Wash 'N' Go

Hey Guys,

I finally took out my mini twists this weekend, and after thee weeks.... those twists were ready to crawl off my head..lol
De-tangling was not as bad as I thought it would be.. I simply parted my hair into sections, sprayed each section thoroughly with a mix of water and olive oil. I slowly separated each section of hair with my fingers, and then de-tangled using a wide comb,and my tangle teaser.

After washing I decided to try out the 'curl junkie' products I bought. I stated off with the 'Curl Rehad' which I used to deep condition my hair.

I let this sit on my hair for about 5 hours.. ( I off course was taking a nap while all of this deep conditioning goodness was going on.)
After I rinsed this out my hair felt soft.. and smooth to touch..
Then I decided to try a wash and go style..
I parted my hair into sections, and then applied the 'Curls Assurance Smoothing Lotion' followed by the 'Curls in a bottle'



The result:

On day 2, I just spritzed my hair with waster.. fluffed.. and voila

While I was styling my hair.. it was extremely white, and I thought it was going to be like my Eco-Styler experiment but it ended up being a very successful "Wash N Go style. By the time my hair dried, all the white residue was gone, and my curls looked beautiful. I will definitely try this style again.

Hope you enjoyed..

Wash-N- Go Fail

Hey guys,

I decided to explore the world of Wash-n-go's and let's just say... my hair refused to wash and go.  I had watched a ton of youtube videos and I was certain I had got the hang of this whole wash-n-go business but it did not turn out the way I expected...

Tools I Used:

• Shea Moisture curl enhancing smoothie
• Shea moisture balancing conditioner
• Eco-Styler Hair gel
• My spray bottle with water, olive oil and peppermint oil
• Wide tooth comb for detangling
• Smaller tooth comb for smoothing out the hair

The Styling:
I started out on freshly co-washed hair.

I parted my hair into 5 sections one in the back, two on either side, and two on top.
I made sure each section was wet and I used the spray bottle to re-wet as needed
I applied some of the Shea moisture balancing conditioner, as my leave-in.
Then I parted out smaller sections and worked a little bit of the curl enhancing smoothie on each section.
I followed with the Eco-styler gel and smoothed it through the hair to make sure I applied the product thoroughly.


The Good Part:

1. I got super super defined curls, that I never even knew existed on my head !!!! 

1. Major major major shrinkage, which I actually don't mind
2. My hair was not super crunchy as it was the last time i tried a wash and go, but I know the curl enhancing smoothie helped to reduce the crunch.

The Bad Part :(

I styled my hair at night and put on a plastic cap expecting it to be dry sometime early the next day...... UH!!!!! I woke up in the morning my hair was almost still soaking wet, and even by 5pm the next day my hair was still wet :(

My hair was filled with white clumpy stuff that was not even cute.. at all...

Some parts just came out all mis-shaped and just ughh!!

Next Time: 

1. I will probably use just the curl enhancing smoothie
2. I will also probably go easy on the Eco-styler ( I may have been a little bit heavy handed with it)
3. Maybe use a blow-dryer to quicken the drying process.

Anyways guys, I will probably try another wash-n-go real soon and hopefully it turns out better this time.

If you have any tips on how I can get a more successful wash-n-go style next time please leave your comments or just share your own wash-n-go experiences..

XOXO
