Do this in evening, sit under dryer to finish. With enough products in your hair, it can take HOURS for your hair to dry which can lead to fungal infections and hair breakage at the roots... Mold and fungi love dark, moist places. Thick wet products in your hair close to your scalp sets up the perfect condition for them to grow... Sister locks... 😊

Ok I’m not the only one

I’m a wash n go “type 4” natural. I pretty much exclusively wear my hair wash and go styles. I’ve done this for years. Air drying will not provide the best result. Drying the hair quickly provides the best result and yields less shrinkage. I skip the raw oils and products with oil high on the ingredients list *gasp* I know. I use gel. Gel will set your natural curls and prevent the matting and tangling. My wash n go lasts 5-7 days. Tangling is not an issue. The more you wear wash n go styles the better they get. It’s like my hair is trained now.

If you have visibly (key word is visibly) defined curls with low manipulation, you're not 4c, though. In the video, the woman even said she's 4b/4c, but ONLY included 4c in the title. This is what we mean when we say people are 4c baiting. I and the woman in this video have the exact same hair type. I was thrown for a loop when someone told me I wasn't 4c, but now I understand. I need people to stop gaslighting actual 4c women into thinking THEY'RE the crazy ones, when they're the ones who live with the stigma of their hair texture and they're the ones turning to KZread for help ONLY to be bombarded by women with 4b hair claiming they're 4c for clicks.

Did this experiment for fun. It’s light and meant to make you smile. I’m going to add this disclaimer “in case” someone watching this gets the wrong idea. I LOVE my hair. I don’t see shrinkage, the hair pattern, the fact that it gets dry, or the maintenance I choose to do to it as “cons” to having natural hair. It’s just what it happens to do and I love it for that. I’ve learned what my hair likes to do and what it doesn’t like. I have a routine that works for me, so this was very different. I don’t do wash n gos normally because I don’t really care about coil definition. 4c hair isn’t hard to take care of for me, but it does create comedic moments when I try to do something new. P.S. I know the majority of you will get the humor. If you want to know my true thoughts about my hair watch a few of my videos. In particular, “Stop saying 4c hair is hard to manage”. Love ya’ll! Be safe out there, okay.

Prior to getting locs, Hallease did this experiment years ago on 4c hair with the Anthony Dickey method. Started with a week, then two, then a month, then a year. Those videos are super old but worth watching and convinced me to wash n go for a year after my big chop. It’s a great way to learn about your hair, how it responds to water and products. If you don’t wash n go often, it takes a while for your hair to get used to it (wet styling and products). And you’re right. Tangles come from time not the style itself. Many type 4 naturals let their wash n go sit for way too long. I never go longer than 3 days without co-washing. Plus, the same way you have to cut your bone straight hair to get it hang a certain way, you have cut your fro into a shape for a wash n go. And the best way to dry type 4 hair (and get the least amount of shrinkage) is with a bonnet dryer or diffuser. Unless you have tapered cut, it won’t air dry the right way. That’s one reason the Deva Cut got so popular. This was a fun video ❤️

I cowash every 2 days (and shampoo once a week or so) and it takes 30 minutes; 40 on the days I shampoo.

@@ellegoddessessentials2547 What is your routine?

After I big chopped, I wore a wash n go everyday for a year. It made my 4a hair so soft. My hair grew like crazy and I retained the length.

The term "wash n go" is definitely an oversimplification of what really is a "set and wait" style. I don't even do this on wet hair anymore. Once my hair is washed, I moisturize, seal, then let dry. The next day once my hair is no longer wet but moisturized I apply a styler to set my natural curl pattern. I mist my hair as needed to aid the styling product along the stands. I apply the product root to tip, separating sections into small pieces for higher definition. Adding oil helps with separation. Sometimes, I use a comb to help disperse the product but that interrupts my natural curl pattern. Once I've finished applying the styler I lean forward and shake my hair so the strands separate further, and my hair stops looking like a helmet. I shake a few more times while standing. Let dry. Don't touch because frizz. That is my process for a "wash n go" 😁

Wash your hair, moisturize, come back when it’s dry and start applying your styler to small pieces for higher definition. Hair is basically dry by the time you finish your whole head...and I think it brings out definition more because the product can really cling to your strands versus all that water sliding it off

When you started with the products out of the shower, I was like "Nooooo!" You apply products in the shower on soaking wet hair. Conditioner to moisturize and define and gel to lock in the coil. Shake out your coils. And most importantly DONT TOUCH! You can use a diffuser but air drying is great too. This is coming from a fellow 4c. Keep your hands out of your hair when its drying and see the difference in definition.

A great tip is to moisturize and twists your hair at night. And then wet it separate and moisturize/ add styling products in the morning, one twist at a time. & then diffuse it with a blow dryer as you stretch it. It will define your curls & stretch your length at the same time. However WATER is key, like a lot of water. More water than your product, which will help distribute the product. I call that the “Wash & Stretch”

This was fun to watch, and you rocked every single hair from Day 1 to 7.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I’m in the process of gathering tips and ideas to start back mastering my wash and go again. I stopped for awhile on a regular basis but did them occasionally. Now I want to find what makes my hair stand out at its best. You were hilarious too.😂😂😏💖

Funny video, your facial expressions were dead on - lol. I went natural while living in Florida and it was the best thing I've ever done. It's been lot of trial and error including relying on butters and oils rather than moisture to condition my hair. My hair prefers water over products. But my second bestie would have to be conditioners, but you need pay attention to the ingredients - they are not all equal. I have some great for detangling before I wash my hair, some are protein infused, some have glycerin, and some have cleansing properties to help keep my scalp clean. A wash n go for me starts with dripping wet hair - I dont wring it out nor towel dry instead I step out the shower dry off my body and in that time any excess water in my hair has dried and Im ready to start styling. I set my hair with a syrup texture product to lock in the moisture and a gel or mousse to define my curls. In warm climates I can and love to wash n go everyday. Tip: section the hair into 2 or 3 sections using a puff cuff or elastic band small enough you dont have to double loop it and blow dry your roots or air dry for the first hour or so. Then after your roots are dry, more than not, take off the cuffs or elastic bands shake or pick out the parts lightly and air dry or diffuse the rest of the way. Living in Michigan now I wash n go once a week and refresh my hair with a braid or twist out week two then go back to full wash day starting week three. Maintaining natural curls and coils is a labor of love and experimentation❣

my hair always grows so much when i do this in the summer BUT the knots and tangles I get mean i lose all the growth anyway having to cut out tangles and knots over time.

Girrrrrrrl! I loved this video! I’m glad I’m not the only 4c who struggles to get the perfect wash n go!!!😩 😩😩Hats off to you for trying for a week 👍🏽 because I’ve just about given up! I think I’ll just stick with my twist outs. 😐

Finally someone with the same hair as me! I am so glad to find your channel!

Great video! You have beautiful coily hair. I'm a 4C with massive shrinkage too. I used to have very dry hair as well until I learned that with low porosity hair, adding the heavy butters and oils locks moisture in for the day but prevents new moisture from getting in. So, I don't use those anymore and may occasionally use olive oil, which keeps my hair moist for days. Deep treatments and steaming are game changers for improving moisture. Also using mousse first to stretch and define the hair, then follow up with any gel of your choice will give you a nice elongated defined wash and go. Good luck to you. We have to continue to share so we can learn from each other.

There is a salon @synergi salon that promotes daily washing. The owner Karen Gary posts videos weekly with tips and styling. I have tried daily washing but I didn't last more than a week myself. I understand it takes time, patience and appreciation of where you are.

finally a hair texture like my neice!!! thanks! ppl say they have 4c hair and it is not what i picture as dense 4c hair! been tryin to help her realize she can go natural !!

She can definitely go natural! That’s the first thing people with kinky hair say to me. It’s possible!!

Your son is freaking adorable! Thank you for showing this content. I have recently as in this week tried a wash n go for the 1st and 2nd time. lol

4b-4c hair completely defines. There is no set system in this video. There’s no strategy for washing or conditioning or anything. If you section your hair and not clump product in it and try finding a system that works for your hair the process would be simple. I have 4b-4c hair and i wash and go frequently.

I wash n go weekly, occasionally I do a midweek cowash when needed but it has taken me a many many months to find products that work and are hydrating and perfect my technique. I have very tightly coiled hair and I didn’t think I could do a wash n go but everything changed in my hair life when I found good products and omitted oils.

I'm a new subscriber and half way through this video I was thinking "She's destroying her hair...for us..... awww" 🤗😍 You just showed us how ridiculous we act doing this same thing each week. I need to step my game up!

You are so funny, I kept a silly smile on my face throughout the video, which is refreshing. You remind me of the Mowery sisters you're so pretty. And that baby is so adorable! New subbie💕

I am a wash and go every 2 days during this quarantine, but I just use shampoo once a week . I wash my 4c hair with conditioning

Latoya applying Eco: how much am I supposed to put on? Me applying Eco: uses a quarter of the tub

The shrinkage was so significant. I love seeing this representation on my home page

OMG!!!! I loved this video!!!! The best washing go video that I have seen thus far!!! I go thru this all the time...if I let it air dry. If I sit under a dryer or use a diffuser...I get way better results!

Y’all see Mowrey sisters, I see KZread’s Monroe sisters. LaToya could be an additional sister, for real.

Two words. Hair grease. Applied to wet hair, before products, preferably containing some waxy ingredients (like Dax) . Grease is your friend for moisture retention.

@@jbb8261 That's Soo cool! Although I do love wash days and my hair may need more time to manage I still love it. Besides, I've thought that ladies with type 4 hair that can wash their hair not in Twists and air dry is like a super power. 😆 If I tried I'd likely regret every moment of it later.

Your little one is such a cutie. My hair looks like yours, but it looks great on you! Maybe because your face is pretty...it looks horrible on me (when I try to do wash n gos). I think I will stick with twists.

Thank you kindly for doing this exercise. I would say that you wash-n-go looked great each day!

When I would do twist outs I had to wait two days for my hair to dry in twists. May hair does better without the use of hair dryers. To be able to wash, deep condition, and set my hair once a week in its natural pattern is a very low manipulation style. Botanical custards like Uncle Funky's Daughter curly magic and Kinky Curly Custard spread easier throughout the hair than heavy gels. They're also more concentrated and with lots of water you use less product. All I need through the week is my bonnet, and satin scrunchies to maintain my style at night. I've learned that wash and go's are a great way to moisture train your natural hair. More moisture, less tangles and more length retention.

My recommendation is use Antony Dickey's Wash N Go method. It's very easy and gets great results very consistently. It helped me out a lot and I don't have to do much, it's really suited for my lazy approach lol

Your video is great because I can relate. I couldn't figure out who you remind me of as I look at your video and it came to me. Has anyone told you resemble Essence Atkins from Half & Half, Smart Guy and Girlfriends' Getaway.

You have a very awesome sense of humor.

You’re the closest person I’ve seen with my hair type and I’m just trying to find ways to keep it moisturized since it gets dry and brittle so fast. I hate wash and go’s but I think I’ll give them a try more since we are in quarantine

I wish someone taught me how to do/take care of me my hair growing up, I’m currently transitioning with type 4 hair and I’m already getting discouraged I have no idea what to do with it when it’s out of braids :(

Banding for me has been a Godsend😇. I’m a type 4 errrythang a, b, and c. I do wash n go’s during warmer months and when I get in a routine my hair gets used to it and it’s less time. But stretching it by doing a pineapple or banding really keeps my hair from getting matted. I also have to remember to keep my hands out of it so it lasts longer. I use a lot of what you used such as the As I Am and Kinky Curly but instead of ecostyler I use Camille Rose Curlmaker which I ❤️. And I always use a good oil to seal. Thanks for making good content 👍🏽’s up.

LaToya Ebony Girl the curlmaker and moisture milk are my forever in my stash from the Camille Rose line. I even use the curlmaker for braid outs. When I band I don’t do it tight so I keep a lot of definition and stretches my hair so it doesn’t tangle. Wash n go’s can be a beast with tangles🤦🏽‍♀️😇

I don't like doing true wash n gos anymore because not only is the shrinkage disrespectful, but like you said the detangling session afterwards is HELL. I'm not a fan of letting my hair shrink to its full extent so if I want to wear it out I stick to stretched styles like braid-outs. Thanks for the experiment, it was fun to see!
