daily watering can be good or bad. It depends on what you're doing and some other factors like pH, porosity and hygral fatigue.
I'll work on posting something about this in the future.
Any 4a/4b's want to share how they do their wash and go's? i'm a 4A and i co wash in the shower and detangle. Once out i seal in moisture with shea, add leave in and let air dry.
ReplyDelete@Mane&Chic What are you cleansing your hair with? ACV, Shampoo Bar, etc? I personally don't find my hair cleansed with co-washing.
ReplyDelete@D. I use shampoo and acv and occasionally I expriment with shampoo bars.
ReplyDeleteMy hands can't go through my hair once its dried ;-)
ReplyDeleteI love the way new of doing your hair post. Especially since everyone is so worried about why you don't show your face. smh I still don't why it is an issue. GREAT POST! Wash and go's are my fav. and I have type 4a hair.
ReplyDeleteI have not come close to mastering the technique of wash n go's on my 4A hair. No matter what, I always end up with a bush!
ReplyDelete@laurennicolle what is your wash and go technique?
ReplyDelete@coffee I co wash in the shower. my conditioners usually change between hello hydration and suave's coconut conditioner . Since I still have somewhat of a TWA I detangle with a babybliss scalp massage brush, haha it works just fine. Apply Giovanni direct leave-in and I am pretty much done. Also, to define curls... I co wash with conditioner, use Carols Daughter "some of maguerite's magic" hairdress, then kinky curly curling custard. I comb each section in an upward motion with babybliss to define curls. WHEW! I hope this helps... btw, I do not get residue with mixing the CD hairdress and kinky curly.
