Alexa, I get that all the time!! I watch The Real clips on TH-cam and I really like Tamara. I think she’s such a kind woman (and pretty), so I take it as a compliment. Thank you!
Step one:Wash your hair with CONDITIONER and DETANGLE Step two: keep hair soaking wet and leave in Step three: keep hair soaking wet and use your favorite gel Step four: Shake your hair shake you hair and shake it then let it air dry or use hooded blow dryer Good luck with your hair care journey ladies 💟💟💟💟
I love Anthony Dickeys method! He's my stylist and has helped me nourish and grow my natural 4c hair. It's the true definition of wash-&-go and easily done in the shower.
Sentia Weche Really? 9 or 10 years ago, he questioned why I even wanted to be natural! That really turned me off! I spent $$$ in that salon and did not like the results.
That is instructive. He may have changed his tune since then, but I haven't seen many dissenting voices on videos about him and his method. Thanks for commenting honestly!
@@ladylightseeker it sounds like he’s changed his tune and is now focused on helping naturals thrive - and frankly, I’m always here for people growing and moving to a higher vibration😃🎉👍🏾
I do this everyday with less products for less drying time like I don’t use gel on a daily or sometimes no creams and my hair dries in a couple hours. When I say this has changed my life. My life no longer revolves around hair especially having a child I need to not think about my hair anymore. It’s so liberating doing my hair in the shower for 10-15 min and going because I really need to go when your child is small and getting into everything. I don’t do anything else anymore just wash and gos. I literally have no time to protective style or twist out or anything. Here’s another tip because I started running through sooo much conditioner I switched to cheaper conditioner instead of those natural ones that break the bank and the cheap ones feel no different from the expensive ones. Now I’m spending less time and money 💰 💃
I'm curious, what are your hair characteristics? I would love to do my hair everyday, but I have Thick type 4, medium porosity hair. I feel like medium porosity hair is like being a unicorn...nobody talks about it or seems to have it. Do you go for a less defined look or does that not matter in comparison to the time commitment to achieve definition. I'm busy so I usually style my hair in a twist out and keep it for a week or two. I don't have to re-moisture/twist because I use the banding/small pineapple overnight method and have finally found products/technique that work for my hair. I have a lot of products to work through for WnG's but I don't like my hair to get dry since that causes longer wash days and leads to breakage.
Carol Washington yeah I don’t try to go for the defined look like loads of gel and cream. That in my opinion takes way too long. I personally I accept my very natural state true to its name. I think with wash and gos you have to embrace your natural hair to really like it or you will be caught in a world where your chasing a curl type. I even see people with looser hair want tighter curls so everyone has this issue. I’m not sure what is my porosity but I think it’s low porosity. I pretty much stopped doing what youtubers do and just mostly focus on water and conditioner daily. This worked a ton. I don’t hair type but my hair is curly kinky. The hair typing doesn’t help me out anymore because all those charts said not to do wash and gos and stick to protective styles. And when I listened it kind of worked but my hair was always dry and tangly. So I wanted to have moisturized hair and it’s okay if it wasn’t super long because shrinkage doesn’t let people know or defined. I just finally started to accept my hair the way it was.
@@soraya.e5482Absolutely, I feel the exact same way. I'm using products that are not putting holes in my wallet, yet does the job. You're absolutely right, the whole point of wearing natural hair was to embrace our hair no matter what type it is. But that seems to be changing now. I embrace my natural hair as it is also and stick with the products that work for my hair. You don't have to break the bank to wash, moisturize, detangle, and style your hair. I watched a stylist the other day, and he said he doesn't do the hair typing anymore because some people get offended when he used to tell them their hair type. Like you and LaToya said embrace your coils and curls.
It's taken me damn-near 25 years to really become aware of it's diverse styling potential: can do dread's, platts, cornrows, twists (twists are another option, aren't they?), this wash 'n' go stuff I've only just learned about today, my go-to for about the last 8 years😅 which is just combin' it out with an afro-comb (on a regular so that the hair doesn't tangle 'n' punish me too hard), brushing with a hard brush, sponging, I know usually men can buzz it, get waves - other wise it can all just be shaved clean off; and all of this is just about with in the realm of natural hair-care ONLY (as far as I'm aware)
I’m telling you, Anthony Dickey absolutely changed my hair-life! I thought doing it every day - every 3 days was way too much at first but I was wrong and my hair feels SO much healthier, moisturized and it’s now so much quicker to do now that I do it consistently. The whole process takes me 30-40 minutes (including my shower). 40minutes is when I shampoo once a week. It feels more natural, in that I can hop in the shower and feel all over refreshed and not be doing all these little baby sections like you said!
The more you wash and condition your hair as a natural the easier your hair is to deal with. It makes sense. If your hair isn't rehydrated and detangled regularly it's going to be a mess to deal with. A lot of black women balk at this but don't try it to see the results. It's the #1 thing that will transform your hair and what's not to like about fresh clean hair more often.
Girl you brave soul....a meeting on the same day as a wash go!!! Yess our hair takes alot of water and product to capture and lock those curls in place!!!Lol it came out beautifully!!!
Beautiful hair, sis. Only recommendations: 1st. Let the conditioner sit on the hair for a few minutes until the hair starts to hang lower than it was when the conditioner was put into the hair. I use Suave conditioner that you can get for one dollar at Dollar Tree or at WalMart. I use 1/3 of a bottle. You have to SATURATE your hair with conditioner. Once your hair "relaxes," then wash it out. 90% of it out. I usually do my hair, add the conditioner and then shower. By the time my bathing ritual is over, my hair is ready for the next step. 2nd Seconds after my hair was under the shower faucet with water coming down on me, I add in my stylers. Seconds. I don't do sections. I just put it all over. Back. Front. Sides. I do pul up sections of hair here and there to add thee styler, but nothing like what you did. That was a lot of work. 3rd Then, I run my hair very quickly under the shower again and then I shake. Water. lots of it and Conditioner. Lots of it. Are the key to this. I then blow dry. Takes less than 20 minutes with my Dyson Diffuser. And I'm on my way.
Depending on shrinkage you can band your hair at night and pick it out in the morning. Or blue dry your hair on cool air focusing on the roots to give it shape
I have 75 to 80% shrinkage. I am going to attempt a wash and go tonight. I have my conditioner, moisturizer, and gel. I'm going to do everything LaToya did. Would you recommend the banding method to stretch out my hair?
Yeah...a hood dryer would be a great investment. An overnight wash n go also helps with dry time. I wish more new type 4 naturals would start with AD’s method when trying to master their wash n go. It’s a great starting point for learning how much water and product your hair actually need on a regular basis. Not just for this style, but for healthy hair in general. After using this method for a few weeks, I got a lot of perspective on my hair and it became so used to the water, I used less and less product as time went on. Edit: I have not abandoned shampoo. And, honestly, neither has Dickey. Since so many people ask him questions about wash n gos and dryness-many of his videos heavily emphasize co-washing, but he’s aware shampoo is necessary for a healthy scalp. The overall message I’ve gotten from his channel is that our hair needs more conditioner than it does shampoo, which is the type of regimen my hair has always liked.
Denysha Taylor I love what you said. I wish more type 4s would start with AD‘s method to master the wash and go. Yes! I binged all his videos. The reason I got there, is because everyone told me the twist out was where I needed to be and I absolutely hated them. He’s the one who told me if I was to do a twist out, it needed to be on dry stretched hair not wet hair. What?!? Ever since then I’ve been in love with his advice.
👏🏾👏🏾 Yes!! He mentioned shampoo maybe once a week, but conditioner washes in between. I agree! I’m still pretty new at WaGs but I’m a strange way I’m happy I started the hard way. Now I’m able to appreciate as good thing when I see it. His method ROCKS! I wonder if there are other methods I could try. At this point I’m just playing around 😂 I always appreciate your thoughtful comments. I love what you said about adjusting with water and product as you continue to experiment. Also the clarification on the use of shampoo. I’m pinning your comment! 💕 PS: Yes. A hooded dryer or at least a blowdryer diffuser attachment would be a great investment at this point. 🙌🏾
Girl, ive been in love with this method for forever. When you posted the teaser pic i guessed right, bc that method be giving me the best wash&go results, periodt. Im a college student so i cant afford a standing cap dryer, but i spent $20 on the cloth dryer attachments that you can get, and it works fine for me. You can get them for as cheap as 7-10 dollars. Hopefully that helps!
I actually did a consultation with Dickey himself where he walked me through the steps, as in he stopped what he was saying had me SOAK MY HAIR. The method works but the drying time was UNREAL! Perhaps I'll try it again but I'm in nobody's rush ... much like my hair when drenched with water and gel.
I let my hair dry throughout the day (i do it in the morning). I clip my bangs down, and just go about my day. If i do it at night, i have one of those cloth dryer caps that you attatch to a blowdrier. I use that, dry like 70-80% and it dry the rest of the way while im sleeping. Maybe that may be able to help you in the future
@@Limitedonathios :: good idea; thanks for sharing! My hair isn't quite the length nor cut that I trust to just dry and look presentable as it goes. 🤷🏾♀️ I'll have to give this a try once I grow her out a bit more.
YES!! I’ll probably mention drying time more in the update. It’s takes a LONG time. For me, a sit under dryer or blowdryer is definitely needed. Thank you for sharing!
Definitely want to see how u maintain throughout the week - I debate on whether to just sleep with a bonnet or stretch with hair scurchies/ hair bands in 4-5 sections
I used to use this technique when my hair was shorter and filmed it on my channel. It's video numb 42 if you want to check it out. I used to use scrunchies at night.
Definitely want to see how you maintain. I just sleep on satin pillowcase, no stretching and have minimal shrinking. Actually like day 2 shape better but I’ve never been about stretching my hair. Once I mist and claw it out a bit, it’s good to go - basically bounces back lol
You are such a joy to watch and very informative! I have been wearing my 4C low porosity natural hair for 5 years now but I've never done my own hair! I had a standing 2 week appointment with my stylist for the last 15 years! Life after "Rona" has caused me to do things differently! You've got me excited about caring for my natural hair myself! Keep the videos coming! Stay healthy and encouraged Young Queen!
Every two weeks for 15 YEARS!! Wow, that’s so impressive! The funny thing is, I don’t have the patience for the salon, but I’ll do it myself. 😂 I’m backwards. It makes me so happy to hear that. Rona has rocked the boat in so many ways. I love that I can help you feel empowered (in a small way) to do it yourself. 🙈 Your hairdresser might be mad at me! 😂
I did my first wash n go back in January, and the amount of PEOPLE telling me how pretty it was, and how it wasn't 4c or how they would never be able to ACHIEVE this. It made me so sad- but they also got disappointed when I said I had in sit in the shower the WHOLE time . just to do it, and use a LOT of products to get it to show my texture. Thank you so much for sharing your hair. Its so amazing to be staring at a genuine reflection of my hair (been natural for 5-6 yrs now), your hair is so beautiful! Its absolutely stunning and I am so excited to see where your journey takes us!! If I could recommend a product line (i'm new to the channel so forgive me if you've already tried it) but i've been obsessed with TGIN for a minute now, specifically their 'Butter Cream Daily Moisturizer' - and Miss Jessie's 'Leave in Condish', like so obsessed; I've been using it for 2-3 years with insane results. (I would also recommend TGIN's (Thank God It's Natural's) 'Protein treatment'. Girl. Girl- GIRL!!! You brought up the maximum hydration method and I want to tell YOU GIRL!! The ' Miracle RepairRx CPR Protein treatment' is everything to me right now. Frizz, split ends (more so mean when our hair coils aggressively around its self not healthy)(Sidenote: I would recommend getting it as a bundle, with its Conditioner, The conditioner that is made for it is honestly reallllllly nice and I try not to use too much of it because of how nice it makes my hair feel; I save it for if my hair REALLY needs it but its an amazing conditioner), the feeling of my hair not absorbing water, or absorbing LESS water. All those things disappeared- Now my hairs identical to yours tbh. (My Hair used to be very very dry) No pressure just giving some brands to try out (Texture ID is also one I used to use, I still use their '3x Moisturizing Cream Conditioner'(to prepoo and de-tangle) and 'Styling Creme' but I don't get as much of an impact from my hair with it (it's a good moisturizer but doesn't define my hair, I usually put the TGIN cream first(L.C.O) and use the Creme from TD to style strictly, during the winter or if I feel like my hairs been dry recently). It may be the Biotin + Vitamin E which i appreciate.) (sorry for the rant, one more thing) TGIN Changed the formula for its protein treatment so if you find it, and it doesn't say CPR it may be the older one (which was my original love, but tbh them taking out the coconut oil(or butter or shea I can't remember at the moment) and swapping for Black Castor oil and Biotin has been a genuine game changer, before I'd use it maybe every 1-2 months; now I can stretch it to 3 maybe 4 if I want to save the product. And no you don't need to follow instructions and use half of the jar. You'll be able to tell if each section is thoroughly coated. It makes the hair (when applied) feel like jello) I hope all of this info helps in some way! Sending love your way and thank you so much again for everything you're doing!! 🥰💕
I have been using his method for a year. My hair has grown and flourished. I can't live without co-washing through the week and resetting with a shampoo at the end. To clean my scalp. I haven't used oil in my hair in a year. I just use leave-in and a curl aid (kinky curly custard or Uncle funkys daughter). My hair is low-porsity, less breakage, defined curl pattern.. Healthy SUPER moisturized hair💕
Bravo (clapping hands). Great job! I too tried AD's method early on. To cut the drying down, the amount of product needs to be cut down. The way to cut down the amount of product is to steam your hair with a steamer and a deep conditioner. It opens your low porosity hair to accept moisture and product. Biweekly for 30mins or less of steaming will do the trick. It takes about three treatments to see major results that last whereas you can start steaming monthly or every other month. You have beautiful, coily hair. Wash and gos really highlight just how beautiful it is!
I have type 4 hair and had problems doing a successful wash and go in the beginning. The best way to do a wash and go, do everything in the shower. 1. Shampoo in the shower with a non sulfree moisturizing Shampoo. Wash in small sections in a downward motion. 2. Invest in a good deep conditioner. Deep conditioner hair while in the shower while soaking wet in small sections. Finger Detangle while applying and finish each section be doing a 2 strand twist. 3. Put a plastic cap on and sit under a hooded dryer for 30 minutes. The key is to deep condition every week. Rinse with cold water in sections. 4. Separate in sections while soaking wet add leave in conditioner put back in 2 strand twists. When completed with whole head put back on plastic after getting out of the shower. 5. On applying gel, using a gel like Uncle Funky's Daughter Curly Magic, Camille Rose Curl Maker or Eco Styler, something with strong hold. Apply in hair in small sections, the same small sections that you applied the leave in conditioner on. Apply to the hair while it's soaking wet for the best results. If sections start getting dry in the middle of applying, get the spray bottle and re-spray. 5. Once completed, let air dry or sit under a hooded dryer for 30 minutes. If still damp afterwards, diffuse the middle sections of your hair in small sections. Don't touch the ends and it will disturb the curls and cause frizz. The key within type 4 hair, apply all products when hair is soaking wet, deep condition weekly, use non sulfate shampoos moisturizing shampoos. Apply all products in small sections. Look for products that are free of sulfates, silicones, alcohol and or too many chemicals. Invest Black owned hair care lines such as Camille Rose, Uncle Funky's Daughter, Soultanicals, Ecoslay. Read ingredients carefully.
You are determined. GIRL, I have 3bcdefgh, and a smidge of 4a, and I dont even bother. Thankyou lord for twist outs and braidouts. My time and my life are my own again!
I couldn't do this unless I start my hair at 5 in the morning on the hottest day in summer with a laundry list of things to do outside. I hate wet hair. To have wet hair for hours will drive me crazy.
Girl I thought that you were gonna give yourself whiplash 😂 shaking out those beautiful coils! I’m interested to know how you maintained and moisturized during the week with this method.
Using a leave in and water spritz is my new favorite way to keep my wash n go moisturized. You don't want to wet it, just a mist when it feels a little dry
@@arielrose6361 i have resorted to reapplying water a lighter gel and grease during the week so i keep my curls..when i just use water it breaks the gel cast and curls are lost
I started doing wash n gos the end of last year consistently. The first couple of times I tried it, I thought it wasn’t for me, but it was just a process of trial and error. Now I end up using less product and my hair is wayyyy more manageable. I use wetline extreme gel but I want to revisit the kinky curly gel.
This is the method I use for my hair. Honestly I wasn't aware of him until last year and I had been natural for 4 years and never did a wash and go bc it looked so hard. Discovering his method gave me and my hair life lol and yes it does take a lot of product.
I like the AD method, I stopped using gels as they took too long to dry. Curls gel that foams and turns to a mousse dries really quick with the same definition, less product and more moisture. I then go in with an oil when it dries as it softens it more over night. I also wet the hair again after all the products to make sure it dripping wet before I shake it. Using a dryer I get much better results than air drying but I have high porosity hair so I don’t like using a dryer. With gels I struggled with moisture it was always so dry
LaToya Ebony I like the curls range blueberry bliss jelly and I like their goddess curls a little better, when you apply it it turns to a mousse like texture very light but dries with moisture, movement and hold! I’m going try Camille Rose jelly as I like her products 😊 looking forward to more of your videos
I have only ever used this method it never fails me. For starters,once the product is in and you’ve parted it the way you want, don’t touch it before it dries. In the winter, I use a blow dryer without a diffuser and swirl it around until it’s is 50% dry. I use the air to guide the set by blowing it into place. This actually it helps it dry faster, clump together and get volume without me manipulating it too much. If you have used the right amount of product, it won’t frizz either.
I would say that if you're running through a lot of gel, it'd be good to get used to making your own flax seed gel at home, that way you can basically have an unlimited supply. It takes like 2 mins to make. Just make sure to break the gel cast afterwards so your hair can be soft. It' works for a lot of people and it's worth trying so that you don't end up having to buy a new jar of gel each time you want to make this style.
I have been trying everything with my 10 year old and THANK YOU. She really doesn't like to deal with it at this age, I sit down and do at least 1 hour per wash and it dries SO quickly and is INCREDIBLY thick. I'm trying to get her to embrace it more. Thank you again, gonna try this method.
Im sorta new to wash n gos and his method is the first one I learned. It makes the most sense and I like the way my hair responds to all the moisture since you’re wetting your hair so often. Parts of my hair that I didn’t think had a curl actually do with proper hydration. My problem now is the gels. I hate the film, stickiness, and flaking that comes from most I’ve used. once I get that issue solved I’ll feel like I mastered it. Great video!
Okay, so I just discovered your channel, and of course I subscribed. LaToya, you have the BEST-EST personality! I appreciate your humor, your hair, your son, your tips. Thank you for sharing!
I did a wash & go this morning(for the first time) and by the end of the shift mg hair was looking like Florida Evans from Good Times. So I ended up just finishing two strand twist and came for TH-cam for help! I’m gonna try this...on my next OFF day
Yes I recently started transitioning last year and now I’m fully natural I’ve been having a hard time figuring out how to do great wash & go’s for my 4c hair so I am definitely looking forward to your content !
Thank you for showing us how to David’s method. Thank Jesus for you. I now know how to do a no fail Wash and go on 4c hair. Curls are popping and I got hang time. I used ecostyler gel in the red top as my gel. Girl my hair is transformed and looking amazing. And it was soooo easy . Thanks again.
I did this as far back as 1980 when I wore a wash and go (which wasn't all the time). I cowash almost daily and start the styling process on wet hair. I shampoo with a mild shampoo and deep condition every week. Back in the day I simply did what everyone else did and it worked. And then along came curlies saying we should plop and I did that but my wash & go wasn't as good. So i went back to this way and I only stumbled upon AD this year..... Literally saying what I believed since I was 12. I don't struggle with build up cos I shampoo weekly. He doesn't say cut out shampoo altogether. He speaks about using a non foaming shampoo. I use a normal mild shampoo which I also dilute with water or a cheap conditioner or aloe vera. I also don't use heavy products cos I have lopo fine, low density 3b curls. If I find a product is too heavy I simply dilute with water or aloe vera juice or gel or hibiscus water. It also stretches the product and we all know how expensive some products are. I keep my hair short and I have found I need hair trims more often than before reverting to this method of styling. So my hair is growing well.
I can't wait to do this when my hair has grown out more! Thank you for showing us a method that is a lot closer to wash and "go," than previously. I am debating doing the big chop ad I'm only been transitioning since my last relaxer Feb. 1. Yes, our hair is amazing!
My daughter I now do hair mask after shampoo and it's amazing and we skip a shampoo and do just deep condition to detangle and mask then rinse. Been using coil custard moose and gel .... moose or custard order depends on product. Done leave in, oil, custard, moose, gel and get amazing results
I'm going to let you in on a secret. *Whispers* 'I watch your videos because of your bubbly personality, positive spirit, love for your hair and excellent advice.' Anthony Dickey's method has worked wonders for curly-haired women's wash and gos. I have witnessed the results firsthand with friends with predominantly 4C hair. I however, stick to fortnightly wash and gos with hair milks and curling creams and no gel which I don't refresh/remoisturize. On wash day, I only lose the amount of shed hair one expects to lose after only fluffing one's hair each morning (I wear a bonnet) for two weeks. My hair is also Type 4: 4A (with some 3C) but medium porosity which means my hair holds moisture for an extended period. My curl definition lasts until the next wash day and only gets a little frizzy by day 12. You have imparted that we should know our hair, love our hair, accept our hair and do what's best for our hair. I agree 100%. That's what makes your channel so special to me.
😭 That’s was so so beautiful. Thank you for sharing why you watch as well as the valuable first hand knowledge. It warms my heart to know that my message is received well. 💞 Thank you so much for the love and support. *hugs*
It looks great. I watched this because my best friend had 4c and I want to help her with her hair. I don’t see much difference in his method than other curly kinky girls. I do all the same things except I don’t shake because I don’t want to disturb the curls while they’re wet. It looks good and this is how I do my hair. I don’t use as much product but I think if you were doing smaller sections and kept a water bottle you might not use as much product. Ty for sharing!
I've never heard of Anthony Dickey but I've been doing this on my hair for decades. I just went back natural big chop about 4 months ago and my hair is flourishing. Lots of water, lots of leave in and some styling gel. I use Mielle Hawaiian Ginger Styler Gel. Nice soft hold. Your hair is beautiful. ❤
Girl, i called it! I knew it was anthony dickey method! Its my quickest wash&go technique, and i have the best outcome. I can easily do it every 3-4 days bc it is that easy and quick!
I do my hair pretty similar to this. The only difference is that after I've smoothed the gel through all of my hair, before adding more (if I need to) I dip my head back under the water for like a second and it gives the gel more slip so it's easier to rake through my hair.
Glad you tried this. I believe he says to shampoo wash once a week and cowashing the other days. I found him early on in my wash and go attempts🙌🏾. Game changer for me is wetting hair frequently. I do every 3-4 days based on my pattern and right before it gets dry. And yes, hooded dyer would be better- without touching. The hooded dryer made my shape much better.
Yesterday I did a wash n go after straying away from them for almost a month and now I feel like I should have watched this video first! Definitely gonna try this method next time I do it!
Love your energy; I tried this twice and love it. I have 4c hair and thought the only way to manage it was to keep it short. I am currently working from home during the Covid-19 and decided to give it a shot. I am pleasantly surprised and wish I had known about this earlier in my natural hair journey. I tried two different types of gels and found the one Ms. Fro likes the best. Thank you for sharing and I look forward to more videos from you.
Oh wow! Oh wow! This worked wonders and magic on my 4c hair. I cannot believe how soft and defined my curl pattern is and very moisturized. Yes it took forever to dry but I’m on day 2 and all I can say is wow! My hair is still moisturized and bouncy on day 2 and after spending some time in the sun. I hope that this will continue to be my go to because I’m all about simple. Thank you so much for sharing.
Your hair looks so good! I don't how you air dry. I can't stand the drip drops all day. I usually sit under a hooded dryer and then stretch the roots with a blow dryer for a little more elongation.
@V Parker I sit under a hooded dryer for an hour max. I can’t take any longer than that. Then I take about 10 minutes to stretch my roots with a blow dryer
I have been doing the Anthony Dickey method and attempting to perfect for he last few months I love it. I started washing everyday no I make it last about 4 days
Edit: YASSSSSSS! This was a Beautiful style! I especially love the shaking part of this method, watching and doing myself. I believe this is the BEST method for a WNG, especially the fact that's it's all done in the shower. Your hair is beautiful, and I look forward to the next video, sis! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 So excited to watch this video (later, unfortunately)!
Thank you Nandi!! So far I agree. This method is so much easier and I get to leave the shower with my hair finished! I’m curious how it will hold up this week, though! I’ll keep you updated!
Aunt Jackie’s Don’t Shrink gel does work!!! I use it most of the time and I’m really impressed and I’m glad it doesn’t make my hair shrink up like a poodle with tightly coiled hair!!! However, using a little bit goes a long way as the gel will cause flakes when dry.
YAAASS! Definitely make sure to put on like a pound of product. 😂 I feel like I wouldn’t have gotten so much definition without it. I’m excited for you!!
New subscriber over here! I big chopped recently and I've been binging on all your videos... So much useful content and I love what you stand for.. Keep it up!!!
HEEEY! 👋🏾 Welcome to my channel! I’m happy to have you. 😊 Since you’re new, my playlists are a great place to start if you have any questions. Thanks again for the support! 💕
I have the exact same hair texture as yours and I had attempted a wash and go this morning and then found this video haha My hair dried and shrunk 50% but after 9 hours my roots are still damp lololol But this was my most successful wash and go
I was keeping my hair in braids almost always and would feel my skin scalp pain during and after. I did my braids alone spend hours, sooo tiring. Am deciding to grow my hair without any extensions and wash often. I would wash once a month
I usually don't like to do wash n go because of the next day results. When you did yours I am definitely going to try it. Thanks, stay safe, and God bless.
Brother Dickey says the beauty of this technique is that you can do this daily. When I do this I don't use tons of styler or any unless I really need hold.
Wow! Your hair turned out amazing. I cant wait until my hair grows this long. Thank you for demonstrating ALL the steps. Your a lot different than most video bloggers!
Hi latoya! I am a 14 girl that is new to the natural community.. your videos has helped me a lot to understand what I need to know about my 4c hair. I am struggling to find out what products I need to use on my hair because it is sooo dry. The shampoo and conditioner I have is cantu, I'm not sure if it fits my hair type. When I use cantu conditioner/shampoo, it curls my hair when its wet. I don't know how to deal with shrinkage and I get frustrated because of it. My mother doesn't agree with natural hair because she doesn't really have the patience for curly, kinky hair. She used to have healthy long, curly hair that touched her bum but she had hers professionally done. So that gives me an idea on why she doesn't really know how to take care of my hair. My cousin encouraged me to go natural because her 3c hair is beautiful, but I was kind of upset to see I didn't have her hair type but again she is mixed :/. I sort of feel lost because my two aunts have relaxed her, but my other aunt is natural but gets hers professionally done. And my cousin literally just needs water and gel because shes mixed. My aunt that braids my hair kinda doesn't help because all she can say is my hair is nappy and I need to comb it more. Help is needed xD

When she said “I have a meeting in like 30 minutes” I felt stressed for her 😭😭
💀 🤣
I’m so lazy I can’t imagine washing my 4c hair every 2-3 days. I barely wash every two weeks lol
Laughs in once a month 🤣
Facts. My forearms had PTSD when she even mentioned that often.
I’m no better...6-8 weeks over here
I wash every two wks. I would love to more but idk!! Lol
ikr
I can't get over the fact that her hair has my name 😂😂
🤣🤣
🤣 💀💀💀💀💀
I. Can’t. Stop. Laughing! 🤣🤣🤣
Nothing wrong with a good Sheryl day. Sheryl has gotten me through quarantine! 💁🏾♀️

Ohhh my gosh, me too!! Been watching her for years and she's great!!

I love Anthony Dickeys method! He's my stylist and has helped me nourish and grow my natural 4c hair. It's the true definition of wash-&-go and easily done in the shower.
Sentia Weche Really? 9 or 10 years ago, he questioned why I even wanted to be natural! That really turned me off! I spent $$$ in that salon and did not like the results.
That is instructive. He may have changed his tune since then, but I haven't seen many dissenting voices on videos about him and his method. Thanks for commenting honestly!
@@ladylightseeker it sounds like he’s changed his tune and is now focused on helping naturals thrive - and frankly, I’m always here for people growing and moving to a higher vibration😃🎉👍🏾
@@ladylightseeker that sucks now i gotta side eye him for wanting to all of a sudden be a natural hair guru because its trendy now
I have finally accepted my hair especially in its shrunken state, and I'm loving it so much 😍
😊❤️❤️❤️
I do this everyday with less products for less drying time like I don’t use gel on a daily or sometimes no creams and my hair dries in a couple hours. When I say this has changed my life. My life no longer revolves around hair especially having a child I need to not think about my hair anymore. It’s so liberating doing my hair in the shower for 10-15 min and going because I really need to go when your child is small and getting into everything. I don’t do anything else anymore just wash and gos. I literally have no time to protective style or twist out or anything. Here’s another tip because I started running through sooo much conditioner I switched to cheaper conditioner instead of those natural ones that break the bank and the cheap ones feel no different from the expensive ones. Now I’m spending less time and money 💰 💃
I'm curious, what are your hair characteristics? I would love to do my hair everyday, but I have Thick type 4, medium porosity hair. I feel like medium porosity hair is like being a unicorn...nobody talks about it or seems to have it. Do you go for a less defined look or does that not matter in comparison to the time commitment to achieve definition. I'm busy so I usually style my hair in a twist out and keep it for a week or two. I don't have to re-moisture/twist because I use the banding/small pineapple overnight method and have finally found products/technique that work for my hair. I have a lot of products to work through for WnG's but I don't like my hair to get dry since that causes longer wash days and leads to breakage.
Carol Washington yeah I don’t try to go for the defined look like loads of gel and cream. That in my opinion takes way too long. I personally I accept my very natural state true to its name. I think with wash and gos you have to embrace your natural hair to really like it or you will be caught in a world where your chasing a curl type. I even see people with looser hair want tighter curls so everyone has this issue. I’m not sure what is my porosity but I think it’s low porosity. I pretty much stopped doing what youtubers do and just mostly focus on water and conditioner daily. This worked a ton. I don’t hair type but my hair is curly kinky. The hair typing doesn’t help me out anymore because all those charts said not to do wash and gos and stick to protective styles. And when I listened it kind of worked but my hair was always dry and tangly. So I wanted to have moisturized hair and it’s okay if it wasn’t super long because shrinkage doesn’t let people know or defined. I just finally started to accept my hair the way it was.
This is so helpful. Thank you!!!
@@soraya.e5482Absolutely, I feel the exact same way. I'm using products that are not putting holes in my wallet, yet does the job. You're absolutely right, the whole point of wearing natural hair was to embrace our hair no matter what type it is. But that seems to be changing now. I embrace my natural hair as it is also and stick with the products that work for my hair. You don't have to break the bank to wash, moisturize, detangle, and style your hair. I watched a stylist the other day, and he said he doesn't do the hair typing anymore because some people get offended when he used to tell them their hair type. Like you and LaToya said embrace your coils and curls.
I have been trying to tell people that kinky, coily hair is the absolute BEST!!! It’s seriously magical !!!!!😳
It's taken me damn-near 25 years to really become aware of it's diverse styling potential: can do dread's, platts, cornrows, twists (twists are another option, aren't they?), this wash 'n' go stuff I've only just learned about today, my go-to for about the last 8 years😅 which is just combin' it out with an afro-comb (on a regular so that the hair doesn't tangle 'n' punish me too hard), brushing with a hard brush, sponging, I know usually men can buzz it, get waves - other wise it can all just be shaved clean off; and all of this is just about with in the realm of natural hair-care ONLY (as far as I'm aware)
It's beautiful as well
I’m telling you, Anthony Dickey absolutely changed my hair-life! I thought doing it every day - every 3 days was way too much at first but I was wrong and my hair feels SO much healthier, moisturized and it’s now so much quicker to do now that I do it consistently. The whole process takes me 30-40 minutes (including my shower). 40minutes is when I shampoo once a week. It feels more natural, in that I can hop in the shower and feel all over refreshed and not be doing all these little baby sections like you said!
Seem worth it. Heck we twist every other day, and for my hair thickness it's an hour.
Def worth it to me
Same in the summer time it’s super easy and I noticed that because my hair never dried out it my tangles reduced so I can do it in about 10min
How long does it take for your hair to dry
This method actually seems to be the true definition of a wash no go. You really are largely done in the show.
you look just like Essence Atkins when during her days on Smart Guy!
Omg Yes!
True
And sounds like her too!
Definitely the look and the voice!
Just more ghetto
The more you wash and condition your hair as a natural the easier your hair is to deal with. It makes sense. If your hair isn't rehydrated and detangled regularly it's going to be a mess to deal with. A lot of black women balk at this but don't try it to see the results. It's the #1 thing that will transform your hair and what's not to like about fresh clean hair more often.
no one balked. We see the sense in it.
But is it sustainable? That is the question.
I’d be physically exhausted if I had to wash my hair every 2-3 days honestly lol
The Dickey Method is literally 2-3 minutes for me. I do it daily in my morning shower.
I love it. My hair grew supppper fast 😩
@s w Ain't nothing wrong with that lol I pray for my hair everyday and it gets healthier everyday XD Thank you Jesus
The more often you wash your hair, the less of a deal it is IMO. It doesn't take me forever, maybe 10 minutes.
It takes only 15 minutes then maybe 15-20 minutes to blow dry. That then lasts two days.
Girl you brave soul....a meeting on the same day as a wash go!!! Yess our hair takes alot of water and product to capture and lock those curls in place!!!Lol it came out beautifully!!!
Thank you Mel! At first I felt like I added too much, but the results don’t lie! LOL
Beautiful hair, sis. Only recommendations: 1st. Let the conditioner sit on the hair for a few minutes until the hair starts to hang lower than it was when the conditioner was put into the hair. I use Suave conditioner that you can get for one dollar at Dollar Tree or at WalMart. I use 1/3 of a bottle. You have to SATURATE your hair with conditioner. Once your hair "relaxes," then wash it out. 90% of it out. I usually do my hair, add the conditioner and then shower. By the time my bathing ritual is over, my hair is ready for the next step. 2nd Seconds after my hair was under the shower faucet with water coming down on me, I add in my stylers. Seconds. I don't do sections. I just put it all over. Back. Front. Sides. I do pul up sections of hair here and there to add thee styler, but nothing like what you did. That was a lot of work. 3rd Then, I run my hair very quickly under the shower again and then I shake. Water. lots of it and Conditioner. Lots of it. Are the key to this. I then blow dry. Takes less than 20 minutes with my Dyson Diffuser. And I'm on my way.
🙌🏾
Game changer. Thanks for all the steps recommended!
The minute you mentioned you had a meeting in 30, I was on tenterhooks with worry that you wouldn’t make it on time 😂
😂😭 I made it though!!! I seriously don’t know how. It was a web meeting so at least I could go without much effort outside of putting clothes on. 😅
I was wondering the same thing. Lol
Depending on shrinkage you can band your hair at night and pick it out in the morning. Or blue dry your hair on cool air focusing on the roots to give it shape
I was thinking the same thing! Thank you!
I have 75 to 80% shrinkage. I am going to attempt a wash and go tonight. I have my conditioner, moisturizer, and gel. I'm going to do everything LaToya did. Would you recommend the banding method to stretch out my hair?
Yeah...a hood dryer would be a great investment. An overnight wash n go also helps with dry time.
I wish more new type 4 naturals would start with AD’s method when trying to master their wash n go. It’s a great starting point for learning how much water and product your hair actually need on a regular basis. Not just for this style, but for healthy hair in general. After using this method for a few weeks, I got a lot of perspective on my hair and it became so used to the water, I used less and less product as time went on.
Edit: I have not abandoned shampoo. And, honestly, neither has Dickey. Since so many people ask him questions about wash n gos and dryness-many of his videos heavily emphasize co-washing, but he’s aware shampoo is necessary for a healthy scalp. The overall message I’ve gotten from his channel is that our hair needs more conditioner than it does shampoo, which is the type of regimen my hair has always liked.
Denysha Taylor I love what you said. I wish more type 4s would start with AD‘s method to master the wash and go. Yes! I binged all his videos. The reason I got there, is because everyone told me the twist out was where I needed to be and I absolutely hated them. He’s the one who told me if I was to do a twist out, it needed to be on dry stretched hair not wet hair. What?!? Ever since then I’ve been in love with his advice.
👏🏾👏🏾 Yes!! He mentioned shampoo maybe once a week, but conditioner washes in between. I agree!
I’m still pretty new at WaGs but I’m a strange way I’m happy I started the hard way. Now I’m able to appreciate as good thing when I see it. His method ROCKS! I wonder if there are other methods I could try. At this point I’m just playing around 😂
I always appreciate your thoughtful comments. I love what you said about adjusting with water and product as you continue to experiment. Also the clarification on the use of shampoo. I’m pinning your comment! 💕
PS: Yes. A hooded dryer or at least a blowdryer diffuser attachment would be a great investment at this point. 🙌🏾
Yes AD does mention to co wash between shampoos to retain moisture. For everyone shampoo time frames are different
LaToya Ebony
Oh you’re so sweet ☺️❤️ I’m always happy to help!
Girl, ive been in love with this method for forever. When you posted the teaser pic i guessed right, bc that method be giving me the best wash&go results, periodt. Im a college student so i cant afford a standing cap dryer, but i spent $20 on the cloth dryer attachments that you can get, and it works fine for me. You can get them for as cheap as 7-10 dollars. Hopefully that helps!
Love this method. It was game changing for me. I add grease before the styler and my hair stays soft and moisturized for days
I use grease on my twists. It really is a game changer
What kind of grease may I ask?
I actually did a consultation with Dickey himself where he walked me through the steps, as in he stopped what he was saying had me SOAK MY HAIR. The method works but the drying time was UNREAL! Perhaps I'll try it again but I'm in nobody's rush ... much like my hair when drenched with water and gel.
I let my hair dry throughout the day (i do it in the morning). I clip my bangs down, and just go about my day. If i do it at night, i have one of those cloth dryer caps that you attatch to a blowdrier. I use that, dry like 70-80% and it dry the rest of the way while im sleeping. Maybe that may be able to help you in the future
@@Limitedonathios :: good idea; thanks for sharing! My hair isn't quite the length nor cut that I trust to just dry and look presentable as it goes. 🤷🏾♀️ I'll have to give this a try once I grow her out a bit more.
YES!! I’ll probably mention drying time more in the update. It’s takes a LONG time. For me, a sit under dryer or blowdryer is definitely needed. Thank you for sharing!
Great tips! Thank you Amy for helping her out. That was really sweet of you. I love it!
@@LaToyaEbonyHair yes of course yall! We gotta support eachother in this journey
Subscribed for the statement “if your hair doesn’t look like mine that’s okay. There’s nothing wrong with your hair” like yess ENERGY
❤️❤️❤️ I gotta let my Queens know!!
Definitely want to see how u maintain throughout the week - I debate on whether to just sleep with a bonnet or stretch with hair scurchies/ hair bands in 4-5 sections
Ooo that’s something specific I can pinpoint to talk about. Thank you!! 💛
I used to use this technique when my hair was shorter and filmed it on my channel. It's video numb 42 if you want to check it out. I used to use scrunchies at night.
HereDianna thanks! I’ll check it out!
Definitely want to see how you maintain. I just sleep on satin pillowcase, no stretching and have minimal shrinking. Actually like day 2 shape better but I’ve never been about stretching my hair. Once I mist and claw it out a bit, it’s good to go - basically bounces back lol
You are such a joy to watch and very informative! I have been wearing my 4C low porosity natural hair for 5 years now but I've never done my own hair! I had a standing 2 week appointment with my stylist for the last 15 years!
Life after "Rona" has caused me to do things differently! You've got me excited about caring for my natural hair myself! Keep the videos coming! Stay healthy and encouraged Young Queen!
Every two weeks for 15 YEARS!! Wow, that’s so impressive! The funny thing is, I don’t have the patience for the salon, but I’ll do it myself. 😂 I’m backwards.
It makes me so happy to hear that. Rona has rocked the boat in so many ways. I love that I can help you feel empowered (in a small way) to do it yourself. 🙈 Your hairdresser might be mad at me! 😂
@@LaToyaEbonyHair EMPOWERED is exactly how I feel and my stylist...She'll be good as long as I don't post it to my social media! 😬🤣
I did my first wash n go back in January, and the amount of PEOPLE telling me how pretty it was, and how it wasn't 4c or how they would never be able to ACHIEVE this. It made me so sad-
but they also got disappointed when I said I had in sit in the shower the WHOLE time . just to do it, and use a LOT of products to get it to show my texture.
Thank you so much for sharing your hair. Its so amazing to be staring at a genuine reflection of my hair (been natural for 5-6 yrs now), your hair is so beautiful! Its absolutely stunning and I am so excited to see where your journey takes us!!
If I could recommend a product line (i'm new to the channel so forgive me if you've already tried it) but i've been obsessed with TGIN for a minute now, specifically their 'Butter Cream Daily Moisturizer' - and Miss Jessie's 'Leave in Condish', like so obsessed; I've been using it for 2-3 years with insane results. (I would also recommend TGIN's (Thank God It's Natural's) 'Protein treatment'. Girl. Girl- GIRL!!!
You brought up the maximum hydration method and I want to tell YOU GIRL!!
The ' Miracle RepairRx CPR Protein treatment' is everything to me right now. Frizz, split ends (more so mean when our hair coils aggressively around its self not healthy)(Sidenote: I would recommend getting it as a bundle, with its Conditioner, The conditioner that is made for it is honestly reallllllly nice and I try not to use too much of it because of how nice it makes my hair feel; I save it for if my hair REALLY needs it but its an amazing conditioner), the feeling of my hair not absorbing water, or absorbing LESS water. All those things disappeared- Now my hairs identical to yours tbh. (My Hair used to be very very dry) No pressure just giving some brands to try out (Texture ID is also one I used to use, I still use their '3x Moisturizing Cream Conditioner'(to prepoo and de-tangle) and 'Styling Creme' but I don't get as much of an impact from my hair with it (it's a good moisturizer but doesn't define my hair, I usually put the TGIN cream first(L.C.O) and use the Creme from TD to style strictly, during the winter or if I feel like my hairs been dry recently). It may be the Biotin + Vitamin E which i appreciate.)
(sorry for the rant, one more thing) TGIN Changed the formula for its protein treatment so if you find it, and it doesn't say CPR it may be the older one (which was my original love, but tbh them taking out the coconut oil(or butter or shea I can't remember at the moment) and swapping for Black Castor oil and Biotin has been a genuine game changer, before I'd use it maybe every 1-2 months; now I can stretch it to 3 maybe 4 if I want to save the product. And no you don't need to follow instructions and use half of the jar. You'll be able to tell if each section is thoroughly coated. It makes the hair (when applied) feel like jello)
I hope all of this info helps in some way! Sending love your way and thank you so much again for everything you're doing!! 🥰💕
(Should probably add that I've been using the TGIN protein treatment since the beginning of COVID, Highly recommend, if nothing else)
your words are so encouraging: love your own hair. that's what I got out of this video.
🥰💕💕💕💕
I have been using his method for a year. My hair has grown and flourished. I can't live without co-washing through the week and resetting with a shampoo at the end. To clean my scalp. I haven't used oil in my hair in a year. I just use leave-in and a curl aid (kinky curly custard or Uncle funkys daughter). My hair is low-porsity, less breakage, defined curl pattern.. Healthy SUPER moisturized hair💕
Bravo (clapping hands). Great job! I too tried AD's method early on. To cut the drying down, the amount of product needs to be cut down. The way to cut down the amount of product is to steam your hair with a steamer and a deep conditioner. It opens your low porosity hair to accept moisture and product. Biweekly for 30mins or less of steaming will do the trick. It takes about three treatments to see major results that last whereas you can start steaming monthly or every other month. You have beautiful, coily hair. Wash and gos really highlight just how beautiful it is!
I have type 4 hair and had problems doing a successful wash and go in the beginning. The best way to do a wash and go, do everything in the shower.
1. Shampoo in the shower with a non sulfree moisturizing Shampoo. Wash in small sections in a downward motion.
2. Invest in a good deep conditioner.
Deep conditioner hair while in the shower while soaking wet in small sections. Finger Detangle while applying and finish each section be doing a 2 strand twist. 3. Put a plastic cap on and sit under a hooded dryer for 30 minutes. The key is to deep condition every week. Rinse with cold water in sections. 4. Separate in sections while soaking wet add leave in conditioner put back in 2 strand twists.
When completed with whole head put back on plastic after getting out of the shower. 5. On applying gel, using a gel like Uncle Funky's Daughter Curly Magic, Camille Rose Curl Maker or Eco Styler, something with strong hold. Apply in hair in small sections, the same small sections that you applied the leave in conditioner on. Apply to the hair while it's soaking wet for the best results. If sections start getting dry in the middle of applying, get the spray bottle and re-spray. 5. Once completed, let air dry or sit under a hooded dryer for 30 minutes.
If still damp afterwards, diffuse the middle sections of your hair in small sections. Don't touch the ends and it will disturb the curls and cause frizz. The key within type 4 hair, apply all products when hair is soaking wet, deep condition weekly, use non sulfate shampoos moisturizing shampoos. Apply all products in small sections. Look for products that are free of sulfates, silicones, alcohol and or too many chemicals. Invest Black owned hair care lines such as Camille Rose, Uncle Funky's Daughter, Soultanicals, Ecoslay.
Read ingredients carefully.
The Anthony Dickey method was a game changer for me.. my hair has absolutely flourished and not to mention the amount of time ive saved doing my hair
You are determined. GIRL, I have 3bcdefgh, and a smidge of 4a, and I dont even bother. Thankyou lord for twist outs and braidouts. My time and my life are my own again!
I couldn't do this unless I start my hair at 5 in the morning on the hottest day in summer with a laundry list of things to do outside. I hate wet hair. To have wet hair for hours will drive me crazy.
Girl I thought that you were gonna give yourself whiplash 😂 shaking out those beautiful coils! I’m interested to know how you maintained and moisturized during the week with this method.
I’m over here trying to work it out! Wash n gos have such a learning curve (for me) I’m happy to share my experience, though! ☺️
😂
Using a leave in and water spritz is my new favorite way to keep my wash n go moisturized. You don't want to wet it, just a mist when it feels a little dry
@@arielrose6361 i have resorted to reapplying water a lighter gel and grease during the week so i keep my curls..when i just use water it breaks the gel cast and curls are lost
@@LaToyaEbonyHair wetline gel for men with scurl activator underneath is the only combo working for me
I started doing wash n gos the end of last year consistently. The first couple of times I tried it, I thought it wasn’t for me, but it was just a process of trial and error. Now I end up using less product and my hair is wayyyy more manageable. I use wetline extreme gel but I want to revisit the kinky curly gel.
This is the method I use for my hair. Honestly I wasn't aware of him until last year and I had been natural for 4 years and never did a wash and go bc it looked so hard. Discovering his method gave me and my hair life lol and yes it does take a lot of product.
YES!! I’m so glad I gave it a shot too. It’s SO much better!!
I like the AD method, I stopped using gels as they took too long to dry. Curls gel that foams and turns to a mousse dries really quick with the same definition, less product and more moisture. I then go in with an oil when it dries as it softens it more over night. I also wet the hair again after all the products to make sure it dripping wet before I shake it. Using a dryer I get much better results than air drying but I have high porosity hair so I don’t like using a dryer. With gels I struggled with moisture it was always so dry
Thank you for sharing! What gel/mouse do you use? This gel takes forever to dry and it does get dry by day 2.
LaToya Ebony I like the curls range blueberry bliss jelly and I like their goddess curls a little better, when you apply it it turns to a mousse like texture very light but dries with moisture, movement and hold! I’m going try Camille Rose jelly as I like her products 😊 looking forward to more of your videos
@@Designsbytatty I would like to try this. Is your hair mainly "4c"?
I have only ever used this method it never fails me. For starters,once the product is in and you’ve parted it the way you want, don’t touch it before it dries. In the winter, I use a blow dryer without a diffuser and swirl it around until it’s is 50% dry. I use the air to guide the set by blowing it into place. This actually it helps it dry faster, clump together and get volume without me manipulating it too much. If you have used the right amount of product, it won’t frizz either.
That's the same video I saw by accident that TOTALLY changed my hair!!!! Amazing what such a small difference makes. Now, I love my hair ❤❤
I would say that if you're running through a lot of gel, it'd be good to get used to making your own flax seed gel at home, that way you can basically have an unlimited supply. It takes like 2 mins to make. Just make sure to break the gel cast afterwards so your hair can be soft. It' works for a lot of people and it's worth trying so that you don't end up having to buy a new jar of gel each time you want to make this style.
I started smiling as soon as you started talking. Love your energy! Oh and love the information here. I shall subscribe and like.
I have been trying everything with my 10 year old and THANK YOU. She really doesn't like to deal with it at this age, I sit down and do at least 1 hour per wash and it dries SO quickly and is INCREDIBLY thick. I'm trying to get her to embrace it more. Thank you again, gonna try this method.
Love your honesty about time and gentleness of doing each and every strand....
Im sorta new to wash n gos and his method is the first one I learned. It makes the most sense and I like the way my hair responds to all the moisture since you’re wetting your hair so often. Parts of my hair that I didn’t think had a curl actually do with proper hydration. My problem now is the gels. I hate the film, stickiness, and flaking that comes from most I’ve used. once I get that issue solved I’ll feel like I mastered it. Great video!
We learned that we need to start this at 4am😂😂😂😂
😂😂
I used to do this method, and the results were great but it does take forever to air dry unless you are out in the sun.
Okay, so I just discovered your channel, and of course I subscribed. LaToya, you have the BEST-EST personality! I appreciate your humor, your hair, your son, your tips. Thank you for sharing!
I did a wash & go this morning(for the first time) and by the end of the shift mg hair was looking like Florida Evans from Good Times. So I ended up just finishing two strand twist and came for TH-cam for help! I’m gonna try this...on my next OFF day
I tried to do a wng with just aloe Vera the same day I big chopped. By the time my dad came home from work, he said I looked just like Pam Grier ☺️.
Denysha Taylor well at least she has some bounce to hers lol
ageofreason91
Not necessarily. Same hair, different lengths lol
Yes I recently started transitioning last year and now I’m fully natural I’ve been having a hard time figuring out how to do great wash & go’s for my 4c hair so I am definitely looking forward to your content !
Thank you for showing us how to David’s method. Thank Jesus for you. I now know how to do a no fail Wash and go on 4c hair. Curls are popping and I got hang time. I used ecostyler gel in the red top as my gel. Girl my hair is transformed and looking amazing. And it was soooo easy . Thanks again.
I did this as far back as 1980 when I wore a wash and go (which wasn't all the time). I cowash almost daily and start the styling process on wet hair. I shampoo with a mild shampoo and deep condition every week. Back in the day I simply did what everyone else did and it worked. And then along came curlies saying we should plop and I did that but my wash & go wasn't as good. So i went back to this way and I only stumbled upon AD this year..... Literally saying what I believed since I was 12.
I don't struggle with build up cos I shampoo weekly. He doesn't say cut out shampoo altogether. He speaks about using a non foaming shampoo. I use a normal mild shampoo which I also dilute with water or a cheap conditioner or aloe vera. I also don't use heavy products cos I have lopo fine, low density 3b curls. If I find a product is too heavy I simply dilute with water or aloe vera juice or gel or hibiscus water. It also stretches the product and we all know how expensive some products are. I keep my hair short and I have found I need hair trims more often than before reverting to this method of styling. So my hair is growing well.
I can't wait to see how long it lasts. I'm also 4C low porosity. You may have opened up a whole new world!
I can't wait to do this when my hair has grown out more! Thank you for showing us a method that is a lot closer to wash and "go," than previously. I am debating doing the big chop ad I'm only been transitioning since my last relaxer Feb. 1. Yes, our hair is amazing!
My daughter I now do hair mask after shampoo and it's amazing and we skip a shampoo and do just deep condition to detangle and mask then rinse. Been using coil custard moose and gel .... moose or custard order depends on product. Done leave in, oil, custard, moose, gel and get amazing results
Yes our hair is INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! love the verse ability
She also reminds me of essence Atkins…I agree with everyone else below as well. A mix of tia and tamera and essence atkins! So beautiful!!
I’m a type 4 coily who does nothing but wash & go’s. Yours turned out great!
I'm going to let you in on a secret. *Whispers* 'I watch your videos because of your bubbly personality, positive spirit, love for your hair and excellent advice.' Anthony Dickey's method has worked wonders for curly-haired women's wash and gos. I have witnessed the results firsthand with friends with predominantly 4C hair. I however, stick to fortnightly wash and gos with hair milks and curling creams and no gel which I don't refresh/remoisturize. On wash day, I only lose the amount of shed hair one expects to lose after only fluffing one's hair each morning (I wear a bonnet) for two weeks. My hair is also Type 4: 4A (with some 3C) but medium porosity which means my hair holds moisture for an extended period. My curl definition lasts until the next wash day and only gets a little frizzy by day 12. You have imparted that we should know our hair, love our hair, accept our hair and do what's best for our hair. I agree 100%. That's what makes your channel so special to me.
😭 That’s was so so beautiful. Thank you for sharing why you watch as well as the valuable first hand knowledge. It warms my heart to know that my message is received well. 💞 Thank you so much for the love and support. *hugs*
"I'm not different, I'm not a unicorn." cracked me out. Loved watching this.
🦄 🤣
It looks great. I watched this because my best friend had 4c and I want to help her with her hair. I don’t see much difference in his method than other curly kinky girls. I do all the same things except I don’t shake because I don’t want to disturb the curls while they’re wet. It looks good and this is how I do my hair. I don’t use as much product but I think if you were doing smaller sections and kept a water bottle you might not use as much product. Ty for sharing!
I've never heard of Anthony Dickey but I've been doing this on my hair for decades. I just went back natural big chop about 4 months ago and my hair is flourishing. Lots of water, lots of leave in and some styling gel. I use Mielle Hawaiian Ginger Styler Gel. Nice soft hold. Your hair is beautiful. ❤
Today was my first successful w&g after 3 years of natural. Thanks to Anthony Dickey. I've tried before but seemed to be more steps then. Now, Wow!
👏🏾
Girl, i called it! I knew it was anthony dickey method! Its my quickest wash&go technique, and i have the best outcome. I can easily do it every 3-4 days bc it is that easy and quick!
How do you maintain it when you go to sleep? (My big chop was in March, I'm still a little lost)
Her hair isn't 4c
I do my hair pretty similar to this. The only difference is that after I've smoothed the gel through all of my hair, before adding more (if I need to) I dip my head back under the water for like a second and it gives the gel more slip so it's easier to rake through my hair.
Glad you tried this. I believe he says to shampoo wash once a week and cowashing the other days. I found him early on in my wash and go attempts🙌🏾. Game changer for me is wetting hair frequently. I do every 3-4 days based on my pattern and right before it gets dry. And yes, hooded dyer would be better- without touching. The hooded dryer made my shape much better.
Such great tips!!! Thank you so much!! ❤️
Yeah hoodef dryer sets it nice
Do you detangle each time you wet it?
Yesterday I did a wash n go after straying away from them for almost a month and now I feel like I should have watched this video first! Definitely gonna try this method next time I do it!
Naomi, I LOVE the shower method. I can’t go back now 😂
Love your energy; I tried this twice and love it. I have 4c hair and thought the only way to manage it was to keep it short. I am currently working from home during the Covid-19 and decided to give it a shot. I am pleasantly surprised and wish I had known about this earlier in my natural hair journey. I tried two different types of gels and found the one Ms. Fro likes the best. Thank you for sharing and I look forward to more videos from you.
Okay now I'm ready to try wash n go. This is the perfect time since I haven't gone back to work yet so if I mess up who cares
Oh wow! Oh wow! This worked wonders and magic on my 4c hair. I cannot believe how soft and defined my curl pattern is and very moisturized. Yes it took forever to dry but I’m on day 2 and all I can say is wow! My hair is still moisturized and bouncy on day 2 and after spending some time in the sun. I hope that this will continue to be my go to because I’m all about simple. Thank you so much for sharing.
First 30 seconds of anything I have seen your page and I’m subscribing - the energy!
Your hair looks so good! I don't how you air dry. I can't stand the drip drops all day. I usually sit under a hooded dryer and then stretch the roots with a blow dryer for a little more elongation.
I’m high porosity my hair would dry in a 1-2hrs when I air dry
@@AfroTae I'm low porosity so my hair takes over a day sometimes two days to dry.
@4everInTheClouds how long does it take total for sitting under your dryer and then stretching out the roots?
@@4everInTheClouds SAME 😭
@V Parker I sit under a hooded dryer for an hour max. I can’t take any longer than that. Then I take about 10 minutes to stretch my roots with a blow dryer
I have been doing the Anthony Dickey method and attempting to perfect for he last few months I love it. I started washing everyday no I make it last about 4 days
This was fab and funny in equal parts.
🥰🥰 Thank you so much!! 💕
Giirrrrlllll I looove your energy...also yes am family I've been in that shower severaly ☺
HEEEY FAM!! 🤣 You all have literally been in the shower with me all month. 😂😂
Edit: YASSSSSSS! This was a Beautiful style! I especially love the shaking part of this method, watching and doing myself. I believe this is the BEST method for a WNG, especially the fact that's it's all done in the shower. Your hair is beautiful, and I look forward to the next video, sis!
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 So excited to watch this video (later, unfortunately)!
Thank you Nandi!! So far I agree. This method is so much easier and I get to leave the shower with my hair finished! I’m curious how it will hold up this week, though! I’ll keep you updated!
8:27 "Isn't it incredible what our hair can do?"
I ask myself this every time
OMG I can't wait to try this....but I want to say you are sooooo entertaining and fun to me! I'm going to try this...Wish me luck!
Omg girl I love your video! Your personality is amazing and how you explained everything was so easy for me thanks for educating us
Thank you! ❤️
Aunt Jackie’s Don’t Shrink gel does work!!! I use it most of the time and I’m really impressed and I’m glad it doesn’t make my hair shrink up like a poodle with tightly coiled hair!!! However, using a little bit goes a long way as the gel will cause flakes when dry.
You’re hair looks so Beautiful !! That Definition yassss !! You’ve convinced me to try this method, I’m excited to see the results
YAAASS! Definitely make sure to put on like a pound of product. 😂 I feel like I wouldn’t have gotten so much definition without it. I’m excited for you!!
LaToya Ebony lol I’ll be extra heavy handed😂 thank you so much 💕
😂 I’m still cringing at the amount of product, buuuuuuut the results don’t lie!
I have been doing wash n go’s this whole time and didn’t know💀
Lol, how’s your hair?
What method do you usually use? This is so interesting!
Gabby, i have short type 4 hair i big chopped some months ago and well my hair is nice😂😂
LaToya Ebony i honestly just wash my hair moisturize gel and go i didn’t realize it had a name im a new natural so your video really helped thank you!
yeah same for the last 5ish years, not as much detangling. Me and my bf always called it "classic rue" hairstyle.
Nice video. Great enthusiasm about our beautiful hair.
Job well done I love it
love the little bits like "white bulbs" means shedding...Ohhhhhhhhh
Yes! I always try to add some kind of hair science 🤓 I’m glad I could help you learn something new. 😊 #nerdcore
Thanx so much for reminding us to love and embrace our hair no matter how different or similar it is. HAIR BEAUTY COMES IN MANY TYPES!!!
Thank you for introducing me to Mr. Dickey. I never heard of him but I did see a picture of him and his product featured in Essence.
Your curls look so beautiful😍❤️❤️. You inspire me to love my 4c hair
👑 👑👑 Your hair is beautiful. 💕
New subscriber over here! I big chopped recently and I've been binging on all your videos... So much useful content and I love what you stand for.. Keep it up!!!
HEEEY! 👋🏾 Welcome to my channel! I’m happy to have you. 😊 Since you’re new, my playlists are a great place to start if you have any questions. Thanks again for the support! 💕
I have the exact same hair texture as yours and I had attempted a wash and go this morning and then found this video haha My hair dried and shrunk 50% but after 9 hours my roots are still damp lololol But this was my most successful wash and go
I was keeping my hair in braids almost always and would feel my skin scalp pain during and after.
I did my braids alone spend hours, sooo tiring.
Am deciding to grow my hair without any extensions and wash often.
I would wash once a month
Your hair is so lush! This wash n go was a complete success. Thanks for sharing ❤️
I usually don't like to do wash n go because of the next day results. When you did yours I am definitely going to try it. Thanks, stay safe, and God bless.
Brother Dickey says the beauty of this technique is that you can do this daily. When I do this I don't use tons of styler or any unless I really need hold.
One item herbal essence hello hydration blue bottle .its super moisturizing and slippage start soaking cowash and use as styler
Wow! Your hair turned out amazing. I cant wait until my hair grows this long. Thank you for demonstrating ALL the steps. Your a lot different than most video bloggers!
Hey lady, the more important question is how did you like it. You embrace your shrinkage which is great. I love the shine in the end pic.
I love the results. I’m still gathering my opinions after this week. I’ll make an update video!
Wow that's really nice wash go hairstyles so pretty
I am so so happy I found your page. It gives me life yesss!!!!! Thanks for this video.
Hi latoya! I am a 14 girl that is new to the natural community.. your videos has helped me a lot to understand what I need to know about my 4c hair. I am struggling to find out what products I need to use on my hair because it is sooo dry. The shampoo and conditioner I have is cantu, I'm not sure if it fits my hair type. When I use cantu conditioner/shampoo, it curls my hair when its wet. I don't know how to deal with shrinkage and I get frustrated because of it. My mother doesn't agree with natural hair because she doesn't really have the patience for curly, kinky hair. She used to have healthy long, curly hair that touched her bum but she had hers professionally done. So that gives me an idea on why she doesn't really know how to take care of my hair. My cousin encouraged me to go natural because her 3c hair is beautiful, but I was kind of upset to see I didn't have her hair type but again she is mixed :/. I sort of feel lost because my two aunts have relaxed her, but my other aunt is natural but gets hers professionally done. And my cousin literally just needs water and gel because shes mixed. My aunt that braids my hair kinda doesn't help because all she can say is my hair is nappy and I need to comb it more.
Help is needed xD
The wash n go looks amazing!
Hi Latoya I love your message of positivity about loving how we naturally are. Thanks 😊
