Yesterday, I decided to use one of my passes in my hair challenge to make a very last attempt at a wash and go on my 4c hair…………….. and I don’t think I can go back to bunning!!!!!! My hair surprised the crap out of me by giving life with frizz-free defined coils and waves:
I followed my regular wash process with one exception, I finger detangled before washing and while DCing. Then I did the usual:
- Apply Aussie Moist Conditioner and finger detangle
- Shampoo with Qhemet Cleansing Tea
- Shampoo with Ouidad Curl Co-Wash
- Oil Rinse with Rice Bran Oil
- DC with Qhemet Moringa Tree Conditioning Ghee and finger detangle
- Apply Oyin Honey Hemp Conditioner as Leave-In
- Apply Xtreme Wetline Gel and Garnier Pure Clean Gel to define
I then sat under my hooded dryer for 30 minutes and then I left my house. The inner portions of my hair were not dry, just the outside. To give perspective, this is what my Wash N Go’s usually look like:
I’ve used Fantasia IC Gel, Eco Styler, and more, but this combo was the first and only time I was able to define my coils without frizz and without a ton of shrinkage. As I was applying the Xtreme gel I was amazed that my usual coils and waves were not coming out nearly as frizzy as usual. I was able to separate my strands without too much frizz, and then the Pure Clean Gel got rid of any frizz I created while separating and adding shine.
It’s still shrinking, so I am sure it will look much shorter in the front on Day 2, but I am not losing coil separation or getting any additional frizz as it dries! This is a game-changer for me! Now I just have to hope that I can duplicate these results next wash day *crosses fingers*
