I like how thorough this video was from start to finish.

[@TheKhrissss]

I really appreciate that feedback because I was worried that the video was too long 😩

[@JustTanoe]

@@TheKhrissss I appreciate you taking the time to film this. I can see how challenging it can be to try and fit all the essential information in a short video but it is hard to get everything in without making it feel rushed. This was good.

I loved this video!! Thank you so much for sharing - you gave me such great tips!! The real time detangling was 👌🏾😃

[@TheKhrissss]

Yaaaay! Thank you! I’m so glad it was helpful! 🥲

[@miniminott48]

Your hair is simply gorgeous!!!!😍😍😘😘

[@TheKhrissss]

Thank you! 🥲

[@Offthebeatenpath.]

I think I was missing the gel, I have to try some of these products!

[@TheKhrissss]

YES! Uncle Funky’s Daughter Curly Magic is a great place to start 😉

[@lizzieclay6774]

Get it girl. Your hair is beautiful.

[@TheKhrissss]

Thank you so much!

[@shydoll1744]

I bought a little basket to carry my products in. Great tip adding conditioner to ends of hair to allow time to get to place where I detangle. Wash hour was a lot smoother.

[@TheKhrissss]

I’m glad you’re having smoother wash days!

[@maylavernebarnes2007]

Beautiful hair results! Glad to see I am not the only one that rotates herself under the hooded dryer. 😅

[@TheKhrissss]

Thanks so much for watching! It’s so funny that you mention that because I actually washed my hair this morning and as I was sitting under the dryer and rotating I was wishing someone would go on and come up with a jumbo hooded dryer 😩😂

[@psr076]

Thanks for sharing in real time. I've seen a lot of people using both products but watching you now I get how to use both products. Yesterday I got my first curly cut ever. I had a full session of wash and did a wash n go. I thought I was using a lot of water but I realized I was not. It was to point that I felt my hair was heavy and it made an huge difference. I bought the uncle funcky and the I create hold last night. It'S my second try with the uncle funcky's gel. I need to use another gel because otherwise my wash n go doesn't last (it acts like a leave like you said). Thanks again !

[@TheKhrissss]

Ahhhh! I’m so excited for you! How do you like your curly cut so far? Even still to this day I think I MAY need to work on my water to product ratio but this is what I got so far 🤷🏽‍♀️. I think you’ll notice a nice difference with the ICH

[@psr076]

@@TheKhrissss I love it . I couldn’t go before because of the Rona. We had a lot of restrictions (🇨🇦 more in my province.. Quebec) and I didn’t feel safe. My hair is trim so easier wash session (detangling was long but I would my hair under 2 hours )

[@MsKarenDavis]

It looks so easy lol. I'm always separating everything from tip to root and it doesn't even look this good.

[@TheKhrissss]

Aww thank you! See Some Curls might be a good resource for you to help perfect your technique!

[@majormediaproductions]

Hi Khistian👋🏾❤ I love your hair. This wash and go is everything 🤩🤩🤩 I noticed that you add alot of water to your hair to the point you can hear its squish. How do you prevent hygral fatigue when you do your wash n go with no oils or butters? I've gotten hygral fatigue twice since my natural hair journey :(

I hope it helps!!

[@rosieamelia5955]

Nice job, love how you explained everything

[@TheKhrissss]

Thank you so much!

[@xbajah]

i’m amazed how fast you detangled! i still struggle with that a lot. how long did it take you from start to finish? and how long did you sit under the dryer?

[@TheKhrissss]

From start to finish including whatever drying time I can stand lol I would say 2 hours max. I will usually sit under the dryer for at least 30 minutes to an hour and whatever isn’t dry by then (usually the roots at the back and sometimes the crown) will get with my handheld dryer. Do you think maybe it’s time for a trim to help with detangling and getting through your ends? Or maybe a little more water would help?

[@andie9762]

Thank you for sharing.

[@makeupfan84]

Thank you for this video! My conditionning process has way more conditionner (all over my shower) as Aisha recommand, use what you need...right :)

[@TheKhrissss]

Thank you for watching! And Yes! Your conditioner will last WAAAAY longer.

[@toshiareneexv]

This video gave me life. I had given up on Uncle Funkys but seeing your application method helped me so much. Made the mistake of using pineapples as a stylist told me and got some indentions over night but heading to REI to grab a couple of buffs today!

[@TheKhrissss]

I’m so glad and thank you for watching! And omg YES! I never knew how to preserve my hair overnight before and I tried everything including the pineapple which left the dents, I tried banding which also left dents and even a regular ol bonnet but that slid around and would come off sometimes 😩. I didn’t know REI carried buffs- I’ve been wanting to go for camping gear but this just confirms I need to hurry on up 💁🏽‍♀️😂

[@toshiareneexv]

@@TheKhrissss i was just googling where i could get them locally and found it. I’m going to get my steamer out to loosen the indentions. Finding your IG and watching your video made my weekend!

[@TheKhrissss]

@@toshiareneexv I really appreciate that! 🥹 best of luck with your hair journey!

[@SherrelleWright]

I can't seem to keep my hair flat at night. How do you keep it from looking matted to your head throughout the week? Lol

[@TheKhrissss]

I use a hair buff at night and just shake it out in the mornings. If you go to 1:06 in my week in my wash n go video, I show ya 🤓

[@karenlesane4829]

O and you also help clear up me being confused on which product is the leave in conditioner lol. Which is the UFD. Because I was like where does the leave come in? So thank you for that. Perhaps I should mention that I'm new at doing the 30 day detox. I've been doing it for about 2 months now. And I have a curl specialist now and I'm still trying to get used to this new (for me) process and trusting it for that matter lol.

[@TheKhrissss]

I’m telling you- you just gotta get beyond the initial learning curve and it will all be worth it in the end! 👌🏽happy detoxing! 🤓

[@akosuamroney]

I love your video! I was curious about doing the no oils and butters because my scalp itch so much when I use them. Your video made it look so easy and I'm going to try it. Shaking your hair at the end before drying is not necessary for these wash and got?

[@TheKhrissss]

Thanks so much for watching! A little shake at the end won’t hurt! 🤓

[@katinakellum9559]

Great video! I learned some tricks for my next set. I use UFD and ICH exclusively now...wondering if I should try Bamboo Ginseng for extra hold this summer and in my problem areas, like you. Thanks for sharing!

[@TheKhrissss]

Thank you! I hope it helps!! And I had to use UFD and ICH exclusively for a few months because the Bamboo Ginseng was out of stock everywhere and I can definitely tell a difference when I use all 3 vs just the two. Don’t get me wrong, UFD AND ICH are a great duo but I think the Bamboo Ginseng is the icing on the cake 👌🏽

[@naturalcurls4life576]

@@TheKhrissss That’s the salon I was considering. I live in Jonesboro. At least now seeing your curls and progress puts me at ease a little. Thanks for sharing.

[@karenlesane4829]

Omggggg I do the same thing when I wash my hair as far as washing it in the kitchen sink first...then do the conditioning/detangling in the bathroom.... then I hop in the shower to do the rest. For me its much easier lol. Your hair looks amazing. Now I have a question. When doing the raking method to form ur curls does it cause frizz? I was told it does. But that's the way I like to do my hair as well to get the most curl definition. What's ur take on that?🤔😁

[@TheKhrissss]

Omg I am so late with this reply but I haven’t noticed that raking caused frizz at all. In fact, I find the opposite- it helps with clumping and less frizz

[@tonyac4289]

What do you find works best for a twistout for the colder weather coming up soon, besides a foam?

[@TheKhrissss]

I actually still like the foam! I like to set my hair with the mousse and I find that it works better if it’s set under the dryer BUT if you want something a little heavier my second favorite is the Camille Rose Naturals Almond Jai Twisting Butter 🤓

[@lameshahale2990]

I don’t follow the no oils or butters regimen, so this may just be me. But it appears to me that after you guys do your wash & go’s, everyone’s hair shape & clumping looks the same. Like everyone has the same curl pattern. Is that from using the same products maybe?

[@TheKhrissss]

That’s an interesting observation! I think many of the curls look elongated due to the products but I wouldn’t say we all have the same curl pattern- Aside from wet hair, I think as the wash n gos get older you can definitely see how they aren’t all the same 🤓

[@lameshahale2990]

@@TheKhrissss Ahhhh I see!!! I have only seen it when they initially do the wash & go. So maybe over time the curls relax more. Your hair is beautiful by the way.

[@TheKhrissss]

@@lameshahale2990 that’s just my theory lol. And thank you!!!

[@kammarajackson1360]

Thanks for sharing your routine…pretty much the same as what I do. I am wondering why you don’t shampoo in shower? A lot of people have the preference to shampoo in the sink and I always wonder why?

[@TheKhrissss]

LOL that is a great question! 😩😂There are times where I will get in the shower and decide to wash from there so I’ll ask my husband to bring my hair bucket and I will shampoo and do the whoooooole routine (including gel application) in shower but I think with shampooing in the sink and being able to detangle and condition outside of the shower too I don’t have to spend so much time in the shower and waste so much water. Plus when I condition and detangle outside of the shower I tend to get a chore or two done in between conditioning and rinsing 😩🤷🏽‍♀️

[@janiceedwards9177]

I notice you don’t do a lot of raking and smoothing once you have applied both gels.

[@TheKhrissss]

…is that a bad thing? 👀😅

[@PreppyFay12]

I don’t either. I actually prefer the look of it not being too defined so I can get more volume. Also I don’t lose as much hair as when I rake because I bust up my curl clumps and it breaks so much of my hair up.

[@TheKhrissss]

@@PreppyFay12 ahhh! so more raking = more definition and less volume?

[@PreppyFay12]

@@TheKhrissss Yeah so not a hard and fast rule but it appears volume and definition are kind of opposite or two lines going in different directions on a graph. So when my hair is more clumped together and held tightly my hair appears to be less dense as my hair isn’t allowed to take up more space in the air it’s being weighed and held tightly by my styling agent. Where as not as many clumps my hair is able to take up more space as well as more hair can stand on top of another. I think having a certain shape where my hair is cut/layered in a way in which hair stands on top of each other also lends itself to me getting a fuller look.

[@TheKhrissss]

@@PreppyFay12 ahhhh!! Thank you for clearing this up!!! I do notice sometimes that I get a different result and I will smooth in larger sections when I am hurt trying to hurry and be done with my hair but when I really take my time I tend to do smaller sections and I never made the connection that that’s why 😩
