I Tried a WASH N GO on 4C HAIR Everyday For A WEEK *I'M SHOcKed!*
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ต.ค. 2024
- I tried a wash n go for 7 days on type 4b 4c hair and some pretty surprising things happened. I’ve always considered my hair to be pretty hopeless when it comes to wash n goes. Type 4 hair really doesn’t have curls that can be defined. It tends to be kinky, coily, have a ton of shrinkage, and tangles very easily. Wash n gos seem like many type 4 naturals worst nightmares - and for nearly 10 years it was mine too. That’s why I’ve done this experiment for you. To face my fear of the wash n go. Some fears were confirmed, but some fears were completely debunked. Grab some popcorn and hang out for this Vlog style 7 day rollercoaster.

Do this in evening, sit under dryer to finish. With enough products in your hair, it can take HOURS for your hair to dry which can lead to fungal infections and hair breakage at the roots...
Mold and fungi love dark, moist places. Thick wet products in your hair close to your scalp sets up the perfect condition for them to grow...
Sister locks... 😊
This is EXCELLENT advice!! I’m pinning it. I really wanted to air dry and I don’t own a sit under dryer, BUT I own a blow dryer and will use it next time. THANK YOU for taking the time to comment and share that!! 🤗
@@LaToyaEbonyHair no problem! I found this out the hard way when I developed MAJOR breakage at the crown of my head. Very itchy and brittle situation! Had to eventually cut that hair so it would be healthy and it's still not back at 100%... 😕
Oh no ☹️ Thank you for sharing and helping us! I hope your hair get healthy again quickly. 💜
Thank you! My hair takes sooooo long to dry!
Yes, O like the diffuser.
She is Tia and Tamera's sister from another father😍
She even has their voice!
Essence Atkins!!! I was just watching smart guy this morning 😊
@@stillstonie,
More her yes 👍🏽
Right?! Also Essence Atkins😊
Ok I’m not the only one
I went to Cancun last year and was in that water every day, I was not about to let my hair hold me back. I ended up cowashing my hair every day and using the As I Am leave in conditioner and some gel and that’s it. By end end of the week my curls were the healthier they’ve ever been. My routine was quick, simple and done every day due to necessity but it gave me a beautiful wonderful result.
Is it just me or she looks like a sister to Tia and Tamera
Yes she does look like them and her personality is very similar to Tia😍😍😍
I was literally thinking the same thing 😫😫😭
Sara Dodo Yasssssss she does!
@M M I was thinking her and Essence sound exactly alike...I.scrolled down to see who else thought so.
I think it’s the way she talks too 👌🏾
I’ve tried wash and go about three times and they always turned into a “Wash and NOOOOO”. 😁
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I done with you!!
Check out Black Girls Curls channel and IG. Game changer. I found out real quick that I wasn’t using enough water or products in my wash & go.
It doesn't work for me either
SAME PREDICAMENT
I can so relate!!
I’m a wash n go “type 4” natural. I pretty much exclusively wear my hair wash and go styles. I’ve done this for years. Air drying will not provide the best result. Drying the hair quickly provides the best result and yields less shrinkage. I skip the raw oils and products with oil high on the ingredients list *gasp* I know. I use gel. Gel will set your natural curls and prevent the matting and tangling. My wash n go lasts 5-7 days. Tangling is not an issue. The more you wear wash n go styles the better they get. It’s like my hair is trained now.
sheneesie You absolutely need gel and one that’s heavy enough to weigh down our hair!
What gel do you use?
nikandra76 Uncle Funky’s Daughter Curly Magic is my new favorite. Not crunchy or dry, but enough hold and moisture. It’s better than Wetline IMO.
I'm going to have to try your suggestion. My wash n gos look horrible.
I totally agree with you.
im a 15 year old black girl learning about her hair and ma'am you a vibe. first 10 seconds you already making me laugh
Oh Heeeey! 👋🏾 I rarely see young ladies in the comments. It’s so good to have you. Welcome! #vibeout
it is so true that the moment people see a defined curl they automatically assume that your hair isn’t 4c. it’s so annoying.
That is how u define the hair types tho but how defined the curl is ...
@@TheJtoben right, it's literally the definition of curl typing.
If you have visibly (key word is visibly) defined curls with low manipulation, you're not 4c, though. In the video, the woman even said she's 4b/4c, but ONLY included 4c in the title. This is what we mean when we say people are 4c baiting. I and the woman in this video have the exact same hair type. I was thrown for a loop when someone told me I wasn't 4c, but now I understand. I need people to stop gaslighting actual 4c women into thinking THEY'RE the crazy ones, when they're the ones who live with the stigma of their hair texture and they're the ones turning to TH-cam for help ONLY to be bombarded by women with 4b hair claiming they're 4c for clicks. Just stop.
mimi .. I think one or two of her strands is 4c..Majority of her head is 4b though. A lot of naturals pose with dry hair as 4c, but then the water hits their hair and the curls are relaxed and defined. 4c doesn’t behave like that.
I guess so her curls stand out so much but definately 4c. I have nice curls in most sections when wet but once dried nada. When I stretch though it’s tolerable and style or
She looks like Essence Atkins.
Sounds a little like her too.
I was thinking the very same thing!😊😊👍
She really does 😍
I came here to say this.
Yea!!
Did this experiment for fun. It’s light and meant to make you smile. I’m going to add this disclaimer “in case” someone watching this gets the wrong idea. I LOVE my hair. I don’t see shrinkage, the hair pattern, the fact that it gets dry, or the maintenance I choose to do to it as “cons” to having natural hair. It’s just what it happens to do and I love it for that. I’ve learned what my hair likes to do and what it doesn’t like. I have a routine that works for me, so this was very different. I don’t do wash n gos normally because I don’t really care about coil definition. 4c hair isn’t hard to take care of for me, but it does create comedic moments when I try to do something new. P.S. I know the majority of you will get the humor. If you want to know my true thoughts about my hair watch a few of my videos. In particular, “Stop saying 4c hair is hard to manage”. Love ya’ll! Be safe out there, okay.
LaToya Ebony girl you are so pretty to me. Loved watching you do this....I will not be attempting a wash and go lmao
LaToya Ebony Thanks for sharing this experience. You should try the Anthony Dickey method. Wash n go needs a lot of water. I’ve you ever tried finger coils?
I love the message you put out here. Our hair is not hard to take care of and we can definitely have fun with it! I love how many 4c TH-camrs are being honest with it and showcasing these images. So many girls and women need this ❤️
@@psr076 YES!!!! Anthony method I did it and it works 👍💯

Thank you for this comment. It’s refreshing to hear someone say they don’t consider it a chore taking care of their hair.
The way my 4C hair is set up, i've never done a wash and go and prolly never will cuz ain't nobody got tears and arm muscle for that lol. But who knows, maybe one day, maybe one day.
** deep belly laugh** I feel seen!
Right!!! Cracking up at "tears and arm muscles!"😂😂😂
Girl, you ain't never lie! Your comment brought me life. Who has arm strength, time, and tears for the wash and go? If only the tears could hydrate the hair. Lol
After I big chopped, I wore a wash n go everyday for a year. It made my 4a hair so soft. My hair grew like crazy and I retained the length.
Like I’ve said before, *4c wash n gos looks so chic* . Legit looks like an ad when it shrinks up and is pushed off of your face. But more than anything washngos are expensive! The amount of product I use 🥴 not economical.
YEEEEEESS! I completely forgot to mention how much PRODUCT I used. My GOODNESS!! 😩
I have an affordable wash n go routine
Wetline Xtreme gel is about 3.99 for a 35oz tub and it works great for type 4 hair. I’ve been using it for years and I wear my hair almost exclusively in wash and gos.
I agreed, they do look chic! After 4 years of stretching my hair for volume and length I just recently started embracing and mastering my wash and go. For me no gels at all, just leave in's and oils yields a super soft fluffy coiled afro. An I have legit 4abc hair.
@@ellegoddessessentials2547 What is your routine?
Prior to getting locs, Hallease did this experiment years ago on 4c hair with the Anthony Dickey method. Started with a week, then two, then a month, then a year. Those videos are super old but worth watching and convinced me to wash n go for a year after my big chop. It’s a great way to learn about your hair, how it responds to water and products.
If you don’t wash n go often, it takes a while for your hair to get used to it (wet styling and products). And you’re right. Tangles come from time not the style itself. Many type 4 naturals let their wash n go sit for way too long. I never go longer than 3 days without co-washing.
Plus, the same way you have to cut your bone straight hair to get it hang a certain way, you have cut your fro into a shape for a wash n go. And the best way to dry type 4 hair (and get the least amount of shrinkage) is with a bonnet dryer or diffuser. Unless you have tapered cut, it won’t air dry the right way. That’s one reason the Deva Cut got so popular.
This was a fun video ❤️
Wow, I’ve never heard of the Dickey Method. Wet styling is so new too me, it’s like a whole new world! This was SO helpful. I appreciate you taking the time to write such a thoughtful comment. This is going to help so many subscribers too. THANK YOU, Denysha!! *hugs* I swear you all have been putting me on game.
When I was watching this I thought about Anthony Dickey Hair Rules method too. I have some Hair rules Kinky Curly and Quench conditioner I may try this with. There type 4 hair products always left my hair soo soft but is expensive.
I am literally on day 5 of wash n Gos, hoping to train my hair in a sense. My plan is yo do it everyday during this quarantine so that it will be properly moisturized for twist outs and other styles later. I am also following the Dickey Method and I have to say I already see a major difference. It literally takes 15 minutes on my 4b hair, and the shedding? Where?! It’s unbelievable how different my hair feels in such a short amount of time. I’m looking forward to keeping it up as long as I can! I do believe the trick is sopping wet hair in the shower as others have mentioned. I do think I need to get a diffuser as well. 🤔
Great video! Love your energy!
BrokGirl Magic I’ve actually been eyeing the quench conditioner and cleansing cream...do you think they are worth the price?
Anthony Dickey absolutely changed my life! 😅 I used to spend HOURS struggling through my hair and then I found his method and feel like I finally understand my hair and am giving it what it needs. I modify his method a bit - I prefer applying my styling product outside the shower - but my hair routine feels so much more natural now. I cowash every 2 days (and shampoo once a week or so) and it takes 30 minutes; 40 on the days I shampoo.
The term "wash n go" is definitely an oversimplification of what really is a "set and wait" style.
I don't even do this on wet hair anymore. Once my hair is washed, I moisturize, seal, then let dry.
The next day once my hair is no longer wet but moisturized I apply a styler to set my natural curl pattern.
I mist my hair as needed to aid the styling product along the stands.
I apply the product root to tip, separating sections into small pieces for higher definition. Adding oil helps with separation.
Sometimes, I use a comb to help disperse the product but that interrupts my natural curl pattern.
Once I've finished applying the styler I lean forward and shake my hair so the strands separate further, and my hair stops looking like a helmet.
I shake a few more times while standing.
Let dry. Don't touch because frizz.
That is my process for a "wash n go" 😁
It could be: on wash day, Gel and go for drying 👍
Katrina I do mostly all these steps too! I think it’s the best way to wash n go. Wash your hair, moisturize, come back when it’s dry and start applying your styler to small pieces for higher definition. Hair is basically dry by the time you finish your whole head...and I think it brings out definition more because the product can really cling to your strands versus all that water sliding it off
Undrea Martin might have to try this. Thanks for sharing.
I do this, too. It seems to last longer.
T Kay stylers are products like gels, curl creams, twisting creams/butters, and custards, designed primarily to define the hair or set a hair style.
Wash n gos on genuinely 4c hair ain’t worth it, the matting and tangles and wasting mounds and mounds of product....it ain’t for me... my hair doesn’t wash and go, and that’s totally ok...ill stick to puffs and fluffy twist outs, maintains the health of my tresses... entertaining video...
i love my wash n gos! i use them as a protective style for a week or more. i use wetline to keep the definition from the root to the ends, but first a creamy leave in and a thick oil or even grease beforehand. ive retained so much length the past six months even though my hair literally shrinks to a twa each time. it's very low manipulation for me and im sure for others as well. anyone reading, don't knock it til you find your combo ;)
Agreed. Like why put all those chemicals in hair. Then ot gets tangled I don't like my hair out
@@frannypie. I agree! I'm type 4 and I only do wash and gos'. Custards work better than heavy gels for me. Kinky Curly Custard and Uncle Funky's Curly Magic are more concentrated and spreads easier throughout the hair than most gels in my opinion. An 8 oz container of Kinky Curly last me awhile, and I have a lot of dense, thick hair on my head.
Preach! TRUE 4c hair, not type 4, 4c does not wash and go! It’ll be sooooo dry and brittle!!
It works on extremely tightly coiled dry hair and even makes it way more manageable the more you do it so long as you're doing the right method
Wash n go isn't sitting there slapping products on it, it's wetting your hair, saturating with conditioner, shaking it out to how you want it to fall and drying or literally GOING
Of course the first time will look like trash till you adapt your hair to the method
3:43 OH- AND I THOUGHT THAT I HAD SHRINKAGE NEVER MINDDDDD😭😭
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Coconut oil makes my hair feel dry. Try leaving the coconut oil out.
Ossie R I agree. I had to find other oils that work better. Jamaican Black Caster Oil, olive oil, grape seed oil all work well.
grease
That's because coconut oil isn't a moisturiser, it's a sealant
Same! However for some odd reason it works great as a pre poo for me
Coconut oil is a waaaste of time 💯
2:43 soooo cute, wasn’t expecting him, but loved seeing him!😍👩🏽💻
🥰🥰
Do you normally use coconut oil? In my experience when I coated my hair with coconut oil it left that drying feeling the next day!!
Oils typically do not add moisture, that is probably why it is dry. You need a cream.
Thanks for pointing out that 4C has a pattern
When you started with the products out of the shower, I was like "Nooooo!"
You apply products in the shower on soaking wet hair. Conditioner to moisturize and define and gel to lock in the coil. Shake out your coils. And most importantly DONT TOUCH! You can use a diffuser but air drying is great too.
This is coming from a fellow 4c. Keep your hands out of your hair when its drying and see the difference in definition.
Haha!! I’ve seen it done so many ways. In terms of filming, it’s easier to be out of the shower, buuuuuut practicality wins. I feel you sis. Thanks for the tip!
What conditioner and gel u use?
Girl mine was a disaster until I started doing it in the shower. I also used less product
Exactly i was like WHAT NO not even my 3c 4a hair could cope with that method lol
This video makes me realize how lazy I am. If I have to detangle for more than a few minutes, I'm ready to aggressively rip through my hair with the detangling comb.
LOL.... I don't mean to laugh but this is super funny. Your baby is soooo cute! Sheryl and Zoe are to funny....love it!
Girl, laugh away!! I laugh at myself all the time. 😂😂
"Why are you not giving me the life I deserve right now?!" Sad, funny, and true. I love your energy and honesty. Our hair is so worth it!
💯
Y’all see Mowrey sisters, I see TH-cam’s Monroe sisters. LaToya could be an additional sister, for real.
Anyone else thinks she sounds a bit like Essence Atkins... the actress?🙂
RK Yes and looks like her.
I do wash and goes three times a week. The more you do them the easier they get.
Your hair looks amazing 💙💙❤️❤️🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Awww thank you hun!
my hair always grows so much when i do this in the summer BUT the knots and tangles I get mean i lose all the growth anyway having to cut out tangles and knots over time.
🤦🏾♀️ Ugh...I can imagine....
Speak the facts sis
Same here
Same I did my hair everyday in the shower and it grew so much now that it’s longer it gets tangled fairy knots and then split ends I don’t understand 🤦🏽♀️😞
4b-4c hair completely defines. There is no set system in this video. There’s no strategy for washing or conditioning or anything. If you section your hair and not clump product in it and try finding a system that works for your hair the process would be simple. I have 4b-4c hair and i wash and go frequently.
THIS was so crazy validating! I watched this and all I could say was, "this woman is me!" I've never seen a tutorial where I've seen my hair so clearly. Thank you.
I have never found someone who's hair type is this similar to my own. And girl, you were truly up for a challenge. When I heard you say a wash-n-go on type 4 hair! I was hooked!
I'm less than halfway in and I'm already getting anxiety.
...then this means my hair is like 4d😂😂
Just because her hair is moisturized does t mean she does not have 4c hair
Ur hair is just dry
Ok but how is no one talking about that gorgeous cute baby!!!! That smile is everything 🥰🥰🥰 so cute!🤗😚
I watched the first bit of the video and just went “omg the hair texture is just like mine 😃- yours is thicker but yeah same texture” very exciting for me and I totally got a kick out of that 😃😃...anyways, I have tried wash and go 3 days in a row and by the third day I was like nope. coz once the hair dried up, that was it 🤣🤣... thanks for sharing. I enjoyed this video wish they had a 5 thumbs up button 🥰🥰
Your hair is so fluffy and pretty! I have 4c hair as well and I found that the mane choice gelato somehow dries my hair faster. After I wash my hair I keep it in a towel for about 30 minutes or an hour so it’s damp then I apply a really thick moisturizer then the gelato then the wet line gel and then I diffuse my hair until it’s dry and of course I sleep in a satin bonnet and my wash n go lasts for over a week. Like a week and a half. Tangles and shedding is no issue for me and my hair is pretty soft. I’m loving it lol
What’s your routine ?
You should watch a love 4 me shes type 4 and she wng all the time and uses minimal product enjoyed this video
Achia is great for type 4 WnGs tips!
I really like A love 4 me! She convinced me I could learn to do a successful wash and go on my type 4 hair. Its been over a year and I only do wash and gos' using a cream and Kinky Curly Custard. My hair now knows what to do and I don't have issues with a lot of tangles.
I wish someone taught me how to do/take care of me my hair growing up, I’m currently transitioning with type 4 hair and I’m already getting discouraged I have no idea what to do with it when it’s out of braids :(
You got this!
It gets better with time trust me ❤️
Girl hang in there. Cause when you're finished transitioning you're going to dominate! Yah bless you to know him.
I'm proud of you, You are learning to know your hair, what it likes and don't like. I've been on a natural hair journey for almost 10 years
after 6 1/2 years I finally fully learned my hair. My type hair is 3C and 4A your hair is Beautiful. God Bless
Latoya applying Eco: how much am I supposed to put on?
Me applying Eco: uses a quarter of the tub
There is a salon @synergi salon that promotes daily washing. The owner Karen Gary posts videos weekly with tips and styling. I have tried daily washing but I didn't last more than a week myself. I understand it takes time, patience and appreciation of where you are.
A great tip is to moisturize and twists your hair at night. And then wet it separate and moisturize/ add styling products in the morning, one twist at a time. & then diffuse it with a blow dryer as you stretch it. It will define your curls & stretch your length at the same time. However WATER is key, like a lot of water. More water than your product, which will help distribute the product. I call that the “Wash & Stretch”
I’ve accepted that I can’t air dry without stretching or I’ll be lopsided and tangled AF!
Lol I know right?! Like idk how some girls can wash their hair not in twists and let it air dry. My hair has to be stretched 💯% of the time.
@@marymikel9193 if I wash my hair in twists it’ll still be dirty because of product that didn’t get reached properly. But I’m 3c / 4a and my hair doesn’t tangle because I’ve been finger detangling for years
@@jbb8261 That's Soo cool! Although I do love wash days and my hair may need more time to manage I still love it. Besides, I've thought that ladies with type 4 hair that can wash their hair not in Twists and air dry is like a super power. 😆 If I tried I'd likely regret every moment of it later.
Toya is a wife and a mom now. From an OG subscriber This is still surreal to me and beautiful!!! Prayers for you and the fam during this quarantine.
I also feel betrayed by youtube because you’ve been uploading yet you never popped up in my notifications 🧐 Anywho, I’ll follow your suggestions to make sure I get updates.
To be perfectly honest, I’M still in disbelief. It’s so crazy how much can happen in such a short amount of time. Some days feel like a dream!
Giiiirrrrrl, you ain’t said nothing but a word! So many of you have left the same comment. TH-cam chooses how many people see an initial post in the new algorithm. If people watch and engage with the video, they push us out to more subscribers. Comments and likes matter more than ever now. THANK YOU for turning on notifications! 🥰
This just goes to show the difference between hydrated hair and dehydrated hair. The more you do wash and goes the better they become. Get rid of the oils. Please researcher the 30 day detox.
I love your wash n gos! You give me hope that 4c hair can be just worn as it is/unstretched too. Yay options!
Your little one is such a cutie.
My hair looks like yours, but it looks great on you! Maybe because your face is pretty...it looks horrible on me (when I try to do wash n gos). I think I will stick with twists.
4C struggle lmaoo legit nervous to wash it lmaooo
Ur not suppose to wash ur hair everyday nor manipulate it it's gonna break
my hair literally hates coconut oil is it just me? & wash n gos just end up a tangled mess, I appreciate this video for reminding me not to try again lmao
Michi Loui nope... my hair hates it too. My stylist had to wash my hair with tea tree twice just to get it out of my hair. My hair loves avocado oil though.
Funny video, your facial expressions were dead on - lol. I went natural while living in Florida and it was the best thing I've ever done. It's been lot of trial and error including relying on butters and oils rather than moisture to condition my hair. My hair prefers water over products. But my second bestie would have to be conditioners, but you need pay attention to the ingredients - they are not all equal. I have some great for detangling before I wash my hair, some are protein infused, some have glycerin, and some have cleansing properties to help keep my scalp clean.
A wash n go for me starts with dripping wet hair - I dont wring it out nor towel dry instead I step out the shower dry off my body and in that time any excess water in my hair has dried and Im ready to start styling. I set my hair with a syrup texture product to lock in the moisture and a gel or mousse to define my curls. In warm climates I can and love to wash n go everyday. Tip: section the hair into 2 or 3 sections using a puff cuff or elastic band small enough you dont have to double loop it and blow dry your roots or air dry for the first hour or so. Then after your roots are dry, more than not, take off the cuffs or elastic bands shake or pick out the parts lightly and air dry or diffuse the rest of the way. Living in Michigan now I wash n go once a week and refresh my hair with a braid or twist out week two then go back to full wash day starting week three. Maintaining natural curls and coils is a labor of love and experimentation❣
Your video is great because I can relate. I couldn't figure out who you remind me of as I look at your video and it came to me. Has anyone told you resemble Essence Atkins from Half & Half, Smart Guy and Girlfriends' Getaway.
I am a wash and go every 2 days during this quarantine, but I just use shampoo once a week . I wash my 4c hair with conditioning
This is the realest wash and go I’ve EVER seen on TH-cam! Thank you!!!
Hey there👋🏽 yes, I love wash n gos in the warmer months. I have type 4a/b and I don't manipulate it daily...only once a week. Once you find the best products for your hair, you don't need to wash it daily. It needs to be done on soaking wet hair, (loc or lco method) add gel. Sit under dryer, band to stretch, then sprtiz with warm water and conditioner when it becomes dry. This will last me 7 days then I start over doing this weekly.
The tighter the curl pattern the more hydration you need daily. Watch Anthony Dickey Hair Rules videos
I don't know which C I am yet. But a wash and go everyday changes that hair! People would ask me my routine.... Water. Oil. Then water again.
You should try putting your leave in, while in the shower.
Hi ..pls wat is the name of the song day 6?
One of the 4c hair OG’s! I’m from the “whooo”/ “what’s up it’s Toyaboo!” days hahaha. Fun fact - I created my first TH-cam channel just so I could comment on one of your videos. It’s SO good to see you back with more natural hair videos🎉
HEEEEY!!! 👋🏾 I’m so glad you came back to check in with me. I used to love that little “whooo” 😂 Those were the good ol days.
Your makeup is soooo pretty! Also, have you ever seen Joy-el on here? She is type 4 (very similar to yours by looks anyway) & she does her hair like you are attempting to do yours. Cleanse, condition, apply leave in & oil and leaves her hair in its Afro state. Check her out if you haven’t seen her. And your baby is such a handsome fella 😁
Your production and editing skills are amazing girl.
Aww thank you Celeste! *hugs*
I'm a hairstylist with 4b- 4c hair and I always hated wash n go's until I actually got educated on it.It was never easy to do,never fun and I never got the results I wanted.However,now when I actually got time I attempt them with way better results lol May I suggest when you do it the next time that you drench your hair first then add a gel/gelly or a foam with very little alcohol,it's done wonders for my coils and they last longer🙂.
Anyway, amazing video and your hair is gorgeous!
The carols daughter may be too nourishing for your hair. You need more moisturizing leave ins and conditioners. Try evoo instead of coconut oil. #GORGEOUS
Wash and go is my “go to” style but I only do it once a week. I couldn’t imagine doing it every day. That’s too much work. I don’t spend a lot of time de tangling like a lot of people say they do, but... I have better things to do than wrangling my hair every single day. I guess I’m type 4a/b.
i’ve been watching you for years! i remember when you texturized your hair! it is looking so beautiful and healthy now. loved this video🥰
I have seborrheic dermatitis so I use medicated shampoo (scalp only) every 3-4 days. The only way I survive shampooing every three days is keeping my hair in twists and detangling the sections each time. I never tackle my hair unsectioned lol. You are a SOLDIER for this lol.
Nooo...you can't wash type 4 hair everyday. maybe every 3-4 days..too much for our hair....it is too harsh for our hair..
You’re telling me....😪
You can cowash every day if it’s short enough, your hair will actually thank you. But yeah with shampoo, your hair WILL fight you 😂😂😂
📣📣this video is my like everyday mood with my hair 😂😂
.. Why won't you loveeee meee😭😭😭❤📣
But at the end of all the struggles I love my coily , curly, kinky hair 😊
Two words. Hair grease. Applied to wet hair, before products, preferably containing some waxy ingredients (like Dax) . Grease is your friend for moisture retention.
ptt218 that depends on your porosity. this DOES NOT work for everyone. especially on low porosity hair. if i did this, my hair would be so dry
I just started to use blue magic grease and so far I like it
Grease also helps prevents tangles
The two main ingredients in Dax is petroleum (a silicone) and paraffinum liquidum (mineral oil)
Exactly, I use Vaseline after putting my leave in. Amazing
Blue Magic hair grease and wetline gel 👀
Your hair is so thick, full and lovely!
Definitely getting Essence Atkins from you!!! You’re so pretty!!!
Tell it Tay Agreed! She definitely sounds like her.
I used to wash and go all the time and loved it until my hair got to shoulder length and then it became impossible because of the single strand knots :-(
😩 I hate single strand knots!! I can’t escape them. It’s amazing what our hair does all by itself. Smh lol
I prefer wash and goes/styles it’s quicker and easier for me (4a&4b). I diffuse my hair making sure the roots are dry. I wear an oversized satin bonnet (the Mane Choice Bonnet) and wake to shake my hair out, if I need to I will spritz water or use a refresher spray (the Mane Choice Restorative Spray) and shake my hair back to life. The bonnet pretty much keeps my curls in tact and with the right combination of products my hair remains moisturized for 5-6 days. I wash my hair once a week. I hardly manipulate my hair other than shaking it out until wash day. If I want it stretched I will band it with satin scrunches for about 30-45 minutes and it will pull it down to my shoulders. My hair actually goes down to my breasts but nobody sees that ‘cause the shrinkage is Real. I’ve been natural 3 years. It took me 2 1/2 to figure it all out but I’m working it all out. I love my coily hair. I was relaxed pretty much all of my life until 3 years ago and always wanted curly hair. I didn’t even know what was underneath that relaxer. Team Natural. 💕

I love your hair is so cute
Thank you hun. And thank you for leaving such a sweet comment.

Thank you so much for this video! Your thoughts are EXACTLY what I think when I’m doing my daughter’s hair. 😆 You’re beautiful, BTW! ❤️
"Sorry if your name is Sheryl" 😂 Hilarious
Why did you wash it everyday? You just wash the first day and hydrate everyday. I was confused.
It was an experiment. Nothing more. 😊
I wash n go weekly, occasionally I do a midweek cowash when needed but it has taken me a many many months to find products that work and are hydrating and perfect my technique. I have very tightly coiled hair and I didn’t think I could do a wash n go but everything changed in my hair life when I found good products and omitted oils.
Monica Mitchell That’s all it takes is the right combination of products and everybody’s hair is different so you kinda have to figure that out for yourself.
Why don’t you use oils?
I’m curious as to the oils as well.
When I would do twist outs I had to wait two days for my hair to dry in twists. May hair does better without the use of hair dryers. To be able to wash, deep condition, and set my hair once a week in its natural pattern is a very low manipulation style. Botanical custards like Uncle Funky's Daughter curly magic and Kinky Curly Custard spread easier throughout the hair than heavy gels. They're also more concentrated and with lots of water you use less product. All I need through the week is my bonnet, and satin scrunchies to maintain my style at night. I've learned that wash and go's are a great way to moisture train your natural hair. More moisture, less tangles and more length retention.
This video was everything. The 4c life is a vivid one. Full of twists and turns. Glad you tried something different & saw the fun in it ❤️
Just saw your video! OMG, sis, you and I were doing the same routine at the same time and YES I understand your frustration. I too made the same mistake with using shampoo and conditioner and it did not end well. My hair was dry and detangling was a mess. I just now did a co-wash and I had a much better time detangling and styling my wash and go and right now I am on day 2 and my curls are still poppin' I have my hair up though b/c it is pretty hot today and I don't like to have my hair in my face when it is hot. But YES girl, I feel you wholeheartedly. I think from now on, if I want to do a wash n go, I have to co-wash because shampoo every day even with the top of the line 'moisturizing' shampoo will result in dry hair and matted ends.
You’ll only have to do this once per week if you did it how you did it with the gel, the “youtube wash and go” Its low manipulation and perfect for growth. As if gets older I just throw it in a puff until its time to wash again
Also sit under the dryer
Good advice. I’ve just had to fluff it these last two days. It’s really easy...I don’t like how the gel makes it feel, though. 😒
Who ever named it wash and go should be slapped in the face with a chair❤️❤️
Banding for me has been a Godsend😇. I’m a type 4 errrythang a, b, and c. I do wash n go’s during warmer months and when I get in a routine my hair gets used to it and it’s less time. But stretching it by doing a pineapple or banding really keeps my hair from getting matted. I also have to remember to keep my hands out of it so it lasts longer. I use a lot of what you used such as the As I Am and Kinky Curly but instead of ecostyler I use Camille Rose Curlmaker which I ❤️. And I always use a good oil to seal. Thanks for making good content 👍🏽’s up.
Camille Rose...I’ve heard about this brand more and more these days. I’m gonna have to make a product list of recommendations lol! My hair cabinet JUST got purged. 😂 I thought about banding, but I was concerned with taking them off without ruining the definition...🤔 I may have to jump in and give it a try then!
LaToya Ebony Girl the curlmaker and moisture milk are my forever in my stash from the Camille Rose line. I even use the curlmaker for braid outs. When I band I don’t do it tight so I keep a lot of definition and stretches my hair so it doesn’t tangle. Wash n go’s can be a beast with tangles🤦🏽♀️😇
Wash and wear as I call them ain’t no fun for us 3c-4a gals either. I am still trying to get past day 2 without all the manipulation. I keep asking God why does this have to be so difficult🙄
Right that’s why I just do twist out instead when I feel like twisting lol
Great video! You have beautiful coily hair. I'm a 4C with massive shrinkage too. I used to have very dry hair as well until I learned that with low porosity hair, adding the heavy butters and oils locks moisture in for the day but prevents new moisture from getting in. So, I don't use those anymore and may occasionally use olive oil, which keeps my hair moist for days. Deep treatments and steaming are game changers for improving moisture. Also using mousse first to stretch and define the hair, then follow up with any gel of your choice will give you a nice elongated defined wash and go. Good luck to you. We have to continue to share so we can learn from each other.
I’ve been doing this all week too! Bathing hair in conditioner, finger detangling and using styling products whilst in the shower. Drying time is too long when air drying but I don’t like using heat. Literally a “wash n stay at home” so I don’t mind keeps me busy in the morning at least 😂🤣 I need to figure out how much product to use so no residue 😱
"wash-n-go" is a style and not a technique. No one washes and goes; whether you're 3A moussing and diffusing or 4C shingling/raking & shaking. This way is like a fast track to breakage. Thanks for putting it to the test
I think she was just experimenting.
I do my wash n go twice a week with a mid-week co-wash...it changed the game for me...increased moisture and growth.
Just stopping by to say she is SO cute I love her.. lol, with that being said I've never tried wash and go's with my hair and now I'm not sure I ever will lol. My hair would just laugh at me. But her hair is gorgeous
I love wash and gos on 4c hair and I love the fact that it looks different everytime. I love my wash and gos really shrunken and without much gel. I can't stand the excessively long dry time it takes when I use plenty of gel. Your hair is beautiful. 😍😍😍😍
4c Hair is soooo beautiful yet UNDERRATED💕💕💕
Agreed!!
Very much agreed.
Wow, you were in for some serious week of exercise doing the wash n go's. Your hair looked good, but I don't if I could do this everyday. I have to command the dedication to get through the week :)
Hey LaToya! You should definitely check out The Black Curl Magic Digital salon. Two stylists with wng as their main style. They also have a couple of wng tutorials here on YT as Black Girl Curls. Just one styling session a week and no oils/leave-ins needed ;)
I've been following their advice for three weeks now and things have CHANGED.
I was going to recommend the same thing! Ive been following them since December. Best decision ever.
My hair type is SUPER similar to yours. I have a mix of all the type 4's, with the front being the loosest and the back being super neat 4a curls. The rest is a predominantly 4c mix, so I've always considered myself type 4c as well. I've never done a wash and go with a hard gel like Eco styler, but I think it could be a fun idea for a video on my channel one day. That day is not today tho lol.
Hi, thanks for your video!!! It’s something I wanted to try for so long but I’m scared. There is a Taren Guy video in Hair Rules salon and the owner of the brand shows a wash and go method without gel to that can be (and welcome to be) perform everyday. It’s an idea if you want to give it a try again one day :-) Thanks again for your video ! It might give me the courage to try ;-)
Your son is so lovely omg 😮
