[@RachealAkua]

Will try to!

[@yupyup7571]

Yes skincare

[@DAILYLAUWIE243]

I just incorporated gloves in my natural hair routine, it helps a LOT . I would usually get really dried hands and more breakage but now I'm good plus it helps when it comes to finger detangling ! By the way your hair look so good as always!!

[@LisaPATZ_]

As soon as she applied the gelle, I opened a new tab and looked for where to buy it 😂 that definition is EVERYTHING 👏🏾

[@RachealAkua]

😂😂😂 you’ll love it!

[@vaneshcaa]

Coming back to this video to say I bought these two products because of you and when I tell you, the besttttt wash and go! Definition for dayssss but still soft, and the smell lasts for ages too. I found that using a leave in (Keracare), followed by the curl definer then the S Curl activator and finally the gelle worked amazingly

Gurl i literally just liked the video and subscribed to your channel! When i watch your videos i get inspired because i know our hair is beautiful in our most natural form. I’m currently almost a year natural.

[@MrsXx]

I love your lil coils! Beautiful thick hair😍

[@lauren6771]

You should try Olaplex number 3 to see if it can make your wavy strands curl better! I’ve been natural for almost two and a half years and I always thought I was 4b/4c and olaplex made me realize I’m strictly 4b!

[@RachealAkua]

Ooh I’ll try that and see

[@daisyflower1545]

I love wash n gos and I have type 4 hair! I love watching your videos and your hair is gorgeous

[@RachealAkua]

Thank you hun ❤️

[@memim6621]

Heyyyy😊 so nice to see a fellow Brit 🇬🇧 with a natural hair channel ❤️. Your hair looks gorgeous. I've used both these products, but for me, they didn't work well together. My hair was over moisturised and didn't hold the curl. I use the Curl Definer with Wetline, when I can get it at a reasonable price. The Hold Me Down Gelle is one of my favourite gels. I love how it clumps my curls. It makes doing WnGs a breeze, but I definitely have to use a moisturising leave-in with it. I've used her leave-in from the same line, but I've run out now. I'll have to see how it mixes with something else. Thanks for sharing 👍🏾🖤

[@leah9812]

Oh my days!! My hair texture is just like yours - obv not as long!!! Thank God found you on tiktok! Gonna be following you sis! Been 2 years now growing - love it 😍

[@RachealAkua]

I got it off eBay!

[@anne-marie7699]

I would love to have a successful wash and go but the majority of my hair is 4b and is just frizzy and kind of loose and it neverrr curls. So I've given up LOL but your results are beautiful 🥰

[@Jelly-hq7ug]

A section of my hair is 4b soo I get it😭

[@Regularblackgirl]

Have you tried applying your leave in in the shower on wet (not dripping) hair?

[@roseyposeyloposey1]

@ Yinesakia stick with it. I'm sure most wash & go masters experienced awful wash & gos at the onset before it got better. I find consistently attempting/wearing the Wash and Go style along with technique & hydration helps immensely with creating coil/curl memory. With regard to technique, it will depend on your desired or natural coil/curl pattern on what's best. Most likely the rake and shake technique will work for you. Also hydrated textured hair will define overtime usu. because of the use of more water more often as coils/curls thrive on moisture. I hope this helps.

[@RachealAkua]

Don’t give up 😭 it took me ages to finally start loving wash and gos. I agree with @regularblackgirl, try apply all your products in the shower

[@vaneshcaa]

@@roseyposeyloposey1 you're completely right. I've been primarily wearing wash and gos for a year now. If you compared my hair texture then vs now, you would legit think it's a different head of hair, but hydration, moisture, technique and a consistent routine make a world of a difference, it's insane. I think curl memory is a thing as well, since my hair is always in a wash and go now it knows what to do lol

[@justdoit.86yearsago]

This looks really good my wash and go’s always seem to frizz up immediately. I prefer the Anthony dicky for longer lasting curls

[@sharagabriel8031]

Hey Rachael, you're a beauty, God made you wonderfully! Never forget that. Quick question: which Lipgloss do you use?

[@AngellaMarieTV]

The front of my hair has a loser curl pattern. I also upload KZbin videos and so many people think I have heat damage. I did a big chop and growing my hair back now I think the back is growing with that same texture as the front. Weird right ?!? Anyway , I enjoy your videos. So happy I found your channel!

[@hayabusahime]

You're not alone . My hair is primarily type 4 but in the very front of my hair its one little section of loose type 3 curls. I thought for the longest that I had heat damage but the curl is the same consistency down the strand.

[@RachealAkua]

Thank you!! I’ll check out your channel too ❤️

[@AngellaMarieTV]

@@RachealAkua Thanks love.

[@AngellaMarieTV]

@@hayabusahime Sounds so familiar. My hair was like that too. But at the time I didn’t really know about our hair having different curl patterns so at the time I was trying to figure out that the heck was happening ! lol

[@emmanuellao2248]

This thing scared me when I big chopped so I kept cutting, then I gave up and let it grow. I realized that the rest of my head is 3c but that front middle spot is probably 3b because it's looser. 😅 learning new things

How do you preserve your wash and go at night to avoid shrinkage?

[@RachealAkua]

I actually want it to shrink since at work I can’t wear my hair out if it’s below my neck 😅 but to stretch it you can use the banding method

[@_themodernnatural]

@@RachealAkua Oh alright, thanks 🙏🏾

[@NinthJewel]

It’s like winter now in the Uk , do you still rock wash & gos In winter ?

Yep! But I don’t use gel so it’s easier to co-wash/moisturise my hair mid week

Hey, pls help me, my very thick hair is very difficult to detangle, especially in the shower. I am transitioning and I also apply leave in and mosturize but it is still hard to detangle even after it has dried so can you please help?

[@dawndesson5445]

Stay in the shower and use plenty of warm water (as warm as you like) and plenty of a good conditioner, squish it into your hair and then start to detangle from the tip working up to the root. I find finger detangling then using a detangling brush is much better. Do it in sections, twist and move onto the next section. If you have enough water and conditioner it should be making a mess of your shower cubicle. Try it....

Totally random? But do you use African Black soap on your skin? And if you do where do you order it from?
