Been doing this simple hair care since March and my hair has been thriving. I love my wash and gos even more now that I have a cute shape. A lot of people don’t realize how important a shape is to making a wash and go pop!!

I discovered this by accident. I was washing my hair in my kid’s shower and left my leave in conditioner in my shower. I refuse to track across the house for my leave-in. Therefore, all I had was gel and it’s been the best thing ever. All accidents aren’t bad!

@Dez1122 жыл бұрын
Yep, I was going gel only wash and gos for a while, now I have transitioned to moisture only lol. Sometimes I still do gel only, or I do a really light gel. It has my hair big, shape on fleek, and curls popping. All of these products have never been necessary. Plus you save a lot more money when you keep it simple.
@Laysplace232 жыл бұрын
Humectant gels specifically are the move and a gel cast is not dry hair 😂 I see a few of those comments. You can break the cast or use less hold gels but your hair won’t live in the set as long. But yea. Get y’all some humectant gels and quit wasting money lol

I have started doing the same thing. However, I do co wash daily and shampoo weekly. I've been saying for the longest time, I really don't need to use anything but gel in my hair. Especially since I co wash daily. It has made a huge difference. Another thing I also do is use the gel on damp hair. Thanks for this

You make soooo much sense. I was using creme, oil, grease and then gel. Wayyyyy too much products.. I thought the more the better. My hair lays down with no frizz using gel only. When I use creams,butters and oils my curls aren't defined or sleek just greasy and unkept like I barely did anything to my hair. All of the extra weighs my hair down. Olive eco styler gel works for me because one of the ingredients in it is glycerin and that's moisturizing.
@tatianamato81952 жыл бұрын
When I first became natural I used a leave in and a curl cream. I’m 4 years in my hair journey and now only style my hair with a moisturizing leave in and gel. And my hair is flourishing and not dry I was the same way I thought my hair would be dry. I still use a leave in because I have thick 4a hair and my hair loves extra moisture. I use a liquid leave in spray so that my hair is light and not weighed down.

I’ve never used cream stylers, my hair can’t take heavy creams or even leave-in’s because my strands are thin, so my wash and go’s are wash, deep condition, lots of water 💦 and high quality botanical gels. Period! I’ve never related to girls using 3 stylers… And no, my curls are not dry because I’m low porosity so hydration stays in, but I also don’t use co-wash, I wash my hair everything penetrates better !

Even when the influencers love them my hair doesn’t. Then I have some that no matter what my hair loves the gel and leave in combo. Also it depends on what you’re going for. Kinky curly gives me crunch and Camille Rose gives me fluffy. It’s all about what you like. Also the weather. I never use a gel or leave in that has glycerin when I know it’s going to rain. It always ends up in a puff. Hopefully that helps.
