    Bagging your leave in before the gel is a game changer. I have 4C hair (I hate hair typing but doing it for reference) so you gotta do your leave-in in the shower while your hair is soaking wet. Put a cap on it, shower and wash your body. Then when you get out, you can use your gel or styler. Thank me later:

    I’ve been doing wash n gos for over a year and half and I can honestly say , you can retain length length with wash n gos. Just make sure your hair never gets to be dry and brittle. That’s all it is keep your hair moisturized. People fail to realize that you can leave your hair in a protective style and your hair can dry out but with wash n gos your more likely to pay attention too it.

Now that I’m at a length that I’m more comfortable with I’ve doing wash n gos, and I wish I did this earlier in my hair journey bc my hair is thriving on a new level. Wash n gos allow you to pay attention to your hair and they are just easier to deal with.

      The whole concept of a protective style is a myth. They’re beautiful recreational styles but there’s no need to “protect” our hair more than any other. Plus people often neglect their hair for weeks and months because of it.

    One thing I notice about those who have grown their hair long - whether they do protective styles or wash n go - they do not use combs in their hair. They detangle using the fingers with water or conditioner. I am definitely going to do that.

      Ms. Mississippi is thigh length and she uses a comb every single wash day BUT she washes her afro textured hair every 2-3 days WITH shampoo. Washing the hair frequently actually makes it more resilient. The main reason our hair can't handle tools is not the curl but the strands are fragile, brittle, and dry because we don't shampoo enough. Even once a week is too long.

Wash-n-go was my jam and that is how I did my daughter when I had her. It’s low manipulation, constant moisture/water because we wash more, finger detangling, and a good cream and sealant to keep the moisture in. Refresh with water until the next wash...THATS ALL! People always asked how my hair grows so fast... LEAVE IT ALONE. If you notice, that’s how all the big natural you tubers grow their hair.... wash-n-go. Y’all better listen. This is it! Great info. Great video. You hit the nail on the head. I’m growing locs now...😊♥️

My natural curls are cut into a short Bob now… and this is my go to stretch method!! I like to air dry for a few hours to allow my curls to really tighten in place. Then I stretch gently using a blow dryer. I get almost 3 additional inches with this method. So simple and so effective!

      @@adwoamk8918 I would say develop a very low maintenance routine. I shampoo, deep condition, style in a wash and go once a week. My hair retains moisture, and nearly no single strand knots. Keep it simple(this also cuts down on knots). A year ago I cut out the ACV rinses, clays, etc, and my coils look so much better. I don't use heat when I deep condition anymore...the steam from the shower is enough. Finger detangling cuts down on breakage. Every bluemoon I'll use a detangling brush, and it goes through my strands easily...so finger detangling works. I spend at the most 3 hrs and 30 min on my hair per week. Bonnet every night and fluff hair in the morning.

    Hair truly depends. I have almost waist length high porosity hair (I've been natural 5 years). I wash every 2-3 weeks, deep condition maybe once every three months and use protein treatments maybe once a year. I wouldn't recommend anyone do what i do but it works for me. I went to get my hair flat ironed and when i explained how low maintenance i was the hairdresser prepared me to lose inches of length. I only needed an inch gone but i also trim myself about twice a year. I think doing so little and genes is why my hair does great but others need more.

    Agree wholeheartedly!! I grew my hair to waist length doing primarily wash and gos for almost the entire time I’ve been natural (5/2012).I did a second big chop in 2019 because I went on Keto (lost 96 pounds) but probably over did the fasting and also entering the menopause years (hormone changes). I’m still doing wash and gos. I’m not fasting drastically anymore and I’m taking natural supplements. I’m back to bra strap length coming from a tapered cut I did in September of 2019. So... definitely possible.

    I'm high porosity too and I found that the gel works as a barrier to keeping the moisture in my hair. Because as high porosity, the hair does not retain moisture. The wash and gos grew my hair for that very reason. The only thing was that I needed to redo every three days or so. I need to work on that.

    This what Im saying. I had lower back length 4c hair which was heat damaged by a fake natural stylist. I cared for my hair with protective twists and just left it alone. The longer my hair got, the longer it took to manage, twisting and untwisting, detangling, and whatnot. Nevertheless, I have big chopped and said to myself, SURELY I can retain length without having to twist it all of the time. I should be able to leave it out as long as it is moisturized regularly. Honestly, think about high school and how guys would grow their hair out without a protective style. They just applied leave in conditioner every morning and kept it moving. We ladies cant retain length because, honestly, we do to much.

    I just want to say thank you so much for doing this video. I am so glad that you posted this, because as someone who loves color, I was always so worried about my hair not being able to grow with color. I have been natural since I was 15 and I am 24 now, and I have seen some growth, but it hasn't been growing like I wanted. And I think--No, I know a lot of it is because: A.) I did not have the right products and B.) I wasn't sure how to go about it. I have dreamed about having long beautiful, healthy, natural hair for some time now, and was really getting depressed because I couldn't figure out why my hair wasn't growing. I used to always envy my sister's hair because it was more loose and more manageable mine, and because of it, my hair and I were not on the same page. It's taken a lot of time for me to realize that just because my curls are a little more tight, does not mean they can't be beautiful and long.
    I recently just started getting into wash and Go's. And seeing this video, has truly inspired me. I know now that it is possible to have vibrantly colored hair and retain length, as long as my hair still gets its protein and moisture. So, thank you so much for sharing this. I am also looking into the exact products you used and plan to try them out and color my hair, because Bay-beee it's time for some color, hahaha!

My hair is growing, but I lose so much hair on wash day so I know I'm not retaining my growth. I'm low porosity with super super tight curls. The way your hair weighs down with your product and remains after drying doesn't happen for me. It starts weighed down, but it shrinks up so tight once it drys. 🤦🏾‍♀️ Everyone says it's healthy with a lot of protein and that's why it does that, but I want my hair to hang too lol 🤣🤣 I like the way you stretched your hair with the defuser. It seems much better than just stretching with the concentrater nozzle which makes frizz city
