Something important to remember is that if your hair is chronically dehydrated (coated in oils constantly) this method will take some time to work. What happens is you’re removing the big oily band aid revealing the crisp underneath. It will be frizzy and dry until your hair can begin to absorb moisture (water) again. Personally I saw immense improvement in my hair after a few months into the detox. It didn’t take those months to get improvement (my improvement was within the 30 days) but it only kept improving. I use products on occasion with oils in the 4th or 5th ingredient and have used oils as an emergency band aid when I overwashed my hair. What’s important is washing frequently (at LEAST once a week) to avoid the matting and tangles, using a gentle detangling brush (like Felicia leatherwood) if needed, and to find what products work for you. As long as it’s not stuffed with oils and butters imho it’s fine to use. I use the doux, UFD, kinky curly, pacifica, not your mothers, and mielle organics mainly.
UFD is definitely sticky, especially if one doesn’t use enough water. I had the same experience as you when I washed my hair after the wash and go and my hair felt squeaky clean (even before shampoo - It happened after week 4 though for me). This method is so interesting and difficult to maneuver, especially since we are so used to having a coating on our hair. I haven’t tried a twistout but I did a flat twist out with just foam/mousse and it felt strange applying the products but the next day? I hair felt so light and fluffy.
I have found adding lots of water help. I use a fine mist water bottle when styling on soaking wet hair. By the time I am done the bottle is empty. I use very warm water. I actually have no stickiness at all. The kinky curly curling custard actually gives me stickiness but I ave not used it in ages also I seem to go through it faster. I have jars in my stash so I might try it one more time
Heyyy Jenn, Yer I felt my squeaky clean hair after just getting it wet today. It was quite shocking, but I remembered what u said. And hopefully I will get to try the UFD+ICH combo
@@tmcurly 🤔 Here’s a technique I tried that may help you use less water (I also live in a super-humid climate, so this may not work where you live): after rinsing your conditioner, gently squeeze excess water from the hair. Apply and distribute UFD throughout whole head, massage and saturate, THEN mist with water, then massage and smooth until you feel the product-water is evenly distributed. You can either add your topper(s) from there, and then define, or just define with the UFD. Doing it this way has helped me get my ratios right, ensure that I don’t use too much product, and helps me control frizz a little better. I hope this helps!
@@tmcurly when I used to do the maximum Hydration method, they said to add water to the kkkc and its leave in in a separate container to make more gel (it just thickens back up to make more gel, so you would be saving money and doubling up on each use. Works for other gels too!
That was the perfect response to the oils debate 👏🏾👏🏾 Thank you for being a voice of reason. Thank you also for teaching us better techniques to make the products work for us and last longer 🙌🏾🙌🏿
I prepoo the night before so I can wash my hair in twists… I think the key to this method is adapting to your needs 🤷🏾♀️ this way is the only way I keep my actual wash day under 1 hour
For real tho, when she was in the shower with tangled hair and on top of that added shampoo without detangling, I had to clutch my invisible damn pearls lol
TBH, I thought I'd be lost without my ECO, moisturizer and coconut oil, but my hair had been dry and breaking off like crazy. Now all I'm using is a leave in hair conditioner w/hair mayo. Now it feels SO soft and is finally coming back to life.
I still feel like this is a process that does not work for everyone, even if you're doing it the right way. My hair loves deep conditioning w/ heat, hates wash n gos (gels are a no-go), and is very prone to tangling (I need more than just one step for detangling lol). I'm low porosity and I had to go completely protein-free due to protein overload. I just feel like this would be my hair's worst nightmare, but I am thankful for the information. Maybe one day when I'm where I want to be in terms of my hair journey, I will come back and try this out XD
Jenn Jackson described a similar experience washing her hair. You’re both just not used to feeling your clean hair, I think. When, you’re using water soluble products, they do rinse right off, which is part of the beauty of it all. You’ll get used to it if you continue. I’m so glad you joined See Some Curls! I know I left that comment before. Aeleise did a beautiful twist out this week and I think the video for it will be added to the library soon. Maybe you’ll get some tips. I don’t have the density or strand size for a twist out, even when my hair gets longer, so I don’t have any tips. I would never go to bed with wet hair though. I don’t think that’s good for your scalp or hair. I know you had extenuating circumstances. I don’t like sitting under the dryer myself. It’s the means to an end. It gets done what I need it to do and gives me good results. You are close to several curl artists being in L A, unlike most of us. I’m not sure how many are taking new clients. That might be something you could explore down the road. I hope you feel better soon!
Thank you Michelle! I saw you leaving helpful comments on Jenn’s channel too. Very cool of you. The good news is, I’ve have since done a successful twist out using this method. 😊 I have to film in advance, so I’m actually rounding out week 3. I do think I’ll continue past 30 days because there are more things I’d like to try before making a final decision.

Before this became a “thing” I had already discovered that a light leave in and botanical gel were the best things for my hair to thrive. However, I do find that I have to rewash every 3-4 days. Not because of lack of moisture, but to reduce the SSK’s! When I do that consistently I don’t get many at all! In fact very little tangles at all. As long as I haven’t been playing in it because sometimes I’m my own worst enemy. Anyway, I’m enjoying your journey and have found for myself that my DC sessions can have oils and butters but my styling needs lighter products! My hair looks better and my scalp breathes. All of our journeys are different and no one system is superior, just discover what works for your hair! Looking forward to week 3🤩
💯 agree with what you’ve said. I’ve noticed waaaaay less tangles when I don’t wait too long. I don’t really notice my SSKs unless it’s time for a trim though.
I'm using the method too and my hair is loving it sooo much. I'm actually using a leave in by innersense before applying uncle funkys daughter gel, because I find it easier to finger detangle and define my curls for a was n go. This leave in is super light and amazing.
Great video! I love that your showing the entire process. Wash n gos are definitely easier for me. Twists take me to long and like my curl pattern better than a twist out.
It’s nuts because you would never catch me saying “wash and gos are easier”, but they are now! 🤯 Seriously, all that practice I did has really shown itself.
I feel like I actually rely on the buildup of oil or butters on my hair to do the initial steps under the water when washing my hair. It helps me detangle before shampooing. They kind of emulsify under water and then I can shampoo once, then again to get it clean.
I feel like I’ve been unintentionally relying on the oil residue myself. Wow, I’m amazed that after 10 years I’m still learning more about my hair and routine. Blows my mind.
I really appreciate the editing here popping it to shows where you went wrong/could have done things differently/more efficiently. It's helpful for people who immediately discard a product or tool when they maybe were not using a product properly/the right product for the need or style. Advice: I didn't hear you mention it but are you using a diffuser or hooded dryer at all? Esp with the use of mousse (and esp with a twist out style) the product is *heat activated* and works best when dried under heat to get a good set. Some stylists are stressing that. And the detangling combs are also stressed...for speed but also to ensure roots are not matted and all shed hairs are gone. shed hair=fairy knots. Finger detangling actually can set us back trying to style with shed hairs staying in the mix. also my detangling (once I wash within 10 days or less) is pretty easy when I 1. Do my second shampoo (at least) with a moisturizing shampoo... I usually do some finger detangling then. 2. Leave the conditioner on my hair for at least half of the recommended time before I start to detangle and make sure to mix water in to help get that hydration into the strands before the cuticle seals down. Then I rake the conditioner thru with fingers (usually very easy...you can go on IG and see how thoroughly the stylists can do it) then I go in with a comb.
Hi LaToya, I did a twist out using clarifying shampoo, moisturizing shampoo, deep conditioner, leave-in and mousse. No extra oils or butters. My hair felt great and looked great. My first try was without the leave-in and I did not like the way it felt. Keep trying:)
I went through the See Some Curls course & if I'm not mistaken they use leave-in for twists, braids, etc... No leave in for wash&go! I'd stick with W&G until mastered..& it's summer! But I'm not an influencer🥰
Love that you’re sharing your experience. In my case I learned that around the fifth or sixth day I needed to wash my hair. Otherwise I would have a lot of tangles. For me it’s better to detaingle with a combination of my hair and a brush. The conditioner you used is an ok but it doesn’t have enough slip for me so I’m looking for another one. It’s weird feeling when your hair after shampoo doesn’t seem coated at first. But you get use to it after clarifying because it strip away everything so that’s why I always make sure to use a moisturizing shampoo
Growing up with natural hair we were taught to plait/ braid our hair at night - just quick big plaits - if it was out during the day, that would keep it soft and untangled.
You should try Camille Rose's Aloe Whipped Butter Gel for a juicy twist out. I've seen die hard 30 day detox fans rave about it even though it has oil in the 4th ingredient. I tried it myself and was very pleased with the results. No leave in required.
1️⃣ In relationship to the cosmetic chemist… It’s all about the oils being FORMULATED (hydrolyzed) into the products. Oils are great and fine, just not in excess, and there really isn’t a NEED to put RAW oils on our hair or scalp. 2️⃣ With Uncle Funky’s…WATER. If you don’t use enough water, it will be super-sticky. The hair must be completely saturated with water, and you want to add more water as you add product until you hear that “squish” sound. 3️⃣ The adjustment process IS weird, and your hair may even change, but once you’re used to it , and your hair is able to uptake water better, the tangled seem to “melt” away. You SHOULD use your detangling tool, though, as it makes things way easier. Remember, the whole point of this is to make the process easier, and faster. 4️⃣ Did you use a hooded dryer to dry your twist-out? Foams and mousses are heat-activated, so - when doing a twist-out - I’d use heat, as this will set your style so it will last. I’d also leave out the Uncle Funky’s, and just use the mousse, or a light leave-in + mousse, then dry under your dryer!
I understand the concept and the results look good but this can't be all that I do for my hair. I actually enjoy using different products and I currently have a bunch that I need to use up. However, I don't use raw oils and butters and so I will make sure to really clean my strands. Sort of a hybrid routine 😉!
I kind of cheat with this routine. I oil my scalp and spray my hair. Then I detangle and use my gel soufflé. But then I only seal my ends we with a butter lol.
I'm here! I came as fast as I could, lol. Please get well soon. *Takes a seat* I have watched a few videos of that particular TH-camr and you're not wrong. I'm here for the tea ❤
@@LaToyaEbonyHair I'd suggest you stick to wash and go for now until you start getting used to the "naked hair" feel or better still, when you get used to this whole new thing. Since your last wash and go was a bomb, why not? ❤
You almost got it. Yes, your scalp will level out from using fewer blocking products. Finger detangle before wetting; use a moisturizing shampoo. You are correct that you must emulsify the product in hand first, Way more conditioner, and use a detangling brush. The gel is not for twist-outs. Use a setting foam instead, like the Doux or Nairobi. Have fun 🤗
I have found this topic to be the most interesting of all the trends within the natural hair community. I think that’s due to that fact that it concentrates more on the health of the hair. I’ve spent more time watching videos on this topic than any other TH-cam videos, lol. It’s almost like a science class. I compare this hair detox to any other detox. I’ve always experienced great results from the process. I would like to thank LaToya because, of all the influencers her information has been the most beneficial to me in my hair journey. These videos on this topic are great if you have no clue what your hair type is etc. I’ve tried to many other options and almost everything LaToya shares works on my hair. Which is helpful in understanding my hair! I will say that it’s game changing when you find something that works on your hair, that’s good for you hair and you also like how it looks! God bless you! Praying you continue to feel better. I am looking forward to future videos! You’re beautiful inside and out! 🙏👍🏾🤎
Okay, so today I’m just getting showered with beautiful comments. 🥰🥰🥰 I’m so incredibly flattered and always willing to share my journey. You all have made me excited to get up and do this work because of feedback and I will always appreciate you taking your time out to leave such a sweet comment. 🥰❤️
I also took the complete course prior to doing my hair wash and go. I still forgot some things and I had to go back to the lesson to review. I wash my hair every 4 to 5 days but my hair is short.
Try Uncle Funkys daughter Squeaky shampoo! It's great! Lather twice with it. After the 2nd round your hair will feel nice and soft and your scalp will feel great. Follow it up with the Kinky curly knot today leave it. Run each section of your hair under warm water before applying the leave in to that section then detangle that section and go on to the next. Your hair will feel amazing and be ready for whatever styling you choose. If you're not doing a wash n go, then let it air dry 50 - 75% before styling. I'd also love to see you try the curl definition system for your wash n go. If you do try the system, swap the knot today for the leave in that they sell and follow their instructions for applying the product. You won't regret it. Effortless wash n go with lots of shine and great hold. All you need is the refresher spray and maybe a mist of water throughout the week. (Oh and my 6 year old is beside me insisting that I tell you she LOVES your videos... she really does).
I find that when I use this product, I have less issues detangling because it holds my curls in place so well that they don't mingle together as much. I'm 4c low porosity as well.
@@LaToyaEbonyHair I'm not sure why my reply keeps disappearing. Hopefully third time is a charm. The name of it is "Curl Definition". If you search that, it should be the top result.
Tks for being real & taking us on this journey with you! Excited to see you use AG & Innerscence next wk! I couldn't decide, went w/ AG Boost & Balance..whew chile❣🙌🏽 Wanna compare tho. 1 1/2 mo in, starting to love wash&gos!🥰
I do not like washing my hair in the shower and just started the no oils no butters challenge last week. First, I can’t do a wash n go. My hair doesn’t respond like these videos. 😂 So if you can try a twist out one more time it would be greatly appreciated ❤️
Love this video! I think we could be hair twins. In regards to the little knots at the end, I don't get those with wash-n-gos when I shingle my hair. I like to refer to shingling as all hair having its own place. When I set my hair with gel and shingle, my tight tiny curls keep their distance :) Despite your singing (not too bad), always listen to your gut/hair. Another note, when using a detangling brush of any kind (I love the tangle teaser with the handle), always take your time. Gently stretch the section of hair and let gravity slowly pull the brush down your strands. In other words, don't force it. The stickiness of UFD is probably the agave. These are just tips - not trying to tell yo what to do. I'm just a girl with hair like yours and a lot of experience with my natural hair and l've read a lot about the science of hair. Look forward to your next video.
Your hair looks fantastic! Essentially there are multiple ways to take care of hair. Just do what works for you and keep it moving. I’m tempted to try this but working remote I wear a protective style up to 4 weeks at a time. I used to wash and twist once a week, but I’m just not about that life anymore. 😅
Thanks for the vid. The content for this method is increasing by the day. I am a twist out/flat twist out girl and this has been one of my concerns. I am a newer natural (4C, lo po, medium density, medium strands) and have never done a wash and go. I have no plans to purchase a dryer and my hair tangles very easily which are the main reasons why I am hesitant to try it. Thanks for being transparent.
A WEEK!! That should be standard time for a successful wash n go to last. When I stretch my wash n go past a week that’s when I experience more tangles. I think the products with oils help prevent this. This challenge…….😬 IDK if this was a You thing especially since you have had great successful wash n gos. Maybe your hair is in a good state that this doesn’t fit. I’m here for the full 30.
It's perfectly fine to use a detangling brush when you feel it's needed. The bun is always a good choice when things don't go exactly as planned. If you choose to stick with it, this way of hair care does get easier. I also enjoy doing the wash n go because I was never good at twist or braid-outs. I've been doing wash n go's and this method since 2008 before I even knew it was a method. I can tell it's tough on content creators. It's the main reason I never wanted to become one. Who's going to watch someone do the same style each week using the same products over and over? LoL
I am going to try the gel and mouse combination. I love the kicky curl not today and custard combo. I clarify once a month and use a moister shampoo and conditioner the other weeks.
I'm glad that you got to the twist out part of the course! yeahhh UFD is def not recommended for twist outs cause itll never dry lol but I think you might have better success with a light leave in and foam or just foam alone. If u end up using the AG conditioner use lots of water! It's super concentrated and gets foamy (which I personally like) Some even use it as a co-wash midweek. 😁
Love your videos! I watch each one at least twice. I wasn't sure why you were trying the "no butters, no oil" . Was it an experiment only or did you think your hair had a lot of buildup? You take excellent care of your hair and your routine works really well. We appreciate your trying new things (TU) especially this no oils thing, because we heard about this "trend," But was skeptical. The chemist that was linked is "pro" using oils/butters" wisely (just like you). 🤗 Anyway, whatever you do is a fun joy! You crack us up, too! Bonus. 🥳👍🏾
Love your hair. I am very excited to see more!!! 🥰🥰. Thank you for these videos you and Jenn J! Ouidad oil shampoo or the oil shampoo in the twist line which is way cheaper, Ag boost conditioner or my personal fave ( Innersence colour radiance conditioner- it has so much slip my fingers just glide through my 4c)🥰🥰
Yes it does, to be honest both these products have very high quality ingredients. Sometimes after I finish detangling with them I put a shower cap on, tie a satin scarf and go to bed. In the morning I rinse and style. I cannot stand in the shower for too long so I get out of the shower with soaping hair or apply a bit of uncle funky whilst in shower. I use a water bottle to properly go through the sections with I create hold. My kinks, coils are super defined without and manipulating or shingling. They are tiny little curls and so beautiful 😻🥰🥰😍
I went through the See Some Curls course. My fav combo for wash and goes right now is UFD curly magic with The Doux Mousse Def. UFD definitely was a learning curve. The other thing I invested in was standing dryer. That has changed the game for me.
That’s will be great Toya also you don’t have to sit for an hour. Even for just 20-30 min until the outside of hair is completely dry at least. Like what Jenn did!!
@@melindawilliams136 I don't think so for home use. I think it's just a matter of preference. I wanted a standing hooded dryer instead of a table top one. In the price range I was looking at both had similar features and power.
Let me tell yall something...My hair is dry, not regular dry, I mean DRY DRY. I can put moisture in my hair in the morning and by the next morning its DRYYYYYYY! If I put no oils or butters in my hair for 30 day I would be doing another big chop, cause my hair would be falling out. If I don't put sustainable moisture in my hair every day, my hair will lock faster than a rich man's wallet! No oils no butter.....nah, that's a No for me Sis.
I unintentionally went over a month without my hair grease (literally oils and waxes, not petrolatum based). (It wasn't a deliberate detox, I was just alternating between broke, tired, and the product not being on the shelf when I got to the store.) The amount of knotting and breakage was insane! My twists (my usual go to style) were dry and ragged. The puff I wore after wash day? Dry as the sahara. The only time I didn't have dry hair was when I used more mouse and gel in tandem than I ever have in my life, which just led to flakes and itchy scalp. Detangling has been awful. For me, formulated products with butters and oils function the same as lotion, if that makes sense. It's interesting to see the much more positive results other people have when they do this deliberately.
@@LaToyaEbonyHair your presentation style makes it really easy to follow along and understand what you're experiencing. (Also just realized that first comment was a bit of a novel; sorry.)
It sounds like your hair was just very clean. Nothing wrong with that, Sis. It's just that with a lot of constant product usage, we miss becoming familiar with that natural, clean-hair experience. Mostly, to my slightly damp hair I add just a wee bit of oil-mixture (I experiment by varying the combinations and amounts of oils such as -- coconut oil, Jamaican black castor oil, argan oil, olive oil, even a little petroleum jelly sometimes). But it is nice to rest all that occasionally, and just enjoy my hair being 'squeaky clean' and I don't have to wash my fingers every time I touch my hair. 😊 So occasionally, I do a basic clean with my on-hand shampoo, followed by a light scalp massage with my fingers only (no bought-devices), then section and twist or plait (braid) my hair while it is still a little damp. This results in clean, soft, shiny hair; and when I untwist or loosen my plaits, the hair simply retains the impression of the twists or the plaits, and from there, it is optional how I style it -- whether pinning up sections of my hair or arranging the sections however I feel. The hair feels lighter, naturally soft, my greys have a brilliant shine, and all without any product-oil/s creeping down my forehead. 🌺
I didn’t realize it but two leave-ins I use that don’t have oil in the first five ingredients are the Giovanni direct leave in and the Beauty Without Cruelty leave in.
Anytime we use a stripping shampoo like that you should always follow up with a moisturizing shampoo before conditioner. I use that shampoo once a month but always follow with a moisturizing shampoo
I'm 8 days in and for the first time in forever my scalp isn't irritated I have no dandruff and my hair is moisturised. I've just washed conditioned and put a leave conditioner in. A one size doesn't fit all in the natural hair community. Do what works for you.
When I detangle I put the condish all in my hair, add some more water, clip it up into sections, then rewet the section, go right in w my Felicia leatherwood brush ends to root, 2 strand twist it & clip it back up, & repeat for every section. Sorry if that sounds like a lot lmao my hair is not long but it takes less than 10 mins. I used to finger detangle & then use a brush but that actually took longer & I would have more breakage. I don’t like twist outs on me but maybe try putting your leave in on in the shower & then the mousse when it’s damp not soaking? It will take less time to dry but I do think most foams are heat activated so dryer time (or even hot sun time) is necessary to set.
That actually how I detangle when I sue a brush as well - except I always do some form of finger detangling. It takes a lot longer for me, so that may be the issue lol! Thanks for leaving your helpful tips. 😊
Do these wash and go styles and loose washing really work out for such tight coils in the long run? Hydration and moisturisation aside, my concern is that past shoulder length, single strands knots and tangles would kill off any appreciable length retention.
For me, yes. I’ve actually be doing loose washing of my hair for 10 years now. I don’t wash in sections, so this isn’t new for me. I’ve also been doing wash and gos on and off for over a year and I’ve seen a lot of progress. I’d say it depends on the person. 😊
The thing is if you have tangles you can prepoo, there’s a video on Instagram and one of the stylist says “if your hair is tangled you can prepoo” I use my co wash to detangle because my hair tangles terrible after that I’m good and I do all styles on my hair. I started with the product list now I just check ingredients. AG is an all purpose shampoo so I definitely use moisturizing shampoo after or my co wash to add moisture to the hair. I’ve had my struggles but I do not use raw oils and butter. They do have combos recommended for twist. They suggest leave in conditioners as well. I have the ebook and I read it to gain clarification
If you do styles like braids with extensions, I recommend putting water and shampoo in a bottle and spraying your scalp with it. If you do styles with no added hair like mini twists and braids use mousse.
@@dorothymontrose6371 okay but what about hair products? Like box braids for example, do you use the botanical gel or mousee still to braid? I should've asked how you put the protective style in😂 and make it still last as long as it does when using other products. Thank you gor the answers though.
hair is made of oil? it's kind of hard to understand but that resource seems to be talking about the follicle. in our book (Milady) we learned about hair being made of carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen and sulfur.
So hair is mostly Keratin, but when you look at the different layers of the hair shaft there are also lipids. It’s a small amount, but they’re there. Inner cortex and outer layer from the sebaceous glands. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30767883/
Will you consider trying a braid out using this method? I know Jenn J used the moisturizing shampoo first, then clarified. I can't remember if she did a third shampoo with the moisturizing shampoo before conditioner step, but I tried washing that way and preferred it better. I detangled with the moisturizing shampoo and with the conditioner. That's all I have done so far. Been wearing braids lately. I will continue to try out this method, though.
I havent put butters/oils in my hair for a year. But I was still dabbling with creams. I started the gel only WnG about 2 months ago. By the 3-4 week, my hair had the "squeaky clean" feel after I shampooed and then after that just wetting my hair before shampoo gives me the squeaky feeling. I thought I was doing something wrong. I only had a moisturizing shampoo so when I did my googles and found that that squeaky feeling was because you have nothing in your hair, I was so confused! My shampoo is supposed to be moisturizing!! So to hear you had the same experience and you also have been following the Black Girl Curls guide, I feel less worried that Im doing something wrong. Is that just how clean hair is supposed to feel? When I condition and style my hair feels great though.
Try watching This Girls Curls demonstrating videos. She just posted two detox videos and they are very thorough and inspiring for anyone who is new to no oils and no butters journey and experiment.
If you take the See Some Curls course Aiesha does a dry twist using a creme and mousse on 2 day hair. I don’t do twist so I didn’t watch that video but maybe I’ll watch it in case I decide to do a twistout.
Might I ask, is this after using a leave in when she washes/conditioned her hair? Why did she wait 2 days and what style was her hair before doing the twists?
@@christine1962ful her hair was washed and conditioned, no leave in, one braid in the front and one in the back to dry, her hair is long on one side and shaved on the other, she used Innersense Quiet Calm Curl Cream and Nairobi Rapid Shine Setting Foam Lotion.
Yes!!! Please try it . I have both the Ag one and the colour radiance one!!! It makes finger detangling a breeze. Expensive yes but a little goes a long way. It’s nice and creamy. Hands down the best thing I have ever used !!
If you want to SLIP from here to heaven try mixing the Alikay Naturals crème brûlée curling delight and lemongrass hold it styling gel 👀😩!!!! Whoever sees this I hope you try and don’t say I didn’t try and put y’all on 🤧…throw the leave in on too duh 🙄
No oil or butters is for styling and I'll say wash and go styling. I would not do that to my hair long term. Try that for a whole year and see if it works with ever hair style and regimens.
I went to a stylist from the black curl magic directory and found that there was some overlap (the broad strokes of just clean, condition, style). A difference I found was in certain application techniques, as well as specific products.
I was wondering if I could use a mouse instead because I forgot to buy the second topper gel and I don’t want to place another order just for one item and pay delivery charge. Let me try we shall see.😆

I use products on occasion with oils in the 4th or 5th ingredient and have used oils as an emergency band aid when I overwashed my hair. What’s important is washing frequently (at LEAST once a week) to avoid the matting and tangles, using a gentle detangling brush (like Felicia leatherwood) if needed, and to find what products work for you. As long as it’s not stuffed with oils and butters imho it’s fine to use. I use the doux, UFD, kinky curly, pacifica, not your mothers, and mielle organics mainly.
UFD is definitely sticky, especially if one doesn’t use enough water. I had the same experience as you when I washed my hair after the wash and go and my hair felt squeaky clean (even before shampoo - It happened after week 4 though for me).
This method is so interesting and difficult to maneuver, especially since we are so used to having a coating on our hair.
I haven’t tried a twistout but I did a flat twist out with just foam/mousse and it felt strange applying the products but the next day? I hair felt so light and fluffy.
I have found adding lots of water help. I use a fine mist water bottle when styling on soaking wet hair. By the time I am done the bottle is empty. I use very warm water. I actually have no stickiness at all. The kinky curly curling custard actually gives me stickiness but I ave not used it in ages also I seem to go through it faster. I have jars in my stash so I might try it one more time
Heyyy Jenn,
Yer I felt my squeaky clean hair after just getting it wet today. It was quite shocking, but I remembered what u said. And hopefully I will get to try the UFD+ICH combo
@@tmcurly 🤔 Here’s a technique I tried that may help you use less water (I also live in a super-humid climate, so this may not work where you live): after rinsing your conditioner, gently squeeze excess water from the hair. Apply and distribute UFD throughout whole head, massage and saturate, THEN mist with water, then massage and smooth until you feel the product-water is evenly distributed. You can either add your topper(s) from there, and then define, or just define with the UFD. Doing it this way has helped me get my ratios right, ensure that I don’t use too much product, and helps me control frizz a little better.
I hope this helps!
@@tmcurly when I used to do the maximum Hydration method, they said to add water to the kkkc and its leave in in a separate container to make more gel (it just thickens back up to make more gel, so you would be saving money and doubling up on each use. Works for other gels too!
That was the perfect response to the oils debate 👏🏾👏🏾 Thank you for being a voice of reason. Thank you also for teaching us better techniques to make the products work for us and last longer 🙌🏾🙌🏿
It’s all that length for me in the shower sis. I was stressed for you in that shower tho 😩😩😩
I was stressed too girl! 😂 It’s gets better though 😉
I prepoo the night before so I can wash my hair in twists… I think the key to this method is adapting to your needs 🤷🏾♀️ this way is the only way I keep my actual wash day under 1 hour
For real tho, when she was in the shower with tangled hair and on top of that added shampoo without detangling, I had to clutch my invisible damn pearls lol
@@angelofthehour777 A prepoo would never
@@SheReaDelSol 😂😂😂
TBH, I thought I'd be lost without my ECO, moisturizer and coconut oil, but my hair had been dry and breaking off like crazy. Now all I'm using is a leave in hair conditioner w/hair mayo. Now it feels SO soft and is finally coming back to life.
"If it ain't broken, don't fix it!"
Activating shampoo?! That’s a new concept. I may have to try that.
Yeah! They call it emulsifying in the course. It works!
I still feel like this is a process that does not work for everyone, even if you're doing it the right way. My hair loves deep conditioning w/ heat, hates wash n gos (gels are a no-go), and is very prone to tangling (I need more than just one step for detangling lol). I'm low porosity and I had to go completely protein-free due to protein overload. I just feel like this would be my hair's worst nightmare, but I am thankful for the information. Maybe one day when I'm where I want to be in terms of my hair journey, I will come back and try this out XD
Jenn Jackson described a similar experience washing her hair. You’re both just not used to feeling your clean hair, I think. When, you’re using water soluble products, they do rinse right off, which is part of the beauty of it all. You’ll get used to it if you continue.
I’m so glad you joined See Some Curls! I know I left that comment before. Aeleise did a beautiful twist out this week and I think the video for it will be added to the library soon. Maybe you’ll get some tips. I don’t have the density or strand size for a twist out, even when my hair gets longer, so I don’t have any tips. I would never go to bed with wet hair though. I don’t think that’s good for your scalp or hair. I know you had extenuating circumstances. I don’t like sitting under the dryer myself. It’s the means to an end. It gets done what I need it to do and gives me good results.
You are close to several curl artists being in L A, unlike most of us. I’m not sure how many are taking new clients. That might be something you could explore down the road.
I hope you feel better soon!
Thank you Michelle! I saw you leaving helpful comments on Jenn’s channel too. Very cool of you. The good news is, I’ve have since done a successful twist out using this method. 😊 I have to film in advance, so I’m actually rounding out week 3. I do think I’ll continue past 30 days because there are more things I’d like to try before making a final decision.
Jenn did have a similar experience lol
@@LaToyaEbonyHair Yaaay! I saw your twists on your IG stories 😁 They looked beautiful. I’m looking forward to the video.

Aww Sharon 🥰 What a beautiful thing to say. Thank you!! ❤️
Before this became a “thing” I had already discovered that a light leave in and botanical gel were the best things for my hair to thrive. However, I do find that I have to rewash every 3-4 days. Not because of lack of moisture, but to reduce the SSK’s! When I do that consistently I don’t get many at all! In fact very little tangles at all. As long as I haven’t been playing in it because sometimes I’m my own worst enemy. Anyway, I’m enjoying your journey and have found for myself that my DC sessions can have oils and butters but my styling needs lighter products! My hair looks better and my scalp breathes. All of our journeys are different and no one system is superior, just discover what works for your hair! Looking forward to week 3🤩
💯 agree with what you’ve said. I’ve noticed waaaaay less tangles when I don’t wait too long. I don’t really notice my SSKs unless it’s time for a trim though.
"As long as I haven’t been playing in it because sometimes I’m my own worst enemy." If that isn't me, I don't know what 😂😂
@@lblack1961 Haha! Glad it’s not just me! I create SSK’s and every other issue literally with my own hands😩
But my hair is so fun to play in🤣
I'm using the method too and my hair is loving it sooo much. I'm actually using a leave in by innersense before applying uncle funkys daughter gel, because I find it easier to finger detangle and define my curls for a was n go. This leave in is super light and amazing.
@@Magictagine thanks for sharing! I’ve been wondering about that leave in
I appreciated this because so many people are trying this method and doing it completely wrong and then saying it doesn’t work and shitting on it lol
Great video! I love that your showing the entire process. Wash n gos are definitely easier for me. Twists take me to long and like my curl pattern better than a twist out.
It’s nuts because you would never catch me saying “wash and gos are easier”, but they are now! 🤯 Seriously, all that practice I did has really shown itself.
@@LaToyaEbonyHair That's wonderful! Life is definitely about learning and evolving! ❤️
@@LaToyaEbonyHair I'm sayin!!!
I feel like I actually rely on the buildup of oil or butters on my hair to do the initial steps under the water when washing my hair. It helps me detangle before shampooing. They kind of emulsify under water and then I can shampoo once, then again to get it clean.
I feel like I’ve been unintentionally relying on the oil residue myself. Wow, I’m amazed that after 10 years I’m still learning more about my hair and routine. Blows my mind.
Me too
Honestly you read the ingredients on the back of your products alot of that has oils in it already where you don't have to use an oil
I really appreciate the editing here popping it to shows where you went wrong/could have done things differently/more efficiently. It's helpful for people who immediately discard a product or tool when they maybe were not using a product properly/the right product for the need or style.
Advice:
I didn't hear you mention it but are you using a diffuser or hooded dryer at all? Esp with the use of mousse (and esp with a twist out style) the product is *heat activated* and works best when dried under heat to get a good set. Some stylists are stressing that. And the detangling combs are also stressed...for speed but also to ensure roots are not matted and all shed hairs are gone. shed hair=fairy knots. Finger detangling actually can set us back trying to style with shed hairs staying in the mix.
also my detangling (once I wash within 10 days or less) is pretty easy when I
1. Do my second shampoo (at least) with a moisturizing shampoo... I usually do some finger detangling then.
2. Leave the conditioner on my hair for at least half of the recommended time before I start to detangle and make sure to mix water in to help get that hydration into the strands before the cuticle seals down. Then I rake the conditioner thru with fingers (usually very easy...you can go on IG and see how thoroughly the stylists can do it) then I go in with a comb.
Hi LaToya,
I did a twist out using clarifying shampoo, moisturizing shampoo, deep conditioner, leave-in and mousse. No extra oils or butters.
My hair felt great and looked great. My first try was without the leave-in and I did not like the way it felt. Keep trying:)
I’m happy you got great results. I’ll definitely keep trying. I’m stubborn and don’t like giving up. Lol
I went through the See Some Curls course & if I'm not mistaken they use leave-in for twists, braids, etc... No leave in for wash&go! I'd stick with W&G until mastered..& it's summer! But I'm not an influencer🥰
Love that you’re sharing your experience. In my case I learned that around the fifth or sixth day I needed to wash my hair. Otherwise I would have a lot of tangles. For me it’s better to detaingle with a combination of my hair and a brush. The conditioner you used is an ok but it doesn’t have enough slip for me so I’m looking for another one. It’s weird feeling when your hair after shampoo doesn’t seem coated at first. But you get use to it after clarifying because it strip away everything so that’s why I always make sure to use a moisturizing shampoo
Same for me - my hair seems to really do best at the 5 day mark.
Looking forward to the next video. UFD NEVER dries overnight for me. The foam or foram with a light cream always good to go the next day.
Facts. 👏🏾
Growing up with natural hair we were taught to plait/ braid our hair at night - just quick big plaits - if it was out during the day, that would keep it soft and untangled.
You should try Camille Rose's Aloe Whipped Butter Gel for a juicy twist out.
I've seen die hard 30 day detox fans rave about it even though it has oil in the 4th ingredient. I tried it myself and was very pleased with the results. No leave in required.
1️⃣ In relationship to the cosmetic chemist… It’s all about the oils being FORMULATED (hydrolyzed) into the products. Oils are great and fine, just not in excess, and there really isn’t a NEED to put RAW oils on our hair or scalp.
2️⃣ With Uncle Funky’s…WATER. If you don’t use enough water, it will be super-sticky. The hair must be completely saturated with water, and you want to add more water as you add product until you hear that “squish” sound.
3️⃣ The adjustment process IS weird, and your hair may even change, but once you’re used to it , and your hair is able to uptake water better, the tangled seem to “melt” away. You SHOULD use your detangling tool, though, as it makes things way easier. Remember, the whole point of this is to make the process easier, and faster.
4️⃣ Did you use a hooded dryer to dry your twist-out? Foams and mousses are heat-activated, so - when doing a twist-out - I’d use heat, as this will set your style so it will last. I’d also leave out the Uncle Funky’s, and just use the mousse, or a light leave-in + mousse, then dry under your dryer!
I understand the concept and the results look good but this can't be all that I do for my hair. I actually enjoy using different products and I currently have a bunch that I need to use up. However, I don't use raw oils and butters and so I will make sure to really clean my strands. Sort of a hybrid routine 😉!
I kind of cheat with this routine. I oil my scalp and spray my hair. Then I detangle and use my gel soufflé. But then I only seal my ends we with a butter lol.
I'm here! I came as fast as I could, lol. Please get well soon. *Takes a seat* I have watched a few videos of that particular TH-camr and you're not wrong. I'm here for the tea ❤
The science of hair is fascinating. Gotta love it!
@@LaToyaEbonyHair I'd suggest you stick to wash and go for now until you start getting used to the "naked hair" feel or better still, when you get used to this whole new thing. Since your last wash and go was a bomb, why not? ❤
@@naomideckins I’d do that if I weren’t so stubborn. 😂 I have to try again!
You almost got it. Yes, your scalp will level out from using fewer blocking products. Finger detangle before wetting; use a moisturizing shampoo. You are correct that you must emulsify the product in hand first, Way more conditioner, and use a detangling brush. The gel is not for twist-outs. Use a setting foam instead, like the Doux or Nairobi. Have fun 🤗
I have found this topic to be the most interesting of all the trends within the natural hair community. I think that’s due to that fact that it concentrates more on the health of the hair. I’ve spent more time watching videos on this topic than any other TH-cam videos, lol. It’s almost like a science class. I compare this hair detox to any other detox. I’ve always experienced great results from the process. I would like to thank LaToya because, of all the influencers her information has been the most beneficial to me in my hair journey. These videos on this topic are great if you have no clue what your hair type is etc. I’ve tried to many other options and almost everything LaToya shares works on my hair. Which is helpful in understanding my hair! I will say that it’s game changing when you find something that works on your hair, that’s good for you hair and you also like how it looks! God bless you! Praying you continue to feel better. I am looking forward to future videos! You’re beautiful inside and out! 🙏👍🏾🤎
Okay, so today I’m just getting showered with beautiful comments. 🥰🥰🥰 I’m so incredibly flattered and always willing to share my journey. You all have made me excited to get up and do this work because of feedback and I will always appreciate you taking your time out to leave such a sweet comment. 🥰❤️
I also took the complete course prior to doing my hair wash and go. I still forgot some things and I had to go back to the lesson to review. I wash my hair every 4 to 5 days but my hair is short.
Try Uncle Funkys daughter Squeaky shampoo! It's great! Lather twice with it. After the 2nd round your hair will feel nice and soft and your scalp will feel great. Follow it up with the Kinky curly knot today leave it. Run each section of your hair under warm water before applying the leave in to that section then detangle that section and go on to the next. Your hair will feel amazing and be ready for whatever styling you choose. If you're not doing a wash n go, then let it air dry 50 - 75% before styling. I'd also love to see you try the curl definition system for your wash n go. If you do try the system, swap the knot today for the leave in that they sell and follow their instructions for applying the product. You won't regret it. Effortless wash n go with lots of shine and great hold. All you need is the refresher spray and maybe a mist of water throughout the week. (Oh and my 6 year old is beside me insisting that I tell you she LOVES your videos... she really does).
Haha! Your 6 year old?! That’s so freaking adorable ☺️ Thanks for the tips. Which curl definition system? Which video in the course?
I find that when I use this product, I have less issues detangling because it holds my curls in place so well that they don't mingle together as much. I'm 4c low porosity as well.
@@LaToyaEbonyHair I'm not sure why my reply keeps disappearing. Hopefully third time is a charm. The name of it is "Curl Definition". If you search that, it should be the top result.
Tks for being real & taking us on this journey with you! Excited to see you use AG & Innerscence next wk! I couldn't decide, went w/ AG Boost & Balance..whew chile❣🙌🏽 Wanna compare tho. 1 1/2 mo in, starting to love wash&gos!🥰
I heard the AG conditioner is really good. Do you like it? Innersense conditioner isn’t as rich as I want it to be.
@@LaToyaEbonyHair AG conditioner and shampoo is the best in my opinion
I do not like washing my hair in the shower and just started the no oils no butters challenge last week. First, I can’t do a wash n go. My hair doesn’t respond like these videos. 😂 So if you can try a twist out one more time it would be greatly appreciated ❤️
Love this video! I think we could be hair twins. In regards to the little knots at the end, I don't get those with wash-n-gos when I shingle my hair. I like to refer to shingling as all hair having its own place. When I set my hair with gel and shingle, my tight tiny curls keep their distance :) Despite your singing (not too bad), always listen to your gut/hair. Another note, when using a detangling brush of any kind (I love the tangle teaser with the handle), always take your time. Gently stretch the section of hair and let gravity slowly pull the brush down your strands. In other words, don't force it. The stickiness of UFD is probably the agave. These are just tips - not trying to tell yo what to do. I'm just a girl with hair like yours and a lot of experience with my natural hair and l've read a lot about the science of hair. Look forward to your next video.
😊 Thank you sweetie!
Do you think it's time for a cut it kinky cut? I love that you are trying this method. Love the video, keep them coming 😍
Your hair looks fantastic! Essentially there are multiple ways to take care of hair. Just do what works for you and keep it moving. I’m tempted to try this but working remote I wear a protective style up to 4 weeks at a time. I used to wash and twist once a week, but I’m just not about that life anymore. 😅
Thanks for the vid. The content for this method is increasing by the day. I am a twist out/flat twist out girl and this has been one of my concerns. I am a newer natural (4C, lo po, medium density, medium strands) and have never done a wash and go. I have no plans to purchase a dryer and my hair tangles very easily which are the main reasons why I am hesitant to try it. Thanks for being transparent.
A WEEK!! That should be standard time for a successful wash n go to last. When I stretch my wash n go past a week that’s when I experience more tangles. I think the products with oils help prevent this. This challenge…….😬 IDK if this was a You thing especially since you have had great successful wash n gos. Maybe your hair is in a good state that this doesn’t fit. I’m here for the full 30.
It's perfectly fine to use a detangling brush when you feel it's needed. The bun is always a good choice when things don't go exactly as planned. If you choose to stick with it, this way of hair care does get easier. I also enjoy doing the wash n go because I was never good at twist or braid-outs. I've been doing wash n go's and this method since 2008 before I even knew it was a method. I can tell it's tough on content creators. It's the main reason I never wanted to become one. Who's going to watch someone do the same style each week using the same products over and over? LoL
I like kinky curly custard. I hate gel that feels sticky on my hair.
I do too! The slip is better at least for me, then UFD.
Little tiny knots? Welcome to my world!!
I am going to try the gel and mouse combination. I love the kicky curl not today and custard combo. I clarify once a month and use a moister shampoo and conditioner the other weeks.
I'm glad that you got to the twist out part of the course! yeahhh UFD is def not recommended for twist outs cause itll never dry lol but I think you might have better success with a light leave in and foam or just foam alone. If u end up using the AG conditioner use lots of water! It's super concentrated and gets foamy (which I personally like) Some even use it as a co-wash midweek. 😁
Love your videos! I watch each one at least twice. I wasn't sure why you were trying the "no butters, no oil" . Was it an experiment only or did you think your hair had a lot of buildup? You take excellent care of your hair and your routine works really well. We appreciate your trying new things (TU) especially this no oils thing, because we heard about this "trend," But was skeptical. The chemist that was linked is "pro" using oils/butters" wisely (just like you). 🤗 Anyway, whatever you do is a fun joy! You crack us up, too! Bonus. 🥳👍🏾
To see if I could cut down on medicated shampoo and the need to re-moisturize my hair….and for fun.
@@LaToyaEbonyHair We're here for it! 🥳 Thank you!
You are hilarious...I love when the future Latoya Ebony pops in😆😆
😊
Love your hair. I am very excited to see more!!! 🥰🥰. Thank you for these videos you and Jenn J! Ouidad oil shampoo or the oil shampoo in the twist line which is way cheaper, Ag boost conditioner or my personal fave ( Innersence colour radiance conditioner- it has so much slip my fingers just glide through my 4c)🥰🥰
Okay, you’re convincing me. I just may have to order it. I head AG feels Iike a deep conditioner, is that true?
Yes it does, to be honest both these products have very high quality ingredients. Sometimes after I finish detangling with them I put a shower cap on, tie a satin scarf and go to bed. In the morning I rinse and style. I cannot stand in the shower for too long so I get out of the shower with soaping hair or apply a bit of uncle funky whilst in shower. I use a water bottle to properly go through the sections with I create hold. My kinks, coils are super defined without and manipulating or shingling. They are tiny little curls and so beautiful 😻🥰🥰😍
There are some google reviews with the Innersence color radiance conditioner on women with 4c
The commentary was actually so helpful
😊👏🏾 I’m so glad it helped!
I went through the See Some Curls course. My fav combo for wash and goes right now is UFD curly magic with The Doux Mousse Def. UFD definitely was a learning curve. The other thing I invested in was standing dryer. That has changed the game for me.
I've heard from others that a hooded dryer really makes a difference. Unfortunately I don't have the space for one.
That combination is also amazing I’m sure. I have a sit under dryer and I will be using it in the the next few videos. 😊
That’s will be great Toya also you don’t have to sit for an hour. Even for just 20-30 min until the outside of hair is completely dry at least. Like what Jenn did!!
Is there a difference in standing dryer & sit under one?
@@melindawilliams136 I don't think so for home use. I think it's just a matter of preference. I wanted a standing hooded dryer instead of a table top one. In the price range I was looking at both had similar features and power.
Let me tell yall something...My hair is dry, not regular dry, I mean DRY DRY. I can put moisture in my hair in the morning and by the next morning its DRYYYYYYY! If I put no oils or butters in my hair for 30 day I would be doing another big chop, cause my hair would be falling out. If I don't put sustainable moisture in my hair every day, my hair will lock faster than a rich man's wallet! No oils no butter.....nah, that's a No for me Sis.
Sis, the neck roll 😂 😂
The neck roll is as good as an African American proverb. 😂
I unintentionally went over a month without my hair grease (literally oils and waxes, not petrolatum based). (It wasn't a deliberate detox, I was just alternating between broke, tired, and the product not being on the shelf when I got to the store.) The amount of knotting and breakage was insane! My twists (my usual go to style) were dry and ragged. The puff I wore after wash day? Dry as the sahara. The only time I didn't have dry hair was when I used more mouse and gel in tandem than I ever have in my life, which just led to flakes and itchy scalp. Detangling has been awful. For me, formulated products with butters and oils function the same as lotion, if that makes sense. It's interesting to see the much more positive results other people have when they do this deliberately.
It makes sense (the lotion comment). I think the majority of us feel the same way. This process has been an interesting learning experience.
@@LaToyaEbonyHair your presentation style makes it really easy to follow along and understand what you're experiencing. (Also just realized that first comment was a bit of a novel; sorry.)
*takes a seat, grab a notebook* I'm ready sis👀 #getwell #staysafe
It sounds like your hair was just very clean. Nothing wrong with that, Sis. It's just that with a lot of constant product usage, we miss becoming familiar with that natural, clean-hair experience. Mostly, to my slightly damp hair I add just a wee bit of oil-mixture (I experiment by varying the combinations and amounts of oils such as -- coconut oil, Jamaican black castor oil, argan oil, olive oil, even a little petroleum jelly sometimes). But it is nice to rest all that occasionally, and just enjoy my hair being 'squeaky clean' and I don't have to wash my fingers every time I touch my hair. 😊
So occasionally, I do a basic clean with my on-hand shampoo, followed by a light scalp massage with my fingers only (no bought-devices), then section and twist or plait (braid) my hair while it is still a little damp. This results in clean, soft, shiny hair; and when I untwist or loosen my plaits, the hair simply retains the impression of the twists or the plaits, and from there, it is optional how I style it -- whether pinning up sections of my hair or arranging the sections however I feel. The hair feels lighter, naturally soft, my greys have a brilliant shine, and all without any product-oil/s creeping down my forehead. 🌺
First one here!!!!! Hello🤗
Well hello there! 👋🏾
I didn’t realize it but two leave-ins I use that don’t have oil in the first five ingredients are the Giovanni direct leave in and the Beauty Without Cruelty leave in.
Already hip to game and didn’t even know it! 🙌🏾
@@LaToyaEbonyHair You gotta try that leave in! When I say a quarter sized amount is enough for a fourth of my head, I really mean it lol
Anytime we use a stripping shampoo like that you should always follow up with a moisturizing shampoo before conditioner. I use that shampoo once a month but always follow with a moisturizing shampoo
We can get water overload as well can't wait to see week 3 for you.
I'm 8 days in and for the first time in forever my scalp isn't irritated I have no dandruff and my hair is moisturised. I've just washed conditioned and put a leave conditioner in.
A one size doesn't fit all in the natural hair community. Do what works for you.
I didn't know about activating the product in your hands. Will try that. I've also never done a wash and go. 🤔
When I detangle I put the condish all in my hair, add some more water, clip it up into sections, then rewet the section, go right in w my Felicia leatherwood brush ends to root, 2 strand twist it & clip it back up, & repeat for every section. Sorry if that sounds like a lot lmao my hair is not long but it takes less than 10 mins. I used to finger detangle & then use a brush but that actually took longer & I would have more breakage. I don’t like twist outs on me but maybe try putting your leave in on in the shower & then the mousse when it’s damp not soaking? It will take less time to dry but I do think most foams are heat activated so dryer time (or even hot sun time) is necessary to set.
That actually how I detangle when I sue a brush as well - except I always do some form of finger detangling. It takes a lot longer for me, so that may be the issue lol! Thanks for leaving your helpful tips. 😊
Do these wash and go styles and loose washing really work out for such tight coils in the long run? Hydration and moisturisation aside, my concern is that past shoulder length, single strands knots and tangles would kill off any appreciable length retention.
For me, yes. I’ve actually be doing loose washing of my hair for 10 years now. I don’t wash in sections, so this isn’t new for me. I’ve also been doing wash and gos on and off for over a year and I’ve seen a lot of progress. I’d say it depends on the person. 😊
@@LaToyaEbonyHair Thanks, that's helpful to hear.
The thing is if you have tangles you can prepoo, there’s a video on Instagram and one of the stylist says “if your hair is tangled you can prepoo” I use my co wash to detangle because my hair tangles terrible after that I’m good and I do all styles on my hair. I started with the product list now I just check ingredients. AG is an all purpose shampoo so I definitely use moisturizing shampoo after or my co wash to add moisture to the hair. I’ve had my struggles but I do not use raw oils and butter. They do have combos recommended for twist. They suggest leave in conditioners as well. I have the ebook and I read it to gain clarification
Yes! Those are all things not often mentioned. I have the e-book and I’m definitely gonna dig into it as well
Lol okay question. What do we do during protective styles? I'm speaking on if you've already done the detox and all that.
If you do styles like braids with extensions, I recommend putting water and shampoo in a bottle and spraying your scalp with it. If you do styles with no added hair like mini twists and braids use mousse.
@@dorothymontrose6371 okay but what about hair products? Like box braids for example, do you use the botanical gel or mousee still to braid? I should've asked how you put the protective style in😂 and make it still last as long as it does when using other products. Thank you gor the answers though.
I think for the twist out you meant to blow dry your hair and then add mousse .
The facial expression in the thumbnail 🤣!!!!!
😂 It’s the face of my inner being this week.
@@LaToyaEbonyHair I call it the Mom face. You'd have to see her when she is annoyed!!!! 😆
Me too I tried both and think that wash and go is easy
hair is made of oil? it's kind of hard to understand but that resource seems to be talking about the follicle. in our book (Milady) we learned about hair being made of carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen and sulfur.
So hair is mostly Keratin, but when you look at the different layers of the hair shaft there are also lipids. It’s a small amount, but they’re there. Inner cortex and outer layer from the sebaceous glands.

Get well soon friend
Latoya you're hilarious, thanks for your input
😊🙌🏾
The title + thumbnail made me just go "oh no".
😂
Can you please make more hairstyle videos
Working on it!!
Will you consider trying a braid out using this method? I know Jenn J used the moisturizing shampoo first, then clarified. I can't remember if she did a third shampoo with the moisturizing shampoo before conditioner step, but I tried washing that way and preferred it better. I detangled with the moisturizing shampoo and with the conditioner. That's all I have done so far. Been wearing braids lately. I will continue to try out this method, though.
I’m more of a twist out person 😊 So I’ll definitely try a twist out! I’ll watch her video again - I’m not sure if she switched the order up.
I’ve learned things along the way too. I also forgot to emulsify my shampoo and to add water after the Uncle Funkys Daughter Curly Magic.
For me i have to have a little oil i tried no oils i am graying fast it does better.
That’s understandable
Thanks for this sis
I havent put butters/oils in my hair for a year. But I was still dabbling with creams. I started the gel only WnG about 2 months ago. By the 3-4 week, my hair had the "squeaky clean" feel after I shampooed and then after that just wetting my hair before shampoo gives me the squeaky feeling. I thought I was doing something wrong. I only had a moisturizing shampoo so when I did my googles and found that that squeaky feeling was because you have nothing in your hair, I was so confused! My shampoo is supposed to be moisturizing!! So to hear you had the same experience and you also have been following the Black Girl Curls guide, I feel less worried that Im doing something wrong. Is that just how clean hair is supposed to feel? When I condition and style my hair feels great though.
Try watching This Girls Curls demonstrating videos. She just posted two detox videos and they are very thorough and inspiring for anyone who is new to no oils and no butters journey and experiment.
What’s the title of them? I’ll go look
th-cam.com/video/z2Uiy48uQuQ/w-d-xo.html. She has two videos. Also she has a video of her hair journey which was interesting. Hope you enjoy her demo.
Thanks for sharing...💖
Sooooo why is your hair longer than mine and you chopped more recently than me? I am definitely having retention issues!
Hi Ebony, do you think this will work in the winter seeing that right now you are able to air dry your wash n go?
If you take the See Some Curls course Aiesha does a dry twist using a creme and mousse on 2 day hair. I don’t do twist so I didn’t watch that video but maybe I’ll watch it in case I decide to do a twistout.
Might I ask, is this after using a leave in when she washes/conditioned her hair? Why did she wait 2 days and what style was her hair before doing the twists?
@@christine1962ful her hair was washed and conditioned, no leave in, one braid in the front and one in the back to dry, her hair is long on one side and shaved on the other, she used Innersense Quiet Calm Curl Cream and Nairobi Rapid Shine Setting Foam Lotion.
Oh she said she was lazy that wash day but normally wouldn’t have waited 2 days and she would’ve blown it out.
Innersence colour radiance conditioner has more slippppppppppp. than anything in the world even silicone conditioner!!!!!!!😍😍😍😍🥰
I am not affiliated to Innersence or blackgirlcurls. I just browse the internet for resources .
Really?!! *inner product junkie peeks out from the closet* 😂
Yes!!! Please try it . I have both the Ag one and the colour radiance one!!! It makes finger detangling a breeze. Expensive yes but a little goes a long way. It’s nice and creamy. Hands down the best thing I have ever used !!
I'm laughing because I have raw cactus oil in my hair right now.....love your vid
My question: is the S Curl allowed? 🥺 Love that stuff for WnGs The moisture!
I don't think so...but you'd have to check the ingredients. Probably not lol
i can imagine my routine without oils, i don"t like butters but give me olive and castor oils ...
Could it be that going to be bed with wet hair made you sick?
No. My son was sick and spread it.
*weird moment* your voice reminds me of actress Essence Atkins
Would you happen to know which light leave-ins are ok to use during this process?
Kinky curly knot today 🥰🥰
If you want to SLIP from here to heaven try mixing the Alikay Naturals crème brûlée curling delight and lemongrass hold it styling gel 👀😩!!!! Whoever sees this I hope you try and don’t say I didn’t try and put y’all on 🤧…throw the leave in on too duh 🙄
Wash & Go's are not my 4C friend .. ugh!
Second one here whoo hoo! 😁
👋🏾 Heeey! 💃🏾 ❤️
I have to read these comments 🤔
Gels like UFD need heat to dry. Overnight is not gonna work.
It worked for the wash and go just fine. I think it was more about the wet twists.
No oil or butters is for styling and I'll say wash and go styling. I would not do that to my hair long term. Try that for a whole year and see if it works with ever hair style and regimens.
What’s the real difference btw this detox and Anthony Dickey’s wash & go?
I went to a stylist from the black curl magic directory and found that there was some overlap (the broad strokes of just clean, condition, style). A difference I found was in certain application techniques, as well as specific products.
Thanks!
Beautiful earrings! From where?
Hubby for Christmas!
I was wondering if I could use a mouse instead because I forgot to buy the second topper gel and I don’t want to place another order just for one item and pay delivery charge. Let me try we shall see.😆
You can! I have actually. Tune in next week. 😉
I use UFD and Mouse Def on top. Give me really good results.
" ive gone thru the course " - 😭😭
That was cute! Lol...
Jumping on band wagons is attractive anymore. Ppl please continue to do what wrks for your hair.
I cringed during the wash😢
I blast the buildup off with clay, then start the process all over again.
