IN DEPTH wash and go styling techniques for curl definition and volume for | type 3 & 4 hair

[@TheNenaBrown]

I apply my products on very wet hair but not dripping bc to me it just makes the product slide off & that's wasteful... & I also prefer warm water bc cold water just seals off the cuticle so moisture isn't really getting in.. But I definitely agree that my best wash n gos start with very wet hair.. 🖤

[@Laysplace23]

Still watching, but this looks like the best wash and go I’ve seen on your longer hair! 🔥🔥

[@AlyssaMarieXo]

i’m telling y’all, the trim was NEEDED 😩👏🏾

[@cameciam.1532]

#wetterisbetter ! Yesss I love it. I must commend how much effort you put into your videos. The detail, the quality... everything! I LOVE IT HERE 😍

[@AlyssaMarieXo]

and the subscriber of the day goes to you!! lol thank you so much 🥰💗

[@cameciam.1532]

❤️❤️❤️@@AlyssaMarieXo Thank you🥺

[@pinktsunami7483]

Does that work for braid/twist outs?

[@myty97]

Styling on soaking wet hair really has changed my wash and gos for the better. I don't overuse the product which keeps my curls happy and my wallet happy too 😂

[@jessicasopolis3904]

Gorgeous results! Adorable doggo! Must pet!!! ❤

[@rosetime1650]

I've been styling my hair soaking wet since watching your videos...its an absolute game changer!!

[@ttlicious]

You’re right when you said your hair needs to be drenched before application of product. The Demen brush works wonders on my hair that has stubborn curls

[@catherinebutler3003]

Really nice results! Watching your video reminded me about the sound that we should hear when our hair is hydrated. This was truly like a tutorial, which will help a lot of curlies with their wash n go. I need to give myself more time to complete the whole process. I need more than one day and usually don’t feel like dealing with it again the next day to put my products in. It’s challenging when dealing with chronic pain but, if I want to stop excessive shedding I have to push through. Dehydration on a regular basis overtime results in excessive shedding, which I can see the difference in (SMH). If I wasn’t blessed with a lot of hair from the beginning, it would be worse. I need my brothers and sisters in Christ to pray for me, please! Peace and Blessings!🙏🏾❤️

[@sherimgreen2006]

I agree that this was the best tutorial ever.

[@sherimgreen2006]

I know this video is 10 months old but it is still AWESOME! I used every one of your techniques. Working with totally wet hair and having patience made all the difference. I also scrunched product to my scalp and blow dry around my hair only. I love my hair again and I am now a subscriber to your channel. Thank you for taking the time to share with us. 🥰

[@shari-leedavis1576]

I really missed the side part Alyssa! This video was definitely needed girllll

[@EricaLandWriter]

Girl, I am shook. I tried your technique with the products suggested minus the foam (used mousse instead) and had one of the best wash and gos I’ve ever had. So much curl definition. Thank you for sharing your tips. Hope I can keep it up.

[@klrandolph9239]

Really learn today what I have not been doing correctly...not enough water and rushing the process. Thanks for sharing.

[@sherimgreen2006]

My sentiments exactly!

[@nicholadecarvalho7206]

It worked for me. I had better results especially through finger detangling. Thank you for sharing your styling tips it really helped 😊

[@lindsayburns4563]

Thank you soooo much for the detail. I haven't been able to figure out how to get tamed roots without sticking to my head. I am no longer afraid to go upside down and scrunch!

[@NUBIANFIRE]

Great technique,very detailed! My wash and go needed to see this. She’s on the struggle bus! 😂 I’m trying to combat the frizz and will try adding more water. Thanks for sharing!

[@asendio11]

Come through with the techniques!!! Great tips!!! Thank you so much!

[@eandragoldsmith2554]

Thank you SO much for making this video! I’ve been struggling with trying to my wash and goes right! I too have a “struggle” patch right in the center of my head that I struggle with getting defined.

[@MZNEWNEW2010]

I’ve been natural for 6 years and your techniques have changed my wash and go game 100%, thank you 😊

[@HappilyNappy000]

Omg the timing is impeccable. About to do my wash and go. Had to like and comment before even watching

[@greenmika2889]

I’m convinced their is a KZbin camera in my bathroom 🤫🤣🤣

[@SaraM-wz7zz]

You have some of the best and most useful content. Thanks

[@kenyab5815]

Thanks a bunch!!! Your hair looks fantastic!!! I tried saturating my hair with water but used different products! I noticed I used less styling products than normal because my hair was extremely wet. My hair turned out terrific. "WETTER IS BETTER" Great tip! 😍👏🏼

[@TaeKat]

Okay we have the same curls but my hair has like teen rebellious issues about getting defined 😭 it fights to stay frizzy. I haven’t done a wash and go in my shower in forever so I might have to try this and report back because your results.... 👀😍 your results are the results I’ve had once in my whole natural life.

[@lindapoindexter7826]

OMG just watched this video and it changed everything!!! I did the same products and my hair has never looked so good! Thank you for providing this in-depth video👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@starmaxx4]

Yes I’m luvin that color 💕🥰.. luv your hair.. this wash n go is 🔥😊

[@michellepeach7680]

I honestly thought that the gels and the mousses where for the 2c and 3c girls but, now that that I know that every hair type needs hydration 1a onto 4d

[@kearstenw3855]

This is such a great video and I will be using all of your tips and tricks for my next wash and go!

[@myndy2733]

Love curlsmith products! Your hair is beautiful...love the technique....👍🏽

[@xXSk8trsRockOnXx]

Your hair looks so good and healthy! The trim and color is bomb 💕

[@LaToyaPlansLife]

Great tips! I did my wash N go last night and it turned out beautifully. Thanks for sharing!! 😊

[@taradise8]

Love the side part, cut & color. Very complimentary.

[@jaz1elise]

Great tips, Alyssa! Beautiful wash & go results! I need to make sure my hair is dripping wet when I do my wash & goes because my roots end up frizzy after day 1.

[@ChantalAlexandraC]

We have such similar hair textures! I love watching your channel bc I can relate so much! The final curls came out so cute 😍😍😍 the scrunching was everything!!

[@angelicapugh483]

Wow! Absolutely beautiful and in love with your hair and beauty cstar!

[@sheliajackson9363]

I definitely am becoming a huge fan of Curlsmith products too. I had not seen the finishing product salve (oil) and will run to order! Also, my hair is shorter but I’m obviously not using as much in-shower fixer. I have similar hair as yours and think a little really goes a long way. It’s the best gel ever. Love you so and thank you for all you do to help us on the struggle natural hair bus!

[@alaysiab]

I have a struggle patch too!!! She is so unruly and does not like to fall in line. Always frizzy and undefined!

[@jerrilynsinclair7887]

OMG! Girl you gon' make me change my hair routine! Best wash n go EVER! DANG...

[@ulindadavids7228]

It is the same for me - the trouble patch on the top. My edges/front is also a bit problematic, doesn't matter how wet my hair is. I would say it is stubborn

[@katrinamichee7119]

You have beautiful hair. What I’ve learned is my hair likes to be styled while my hair is damp. I prefer to do my hair out of the shower. Your hair looks amazing though

[@nehalahmed941]

Wooow your curls are so defined.. I will try this technique next wash and go but with a diffuser 🙈 I dont have the patient for air dry 🙄 Hope it works with me 🤞🤞

[@JuneElizabeth]

Simply beautiful! Thank you for reminding me about soaking wet hair styling!!!! Loved this!

[@dupeekhaese7773]

Love this video. Your curls are amazing. How would you refresh day 2 and 3 hair?

[@AlyssaMarieXo]

mostly fluff and go but more deets are here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnzUfYyZi9Ogl5I

[@ybagley325]

This is the best wash and go I've ever seen 😍

[@annettesamuels-davis6957]

😍😍😍 🔥 I agree wet hair gets me best results too 😃

[@glamstar3281]

I love your videos! Your content is A1 and your personality is EVERYTHING!!!

[@M3l155a]

I LOVE a good mousse/foam! I’ve been using the ABC amplified conditioner and it has cut down my wash and go drastically because it’s a gel conditioner and it clumps the curls so all I need it a bit of gel for added hold.

[@billionairess007]

Thank you thank you for showing your technique! ❤

[@MsScherri1]

Your hair looks great. This is the best wash and go that I have seen on you.

[@belen234485]

Love the new hair color and the curls are popping

[@ashley-paigeharrison3481]

Great video will add to help me with my wash and gos. I tend to use smaller sections and feel like I use too much product I’m going to try this method and also I’ve been wanting got try curlsmith as well

[@coilyloxs9696]

🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤. I can always count on you to turn me on to some “this is it” products.

[@dtramj5432]

Great video thanks for this. I tried this technique and used my Curlsmith products and my curls were amazing. My curls started from the roots ... YASSS...and I loved it. The only down side was I got more frizz than usual, not sure if that was because I styled using my fingers vs the brush I normally use. I will continue to work on this technique.

[@brookea5258]

Swear we have the same wash and go routine (are you watching me?😅) but the issue I have is I never know what to do once my hair is dry to style it and wear it down. I found the tips on how to let your hair dry, scrunch the crunch to get volume, and how to do the side swoop very helpful!

[@Clauds71]

Your curls look bomb 😍💯thanks for taking the time to do this 😘

[@bri6520]

I am so excited to finish watching so i can get these tips girll

[@robynsolomons2173]

Love you and your videos!! So sad that most of the products you use is not available in my country :(

[@kimkillett4895]

EXCELLENT! ONE LOVE 💕

[@heavennunez4454]

I wanna try all the products u are using❤️

[@sherryberrydc7744]

Your color and your curls are gorgeous. I love to style my wash and go's on soaking wet hair. I want to try your technique on positioning my hair to dry without the part. You turned me on to the shea moisture mousse and I've been getting wonderful results. I just ordered the curlsmith mousse I hope I will love that one too...I will be watching this video over and over😊. Great video.

[@shayinamt]

I love these results! I will be definitely trying!

[@chantestemmet480]

I NEEDED THIS. I am trying a new strong hold gel on Sunday and these tips will definetly help.

[@enjolim.4778]

How do you deal with parting your hair? I know most curlies say don't part while it's wet, and I saw you didn't really make a part. I've tried to not part but then it dries funny and fuzzy. I do a side part before applying product but then I don't really like how my hair falls. 😭 Any tips?....also, my hair stylist uses those flat metal clips and stands them up (sideways) in the hair while wet and your roots will dry off your head!

[@tiannalae2779]

I have that same shirt from H&M !! And I love your videos 😍. CURLS POPPING 🧚🏾‍♀️

[@chorus222002]

Will give it a try. Looks like we have the same hair type. Love curls smith but are their other products that are not so expensive that can do some what the same or give u the same satisfaction.

[@jquallo6206]

Sooo glad I came across this video, one of the most similar curls to mine. Thank you! You've got a new subscriber

[@monicalduvall]

Thanks for the video. Would you say that you have high, middle, or low porosity hair? I think that also is an important factor in the products and techniques used.

[@AlyssaMarieXo]

I think I may be mid porosity

[@ShareeDeeJA]

I love your videos and your energy! Your hair turned out really pretty 😍 Soaking wet hair definitely yields the most definition. Over the years, I've stopped styling on soaking wet hair and wet it just enough to get in and out but it does make a difference and lasts longer so I might have to revisit this technique 😊

[@divinaw.]

That new cut has your curls super poppin’ ! I love to see it❤️

[@ParisRodriguez10281987]

I love CurlSmith Products! So I'm definitely going to have to try some of these!! Such a good video girl! I think we have similar curly hair, so I'm so happy you made this video!! :)

[@Ceeflowers]

Love it but cool water is a no for my low porosity hair warm is better and helps the products slide through without closing the cuticle

[@livstewart5716]

The gell isnt available in the uk :( do you have an another gell styler that you think works just as well?

[@Laysplace23]

So I just watched this again, and I’ve always done the heavy gels, trying to get it flat and weighed down and then stretching it but I have fineish curls and medium density and my hair hates all that stretching. I was already trying mouses and air drying so I just tried all of this and it’s drying now!! Can’t wait to see if this is better and quicker for my hair and lifestyle

[@livstewart5716]

how was the mousse ? xo

[@Laysplace23]

@@livstewart5716 I used the doux mousse. Protein sensitive. I liked my results. I’m on second day and still have hold and I stretched a bit. I think I’ll try on clarified hair next time but the techniques and this gel aren’t bad at all! Lots of volume 😂

[@monicaa78]

I love your channel but the soaking wet styling does not work for me at all. I'm super low porosity. I have to let my hair dry a bit after heating hair with the leave in conditioner so the product can fit into the hair shaft. If filled with water the product does not get in and my hair be hella frizzy 😩 so thankful to have learned about foam and gel, GAME CHANGER!!!!!!

[@katrinamichee7119]

Mine is the same way. My wash n his are done on wet to damp hair. It works well for me.

[@itsbrittbritt4183]

I’m low porosity I only did my wash and gos in the shower. I just do a warm water shot on my hair like she kept doing. It keeps the cuticle open. I’ve never had any issues. I then deep condition it all in just to add more definition And I let it air dry. Don’t have to worry about any of it anymore though. It’s been a week since I started my two strand twist starter locs.😊

[@enoabasiharris9586]

Looks gorgeous

[@tifanilewis1770]

So bomb!! You have convinced me to try these products

[@LaminaCooper]

How do you prevent your hair from clogging the drain or do you buy a shower product to prevent that?

[@kinghill500]

First great tips beautiful ☺️

[@laurasantana1655]

Omg so i style with my hands too ... BUT i always end up with tons of loose hair strands as i rake products in with my fingers. And this is after i detangle in the shower. What can i do differently to stop this 😩. You literally run your fingers all thru your hair and i didn’t see any annoying long hairs tangled in your fingers

[@myrtlesmith624]

Beautiful ❤️❤️👏👏🙏🏾

[@Sarah-np9yb]

Loved all the styling details! Can you let us know what you washed and conditioned with?

[@ulindadavids7228]

I have fine hair so have to be very careful with Protein overload. What gel would you suggest I use that is not weighing down my hair but also doesn't have protein?

[@enjolim.4778]

I've got fine hair too, maybe go with a mousse with good hold. Make sure you use a cream or leave in first. I haven't found a gel that I LOVE aside from ecoslay orange marmalade it's a flax gel

[@michelleelizabeth797]

It's much more complicated with type 4 afro textured hair sis, your wash and go is popping

[@itsbrittbritt4183]

I always did my wash and gos in the shower... so did my ex. And he had what would be considered 4c. I never took the curl pattern chart seriously. It just keeps people from trying things.

[@briggettmumphrey3226]

I love your videos

[@Asia.Persuasia]

I used to add this much water to my curls, and I got horrible hygral fatigue.

[@CutAfrikAfro]

Your videos are boom👍

[@bri6520]

Soaking wet hair does not work for me every time. My strands are kind of thin so if I wet them too much the product will just sit on top of my hair!

[@ayanadixon4763]

Have you tried using warm water? My hair is fine and low porosity, so I find warm water helps to open my cuticles and allows products to absorb better.

[@bri6520]

@@ayanadixon4763 I only use warm water! My hair responds better to damp hair
