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!!
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.
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!
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 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.
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 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.
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 :-)
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?
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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
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 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!
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
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.
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 :-)
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!! :)
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
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.
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?
This is a good video. I just gavr s few questions. First of all i have 4b/4c hair, my texture is very mixed. Its also very pourous, do you think this will work for my hair? What type of hair do you have? How long does that wash n go last? If to the next day how do you sleep on it?
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?
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. 💜
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
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???
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 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.
Hey what are your top products that you use. I just did the big chop and now I have a small tappered cut and my curls are very dry. Can you tell me what you use
What would you recommend for naturals with multiple textures? I've got highly coiled hair on the right side of my head and loose waves on the left. Not sure if I can do a wash and go because of this.
Great video! Can the kinky curly custard be used as the gel soufflé? Also how do you maintain your wash and go? How long does the style last? Thanks so much for sharing!!
Thank you for watching! Absolutely, you can use the kinky curly vs the gel souffle. To maintain, I simply sleep with a satin bonnet at night (without pinapple-ing) and in the morning I just separate and fluff with coconut oil. The style lasts me for 5 days.
Love it! I've tried a wng 2x's & didn't like the results. I'll try again this summer & follow your regimine. Also did your hair dryer come w/the diffuser attachment? Tfs
+S. Pierce The longer my hair gets the more the curl pattern looks stretched. Right now my hair looks just like hers but its not quite her length. And its more defined because its moisturized.

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)

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:(

+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
Love your definition! I am going to have to try the praying hands method on my hair versus raking product through hair
Very nice routine. Beautiful wash n go. I like the shape of your hair.
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!!
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!
This was by far the best wash n go routine ever. I love it. And the products are reasonably prices. Thanks April.
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.
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.
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!

can you show us day 2 hair? or how you maintain the wash and go throughout the week
Nice! Our hair textures are very similar...the curl pattern and density.
Love!!!!! I have to remember to stick with praying hands instead of raking to help eliminate some frizz! Thanks!
Hey Val, thanks for watching ! ☺️

Oh dear, I love this wash and go. What is that gardiner fructis? I must try it
GREAT results! I can't wait to try this method!
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
wow fabulous hair... do you have any tips with frizz from humidity ... those are my biggest issues!!! Thanks
Love this wash n go hun! I havent tried a defined wash and go in ages..and this is making me want to try and use a diffuser/hair dryer next time x

Ok going to try this method this weekend will keep you posted ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thanks for the video. Have you tried the DevaCurl hair product line? It is specifically for naturally curly and wavy hair.
Nice video! Love how your hair turned out. These products don't work for me but i see no reason to dislike this video. 🙂
I love this video and I'm going to try it this weekend.
I think that you do it the best way i seen on you tube by far hands down love it have a blessed day
I love your hair! I wish my natural texture was like that.
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.
this is fabulous!!!! I love it. Thank you so much for sharing!
This is a good video. I just gavr s few questions. First of all i have 4b/4c hair, my texture is very mixed. Its also very pourous, do you think this will work for my hair? What type of hair do you have? How long does that wash n go last? If to the next day how do you sleep on it?
I didn't know you also did hair videos as well as remodel videos congrats on both!!!!
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.
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. 💜

Deep condition, deep condition, deep condition!
Going to try today.. what hair type are you???
Your hair is gorgeous!
Love this!!! Your hair is the closest I could find to my curl texture.. new sub here...
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. :-)

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. =)
Can you do a how to start a TH-cam channel, your experiences as a TH-camr, the pros and cons and your advice for youtubers just starting off,,, ?
Your hair is gorgeous! And we have similar hair patterns, yay!
Hey what are your top products that you use. I just did the big chop and now I have a small tappered cut and my curls are very dry. Can you tell me what you use
What would you recommend for naturals with multiple textures? I've got highly coiled hair on the right side of my head and loose waves on the left. Not sure if I can do a wash and go because of this.
Great video! Can the kinky curly custard be used as the gel soufflé? Also how do you maintain your wash and go? How long does the style last? Thanks so much for sharing!!
Thank you for watching! Absolutely, you can use the kinky curly vs the gel souffle. To maintain, I simply sleep with a satin bonnet at night (without pinapple-ing) and in the morning I just separate and fluff with coconut oil. The style lasts me for 5 days.
Thank you April! This really helps. I did a wash and go this weekend and to my surprise it actually looked decent. Thanks for all your tips!
Love it! I've tried a wng 2x's & didn't like the results. I'll try again this summer & follow your regimine. Also did your hair dryer come w/the diffuser attachment? Tfs
Yes ma'am it did! Thanks for watching !
This was great! Thanks a lot for sharing. I love you channel :) Keep up the good work.
How long does this style last?
Do you use a Texturizer or Curly softener. Your hair and curl pattern are so nice.
+S. Pierce texturizers are pretty much relaxers that don't completely straighten your curls. I'm quite sure she's full natural.
No, her hair is fine the way it is. She doesn't need a curl softener.
+Cindy99765 OP wasn't saying she needed one. She was asking if she used one, because her hair texture is very nice and defined.
+S. Pierce The longer my hair gets the more the curl pattern looks stretched. Right now my hair looks just like hers but its not quite her length.
And its more defined because its moisturized.
Her hair is natural.
love it!
