I’ve been using only gels as well and it seems to be keeping my hair moisturized. I shampoo and deep condition weekly. I use dove shampoo and currently using shea moisture manuka hair mask to empty the container. My stylers are uncle funky curly magic first then I top it off with wet line extreme. I apply the uncle funky in the shower so my hair is soaking wet. Once out the shower, I will apply the wet line. I have type 4 hair so my shrinkage is very disrespectful so by adding the curly magic on soaking wet hair allows my hair to hold onto to that moisture so once I add the wetline, I don’t have to spray my hair with water because it’s still wet. I will sit under the hair dryer for 30 minutes. The outside will be dry but the roots will be wet. I will use a diffuser on medium warm and do the blow down method until the roots are dry. I will section off my hair and band the sections to keep my hair stretched. The next day when taking out the bands I will apply a dab of silk therapy it’s the Sally beauty brand chi silk infusions to each section while taking them down and this will ensure that humidity won’t shrink my hair my hair up too fast lol. Those silicones in the silk therapy will block the Humidity for a while. On the fourth day, I will co wash basically just wetting my hair in the shower, adding curly magic. Outside the shower add the wetline. So far so good and my hair has movement!My shrinkage will have my coils above my ears if I let it. Sometimes I rock the shrunken look, it just depends on how I’m feeling on that wash day. Hope this helps someone who is struggling with their coils 😍😍

Hey I wanted to come back and give you an update. Im only using three things in my hair. Shampoo Conditioner, and gel, and this is working perfectly. NO OILS, BUTTERS, CREAMS, OR LEAVE IN CONDITIONERS. I have switched Shampoo to Pureology which is much more hydrating. The Eco Styler Gel is not drying at all, even after a week, so you really don't need the leave in, Just moisturizing shampoos and conditioners

If a gel makes your hair dry, use a leave in conditioner or a moisturizer under that gel to combat the dryness. I don't have a specific gel to recommend because at this time, I'm not using gels in my hair. However, these are the gels I have in my stash and have used: Ecostyler, Urban Hydration Honey Laid & Slayed Pro Gel, Quidad Advanced Climate Control, and Aveda Curl Gelee. I hope this helps!

@radiantbeauty-evelyn

2 жыл бұрын

Nono depends on your hair and the kind of products you use for a wash and go. Most gels on the market are drying on the hair which can cause breakage. Make sure you use something to help buffer the dryness that some gels may cause. I experimented with not using a leave-in conditioner for a few months. I learned that my hair does best when I use a leave-in or moisturizer. I don't do protective styles, but I do keep my hair moisturized and stretched by twisting, braiding, or blow-drying. You don't have to do protective styles for your hair to grow. Your hair is always growing.😊 The question should be, How will I retain length? And you can most definitely retain length without doing protective styling. Thanks for the question!🌻
