- HEY GIRL HEY!
Today we are discussing our "favourite style" of all times: the infamous Wash and Go. I hope you can hear the sarcasm as I type this but I have grown to learn how to do a wash and go and most importantly how to care for my hair in the process. Many women with tight curls are wearing wash and goes on the regular, myself included and I think its about time we give this style a chance because of how simple it can be. No breakage and no split ends over here!
Have you tried or would you try a wash and go? Let me know below.

Once you learn how to do it it's the easiest thing ever. It's all about your technique. And you are 100% correct about stretching your hair, that's over manipulation if you do it on a consistent basis. Just embrace the shrinkage continue to do your wash and go and your hair will grow! Then you won't have to be concerned about shrinkage, lol but shrink is shows that your hair is healthy, that it has that snapback that we all love to see 🤗🤗🤗
Exactly! I never thought I’d ever say this but it IS the easiest style 🙈🙈
@@JennJackson Lol, you said it!!! And let me just tell you your hair is stunning! It looks so healthy and I can tell that you really have perfected the wash and go.
💟
I find that keeping my wash n gos stretched has help me retain length and keep my find strands from tangling so much. But to each it’s own. I love our versatile our hair is. Long hair and short hair options at the same time! I’ve really grown to love my shrinkage . Just another way we get to play with our hair
Wash and gos actually helped me grow my hair. My hands were out of my hair, I wore satin bonnets, I re-moisturised every three days. It was actually easier to do and manage.
I love your dark hair. I wash my hair every 5 days, something 7 and get it trimmed every 3-4mos. I don’t get single strand knots.
I love the calm and positivity girl. People take this hair thing way too seriously, it truly isn’t that deep. Keep glowing 👸
you are right...they not taking care of it. i follow the Dickey method...if you are 4c you need to deep condition with heat...need to co-wash often, put your gel on when your hair is drenched..as 4c we can not be after of water and coditioner
I'm seeing people practically admit that they'll do anything BUT wash their hair regularly. It's odd
We can’t wash our hair regularly, our scalp/hair doesn’t produce as much oil as other hair types would. So washing it regularly would do more harm than good.
@@christellemathieu179Who is we?
The advice about single strand knots makes me feel disheartened because I’ve done everything I can to prevent them. Trims every 2-3 months, deep conditioning, consistent washing, gentle detangling and styling. I’m incredibly on top of my hair game and yet I still get them. It’s maddening that all the advice I see is to do the things I’m already doing. Maybe this is just the fine natural
hair life ☹️
What is a single strand knot. I don’t get knots at all being 3B 3C I love wash n gos
Single strand knots won't let my hair be great. I feel you.
One thing that helped tremendously was stretching my hair (blow dry, twists) and weigh down my ends with a thick cream and seal it with a butter.
Wash n go's don't work for me. I just don't do it because I would have so much knots and tangles not worth it.
@@ChelseaStonerrTV it’s a strand of hair that knots on itself. you don’t get knots? ever? must be nice…
@@neuzavaz2845 I was doing exactly that for my first two years of being natural but I started to suffer from product buildup (even with regular clarifying), and it was exhausting trying to twist up my hair every wash day. Overall my hair looks and feels better with wash and go’s, it’s just a shame that my hair produce single strand knots with virtually any style I do
@@arj8383 yeah it's annoying 🙄
It's true that with wash-n-go styling, technique and consistency are everything. I've been doing wash-n-go and using botanical gel since 2008. Although I've read and seen many times about the trouble people had with tangles and SSKs I never had that problem so I kept doing wash-n-go styling most of the time. Length retention hasn't been an issue either. My hair is tailbone length, and yes it has shrinkage but I just let it do what it wants and I don't try to stretch it so when it drys it's only bra strap length.
How often do you do your WNGs and do you moisturise between wash days? Do you take breaks to do protective styles?
@@wanjafaith I usually do my WNGs every 5 days. In Dec 2022 I was diagnosed with CCCA so now I shampoo twice a week. No I don't moisturize between wash days. I just put on a loc soc or a pocket bonnet at night and fluff my coils out in the morning. I'd say around 5% of the time I'll wear crown braids, a bun, or a twisted updo. However, I've never worn a protective style that I keep in for several weeks.
I love this! You made awesome points that I've never considered. I love how you said 'Do you think God didn't know what he was doing when he gave us shrinkage? I beg to differ!' Also, I loooovvvvveeeee your voice 😁
My issue is that mine NEVER LASTED more than 3 days. I used all the right techniques, all the right products, got beautiful results and sat under the hooded dryer. 2-3 days later my hair needed to be redone. I was EXHAUSTED. I’m a mom of two little ones, definitely don’t have time for that, so I’m back to doing braids for 8 week stretches. Wearing my hair out for a month and redoing my braids or twists after. I do cleanse really well though and deep condition and have seen a lot of growth so I’m happy! Thanks for the video Jenn 😊❤
Same…I have three little people. My hair is thick. My hair stays in twists…mini twists when I want to feel special. Lol. I have never done a wash and go and probably won’t. I NEED for my hair style to last weeksssss at a time. I do love Jenn though and admire all she does.
There is no wash and go that will last for more than 4 days. I did my wash-and-go before they named it that name. Our hair just won't keep that style. In order for your curls to pop you need moisture and make sure you use a good product.
@@TheLoveweaverehh idk I’ve seen plenty of people say their wash n gos last a week or more…
Mine kinda act similar too…
Feel like most people simply aren’t adding enough water…
Tighter hair textures want extra water to distribute and activate the product
Then your issue may be where you live. If you live in a humid climate, then chances are your styles won’t last that long.. trust me, I know. Sometimes my styles don’t last 2 days (and the worst only lasted one day) I live in the tropics. So my styles never last as long as these TH-camrs who likely live in drier climates. So basically, water in the air + products that are made with ingredients such as glycerin = styles that don’t last
@@jerm-gv9rv nope. I live in Houston. One of the most humid cities in the states. Any natural around where I live will tell you the same
I cut off all my hair Jan 1st 2022 and I have done nothing but WNG.... but I learned how to properly do my hair. I WASH my hair with shampoo 2 x's a week...and my hair is the healthiest It has ever been, ?It is all about the techniques , how you are caring for it.... I have been natural since 2015 and in 2022 is when I really first started truly caring for my hair. Everything I learned from TH-cam UNIVERSITY was dang near wrong....Thank god for Growth, Education!!!!!!!
I agree! I'm in a wng 90% of the time and the only time i receive breakage is from wearing the style too long - hence dryness. some people think they should be able to wear a wng for 2+ weeks and it makes no sense. go wash ya hair girl
Hi Jenn, I just wanna say single strand knots are different from split ends. In fact, I kind of think they protect our hair from split ends. I used to think they were the same until I actually saw spilt ends (usually on straighter haired people) and was like oh wow 😮 nah, I don’t have those 😂. The remedy to both is trimming though.
I love my W&G. Need to learn twist outs.
Regardless of style, a comb does NOT pass through my hair unless it is wet!
Also, recognising when to wash my hair- if its dry/frizzy, it needs a wash!
I used to alternate between the wash and go and a twist out, but a nice curly cut made me a 100% wash and go girl. I love it here!
I literally never thought I could do a WNG until about 3 months ago. Washing 7-10 = cleaner scalp, more hydration, curls getting more defined, detangling gets sooo freaking easier. Like imagine detangling is easier for me now and I haven't trimmed in over a year (I'm getting a trim next week y'all 😅 and I can't wait!!!)
My hair is a little dense so a diffuser on a hairdryer is kind of hard for me and takes a long time. I wish a had a salon hooded dryer lol
@@selfcompassionate thanks i'll check it out! And what I meant is since my hair is a little dense, it's hard to dry some areas when I do a wash n go. My hair just takes long to dry so that's why I need a hooded dryer
I used to do a lot of wash and go, and my hair didn't break. My hair loves water, so it grew even more. I also do protective style, and it also helped with the growth and keeping my length. I don't leave it pass 6 weeks. I think it depends of the person hair and how they take care of it. Everybody's hair is different and needs different things. Oils work for my hair but not my scalp 😔.
I’m starting back to basics because I’ve been doing wash-n-gos daily for 6 months and I thought my hair was thriving. Super moisturized, no detangling, no dryness or fairy knots nothing! But then I got braids…and then when I took them out my hair was severely dry and my stylist said my hair was starting to break up the shaft…I assumed it’s from my wash-n-go and not the braids…
Love the convo. And the straight talk! I needed that my 2 trand twists are lookin extra gorgeous today 😍
Thanks Jenn J .. yes I believe consistency is key! 🥰💙.. I’m a twist out girl trying to do more wash n gos .. so this video definitely gave me some inspiration 💙
I agree with a lot of women in the comments. I tend to go between wash and go’s, braid outs, and braid and curls. I think people get breakage because they try to make a wash and go last 7+ days, instead of refreshing every 4-5 days. I think with natural hair, there will always be single strand knots. I tend to shingle whenever I do wash and go’s, and whenever I feel a knot on a strand I just snip it. I think they key to having a good wash and go without breakage is having a good leave in, a good gel to form a nice cast (and a protective layer for the curls to last longer) and well as a good way to put hair up before bed. I don’t stretch with a blow dryer, but I do band my hair at night and that stretches the curls nicely. Sometimes I put a little oil on my hands and just do two single plaits and twist the very ends, and that gives me a good 3-5 days before I refresh again. A wash and go can be refreshed. We can’t be afraid to re-moisturize and re-wet, and apply more product as needed. It’s a learning process but worth it 💕
Thanks for the READ , sis! Great reminder ❤️. ( Your hair skin and make up is GORGEOUS 👑
Thank you so much. Your Solon visit videos was everything for me. It works!!
Your hair looks so good! U be right about a lot of stuff. We just have to be open minded 💗
I want to say thank you for your wash n go series back in 2021! I love me a wash n go Chile! My hair is truly the best it's ever been I swear!
You are so welcome!
I haven't done a wash and go in years, but your advice is very good for the process and a good hair regimen. People are uniform because of lack of knowledge.
Jenn, Girl 😊😊😊❤❤❤Loved the energy and content 😊😊
Since I big chopped to a TWA back in 2019, I have been doing cream only wash and gos predominantly and with leave-in conditioner and foam on a few occasions. My wash and gos last 2 weeks with a lot of definition and I rarely get single strand knots. My hair is now armpit length and I trim/cut my hair every 3 months. I use a hooded dryer which dries my hair quickly. I love shrinkage because it gives my hair more volume. If you use the curl chart, my hair is 4A and shrinks about 40 to 50% .
You are so on point and accurate in how you address each hair issue!
Thank you 🙏🏽
This was excellent and spot on!!! 💯
Girl, you are my Friend!!!
I agree. I didn't think I could do a wng but I learned better technique and it's fine. No more breakage than with any other style.
Ok girl! This made me subscribe.
Love from Kenya 💞
I love Wash and Go's braids outs are my enemy lol
I wish I could master the wash n gos I’m going to keep trying and hope it works for me soon 😊 thanks for the video
Love your personality and content. Congratulations on the healthy baby
I've been natural for almost a decade but still chose to have my hair professionally done. Unfortunately, I've never been able to successfully do my hair whether relaxed or natural.
At the height of the pandemic when hair salons were closed, I struggled with doing my 4C shoulder-length hair, and knots were the biggest problem. When the hair salon reopened my hair was so damaged that my stylist recommended the big chop.
My hair eventually grew back, but wasn't as healthy and strong due to multiple prescription medications I had to take after being diagnosed with a serious but non-life-threatening illness.
Jenn, your video has inspired me to wash my hair between my bi-weekly salon visits. I'm overdue for a trim and will ask my stylist to create a schedule for routine trims. Also, I recently started taking a supplement by Nature's Way, 2 pink gummies, Monday thru Friday.
Thank you Jenn 😀❤
Agreed!!!!! WATER WATER WATER and ALL the things you said😊 Question, where did you get the picture of the woman in the background? Love it!!
I think there’s a learning curve to the WNG and you may experience breakage in the learning stage. I did in my first month and it was because of me learning what detangling tool worked for (that denman brush was NOT it!). But once I got a consistent wash/condition routine and a good detangling tool I was good money.
Yeah the wash n go will not break your hair, it’s how you either do it, meaning what product you use and how you care for your wash n go
I only do wash and goes. Once I learned my application and technique it became easier.
Love, thank you!
You are so welcome!
The first time I did a wash and go I kept it in for a week and then I tried to detangle it the way that I would have done after a protective style. It took me like 3 DAYS to detangle!!! I said never again. But recently I tried it and then washed it after 2 days and had no problem with the detangling process. So I realized that I need to wash it more often and detangle it differently.
Thanks for sharing. And yes, the longer you keep them in, the dryer your hair gets and the harder it is to detangle
Is there a maintenance routine that you follow in between your washes? Or do you just keep it without product?
Great information! Great video!!!! Straight to the point!!!! LOVE your intro!!!!🤗🤗🤗🤗💖💖💖
Yea I m experiencing breakage a Lil. But I just hit the edges with gel and sprits with water. To reset it. It does help.
Great info!
Everyone’s hair is different. To each his own. Have a great week. ❤
Hi Jenn! I do wash and gos weekly but the problem I constantly deal with is drying time. To put it into perspective, I got a wash and go done at a salon and I was under the dryer for 2 hours. I had to leave the salon with my hair still damp. My hair is super low porosity so I don’t know what to do concerning drying time😢
when I had below bra strap length hair, I used to always wear my hair in a wash n go. I was mainly a wash-and-go or puff kind of girl because I'm not good at styling. it's kind of disingenuous to say that highly textured coily hair won't tangle or knot up at all in it's most shrunken state though. You can definitely minimize it to an extent but they won't completely get rid of them. Also ssks are not a symptom of dryness. They're a symptom of the coil, coiling up on other. This can be mitigated by certain ingredients like silicones or oils. This is the first time I've ever heard that people thought wash n goes break hair or that they make their hair dry. I also don't think most naturals think oils hydrate. especially since most always have their trusty water ina spray bottle
First off…. Your intro and outro music is BOMB!! Secondly, I had to do a double take and replay the part where you said “people are putting their man’s juice in their hair”!! Like, wait!! Whaaaaa😂
It seems like more people wear a wash and gos more than any other style, maybe it's just me, lol nonetheless please continue to spread the gospel that watch and goes do not break your hair but all that other stuff very well could!!!!!
I’d like to see your washing go over the course of the week to get more specific tips on how to care for the Wash N Go.
I love wash and go's, but it's too dry (and cold! I air dry) where I am in the winter to wear them constantly.
You are so right because you do have to have a technique on how to and a lot of water
It's a beautiful hairstyle but it's not for everyone. No matter what I do, it breaks my hair mercilessly
Hi Jenn,
Thank you for this info. I have kinky, coily, my cuticle surface is extremely brittle only when dry….what is your surface texture after it dries and how often do you wash it?
I have a rough surface texture and I was weekly on average.
do you have a video on how to achieve your hair in the video?
My hair is a twistout and I’ve linked a similar video in the description box BUT this specific one still be uploaded as a shorts 🙈❤️
gorg
I have 4c/4b/4a(?) hair but I actually can't pull off a wash and go because my hair at the back does not shrink as much as the hair in front. It's the same length but the back looks so much longer. So when I have tried wash and go's, it just looks like a really bad mullet.
❤
🥰🥰🥰🥰
Love you Jenn. When is the baby due? Boy or girl?
I do also agree with you that wash n go does not broke our natural hair
Don't like it for my fine hair and will never like it. To each their own.
The ones that hate shrinkage want pretty curls. 👀What? How? You just can’t. If you want pretty curls and longer hair just let your curls be. A der lol!
They are looking for a specific type of curls
A der!!! 😂😂😂😂😂took me out with that one
HOT water (as told by my goto guy @getglamfam) drys out our hair and scalp not oil. Okay love you ,byeee.
