Thank you for watching! I got you! My biggest tip is making sure you are emulsifying the product A LOT and applying it on soaking wet hair. I learned through watching stylists that I was raking way too much. I needed to incorporate a lot more smoothing during the application process.

Cannot tell you how ecstatic I am to have found your channel! I have high porosity hair and have desperately been waiting for someone to address my unique concerns re holding onto moisture/hydration without a leave-in/butter/oil. The fact you mentioned UFD and ICH have oils in them and help the hair hold onto water makes so much sense!

Very pretty WnG!💜 So similar to my own, and our techniques are also about the same. I don't live in a humid area so I can use UFD as a one-and-done. I learned mine from Albena years ago, her channel is Embrace Natural Beauty, but I also follow the newer stylists.

@@itstruedestiny We have a few humid days during summer, and I will use ICH on those days. So far this summer I haven't used it, and last summer I think I used it maybe three times.

I love this. I’m going to try using the inner sense with UFD and the Ouidad. I’ve been using just UGD and Ouidad and feel like it’s not clumping my curls enough. But it could be the way that I’m raking too far along in the process and disturbing the clumps. This is certainly a learning curve.

@itstruedestiny

2 жыл бұрын

It is definitely a learning curve! The innersense is thicker and could probably help the curls naturally clump together.

Looking at you and some others I think I need to smooth even more than I already do and I need to be open to layering products because I very much so love a one product and go.

@itstruedestiny

I need to know how you sleep in wash and go’s😩. I started to wash my hair weekly and abandon oils and butters about 8 months ago and my wash and gos are amazing the night before the next day the it’s all misshapen an all over the place🥲 I don’t know what I’m doing wrong they start off almost exactly like yours but the next day it’s ruined already I have been using the method of putting your hair into a puff using a silk scarf but I think it’s causing my hair to stay stuck in that position once I take it off lol any tips to stop this would be helpful

@itstruedestiny

Жыл бұрын

I absolutely understand what you’re saying. Try wearing your scarf the other way instead of a pineapple so the roots are able to stay flat. In the morning, you should be able to do a little fluff in the morning. Some stylists recommend using a buff. You can probably buy one on Amazon. I wear a bonnet sometimes when I’m too lazy to wear my scarf. If you do wear a scarf we’re your hair fills up the entire bonnet. For ex if you have short hair don’t wear an xl bonnet. It gives the hair move to move around and get “stuck” upwards. Hope this helps 💕

I find that it really helps with the humidity here in the south. It is just too muggy 😩😭

We have very different hair types (I’m a super coarse super dense loose curly) but I’ve also been on this no oil no butter high quality product journey, and my hair has changed so much for the better. I’m a cosmetologist but listen not all cosmetologists are created equal! I don’t know nearly enough to be a specialist, esp because cosmetology schools tend to neglect textured hair education or their education is bad (loc method, no shampoo, etc). I’ve been looking for a styling routine for when I go to the Philippines this summer, and I may have to try this! I just need to pick up ouidad. My issue is also that I cannot stop touching my hair. I’m autistic and my most natural stim is touching my hair 😭 I’ve done it my whole life and it like is physically difficult to not do it

Idk what I’m doing wrong but my wash and go ALWAYS comes out hard. I use UFD and ICH. Do I just need to use more water?? Or less of one of the two products?? Heeelp 😭

Technically you want somewhat of a gel cast for style longevity but I’m with you. I don’t necessarily care for hard crunchy wash and gos. I use a lot of water when styling. I probably don’t use as much ICH as I seen other stylists and creators use. Also, these products may not be for you and your hair preferences. You may need to look for another product combo that gives you consistent results that you love. I love a good wash and go with the Doux Mousse Def in the colder months. It gives me a nice soft-medium hold with a quick dry time and no crunch.

is this better than the eco styling gel method? 🤔

@itstruedestiny

2 жыл бұрын

It definitely is! The majority of gels I’m using are botanical gels which helps with hydration and doesn’t lead to buildup. The gels I’m using are formulated with high quality ingredients and curls in mind. Eco tends to cause build up and scalp irritation. It doesn’t offer lasting hold. It is not formulated with quality ingredients at all. Literally trash. I believe there was a class action lawsuit a few years ago surrounding the ingredients and possible links to cancer. Not to mention the owners of eco are extremely racist and misogynistic.

Nice but too many steps for me to do regularly
