I just tried this method (with different products) and my curls were the most defined they've ever been... I've been natural for 10 years and never had a successful wash n go because my crown is 4c and is difficult to get a curl that can at least blend with the rest of my hair a little. After watching this video, I used this technique with products best suited for me and voila! It was like magic - my roommate asked what I did because she saw the curls. I really believe that this technique works for all types 4 and 3 hair as long as you find the product that works best for you with the style you are trying to accomplish.
My 4c hair doesn't exactly "curl" - just turns into cute zig-zag locks and it blends well with the rest that is curly... like well enough that several colleagues noticed and commented. Some asking me what I did to my hair - it was a proud moment lol. Deep conditioner - Argan Oil Hair Mask by Pure Body Naturals Shampoo - any Shea moisturizer (but I know there is a better option... just haven't found it yet) Conditioner - Shea moisturizer restorative (the key is to apply enough conditioner that your hair becomes drenched and weighted with the amount of definition you hope to have when you hair is dry... I have no idea why this works but it does) Moisturizer - Curls Creme Brulee (once again use very liberally) Gel - Eco styling gel (essential for my 4c areas) Anti-frizz - Garnier Fructis (same as in video) Oil - cocnut oil Takes hours to dry because of the gel, but the white residue does disappear once it's dry. Hope that helps!
Hi, I just watched this video last night and tried it out today and my hair looks ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Trust me when I say I have NEVER been able to perfect a wash and go after 3 years of being natural. They always look ridiculously frizzy with undefined curls, but this is great!!! Defined curls, no frizz, and no huge puff. Thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing , you have been a God send/ guidance for me because I am now starting to go weave free after wearing protective styles for a year & half after transitioning. I can see my curl pattern starting to define after I started using Shea moisture products & your amazing DIY DC smoothie, once a week for the last month. It really makes my twist out's look nice & keeps my hair very soft & manageable. I think I can try the wash & go now since my hair has been quenched / remoisturized. Thanks again April 👍.
Isnt it amazing when we finally find what works for our hair? Especially when it comes to a wash n go. Ooh lawd knows its tiring but ladies dont give up! We have wonderful woman such as April sharing their tips and tricks when it comes to styling and caring for natural hair. Thank you for this video! Stay blessed. Oh and a lot of ppl sleepin on that souffle but im telling yall, just give it a try! I was hesistant at first too but im glad i did because now its a must have.
Hi I agree with Ms. Cornitcher. I got a fabulous wash and go for the first time!! My sister who is a die hard hair relaxer is now asking me how I got my hair to look like this and she now is thinking of going natural!! Thanks!!
Finally a wash n go routine I like, is not difficult and looks like it might work on my hair with the products I have and like using on my hair. Yayyy I'm trying this tomorrow but I might have to improvise since I don't have a diffuser yet. Thanks for the simple and well explained instructions! Yayyyy!
this video is perfect especially with the shower washing touch. I have been natural for a while but yet to train my curl that's there without effort. Great tips to start it with.
Thanks for this video! I recently did a wash n go that I finally liked but your tips should help me take it to another level. I can't wait to try! Wash day is tomorrow! Yay!
Clearly she stole my hair right off my head. We have the exact same curl pattern and or hair is dyed in the exact same place...I guess I should subscribe to keep an eye on this hair thief
If I were you I wouldn't focus so much on the curl pattern, however I would consider myself as having type 4a hair (s-curls) with some 4b around the (mainly front) edges
I agree with everyone. This hands down is the best wash and go video. I also use the garnier serum, and I always use it before I use my products. I'm gonna have to use it after I apply my products.
I will be sure to try this method. I did a wash n go for the first time in a while and it came out okay, but it was very frizzy in the back with puffy roots. I will also try the conditioner detangling method because I had a big problem detangling my curls.
This was awesome!!! We have similar hair textures so it was great to see your definition AND shine. The products I've use have given me pretty good definition, but not shine....more dull, even ashy looking. One product gave me great shine and definition but my hair was super greasy. But your method looks awesome. Definitely going to try it. Thanks for sharing and going to check out your updated version :-)
My winter wash n go's have all been EPIC fails, so I've been mostly sporting wigs. I think I'm going give it one more try with this method. Thanks for posting.
Great tutorial, I'm out for spring break and I'm going to experiment with wash and go. I've always been nervous about trying, but with the next few days off I can see if the Attleboro keep.
one of if not the best and most informational video I've seen in 3 years.... Great tips, easy to understand and you actually show what you do.... kudos to you and thank you..
I have employed your techniques and revisited Eco Styler gel and I must say that this is my best wash n go ever! My hair looks like yours, just a little shorter. Thank you so much!
Your wash-n-go is bomb!! Definitely trying some of your tips and tricks for tomorrow. I don't have the curl souffle and the serum, so the coconut oil and argan oil eco styler gel will have to do for now.
Great video. Crazy I just recorded a wash n go for my texlaxed hair. Your hair is gorgeous. I get the feeling wed have similar textures if I were natural as well.
You and I have similar hair texture so I'm hoping your methods will work with my hair. I may even buy some of the products you use. Good video with useful information.
Great video sis! Picked up some new tips. Thank you. I'm going to try my SM souffle under my Eco. And look into that Garnier serum. Beautiful wash and go!
Thank you so much for showing this routine. My hair texture is exactly like yours so I'm def going to look for the products you used, thanks for sharing :-)
great video I have been doing my wash an go in a similar way and it works great. I omit the shea mositure and just use coconut oil and eco styler gel and I get awesome results. thanks for sharing
Reminds me of my last wash-n-go, it was ON POINT and I got a full 7 days (could have worn it longer! 👍 I would like to do it weekly but afraid of the cold & the wear-n-tare on my stands, but I guess all the product layering protects it some what! April Bee
Great video, Great Results! I can never get my roots to lay down so they always look poffy. I'll try your method and see if it works. One question, can I achieve this without a diffuser?
I love this tutorial. I've been natural about 2 years and my curl pattern is FINALLY the way I like. With the wash and go method what do you do for day to day maintenance? Do you have a morning routine or just tie it at night and shake out in the morning?
Love your hair! I tried wash and goes exclusively, but the tangles got the best of me, I had to comb it and brush it to detangle and I lost length. Once it grows back I'll try again
I love your method... you have a few extra steps that to a routine I used over the summer. I will definitely be trying out your method. :) I am just wondering what do you do to keep your hair in that style for a few days... for me once I go to sleep I mess it up. I'd love to know how you handle yours at night. Thanks for sharing such a great tutorial!! :)
I really appreciate this video, I had my ish together, then I switched it up and it was fail, fail, fail. Back on track now. I do the tresseme with/baking soda. Then Shea moisture curl enhancing smoothie, Shea moisture gel, then argon ecco style. Geeseeeeh😥.The struggle is real.
we have the exact same texture! I'm starting to do wash and go's now. Does your hair get tangled easily? and do you have a favorite product for your wash and go?
My hair type is similar to yours and I was wondering was your hair ever shorter than the length that you have now? And if so when it was shorter did it move the way it does now? My hair is about under the earlobes and it just doesn't really move unless I put in twist then it moves, but if I'm trying to shake my curls loose or into place it doesn't move. I was just wondering if your hair went through that phase? I've got shake and movement envy.
God bless you, April. You have the patience to do all of this. My fro is only 2 inches and I barely feel like washing it on wash days....even though it takes about 10 mins lolol
Awesome wash n go! This is how i do mine as well but I use flaxseed gel instead of the am curling soufflé. I have used the soufflé and I like it but flaxseed gel is convenient and cheap. Lol
Anthony Simone Carpio Yes I do. I follow naptural 85's recipe with my own minor changes. Its been very good for my hair and gives awesome definition. I use the fsg for definition and the Eco styler for hold.
Hi! That was a great hair tutorial. Can you tell me how many times do you do that....your Winter Wash N Go. How many times do you wash your hair and to have it that curly hair. I love it. :-)
my little niece just had her braids removed so that her hair could breathe freely over the summer. i'm at my wit's end trying to figure out how to manage her hair. i just pray that her hair hasn't locked over the past week and that your technique works! thanks
Your Literally my inspiration your so gorgeous and I love ur hair mine is like that to just way shorter soo im protective styling it for a year so it'll get longer 😉any tips on growing natural hair???
i cannot wait to do this on my hair. Your hair is gorgeous and i hope my results are just as good as yours. I have a question, do you think the Shea Moisture curling cream can work as a replacement for the gel soufle?
Wow. I can't believe you used to be relaxed. I loved watching your videos then and even more so now. Wish I had that texture, I'd switch in a heartbeat☺. Keep up the good work April. You're an inspiration for everyone. 💜
this was relaxing to watch. i love seeing black hair in it's various forms! thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much for watching !

+Anicia Ivey Wonderful! Im so glad this worked for you! Thanks for sharing :)
+Anicia Ivey could you share it please? I have 4C hair too lol thanks
My 4c hair doesn't exactly "curl" - just turns into cute zig-zag locks and it blends well with the rest that is curly... like well enough that several colleagues noticed and commented. Some asking me what I did to my hair - it was a proud moment lol.
Deep conditioner - Argan Oil Hair Mask by Pure Body Naturals
Shampoo - any Shea moisturizer (but I know there is a better option... just haven't found it yet)
Conditioner - Shea moisturizer restorative (the key is to apply enough conditioner that your hair becomes drenched and weighted with the amount of definition you hope to have when you hair is dry... I have no idea why this works but it does)
Moisturizer - Curls Creme Brulee (once again use very liberally)
Gel - Eco styling gel (essential for my 4c areas)
Anti-frizz - Garnier Fructis (same as in video)
Oil - cocnut oil
Takes hours to dry because of the gel, but the white residue does disappear once it's dry.
Hope that helps!
Alright going to give this a try, but I don't have the Garnier Fructis:(
Anicia Ivey
Gorgeous results Hun!
Thanks Amber!!
@@AprilBee Thanks , what setting was the blow dryer on when you were stretching it ?
I have vowed no more wash and go's because my shrinkage is soooooo bad. But I might try again using your method. Thanks for sharing! :)

+Francine Baker Thanks for watching!
i just did my first Wash and Go after being natural for year and a half! this was so helpful
Very nice routine. Beautiful wash n go. I like the shape of your hair.
Great tutorial of your wash n go April. Thanks for sharing:-)
Thanks for watching!!
Gorgeous! My hair shrinks so bad so I just do a twist out after my wash and go has dried. I will have to try this method out! Great video!

Oh and a lot of ppl sleepin on that souffle but im telling yall, just give it a try! I was hesistant at first too but im glad i did because now its a must have.
Thank you sooo much!!
Love your definition! I am going to have to try the praying hands method on my hair versus raking product through hair
Your hair is so gorgeous! I'm scared to try wash and go's because my shrinkage is so bad! I may try using this method tho.
Good luck! Thanks for watching !
Ikr, she didn't have hardly any shrinkage!
Beautiful!!!!!! May God bless you and keep you and give you peace.
Best detailed video on this style on TH-cam... Will be trying this ASAP!!! New subby!
Thank you for subscribing! ☺️
I absolutely love your hair. I just discovered your channel and I'm glad I did. I'm currently transitioning and I hope my texture is like this.
This was by far the best wash n go routine ever. I love it. And the products are reasonably prices. Thanks April.
Damn she went in! Beautiful results!
This is the best wash and go I've seen yet😍😍😍😍😍
Love!!!!! I have to remember to stick with praying hands instead of raking to help eliminate some frizz! Thanks!
Hey Val, thanks for watching ! ☺️

This is by far my favorite wash-n-go video! I never knew how to incorporate a blow dryer without the whole frizz factor. Very helpful :)

Nice! Our hair textures are very similar...the curl pattern and density.
wow fabulous hair... do you have any tips with frizz from humidity ... those are my biggest issues!!! Thanks
I love this tutorial. I've been natural about 2 years and my curl pattern is FINALLY the way I like. With the wash and go method what do you do for day to day maintenance? Do you have a morning routine or just tie it at night and shake out in the morning?
Oh dear, I love this wash and go. What is that gardiner fructis? I must try it
this is fabulous!!!! I love it. Thank you so much for sharing!
Girl I love it! I believe we have the same texture my hair is a little shorter but I need to try those products and your method!! Thanks a lot chica!

You did well. It almost resembles the weaves some women like to wear (no pun intended). Good Job! :-)
Ok going to try this method this weekend will keep you posted ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yay!
I really appreciate this video, I had my ish together, then I switched it up and it was fail, fail, fail. Back on track now. I do the tresseme with/baking soda. Then Shea moisture curl enhancing smoothie, Shea moisture gel, then argon ecco style. Geeseeeeh😥.The struggle is real.
we have the exact same texture! I'm starting to do wash and go's now. Does your hair get tangled easily? and do you have a favorite product for your wash and go?
simplycbh no, I change up my wash and go products pretty often so I dont have a favorite.
I love your hair! I wish my natural texture was like that.
This was great! Thanks a lot for sharing. I love you channel :) Keep up the good work.
Subbing because your hair is gorgeous!

I bc'd at 1 year post. So my hair wasn't always this length. I used to have a short afro. Length and movement will come with time.
Thank you, there is hope for movement! I thought I was doing something wrong with my hair. =)
God bless you, April. You have the patience to do all of this. My fro is only 2 inches and I barely feel like washing it on wash days....even though it takes about 10 mins lolol
I feel you...I definitely have my lazy days lol
can you show us day 2 hair? or how you maintain the wash and go throughout the week
Can't wait til my hair grows this much!! I did a wash n go for short natural hair I'd love for you to watch 💜
Nice! Can you do a video on how you maintain your wash n go's thaxs!!
Your hair is gorg😍😍😍 Can you show us an unstretched wng at your current length?
I didn't know you also did hair videos as well as remodel videos congrats on both!!!!
I love it! I need to try these products and see if they work for me.
Awesome wash n go! This is how i do mine as well but I use flaxseed gel instead of the am curling soufflé. I have used the soufflé and I like it but flaxseed gel is convenient and cheap. Lol

April, how long do your styles last? Can you make a video of how it all looks at the end of a long, hard day?
Love this!!! Your hair is the closest I could find to my curl texture.. new sub here...
my little niece just had her braids removed so that her hair could breathe freely over the summer. i'm at my wit's end trying to figure out how to manage her hair. i just pray that her hair hasn't locked over the past week and that your technique works! thanks

Deep condition, deep condition, deep condition!
Thanks for the video. Have you tried the DevaCurl hair product line? It is specifically for naturally curly and wavy hair.
how long does the style last & how do you prep it for bedtime?
Love this tutorial and your tips! The result looks great! You've got another subscriber! *thumbs up*
Styled in Black Thanks for subscribing!!
You're welcome! :)
i cannot wait to do this on my hair. Your hair is gorgeous and i hope my results are just as good as yours. I have a question, do you think the Shea Moisture curling cream can work as a replacement for the gel soufle?
I would suggest a gel vs the cream.
You are my hair twin
omg this is so helpful
Yay! So glad I can help! 😁
Your hair is gorgeous!
Your hair is gorgeous! And we have similar hair patterns, yay!
