I love your wash and go's :-D
Beautiful curls!! Nice job!
Yes! I'm so excited since this is my go to style!
Whitney I love this particular style on you, its alot of work but it looks really good.
Finally back home and a 2nd video today, YAHOO! 1st how much hair can one person have, I mean WOW! I've been very dubious about wash n go's but all these wash n go video's are making me anxious to try one! You probably used the whole dag on jar of that SM Deep Treatment Masque! I used it once and it was okay about a 7-8 on the moisture/softness scale! Question, if you apply the ACV and then apply your oil trapping it in, then drenching the hair in water do you steal reap the benefits the ACV? I've never used flaxseed gel on soaking wet hair, will try! You said "Nice" girl that's an understatement, that is SPLENDIFEROUS! Dag, I don't got no diffuser, shoot! This is a very good process and the closest I've seen to a wash n go because you did everything while in the shower, except the diffusing of course(we don't want a fried Whitney!) What is this 80's sounding track it's cool wit the "clap claps" but I have no idea what he's saying! You are so funny, you got whip lash from shaking your hair out... okay torso twist it is! I'm due for a wash so I think I will be trying this and with the weather cooling down I think I can get away with using the Shea Moisture flaxseed gel which has glycerin in it...oh wait I forgot that fast, no diffuser, oh shoot I got to put this off for a bit, but I will definitely share when I do! GREAT tutorial, 2 THUMBS UP! Thanks for sharing!
I really, really appreciate the crystal clear explanations, and the level of thought and detail that goes into your videos. The little details like the angle of the bobby pin (I know from experience that it makes a ridiculous amount of difference), how to shake out the hair without hurting your neck, how to section and wrap the hair, the suggestion of the shower mirror, how to tie the freaking hair scarf. These little things can add up to a much better 'do. Absolutely fantastic work! Thank you!
Yes! Naptural85, you give really, really good tips! Thank you! I haven't done my first wash and go yet, but gonna dive in this week! (My hairstylist was rod setting my hair.)
your hair looks like it smells so good
OMG!!! I just tried this method and can't believe the results. I did this method but started off with your 25 minute co-wash and detangler. First off my hair was tremendously soft and detangling was a breeze. I put on my styler while in the shower like you recommended and... WOW!!! I never thought to put my styler on in the shower. My curls have NEVER been defined like this I actually want to rock my wash and go and I never do. There is absolutely no frizz. Thanks so much for these tips! I am overjoyed with the results and my hair actually moves now. Haha! Love your channel!
So excited to try this! I've had so many failed wash and go styles....I absolutely love this and been a follower of you for YEARS!! I'll be four years natural on the 13th!
XO!! Hey angeljatara !! Thank you so much for the support over the years! I hope this technique works well for you!
I just want you to know this was genius. "defining the hair at its curliest when its soaking wet" my wash and go looked the best ever just off this method.
So...... I really want to know why did this video get 9 thumbs down. It's a wash in go for heavens sake. Are you mad because wash in go's don't work on your hair???
Thanks Whitney for the video. Keep up the good work.
9 folks just have a need to be faceless nay-sayers. I mean....if you don't like it, just move on. I think they feel like they matter when giving it a thumbs down. If it helps them think they matter, let them have it.
9 persons have perm on their hair
some people just did not like the style. I did not give the video a thumbs down, but i did not like her hair. it reminded me of sideshow bob from the Simpsons. I thought the texture was nice, but it just looked too poofy. I think she could have achieved a more defined/sleek look if she just sat under a dryer or let her hair air dry. But thats not her style. She likes wild/untamed hair. Glad she was happy with it and thats all that matters.
come on stop bashing people for their opinions. It's part of life, not everyone is going to like everything. Whitney probably gets that too.
I understand not everyone is going to like everything. That is exactly why I asked why did this video get the thumbs down. I really want to know what don't you like about a simple wash in go. Thanks to those that have shared possible reasons.
Hey Whit! I tried this today, with one deviation I used Eco styler gel, and I love the results. This is the only method which has given fantastic results on my 4C hair! No more combing through rows after rows and ending up with no definition after all that hard work!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Because if you I took the plunge and tried the wash n go on my daughter by keeping her in the shower with soaking wet hair to apply product. I had always been scared of trying it that way and opted to apply gel on damp hair. I watched this video today and I swear that was not only easiest thing in the world, but also the BEST results ever!! I truly appreciate all that you do and allowing mom's like me, a window into your journey, to make ours a little easier.
You have been my "hair crush" for 2.5 years now:) This video gives me some hope on my wash n go....I have to try this method..you're the best!
I just did this to my hair and omg this is my first wash and go since returning natural two years ago. I love it!
So I just tried this out right after watching this video and I'm totally IN LOVE with how my hair came out. Normally my wash-in-goes are insanely frizzy because my hair is just frizzy on its own, but putting the product in before I got out of the shower really helped cut back on my frizz! I'm so happy right now. I will be doing this all the time! Thank you for sharing this!!!
She has shrinkage, but it's the kind of shrinkage where you still knows she has a crap ton of hair lol
I LAUGHED out loud
Elektrikkiss lmfaoo how did I see this so early
Naptural85 I have to thank you for this video. I've been natural for nearly 9 years now and I had never been able to wear a wash and go for more than a day. I've worn twists all this years and I was always scared about not having time to style my hair. I've been watching you almost since you started and because of how my hair is had never attempted what you did on this video up until this week. It might sound like an exaggeration, but this changed my life. Now, I'll only be spending about 1/4 of the time I used to spend on my hair thanks to you. Keep up the great work. THANK YOU
The one thing i love about watching Whitney's videos is tht she has the same hair type as me where as many other natural TH-camrs have had texturizes or have a lot of straight hair even after washing due to heat damage. Keep inspiring ppl w/ ur beautiful hair😊😊😍😍👍👍
You're one of the few vloggers I can watch and be perfectly content in watching til' the end. You're so thorough in your presentations and rarely leave me asking questions. Also, you don't waste time on unnecessary conversation.... I sooooo appreciate you!
These videos are GOLD. They're so full of valuable information. Thank you
I watched this video and immediately got in the shower and tried it out... ITS AMAZING!!! my wash and goes are always a flop, but i think I've found a keeper! Thank you so much!!!
I don't even know how many times I have watched this vid since Whit posted it back in August, lol I love your hair so much, and it's taught me to love mine even more. OUR hair even more. We are truly beautiful people, inside & OUT; and I'm just glad that we as black people are coming to realize that. slowly but damn surly getting there
I love watching your videos. I have just reached my first year of being natural. My hair has grown so much over the months that I am astonished and so proud of it (I've started treating it like it's my child lol). While my hair is still a long way from being anywhere near as long as full as I want it I watch your videos to keep myself positive about the outcome and the long detangling and failed style attempts. You remind me that it's all worth it.
Oh my god. Gyal. 3b/3c hair, my usual wash and go was a literaly disaster everytime, natural curl pattern would just frizz up. I thought it was just my hair, but I legit tried this wash and go to the tea this morning and I don't think I've had better results.. ever. I didn't even use special products or sealant! I just paid attention to the detail of how you were treating your hair/washing/detangling it and its incredible how much of a difference it made when i just gave it a little more care. Usually people make jokes about how I look electrocuted, today my hair is fleeeeeeeking. Thank you so much!!! Gyals, try this is out and pay attention to the details of how she does it, you will be beyond impressed with the results.
I get does jokes all the time plus I'm a science student ( the irony is real )
I just did this method and I am in love. I've been wearing my hair natural for like 2 years but I've been taking care of it for about.....4 months? My hair is basically a frizz magnet and a mix of 3c/4a. I've been trying everything. Everything has left my hair frizzy. I try this and I love it. My hair had major shrinkage (usually down to my shoulders) it was down my ears. Now after waiting, ITS PERFECT: I LOVE THIS
Yaaay my first wash n go was a success thanks to this video!!! I have 4 b/c hair do of course it needs moisture, so I added a step. When I applied the leave-in conditioner, I also used pure shea butter and then my oil. I did this twice before rinsing and then applied the gel (I just used Eco). Also when drying, the diffuser is a must and make sure you pull your hair taut like she said when using the concentrator . I bought a $19 Conair set at Walmart and it worked great. As far as all the other steps, I followed them exactly. I used the shampoos and conditioners that work best on my hair type. THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!!!
Wow a natural hair guru that came up with something thats actually new! That's why I've stayed subscribed...Keep up the good work!
I really appreciate the time and effort you put into making your videos! Also, my hair is like a "before" picture and yours is my dream. We have similar hair but mine is dry and frizzy so I'll def. try this!
I just learned of my 4a hair! I first watched your detangle video..then clicked this one and I am so amazed!!! Your growth is so amazing and your information is key! I started my journey years ago but have had the chop 3 times now out of not knowing how to care for my hair type to prevent breakage and uneven growth! I am SO MAJOR grateful for you and these videos!
The video length is 11:11 my wish is to have hair like yours some day
me too
How's your hair journey going?
Hey Whitney! Your channel inspired me to go natural 10 years ago!
I just now found out you have your own hair care line! GO GIRL.
So proud of your growth and success. You deserve it💝
This looks great!!I My worst enemies when doing a wash and go's are shrinkage and night time routine! I love the idea of adding the products while your hair is completely wet. Then stretching as it dries. BUT I'm still skeptical about the night time routine. My hair squishes and molds into shapes overnight, but I'll def be trying this when I take out this sew-in!
I did this using Thirsty Roots and Eco styler gel......OMG! It came out so Beautiful. ...very well defined individual coils and sooooo soft
Simply beautiful. Your videos are always so well done and thorough. We appreciate the time you take to explain and show detailed steps.
OMG!!!! I tried every wash day/wash and go method known to man and my hair has NEVER EVER turned out so defined or had so much movement Thank you so much!!! I cried when I was finished so from the bottom of my heart thank you!!!!!
I love your hair you are my inspiration seriously
XoXO! Thank you so much! FitterMeNatural XOXO
Naptural85 Love your wash videos inspiration because my hair is so hard and thick I said I hate my hair but my cousin said don't hate your hair so yeah thank you your my hair inspiration😊
I love your video. I also love that your curl pattern/hair texture seems to be the same ALL over your head. THanks so much for all the details. I hope to get better at using different styles on natural hair. I'm so married to my wash and go but learned much from this video.
OMIGOSH!!!!!! I was waiting forever for this video! Your wash and go's give me life lol
Like Joh-Van, I see you everywhere too :P
tried this, I've literally gotten the best wash n go I've ever had, and i've been natural for 5 years. I got all kinds of complements today. thanks Whitney!
cant' wait until my wash n go's are this big and full!
Your wash and go was amazing!!!!!
your wash and go is already big and full...
OMG I just want to thank you! I can never get super defined curls on a wash n go until I seen this video last night, I tried it this morning and it worked! I've only been natural for a little over a year now.
one of your sections is as thick as my whole head :(
judy funnie I know right :(
Totally though!!!
Saaamee 😂😂
Ain't that the truth!
I just want to say thank you for teaching are people about how to take care of are hair,you are truly the godmother of this movement much love to you and your family.
omg I did this to my hair and I just fell more in love with my curls. Thank you so much for sharing your journey and techiques!!!!!!!!!!
Gorgeous ❤I love your videos. I’m definitely going to try adding oil to my hair in the shower.
Thanks
Love! I'm still transitioning, but u keep me motivated to keep going when my hair gives me the blues. Thank you!
My daughter showed me your video and I liked it. So, I decided to try what you said. Instead of saying it probably won't work., I did it and I love it!!! Your technique was better and faster. I got compliments from my family and that's saying a whole lot. Thank you for taking the time to share with us what you have learned. Shirley G.
I've learned so much from your channel! I have no idea what kind of hair I have (Maybe u can help??) but all I know is that your tips along with drinking water and eating healthy have made my hair grow really fast! Thanks and keep the videos coming!!!
One thing I love about your videos is you always mention how you preserve your styles. Great video............Love Love Love
"Baby hair pumpin
Lip gloss shinin'
I think ya in the mood for wining and dining"
LL Cool J - Around the Way Girl LOL!
GREAT VID
You are amazing! I am a 4B texture and I have tried wash and gos before, but I never seemed to get it quite right. This works perfectly for me! And using the banding method at the end, it lasted 4 days! I was scared to detangle it so I used your 25 minute detangling method. It took me about 40 minutes which is still an hour less than it usually takes me! And I lost less hair! I am so glad I took your advice. And I got so many compliments too! Thank you!
Thanks Whit. Definitely trying this hair style for this week. Hey Livy and Felipe 😊
Awesome!! Let me know how it goes!! Abbinna AbiiAlice
3 years later and vid is still relevant! This is the ONE and ONLY wash n' go method that works for me. Thanks for the flax gel recipe works fantastic on my hair. Still attempting to find style but thats always a wip. Love the vid. Thanks
Name brand products, diffusers, curl wands... Whitney done changed lol, I love it. :D
Ikr!!
ikr? i was watching her use the diffuser and i was like "man...whit is using heat? i can get used to this!"
Smh -said the same thing. She told us she was going to tho...Idk how I feel about it.
i think its a good thing she has years of videos not using heat and other things and now that she's comfortable in her journey and knows her hair really well she can branch out and try new things plus she's a mom now and she said she was looking to cut down her hair time...
Thanks for showing how you sleep at night too! A lot of people show you how to get the style, but not the best way to preserve it.
your hair is goals girl
I LOVE ALL OF YOR VIDEOS YOU TEACH ALL NATURAL HAIR GROWING MEN AND WOMEN SO MUCH .... THANK YOU YOU ROCK!!!!!
The wash-n-go looks great and I really liked the music.
the music was rockin! "instant re-play"
I just tried this method and I have to say it worked! I tried this after a week of having straighten hair and could not wait to get my curls back. Thanks!
Gorgeous Whitney!!! :D
I love all of your videos, but you hit a HOMERUN with this one! Thank you for all the details, links, and favorite tools, products, and techniques. This one is my favorite natural hair video of all time! Congratulations!
Your amazing I love all of your videos and you have helped me so much with my natural hair journey
Thank you latrice brothers !! I'm happy I've been able to help!!
Hi I've been watching you videos for quite a while now and have just recently stopped using heat on my hair. And now because of your tutorials my hair is healthier than ever. I just love watching your videos and vlogs.
i love that you are trying new things!!!
This wash and go method is by far the best! It made my hair extremely defined and I was able to have the length that I wanted!
I love 4a hair (that is my hair texture) it is so beautiful. I have to keep it very moisturized tho lol
Philomena Calliope it is indeed ❤
I’m still so confused on how to determine my hair type.
Richean Johnson just douse your hair in water and leave it to dry. don't comb at all it or rub i too much when you're drying and also don't pull at it with your hands. that's how you find out your curl pattern
delightful kid thank you
Richean Johnson you're welcome :)
I LOVE this technique! I tried it last night and my hair is like night and day! I live in a humid climate and have the worst problem with frizz! No matter was a use my hair ends up in a big frizz ball when dry. I have never had frizzless hair the way I do with this technique. I would have never thought to put on products while still in the shower....genius!
Back again...Ok the song is called HEARTBEAT DISCO with Barrie Gledden and Chris Bussey. I love this song and of course this channel!
I love that Deep Treatment Masque! I add olive oil and honey to it and it provides the perfect amount of moisture!!
Your Vidz are always a joy to watch. Of course I'll have to watch this step by step when doing this Wash N' Go!!! Your hair looks amazing!!! MANY blessings!!!:0D
Thank you for sharing this technique. I thought the success of my wash and go's depended on product, but your video reminded me that it is also about technique! I modified some of the steps for my use as our curl pattern is the same, but my hair is fine and thick, so I gets PLENTY frizz. However, the cold shot of Aloe Vera and the process of adding oil before the final product to seal in moisture worked great for me. I saw the difference immediately and my hair clumped nicely.
Thanks again,
Kymberley
I have 4b & 4c hair and still watch you videos,they are just drool worthy lol
I tried this and OMG my hair has never been so soft and moisturized and my curls keep their shape I could never get it to do that without shrinkage or dry ends. Thanks love
wow... I've been doing this all wrong. I'll be trying this technique. thanks so much for posting!!
you're soooo pretty! I can't wait til my hair grows back long enough to do a wash n' go. Right now my length & the shrinkage is TOOO much for me lol & I'm def gonna make some flax seed gel once I get settled in my new apartment. #goals!!
Tried this & ♥♥♥ it!!! The first time not so good, give it a second try & great results & many compliments on my hair.... THANK YOU for giving simple instructions & great healthy hair care tips... loving all of your tips so far & a lot of them I already do so it was great reassurance to know that I'm on the right track to healthy & long hair...
Holy shrinkage
Thanks to you I made my own clay wash, banana and avocado mask, and flax seed gel and I loved it all 😘😘😘😘😘thanks again
I'm so glad that i saw you today on 'the Real." Thank you for the link to your videos. I'll be using them for sure.
Ab-so-lute-ly beautiful! I love the thickness of your hair! And how you are able to tame it! Thanks for sharing!
Great video. I love watching all your videos, even the old ones. Your hair came out so nice. Your 6 year natural anniversary should be coming up? Will you do a hair length check? Did the shea moisture deep masque come out better this time on your hair? I know you've tried the collection of the raw shea moisture and liked your other hair cleansers better *****
Thank you Myrian Hale !! I don't think I'll do another one anytime this year, but maybe later! The masque worked well! I was surprised because I didn't care for the pink/tan line of their conditioner/shampoo, but the deep conditioner worked well!
I'm glad it did. Guess we will be seeing u use more after all :)
Girl!!! I have 4b and 4C hair tried wash and go's for 2 years and failed every time!!!! Your method is bomb!!! It worked thanks!!!
The most perfect hair on TH-cam!
I just did this Wash and Go today and it worked like a charm. Plus I finally found out how to use my diffuser. Thank you so much for your videos; I've been natural all my life (I'm 15) and I've never really loved my hair until I watched your videos and learned what to do with it.
your hair is life!
Love the video! I'm going to make some flaxseed gel and try it. So far all your methods have worked for me. Not sure about a wash & go because I don't have a curl. So if I don't get definition I will twist it up, I know my hair will be soft. Thank you for sharing so many of your techniques.
She says that a great wash n go depends on the cleanliness of the hair: it has to be completely clean which might be the reason why she used a clarifying shampoo, which could be why she had to apply conditioner to prevent her hair from feeling stripped. But shampoo raises the dirt; I'm not understanding the point of putting conditioner right over hair that is still marinating in shampoo and suds that contain dirt that was raised up. Doesn't a pre-poo with either conditioner and/or oil or sulfate free shampoo help prevent the hair from feeling so stripped?
sweetcaramel239 ik it drives me crazy, but it works for her. So.....Oh well lol.
Jazzerlat45 you understand the difference between shampoo and conditioner? Shampoo actually removes dirt and bacteria while conditioner is for softening hair, easing detangling , maintain moisture and sometimes it acts as a treatment for your hair. Pre pooing is to reduce the harm done by a drying shampoo (not all clarifying shampoos are drying). But putting conditioner on a shampoo does the same by cleaning the Hair of dirt and bacteria but softening and moisturizing in one stel
Your hair is so,beautiful! And so are you, can't wait to try this
did you put your gel in one of those salad dressing containers? that's genius!
I tried this out, and my curls came out so wonderful. It was the best wash and go I ever did, and I love it.
It is so funny how our "wash and GO", is certainly not a wash and go. It is a wash and still do ten+ (but slightly less time consuming things) and then go... -___- lol
Yvonne Taylor for fun, go shampoo your hair and then leave the house. Let me know how that works out for you
Sorry, so many grammatical errors, but I'm sure you understand.
No one said anything was wrong with our texture or strand shape. This is a HAIRSTYLE. Nothing more, nothing less.
Did I say it was not? I was simply pointing out the irony in calling this hair style a wash and go, when it is clearly not. You interpreted my comment as more.
I concede regarding the term wash and go. She did go, but like an hour and change later lol. Wash and define would be more accurate. I however, dislike the generalizing done in the previous comment regarding black women and hairstyle selection. I have worn a wash and define before. In fact, my first one was a few months ago after being natural a few years. I adore my hair, and loved the look, but my preference for my hair varies based on mood, occasion, and company. This is the narrative with a great many of us. Self hate is an issue, but not always the issue.
I just did this to my hair and when I say just I mean JUST. My hair is still dripping wet and I love it!!! This is the most definition I have ever seen in my hair yet and my natura-versary was on the 7th(ONE YEAR NATURAL BOOYAH)!!! Thank you so much and love your videos!!!!
Your hair is amazing!!
Thank You Whitney! I'm 6 months approaching 7 Months post BC and I think this wash & go will help my 4a kinky curls/coils a lot! Love Yah Girly!
For the Brits watching, Shea Moisture is sold in Boots. If it takes off and sells, they will start to sell their makeup products.
thanks alot x
@@akosuaqueenbonsulol9389 And Superdrug💞.
This has been the BEST wash and go video I've ever seen and gotten great results. Our hair is pretty much the same in so many ways, can't wait to get to your length. Currently shoulder length.
wow hair of an african decent comes in some many curl patterns and textures.
Pretty much.
The epitome of diverse 😻
Well Africa does have 54 countries, with all of those countries containing multiple cultures and ethnicities... How could it not?
***** There were still many cultures and ethnicities. Africa was always diverse
I followed this today and the results were most defined and beautiful wash and go I have ever had. And I have been natural for almost three years!
KINKY MANES ARE THE BEST!!!!
This worked SO well on my hair! I was worried about the amount of gel, but I followed your method, and am loving my curl definition. I always rely on twists and braids, so it's nice to *finally* have a way to wear MY curls. Thank you!!
this is so wonderful, i keep watching!! my hair is still too short though. i have like 1000 sections because my hair isn't long enough to make 2 buns..lol.
How's your hair journey going
I am so happy to see you giving the Shea Moisture Deep Treatment Masque another try! How did you like it? I have been using it for months and it leaves my hair butter soft and detangled. I absolutely love it.
Beautful!! I am definitely going to try this! Thanks, as per usual, loved the tutorial
