I’m just learning about this method like a month ago from another curl specialist. One thing I’ve realized is that I haven’t been using enough conditioner during my wash days. I’ve also been extending my wash days for too long. I’ll start washing my hair every 3, maybe 4 days (same as I did when I was relaxed) instead of every 5-7 and see if it helps.
WOW! A lot of TH-cam influencers been doing "wash-and- spend-hours-to-set" with all that raking, shingling crap when THIS here, is what a true "WASH AND GO" is. I found this so late! 🥺 I also realize now that co-washing and deep conditioning are processes not necessarily products... The co-wash that is sold should be my shampoo! thanks Anthony!!
Exactly. No wonder the As I Am Coconut Cowash is so cleansing. It’s actually a shampoo. And the actual conditioner is what we use to cowash with during the week. So confusing. I’m getting this info wayyyy late as well. Smh.
This gives me so much hope. I'm either going to cut my hair off or figure it out. I've been natural for a decade and never really embraced my texture. I'm sick of twist outs and braid outs. I just want to wash and go! For real!!
I have perfected the twist out but it’s no longer my go to. When I made this comment I really decided to embrace my hair texture(s) so now I wear it in true wash n go’s among other styles. I don’t do it every day or even every week but I’m way more comfortable wetting my hair every few days and letting it rock. Some times I literally wash n go and some times I wash and sit my butt down and define for an hour. My best take away from this video was moisturizing my hair with water more often. I saw a change in my curls. Parts of my hair that I didn’t think curled at all are way different now.
I can't belive it took my 29 years to learn how to style my curls. Thank you!!! For your amazing Advices. I was afraid of water and used to walk with dry hair all day everyday. I even stoped wearing my afro that got too long and did not know how to manage. I've been only having compliments since applying the Dickey method and my curls are flourishing
I've been applying this method to my sons hair (approx 3 weeks thus far), and OMG!!!!! My life has been transformed. We get compliments everywhere we go.
Alright, so I saw this and I'm glad I found this three weeks into going natural instead of a year in. I've been overwhelmed by all these natural hair TH-camrs and have tried their wash and go styles and honestly I DO NOT HAVE THE TIME. The first time I did this wash and go I only put in leave in conditioner and totally forgot to add my styling cream. I let it air dry and my hair did feel soft and moisturized, however my curls weren't popping as expected, but I was surprised with being able to see my curl pattern instead of using gels and finger coiling my hair. Now, lemmie tell ya sumting. That Second Time. Adding the styling cream and a bit of argan deep penetrating oil. GIRRRRRLLLLLLL. I will only ever do this from now on. Sooooo happy I stumbled upon Anthony and Hair Rules. This alone has made going natural much easier! No more excessive spending for products I didn't need and were only making my hair dry. A little annoyed with how much I bought into the Natural Hair Community on TH-cam and the amount of money I've spent but I'm glad I found out now instead of two years down the line. Hydration is key! Give me all that water! My steps: Coconut Curls Conditioner Argan Oil Deep Penetrating Cantu Leave in Conditioner Maui Curl Smoothie Shake well like ya possessed and air dry. Eventually I'll invest in a good dryer but I don't mind letting it air dry for now.
Hii, I have an iquiry: I've read complaints of cantu doing more drying than moisturising, did the Cantu Leave-in Conditioner leave your hair feeling dry to the touch?
@@Danielle09419 Hey, I ended up not using the leave in down the road as it was too much product for my hair. But it never left it dry, I would just have white residue in my hair. Now I just do the maui coconut oil curl quenching cream, a little bit of melanin cream, and a tiny bit of gel. It works well for my hair, that's 4c low porosity
@@AshleyJaay I'll sleep with a bonnet on, if I feel like it but I"m a very lazy natural. I wash my hair once a week because it starts feeling dirty by then.
It’s 2020 and he is right on time with this info (and I’m 3 years late). I tried this for two days and I can tell it’s the real deal. He is the best 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I discovered this last year my hair loves water because i swim twice a day i used only condistioner then i came across this the other day and have started adding styling product i love it i just feel cleaner wetting my hair everyday
I’m here in 2023, biracial woman with 3A/3B hair type doing my best to learn how to care for both of my toddlers hair. My daughter and son both have 4A-4C hair type. Any other helpful tips would be greatly appreciated! So grateful for videos like these. 😊
I am now a wash n go girl. I've been natural for 17 years but have only been doing wash n gos for about a year and a half and I couldn't figure out why my hair is so much more moisturized and healthier than it has ever been and this video has turned on a light bulb for me as to WHY my hair is so much easier to manage. Every time I style my hair the process gets quicker and easier. I would also like to mention that it wasn't until i did my 3rd BC and my hair was extremely short did I learn how to do wash n gos, which is why I am such an advocate of BC'ing instead of transitioning. If you can't manage your hair short, you have the patience to try to learn how to manage it when it's long. By BC'ing, you use less product, and if a stye doesn't turn out right the first time, its no big deal to re-do it, and practice over and over again because it's not as time consuming. When I had bra strap length hair a few years ago, there was no way in the world I was gonna re-attempt a failed wash-n-go that took hrs to shampoo, condition, detangle, etc. Anyway... ::steps down from soap box:: I REALLY ENJOY YOUR VIDS DICKEY!
CutiePieZphi Excellent point Sis! I have fine strands with medium density and my hair loved when I wet it... often. I was just planning my winter-to-spring regimen, and I think I'm going to do wash and goes to combat dryness.
This is how I’m styling and drying my hair and I’m in love with it! I don’t even feel the need to stretch if. It’s fun to experiment and play in your hair but you should always have an option of styling that doesn’t require that much effort and also makes you feel good. This is so cute on her!
I just do this and I do not have realllyyy kinky hair but BABBBYYYYYYY THIS THE BEST WASH AN GO I EVER HAD IN MY LIFFFEEEE. Making sure the hair is wet wet every time Working in ENOUGH CONDITIONER AND CREAM Omg!!!! I love u for this lesson !!!!
This really works! I came across the video a few months ago and tried it on my freshly trimmed hair. A wash & Go had never worked for me in the past. I've been doing this for a few months but I was in NY two weeks ago and visited the salon. Dickey did a wash & go for me and talked me through the process just like he is on the video. Awesome information and an amazing salon. Any time I'm in NY I will be booking my plane ticket immediately followed by scheduling an appointment at Hair Rules!
@@priscaosuya if he used leave in I’m sure he wouldn’t have. I just recall him using the curly whip and sitting me under the dryer. I have the leave in at home but I really just use in a spray bottle with water to refresh curls. I still use the curly whip just depending on the look I’m Going for
I am living in the Caribbean. This video was veryyyyy helpful ,I am glad I came across it,because I've been looking for tutorials to help me get my wash and go correct. I'm definitely going to try.
I just tried this method. I am sitting under the dryer as I type. Just say yes to elongation!!!! Thanks Mr. Dickey. Ok I just checked and my hair looks amazing. I’m about to finish by defusing it. The scalp is still wet, but I freaking love it. It took me an hour and 20 mins., which included washing conditioning, leave in and gel and I was under the dryer for 25 min. My hair normally shrinks soooo much, this definitely gave me length. Again thanks.
I just sent this to my son who has a big, beautiful natural fro! He’s 18 and a college student and wants to rock his natural curls. This is PERFECT!!!!
OMG!!! I almost shed a tear when I saw her hair. I’m so going to do this for me and my girls. I am sooo happy I came to know about you Dickey by a sister you saw doing your method and you reached out to her and you did a video chat with her. I have been looking for a way to capture this look because I know what my hair looks like when wet and with the product. Wow I am amazed at this. I am a “retired” barber stylist and this was not taught 20 years ago when I was in school. Thank you for sharing.❤😊
Ok sooooooo I finally did it!!!!! 1st time I tried it last week I still made my own amendments not knowing you must follow his instructions and steps. At 1st I shampooed hair because it needed a clean anyways after some weeks, then bentonite clay, deep conditioner, styling cream then eco gel then oil all raked through in the same movement he did but the outcome was still defined curls but I told myself the gel maybe helped a bit. 2nd attempt yesterday. Wet hair, deep condition, wash out, leave in conditioner (soaking wet hair is needed for all applications), shake hair for my life then air dry and the definition I kid you not is shocking for me with absolutely NO GEL. My hair is kinky maybe 4b I don't know. It did shrink in the back but the front of my hair is longer. This quick lil wash day was 30 - 35 mins max !!! At night I banded the hair in 5 sections then fluff this morning and went out looking cute with full soft stretched hair CON: My hair by day 3 was dry as F and started to tangle. This type of wash n go as Dicky said in the video is really to be done every 2 days........but I'm not gonna do that. I only use this method as a quick style that gives perf results if I have somewhere special to go TIP: I personally used a cheap leave in conditioner due to the frequency of this method and amount to be used (which wasn't that bad as the leave in i used was not thick so the product distributed quickly) and I actually loved it also. It was also slippery and foamyish. The African pride olive oil leave in conditioner is what I bought specifically for this. Whew this is a long ass comment 😥
Thanks for the long comment lol, it was helpful. Did you need to detangle with a comb at all? The tangling is what I am afraid. Even after a twist out my hair will tangle in 3 days if I don't seperate it into a about 5 ponytails with satin scrunchies at night.
@MT 🌙 No. I haven't since I don't wear wash n gos due to my job. Also my hair has been in protective styles since. I just play around with wash n gos when im home or off from work. This wash n go is something I'd use if I want to go out somewhere special and don't have much time to style hair.
THANKYOU so much. i get so sad that i dont know how to care for my hair and its like everything only works for other types. then i get so embarrassed and feel like if my hair doesn't have weave, then its not "done". but i hate feeling like that i just want to be confident in my natural self. i was even thinking of just cutting it all off.. but THANKYOU i keep telling everything u say here to my family and sending them this video. I finally feel confident in my natural state. I use to feel like putting water in my hair (even just in the pool) was a big NO-NO for my hair type which made me sad because other types do it just fine.. With this said yesterday i went the the pool full of people, confidently with my big fro 4c hair with no care in the world! I just want to cry happier it just feels so good feeling confident in my natural state and not being ashamed.
this just changed my whole game on a wash and go, i mean like, whattt??? i've been doing it all wrong and now i tried it, my hair hasn't looked, felt or behaved the way it does now and i love the texture and the curls, like c'mon, all these years and there was just this one video that makes it all make sense... thank you Anthony for coming to my rescue, i was about to go for a relaxer. you've just gained a follower!!!
I remember the roller set! lol It was my go to style in high school in the 90's. My hair grew like a weed when I wore them too. I loved this video thanks for sharing.
After watching this and reading the success stories in the comments, I hopped in the shower to try this myself. I have very thick, shoulder-length, 3C/4A hair and I always am trying to find a way to elongate and define my curls. This WERKS! Just putting your curl/styling cream on in the shower right after the rinse made a huge difference. I didn't have to worry about rewetting my hair because it started drying after getting out of the shower and setting up to style my hair. Just DO the Thang!
This is an amazing tutorial! I figured this method out on my own through pure trial and error. Only difference is that I comb the conditioner and the leave in product into my hair. It helps elongate the hair better than just your fingers. I also keep a bottle of rose water on me to spritz it throughout the day. Awesome video!
👍🤩💝That wash n go is great. 👍🤩💝Wow, there’s TAREN….I miss seeing her. I know she announced she was moving on to other things like Lucid Dreaming. I wish her the best. 🙏💝
This method is great; just do it on detangled hair first! The back half of my head wasn't and the wash-and-go exposed my laziness. I let it dry and THEN proceeded to address the tangles and knots. Oil was my best friend here (water was making my tangles worse). I used just enough to saturate the large, tangled curl clumps followed by finger-detangling, cutting any irreversible knots, and then finger-coiling the now detangled hair out of the way. I just wanted to share what I did so that you don't go on a chopping spree 💇♂️ like I was about to do 😊.
I never liked a whole lot of product in my hair before I went natural. I kept the same thought these past two months after my "little" chop. I'm taking your advice and my hair is awesome! Will cowash at LEAST 3x per week to keep this look. Appreciate you, Dickey!!
This is true. When I had a relaxer the stylist didn’t put a lot of product on my hair and i did the same when I washed my own hair...but natural hair is the opposite.
Best demonstration of a wash and go I have ever seen. And thank you for your clarification on the care and how frequent you need to co wash to achieve the curl pattern
Awwww this is the FIRST time since I’ve been natural since 2013 that I’ve been educated on co-washing and shampooing the difference of both and how to lengthen gem- I was so scared of wash n go’s! I’m so ready to try it-Thank you❤️💝❣️💖🤣🎉🎊
This is awesome. As a male, I have wanted to grow my hair out and I have been struggling hard with growing it. It breaks its super dry. I have 4c hair is super coily and no matter what I looked up I couldn’t find anything to keep my hair healthy and keep it from breaking, getting insanely tangled. I cannot wait to get home and give this a try.
This was so helpful! I did my first successful wash & go! Also Dickey explained what water and condition ain’t does for kinky hair so well. Makes perfect sense.
I feel like I found the hair video dropped from heaven. Thank you. I made a huge mistake and allowed my hair to be dyed by a stylist. It is so dry and does feel like my soft moist hair before the dye. What's the best method to receive the same coil effect on my dyed hair?
I just did my own big chop today and honestly my confidence is through the roof rn. I’m going to try your method and see what happens as my hair grows. ☺️ This is the most optimistic I’ve been about my hair and I’ve been natural since 2007. 😭 Sometimes you gotta wait for your change to come. 🤣😭
Omg so happy I came across this channel.. This method has cut 1hr off my wash day routine. ❤️❤️❤️My hair came out perfect.. Absolutely love it.. Definitely subscribed..
So I only been natural for 2 years and I really didn't have a clue what to do. I came across this video and I said why not try it. I always love my hair pattern after i conditioned it. My hair is super thick and dry also and it came out so good.
Wow, this is impressive!!!! I've seen people use this method on TH-cam, and it didn't make sense to me, this video was much more clear. My curl pattern IS NOTHING like hers though...lol. but great info if I just want a moistured fro (like the other lady in the video).
Thank you Dickey!! I am crying right now😭😭😂❤️. I’m so glad I finally found you! I am 55 years old. I had been relaxing my hair since I could remember. When I turned 50 I decided I hated my hair so I had it cut into a red Mohawk 😂🤣. But after a while I hated that too, so I started doing weaves for the next four years and only relaxing my leave out. Then a little over a year ago I noticed that my hair had grown to almost bra strap length and I decided to try to work with natural hair. My hair has never grown past my shoulders before this, probably because I used to wash, blow dry and flat iron almost every day🙄. For a year now I have tried everything on TH-cam to get a wash & go and hated the way it would turn out till I found your channel! Every time I tried my hair looked so frizzy and dry and my curls would only pop in the lower back by my neck. My hair is now past bra strap length and Today I tried your method and I can finally say I love my natural hair! I was so close to going back to relaxer.
Thank you SO MUCH AD, this is amazing the time saved, the RESULTS, the SHAKE!!!! I'm in love with the SHAKE! It seperates the curls and the curls do their own thing!!!
Omg this actually works. For the first time in my life I have gotten a decent wash and go. I am sure with practice, I will get even better at doing it. 🤗🤗
Thanks for inventing the real wash and go i see people on utube use gell. Use their finger to separate strand by strand or a comb a bush to form curls you make it so simple and more healthy thanks you DICKEY i don't have to walk around with tore up hair looking dry and frizzy looking like a tumble weed thanks too you am doing the right thing thank you DICKEY your the man 👨
aqua fina ok so I just tried it, but I plopped with a microfiber towel instead. This is the first time I’ve ever done a wash and go AND been able to do my skincare and makeup at the same time. My hair was damp enough for me to just air dry if I wanted or diffuse. It’s dry and it isn’t even dark outside
I love this i been doing this for 3 week and my hair became soft and my curl are popping and my hair is thicker and it so fun to do and it cut so much time ❤❤❤ thank you for this
I just did a 2nd bc TODAY! Bc I don't know how to keep my curls moist and.poppi like this! I wish I wouldv'e found this earlier..but I am on the ball now, THANK YOU!
I can say this works for my type 4 coily as hell hair! I was so amazed I’d never seen my hair so curly and defined 😍 such an easy process. I don’t have a hooded dryer however, so air drying time is annoying lol. Also, products I use leave white flakes in my hair when it dries; would you know why Dickey?
Lex N it would probably be the products you’re using that creates the white flakes. Try experimenting by mixing your leave-in with your styler on the back of your hand. If it looks like cottage cheese, it’ll cause white flakes. Hope this helps!!
Thanks. Now I understand how to wash my natural hair. I have been wearing a wig because it is so much trouble trying to deal with the kinks. I’m going to try this. ❤
I'll try it to see what it do. The back of my hair curl way more than the front. The front of my hair be having me ready to just give up & throw on my wig. But I want to get my natural hair to a point of wearing it more.
Great tutorial. Now I know the mistakes Ive been making. Do you have a video on how to refresh day 2 wash and go. Usually my Day 2 is puffy and dry. Do I start all over again with washing etc?
I love how he teaches her and involves her in her her process instead of keeping all the knowledge for himself ❤

A little annoyed with how much I bought into the Natural Hair Community on TH-cam and the amount of money I've spent but I'm glad I found out now instead of two years down the line.
Hydration is key! Give me all that water!
My steps:
Coconut Curls Conditioner
Argan Oil Deep Penetrating
Cantu Leave in Conditioner
Maui Curl Smoothie
Shake well like ya possessed and air dry.
Eventually I'll invest in a good dryer but I don't mind letting it air dry for now.
Hii,
I have an iquiry: I've read complaints of cantu doing more drying than moisturising, did the Cantu Leave-in Conditioner leave your hair feeling dry to the touch?
@@Danielle09419 Hey, I ended up not using the leave in down the road as it was too much product for my hair. But it never left it dry, I would just have white residue in my hair. Now I just do the maui coconut oil curl quenching cream, a little bit of melanin cream, and a tiny bit of gel. It works well for my hair, that's 4c low porosity
Thanks for sharing! I just have a couple of questions if that is okay. How do you sleep with your hair at night? And how often do you wash it ?
@@AshleyJaay I'll sleep with a bonnet on, if I feel like it but I"m a very lazy natural. I wash my hair once a week because it starts feeling dirty by then.
@@pyrhus8142 does your hair still look the same during the week? Before you wash it again
It’s 2020 and he is right on time with this info (and I’m 3 years late). I tried this for two days and I can tell it’s the real deal. He is the best 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I’m here too!
How often do you co-wash/ restyle?
Ashley Latney I co-wash every 3-4 days as I work in the hospital and keep my hair out. How often do you co-wash?
I discovered this last year my hair loves water because i swim twice a day i used only condistioner then i came across this the other day and have started adding styling product i love it i just feel cleaner wetting my hair everyday
I’m about to try this!! Hello 2020
I’m here in 2023, biracial woman with 3A/3B hair type doing my best to learn how to care for both of my toddlers hair. My daughter and son both have 4A-4C hair type. Any other helpful tips would be greatly appreciated! So grateful for videos like these. 😊
This is the fastest most defined wash and go on kinky hair I’ve ever seen!! Love it !!
I am now a wash n go girl. I've been natural for 17 years but have only been doing wash n gos for about a year and a half and I couldn't figure out why my hair is so much more moisturized and healthier than it has ever been and this video has turned on a light bulb for me as to WHY my hair is so much easier to manage. Every time I style my hair the process gets quicker and easier. I would also like to mention that it wasn't until i did my 3rd BC and my hair was extremely short did I learn how to do wash n gos, which is why I am such an advocate of BC'ing instead of transitioning. If you can't manage your hair short, you have the patience to try to learn how to manage it when it's long. By BC'ing, you use less product, and if a stye doesn't turn out right the first time, its no big deal to re-do it, and practice over and over again because it's not as time consuming. When I had bra strap length hair a few years ago, there was no way in the world I was gonna re-attempt a failed wash-n-go that took hrs to shampoo, condition, detangle, etc. Anyway... ::steps down from soap box:: I REALLY ENJOY YOUR VIDS DICKEY!
CutiePieZphi Excellent point Sis! I have fine strands with medium density and my hair loved when I wet it... often. I was just planning my winter-to-spring regimen, and I think I'm going to do wash and goes to combat dryness.
Love Jones excellent idea!
Natural Denna Mug
Please share your routine, and list of products used for each step! Thank you! 😊
This is how I’m styling and drying my hair and I’m in love with it! I don’t even feel the need to stretch if. It’s fun to experiment and play in your hair but you should always have an option of styling that doesn’t require that much effort and also makes you feel good. This is so cute on her!
I just do this and I do not have realllyyy kinky hair but BABBBYYYYYYY THIS THE BEST WASH AN GO I EVER HAD IN MY LIFFFEEEE. Making sure the hair is wet wet every time Working in ENOUGH CONDITIONER AND CREAM Omg!!!! I love u for this lesson !!!!
This really works! I came across the video a few months ago and tried it on my freshly trimmed hair. A wash & Go had never worked for me in the past. I've been doing this for a few months but I was in NY two weeks ago and visited the salon. Dickey did a wash & go for me and talked me through the process just like he is on the video. Awesome information and an amazing salon. Any time I'm in NY I will be booking my plane ticket immediately followed by scheduling an appointment at Hair Rules!
Did he rinse out the leave in conditioner?
@@priscaosuya if he used leave in I’m sure he wouldn’t have. I just recall him using the curly whip and sitting me under the dryer. I have the leave in at home but I really just use in a spray bottle with water to refresh curls. I still use the curly whip just depending on the look I’m
Going for
@@chardeolafemi192 thanks for your response
I am living in the Caribbean. This video was veryyyyy helpful ,I am glad I came across it,because I've been looking for tutorials to help me get my wash and go correct. I'm definitely going to try.
I love the way he explains hair care! He makes it sound so easy! Probably will have to try his products.
I just tried this method. I am sitting under the dryer as I type. Just say yes to elongation!!!! Thanks Mr. Dickey.
Ok I just checked and my hair looks amazing. I’m about to finish by defusing it. The scalp is still wet, but I freaking love it. It took me an hour and 20 mins., which included washing conditioning, leave in and gel and I was under the dryer for 25 min. My hair normally shrinks soooo much, this definitely gave me length. Again thanks.
What type of gel and heat level: high or low?
I just tried this for the first time today. I am BLOwN AWAY! I can't wait to take a shower everyday and cowash my hair for my wash and gos! ❤❤
I just sent this to my son who has a big, beautiful natural fro! He’s 18 and a college student and wants to rock his natural curls. This is PERFECT!!!!
That is awesome!!
OMG!!! I almost shed a tear when I saw her hair. I’m so going to do this for me and my girls. I am sooo happy I came to know about you Dickey by a sister you saw doing your method and you reached out to her and you did a video chat with her. I have been looking for a way to capture this look because I know what my hair looks like when wet and with the product.
Wow I am amazed at this. I am a “retired” barber stylist and this was not taught 20 years ago when I was in school.
Thank you for sharing.❤😊
oh the beauty of that hair!!! we have the most versatile, lovely hair. Thank you Most High!
Ok sooooooo I finally did it!!!!!
1st time I tried it last week I still made my own amendments not knowing you must follow his instructions and steps.
At 1st I shampooed hair because it needed a clean anyways after some weeks, then bentonite clay, deep conditioner, styling cream then eco gel then oil all raked through in the same movement he did but the outcome was still defined curls but I told myself the gel maybe helped a bit.
2nd attempt yesterday. Wet hair, deep condition, wash out, leave in conditioner (soaking wet hair is needed for all applications), shake hair for my life then air dry and the definition I kid you not is shocking for me with absolutely NO GEL.
My hair is kinky maybe 4b I don't know. It did shrink in the back but the front of my hair is longer.
This quick lil wash day was 30 - 35 mins max !!!
At night I banded the hair in 5 sections then fluff this morning and went out looking cute with full soft stretched hair
CON: My hair by day 3 was dry as F and started to tangle. This type of wash n go as Dicky said in the video is really to be done every 2 days........but I'm not gonna do that. I only use this method as a quick style that gives perf results if I have somewhere special to go
TIP: I personally used a cheap leave in conditioner due to the frequency of this method and amount to be used (which wasn't that bad as the leave in i used was not thick so the product distributed quickly) and I actually loved it also. It was also slippery and foamyish. The African pride olive oil leave in conditioner is what I bought specifically for this.
Whew this is a long ass comment 😥
Thanks for the long comment lol, it was helpful. Did you need to detangle with a comb at all? The tangling is what I am afraid. Even after a twist out my hair will tangle in 3 days if I don't seperate it into a about 5 ponytails with satin scrunchies at night.
@MT 🌙 HI. No combs were used. Just fingers. Once you have a good conditioner with slip and use on wet hair nothing else will be needed.
@@longlivesoca Wow, are you still using this method?
@MT 🌙 No. I haven't since I don't wear wash n gos due to my job. Also my hair has been in protective styles since. I just play around with wash n gos when im home or off from work. This wash n go is something I'd use if I want to go out somewhere special and don't have much time to style hair.
@@longlivesoca thanks for responding
Both the ladies have BEAUTIFUL HEALTHY HAIR!!!
This GUY!!! I LOVE how he helps the natural 4 type hair!!!
Her hair came out BEAUTIFULLY 🥰
THANKYOU so much. i get so sad that i dont know how to care for my hair and its like everything only works for other types. then i get so embarrassed and feel like if my hair doesn't have weave, then its not "done". but i hate feeling like that i just want to be confident in my natural self. i was even thinking of just cutting it all off.. but THANKYOU i keep telling everything u say here to my family and sending them this video. I finally feel confident in my natural state. I use to feel like putting water in my hair (even just in the pool) was a big NO-NO for my hair type which made me sad because other types do it just fine.. With this said yesterday i went the the pool full of people, confidently with my big fro 4c hair with no care in the world! I just want to cry happier it just feels so good feeling confident in my natural state and not being ashamed.
💔...❤🩹...💓...💗...💥...💛...🌟...🎆‼
this just changed my whole game on a wash and go, i mean like, whattt??? i've been doing it all wrong and now i tried it, my hair hasn't looked, felt or behaved the way it does now and i love the texture and the curls, like c'mon, all these years and there was just this one video that makes it all make sense... thank you Anthony for coming to my rescue, i was about to go for a relaxer. you've just gained a follower!!!
I remember the roller set! lol It was my go to style in high school in the 90's. My hair grew like a weed when I wore them too. I loved this video thanks for sharing.
this is like Hair Therapy. literally
After watching this and reading the success stories in the comments, I hopped in the shower to try this myself. I have very thick, shoulder-length, 3C/4A hair and I always am trying to find a way to elongate and define my curls. This WERKS! Just putting your curl/styling cream on in the shower right after the rinse made a huge difference. I didn't have to worry about rewetting my hair because it started drying after getting out of the shower and setting up to style my hair. Just DO the Thang!
Did u use a gel in the process?
This is an amazing tutorial! I figured this method out on my own through pure trial and error. Only difference is that I comb the conditioner and the leave in product into my hair. It helps elongate the hair better than just your fingers. I also keep a bottle of rose water on me to spritz it throughout the day. Awesome video!
I STILL love Anthony Dickey's method best!
👍🤩💝That wash n go is great.
👍🤩💝Wow, there’s TAREN….I miss seeing her. I know she announced she was moving on to other things like Lucid Dreaming. I wish her the best. 🙏💝
This method is great; just do it on detangled hair first! The back half of my head wasn't and the wash-and-go exposed my laziness. I let it dry and THEN proceeded to address the tangles and knots. Oil was my best friend here (water was making my tangles worse). I used just enough to saturate the large, tangled curl clumps followed by finger-detangling, cutting any irreversible knots, and then finger-coiling the now detangled hair out of the way. I just wanted to share what I did so that you don't go on a chopping spree 💇♂️ like I was about to do 😊.
I never liked a whole lot of product in my hair before I went natural. I kept the same thought these past two months after my "little" chop. I'm taking your advice and my hair is awesome! Will cowash at LEAST 3x per week to keep this look. Appreciate you, Dickey!!
This is true. When I had a relaxer the stylist didn’t put a lot of product on my hair and i did the same when I washed my own hair...but natural hair is the opposite.
So you just apply conditioner and rinse ioff 3x ?
That is one one the best w-n-g for a kinkier style i have ever seen. Great job
Best demonstration of a wash and go I have ever seen. And thank you for your clarification on the care and how frequent you need to co wash to achieve the curl pattern
A master. Watching Anthony Dickey has made me so confident with my hair.
Hosea 4:6. Thank you for adding knowledge to my life.
Awwww this is the FIRST time since I’ve been natural since 2013 that I’ve been educated on co-washing and shampooing the difference of both and how to lengthen gem- I was so scared of wash n go’s! I’m so ready to try it-Thank you❤️💝❣️💖🤣🎉🎊
So she was happy with the 1st reveal and scared after the blow dry 🤣. I'm going to try this method tomorrow.
Right.
No need for the blow dryer. Was already beautiful
Girl me too! I was like nooooo! He messed it up! 😩 lol. Hopefully he fixed it off camera
Thanks for bringing me back. I watched it again and still laughed!
@@jazzip😂😂😂
This is awesome. As a male, I have wanted to grow my hair out and I have been struggling hard with growing it. It breaks its super dry. I have 4c hair is super coily and no matter what I looked up I couldn’t find anything to keep my hair healthy and keep it from breaking, getting insanely tangled. I cannot wait to get home and give this a try.
This was so helpful! I did my first successful wash & go! Also Dickey explained what water and condition ain’t does for kinky hair so well. Makes perfect sense.
I feel like I found the hair video dropped from heaven. Thank you. I made a huge mistake and allowed my hair to be dyed by a stylist. It is so dry and does feel like my soft moist hair before the dye. What's the best method to receive the same coil effect on my dyed hair?
"Hair video dropped from heaven." BEST description!!!🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🤗😉
I just did my own big chop today and honestly my confidence is through the roof rn. I’m going to try your method and see what happens as my hair grows. ☺️ This is the most optimistic I’ve been about my hair and I’ve been natural since 2007. 😭 Sometimes you gotta wait for your change to come. 🤣😭
I tried this over the weekend..omg so much easier and my curls are so defined
Omg so happy I came across this channel.. This method has cut 1hr off my wash day routine. ❤️❤️❤️My hair came out perfect.. Absolutely love it.. Definitely subscribed..
So I only been natural for 2 years and I really didn't have a clue what to do. I came across this video and I said why not try it. I always love my hair pattern after i conditioned it. My hair is super thick and dry also and it came out so good.
Wow, this is impressive!!!! I've seen people use this method on TH-cam, and it didn't make sense to me, this video was much more clear.
My curl pattern IS NOTHING like hers though...lol. but great info if I just want a moistured fro (like the other lady in the video).
I am impressed you didn't need to use any gel . Thank you Mr Dickey I ❤ it easy and simple ❤❤❤God Bless you
Her hair looks really beautiful I ❤ it . I have been looking for a easy and fast way to style my hair . That's perfect ❤❤❤
Your products are potent and I love seeing how it cares for her hair. ❤
Thank you Dickey!! I am crying right now😭😭😂❤️. I’m so glad I finally found you! I am 55 years old. I had been relaxing my hair since I could remember. When I turned 50 I decided I hated my hair so I had it cut into a red Mohawk 😂🤣. But after a while I hated that too, so I started doing weaves for the next four years and only relaxing my leave out. Then a little over a year ago I noticed that my hair had grown to almost bra strap length and I decided to try to work with natural hair. My hair has never grown past my shoulders before this, probably because I used to wash, blow dry and flat iron almost every day🙄. For a year now I have tried everything on TH-cam to get a wash & go and hated the way it would turn out till I found your channel! Every time I tried my hair looked so frizzy and dry and my curls would only pop in the lower back by my neck. My hair is now past bra strap length and Today I tried your method and I can finally say I love my natural hair! I was so close to going back to relaxer.
what products did you use?
I love how knowledgeable he is ✔️
Thank you SO MUCH AD, this is amazing the time saved, the RESULTS, the SHAKE!!!! I'm in love with the SHAKE! It seperates the curls and the curls do their own thing!!!
Wow! Great end result💕💕,he makes it look so easy 🤷🏽♀️👏🏽👏🏽
This girl’s hair is so beautiful
Omg this actually works. For the first time in my life I have gotten a decent wash and go. I am sure with practice, I will get even better at doing it. 🤗🤗
I tried this method and this is the first time a wash and go has actually worked for me! Tysm! This is awesome!
Thanks for inventing the real wash and go i see people on utube use gell. Use their finger to separate strand by strand or a comb a bush to form curls you make it so simple and more healthy thanks you DICKEY i don't have to walk around with tore up hair looking dry and frizzy looking like a tumble weed thanks too you am doing the right thing thank you DICKEY your the man 👨
Im definitely gonna try this technique bcus aĺl the work of using eco styler and shingling is so time consuming and makes drying time a nightmare.
aqua fina ok so I just tried it, but I plopped with a microfiber towel instead. This is the first time I’ve ever done a wash and go AND been able to do my skincare and makeup at the same time. My hair was damp enough for me to just air dry if I wanted or diffuse. It’s dry and it isn’t even dark outside
I love this i been doing this for 3 week and my hair became soft and my curl are popping and my hair is thicker and it so fun to do and it cut so much time ❤❤❤ thank you for this
Are you doing this daily?
I am definitely trying this, conditioner, styling product and air dry because I hate sitting under a dryer
Thanks Dickey, my hair turned out awesome using this method, wow
Oh Wow! You have literally changed my life.
Very informative video.Her hair is beautiful!!!❤❤❤
I never seen natural look so good love her hair
Dickey’s a natural hair legend 🙌🏾! Nuff said
Best wash and go guide video ever. Thanks. Now I'll do wash and gos comfortably and worry free.
Yessss!!! Look at those curls. Love it.
Best video EVER!! Just tried it today and it was awesome!! So simple yet so pretty, never seen my curls like that💕
Karla Santanach did you use his products??
What products did you use?
I’m so glad I found this video it this method TOTALLY worked for me‼️❤️❤️❤️ and a 4c girl btw
What products did you use?
I've been using this method for a while now and I LOVE IT
I just did a 2nd bc TODAY! Bc I don't know how to keep my curls moist and.poppi like this! I wish I wouldv'e found this earlier..but I am on the ball now, THANK YOU!
I can say this works for my type 4 coily as hell hair! I was so amazed I’d never seen my hair so curly and defined 😍 such an easy process. I don’t have a hooded dryer however, so air drying time is annoying lol. Also, products I use leave white flakes in my hair when it dries; would you know why Dickey?
Lex N it would probably be the products you’re using that creates the white flakes. Try experimenting by mixing your leave-in with your styler on the back of your hand. If it looks like cottage cheese, it’ll cause white flakes. Hope this helps!!
Just tried this method today on my 4c hair, and I love the result! Used a little lotta body to help tame the flyaways.
From Puerto Rico. Thanks a lot. It work. I was close to chop all my hair but you save me. Thank!!!!
Her hair is gorgeous! Love it.
Thanks. Now I understand how to wash my natural hair. I have been wearing a wig because it is so much trouble trying to deal with the kinks. I’m going to try this. ❤
I have been doing my hair all wrong. I am about to go in the shower and do exactly what Dicky said to do
I love this guy!!! Dropping KNOWLEDGEEEEE. Thank you x
OMG Dickey My hair came out so amazing 🤩 I love it I always wondered why I loved conditioning vs the shampoo in my hair ❤
Just beautiful! Enjoyed!!!
This video helped me perfect my wash-n-go. Thank you for your expertise!🤗❤
I'll try it to see what it do. The back of my hair curl way more than the front. The front of my hair be having me ready to just give up & throw on my wig. But I want to get my natural hair to a point of wearing it more.
Her curls are popping!
Great tutorial. Now I know the mistakes Ive been making. Do you have a video on how to refresh day 2 wash and go. Usually my Day 2 is puffy and dry. Do I start all over again with washing etc?
Start over again and once a week hits shampoo and then the daily or every other day cowash happens
It works I tried it out tonight and my hair curled the way it needs to wow I’m amazed 🧐👌😁👌
D@mn, that twist out looked great! And it was shiny as well!
Learned something new. Thank you :)
