Winter Wash N Go

I have a love affair with wash n gos. I admit it. 

The girl who used to loathe them because they just did not look right has now a thing for em. 

I love seeing my actual curl pattern(s). This was achieved using Miss Jessie's Curly Meringue as a styler.
I think I may like their stylers for winter wash n gos.. well some. 

I used Tresemme Naturals as a leave in ..eh. 

I prefer using the Mixed Silk.. hair feels more moisturized. 

This was probably day 2/3 after being outside in the wind and rain.

I like to do my wash n go's when its cold outside the day before I plan on rocking it.

So I do it the afternoon before, giving it time to fully dry before heading out.

I apply a leave in and seal with oil before applying the styler.

I applied the Meringue in four sections.

Shrinkage at it's finest!

Back in the day, the shrinkage was too real. I don't even hate shrinkage but the different curls I have in my head.. man I couldn't rock WnGs after awhile. Right when I BC'd? sure. but then my hair grew..

Anyways.. WnG is a style I now rock.

Love wash n gos? Rock them in winter?

Wash N Go YO

So for this summer, I've been doing a lot of wash n gos. For this past year really. 

I never really did a lot of wash n gos in the past due to the varying curl patterns in my head and length at the time. After about a 2 months or so from my BC, the shape looked so awkward. 

Whenever I did one, I either pinned both the sides back or wore a headband. 

So mullet looking.. lol. I promise it looked a tad better later on

Never ever could I wear it out by itself. So last year I started doing them more and this year a bit more because of how much my hair has grown. It doesn't look weird. Well sometimes the curls by my temple (which are the loosest curls) can hang lower than the rest then its just off but I can always fluff to hide that.

So in the Summer Product Post here, the styling products you see are what I use. I just mix a combo of them.

This wash n go is the Curl & Style Milk, Smoothie & then "sealed" with the Beautiful Curls Curl Custard.

I re wet my hair and applied the Garnier to my hair.. finger detangled for a lil bit (like 5 mins tops) then rinsed. 

Look out for my vid on the diff combos I use for wash n gos!

Have you been doing wash n gos for the summer? Do you like them?

Co-Wash Crazy

Hello Lovelies!

I wanted to touch on the subject of co-washes. Naturals all over co-wash as a way of cleansing their hair without stripping it of moisture. Traditionally one would use a rinse out conditioner to do this but hair product companies have formulated their own co-washes for us ladies to use & abuse.

I was never a fan of traditional co washing because the conditioners always left a residue on my scalp and it was just a big no no. In previous posts, if I ever said I co washed, I really just applied the conditioner to my hair alone. With the insurgence of co-washes, I was eager to try some but never really bit the bullet until last summer. I tried the infamous As I Am Coconut Cowash (2 uses) & one that isn't classified as a co wash but a cleansing cream. The Keracare Cleansing Cream.

There are actually co-washes I had my eye on for the summer

Shea Moisture Coconut & Hibiscus Co-Wash Conditioning Cleanser

Eden Bodyworks Coconut Shea All Natural Cleansing CoWash

Cantu Conditioning Co Wash

but I went to the one I had the most experience with which was the Keracare Cleansing Cream.

I will do a review on this soon so look out! & 

hopefully I'll get to do a Compare & Contrast Review on YouTube with it & another product I have my eye on.

Do you co-wash? Which products are your go-to if you do? If you don't, why not?

Would love to hear from you!
