Jay B yesss! I know those flakes, I usually do all my wash n go’s using only gel. Then add a moisturizing spray/oils when im refreshing each day.

@@iamsaekomarley What did you use for it to grow long nice curls.

[@KyraSimoneofficial]

It’s weird. We adapted type 4 to signify that our air has Afro curly tendencies but really it’s about the curl type and yes she has 3c hair with 4a in places but the over texture has an Afro/curly element to it. That in between that some type 3c/4a My hair is like this 😍

[@bknatural_e]

Agreed. I’m a 3C-4A natural and it’s funny how the hair can read as several textures because of its natural static frizz. But the moment water touches it or it’s hydrated it relaxes back to its true texture/pattern. It’s definitely a unique pattern to have and it requires the right techniques and products to not be overtaken by frizz and dryness. Love my hair!

[@j.elixir6089]

She’s definitely 4a/4b too. My hair looks way looser with gel too. It’s about how your hair looks when moisturize, hence the beginning of the video. Not weighed down and saturated with oil.

[@iamsaekomarley]

Thank you for your comment as well 🖤 my hair in the beginning is right after a fresh wash too, so I’m just going to have to start showing my hair at its DRYEST just so people can see the magic I really work on my hair 🤣 it seems unbelievable to a lot of people that my hair can transform like this lol

@@iamsaekomarley forreal forreal💯🖤😭

[@Icyjessy1]

@@j.elixir6089 Na. I assure you there will hardly be a natural with perfectly defined 3c/4a curls when undefined. 3c is actually kinky. My hair is 3c/4a/4b/4c and even with gel they are all different patterns. And they all fro up when dry regardless of how loose or tight they are. The frizz and froing is about texture and porosity not curl pattern. It is probably be 3c/4a but 4b na. That would mean all curl patterns tighter than this(including naptural 85, the OG 4a)will start to claim 4c. And then notice she doesn't show her hair fully wet. It would probably look much smoother Remember Tracee Ellis Ross during girlfriends. Her pattern is really loose like 3a/3b barely a ringlet but her hair still looked kinky. Just my opinion though Edit: And KZbinrs with 3c/4a hair hardly show their dry hair because wash and gos are popularly done on soaking wet hair. This is standard behaviour for 3c/4a hair

Enjoyed watching your video especially with only using one product. I definitly love that gel myself 💚

[@rachelshairvlogs4734]

I kinda think that it's 3c 4a just because my mom has hair just like this it is loose when put under water but a day later it shrinks into a afro so I think it's 4a most likely I don't see any 3b or 3a in there but we're not in your hair so we don't know your hair type

Hi! So u dont use a leave in? Or cream? Just gel?

Hi! And only water, gel, and oil 💕 I like wetline because it has aloe and seems to be more water soluble, so I basically add half water and half gel. I find that I have better hold and no flakes. I really haven’t tried a leave in that doesn’t leave any flakes when i style

[@daverenawhite6183]

Do you use CoCocare?

[@KyraSimoneofficial]

Wait you picked it before it dried? Do you air dry or diffuse or sit under dryer. If air dry how long does it take

[@iamsaekomarley]

Yes i usually only use the blowdryer if im doing a blowout to get braids, but for wash and gos it usually takes all day (being home) to dry depending on the weight of the gel/water. (Sometimes i use more or less) But if i go outside in the sun and run errands or something it’ll be dry in like 3 hrs.

[@mercyh193]

Your hair is beautiful and it grew so fast! Makes me wanna cut mine off and start ask over. Did you do tons of wash n goes to help it grow via minimal manipulation?

[@iamsaekomarley]

Thank you! & yes it grew sooo fast I'm still surprised about it. Honestly, I did both. When I first big chopped I washed 2x a week for the most part, but as my hair got longer I would push wash days to 2 months at max. I would do a wash and go, but make it last all the way til my next wash day by continuously refreshing until i could no longer then putting in a high puff for the rest of time. I can definitely say that minimal manipulation plays a BIG part in it all as long as you keep your hair clean, detangled, and moisturized.

[@iamsaekomarley]

Hi 💕 and did you use any oils? Also its important to get a good consistency of water and gel, *now i already know how much to use with my eyes closed* but at first i started by adding each in little by little until the consistency is FLUID but the gel also HOLDS. Good way to start out is by fully dampening your hair and add a little gel, if the hold is good *curl pattern distinct + no frizziness* and the texture is not sticky you’re good to go 👍🏾 Hopefully this helped! Just gotta get the consistency figured out for your hair ❤️

Hi, and do you know your hair porosity? Also have you ever tried wetline xtreme gel? That gel helped me ALOT with my frizzy roots as well but if you could find the one with the green top, i feel the consistency is the best. There’s a newer version with a dark blue top, but the gel is much thicker than the green version. It still works good enough, but you can always try a mini travel size just to test it out. I also try to apply products starting at the roots because if my roots are moisturized, then the entire hair strands are more likely to be less frizzy 💗💗 hope this helped

[@iamsaekomarley]

@@upendimoon3511 ok great, and check out some videos of testing hair porosity, it will give you an idea of how much moisture your hair retains. Most of my hair is low porosity so the water will literally just sit on top of my hair strands until i massage it in. Also, for the blue top wetline, start off with a smaller amount on wet/semi damp hair and that should help with the thicker consistency. I’ll be doing a video soon showing how I trained my curls using finger coiling, that really helped my hair come into form, + a deep conditioner that works for you can help retain moisture

How do y’all wrap this up in a bonnet? And how do you stop the dryness in between washes? Do you wet your hair daily?

Yes, when my hair was shorter and wash day was less of a hassle i did it 1-2 times a week. Nowadays i will go for about 10-12 days before washing, unless i need to. I wear high puffs/slick buns most of the time with minimal product. Also with protective styles, box braids i take them down in 4-5 weeks and i dont usually wash in that time. Hope this helped ❤️

[@longlivesoca]

So I'm looking at your product list in description since I didn't see you moisturize in the video and am I correct to say you didn't before using the gel? Is there a reason maybe?

[@iamsaekomarley]

Yes you are correct, this was a one product wash and go. I only used wetline xtreme gel and thats usually how I’ve styled with no issues. I always use more water than gel, and I use water + oil in between the days when refreshing. I don’t use any leave in because all products I’ve tried to add in before the gel always results in white flakes either big or small.. so my routine for wash and gos became gel only with oil to prevent a hard cast (which usually never happens because i make sure my hair is super saturated with water) and i’ve stuck to this routine. But thats what works for me, and the curl definition lasts up to a week plus, and my hair has been growing tremendously. Maybe one day I will find a good combination of products that wont produce flakes.

Well I'm just beginning this Natural hair thing, and from what I've seen I don't know where I fall under cause four c hair seems to get wavy with product mine doesn't do that it gets very nappy. Some videos with 4c shows a rougher grade and some shows hair that's manageable

[@iamsaekomarley]

Hey, I hope you’re enjoying being natural so far. I consider my hair to be between 3c - 4b, i have a lot of different sections of my hair that are all different in texture and porosity. I recommend also doing a porosity test because if you’re like me, I have low porosity so moisture takes a very long time to be absorbed in my strands and that can alter your hair care process

[@iamsaekomarley]

As far as hair typing, I say if you find videos on youtube that show a similar hair texture to yours they can help in your hair care product selection, but its all about learning what works for you as far as products, moisture intake, and frequency of washing. Hope this helped ❤️

[@staceymims4759]

@@iamsaekomarley I've had permed hair since a freshman in high school long hair but over the years my hair was damaged because I wasn't taking care of it. So three years ago cut it went natural it grows but I end up having rough ends and having to trim alot ( wearing alot of protective styles that's not so protective) OK so my hair is hard is hard to work with and stays dry. What do you do to retain moisture

[@TARA-sq1fo]

Your hair came out beautifully! How do you dry it?

[@iamsaekomarley]

Thank you! I usually air dry, if its sunny out i’ll go outside but most of the time I let it do its own thing. I try to only use Low-med heat when im doing a blowout for a protective style

[@ryleighevian]

did that brush help pre-define your curls before you put the gel in ?

[@iamsaekomarley]

No but it definitely helps with detangling, i feel like my hair stays more defined after a wash when i use my fingers throughout the entire process. As soon as i use a brush or comb major frizz 😭😭

[@iamsaekomarley]

The only way I see it helping with definition is when i have product in my hair, then the brush will help bring the curl pattern out

[@iamsaekomarley]

😭😭❤️ hiiii

[@aljohnson19]

My hair looks just like this, but damn girl they changed the Wetline formula and I can’t find the one you’re using in this video anymore 😤. It was my absolute favorite! Now I’m back to Eco 🙄

[@iamsaekomarley]

😭😭 OMG! Its honestly traumatizing me the way I can not find the green top anymore! 😫 I have about 2 more tubs of the newer blue too wetline that I need to finish and a small Eco that I will be trying again after almost 3 years. Eco only gave me good hold when I was transitioning but Im about to try it again and see how it works 🤞🏽

[@mimi7434]

I'm late to the party but in my city wetline is in all the Latin grocery stores.

[@iamsaekomarley]

Yes!! Go for it, the growth process is amazing.

[@gabrielledione963]

My hairstylist says the hair type isn't exactly true all the time but I do want to know how to keep it wet and curly all day if your in a hot weather state or work

[@iamsaekomarley]

Hey, and the water + oil + gel combo works pretty well keeping my hair defined but i have low porosity hair so it usually will never stay wet. The best way i get that wet look is really on the first day of my wash and go routine using wetline + water

[@mc.2638]

This get doesn’t make your hair crunchy & flaky? I have the one with the top and my hair does not look like this after 😂 how do you maintain this style until your next wash day?

[@iamsaekomarley]

Hi! I usually do my wash and gos with this gel only. An even amount of gel and water, and oil once dry gave me perfect definition with no flakes. The formula of the green top version is definitely better than the current blue top im finding in stores.. 🥴 I haven’t found the perfect leave in and gel combo, but check out my video - How I Refresh My Wash and Go - that’s how I get the style to last about a week 😁 thanks for watching ❤️

Did you mean doesn’t 👀 I’m going to try that out soon

[@ShondaeBaldwin]

Y’all Are Weird . Why Do Y’all Think Type 4 Hair Only Mean 4c???? Just Because You Have 4b Hair That Coarse And Another Person Have 4b Hair Thats Silky You Think Its Not Type 4 ?? EVERYBODY IS DIFFERENT !

[@ShondaeBaldwin]

@Julia Lia Wym ? It’s As Common As Anyother Type . I Didn’t Say Nothing About Her Texture In Particular. I Was Making A General Statement Based Off What I’ve Noticed Regarding Type 4 Hair

My hair was actually wet in the beginning..

I would've liked to see the dried results. Enjoyed the video nevertheless. Thnx for sharing.

[@iamsaekomarley]

Thank you for watching! My hair takes about the whole day to be air dried, i try not to use the blow dryer as much. Check out the video on my page titled - How To Refresh A Wash and Go - those were my dried results from this style ❤️

[@nicoleadkins8627]

What did you use to grow your hair for the 2 years

[@iamsaekomarley]

I think what contributed the most was that I would wash 1-2x per week. I have low porosity hair so I believe the consistent washing helped keep my hair very hydrated. Also only using virgin organic coconut oil, didn’t use many other styling products besides gel and edge control

[@shauntellslife]

@@iamsaekomarley You're welcome Hun 😘 I've been doing wash and go's lately and my hair is so healthy being consistent and sticking to a healthy regimen

[@iamsaekomarley]

That’s good to hear! I feel like it helped train my curls in the early stages, as long as you keep it moisturized and detangled for the most part, and don’t go too long without washing it’ll minimize breakage and help your hair grow faster for sure! ❤️❤️❤️

[@RavenMarie2001]

@@iamsaekomarley Right do you think it's possible for us as black women to grow our hair without putting braids it in ?? I have a constant fear of wearing my natural hair because growing up I was always taught your hair constantly needs to be tucked away in box braids etc but as I'm getting older now certain styles that were projected on me caused my hair my harm than good and I just want to break that mentality that you don't specifically need that in order to grow healthy hair 🙂

[@iamsaekomarley]

I definitely think its possible without extensions, my hair has grown ALOT since my mini chop video. Id you check out my ig IAMSAEKOMARLEY you can see a few vids, I recently dyed it (video coming soon) and ive just been keeping it moisturized and braiding my natural hair with no extensions for about 3 months straight and it has shown so much growth. Many times we neglect our hair because it takes a lot of time to care for it properly. So when i know i don’t have time i make sure to braid it up so that when i sleep it doesn’t cause tangles or friction rather than my hair being in a bun for 2 weeks. Ive seen major improvement, but for me being low porosity washing my hair every weekend helps keep it very moisturized and I’ve noticed a big difference. You just need to try some new things, wash and gos, braids, twist outs, it all depends on what your hair enjoys more

[@ashleigh_02xx86]

Hi, my hair used to tighten up when it was shorter but as it got longer the weight of the gel and water could keep it elongated.. check out my video 🔎 How To Refresh A Wash and Go | DAY 3 Hair 🔍 This is how i used to tie my hair up with a scrunchie to help my style last long and prevent shrinkage.. nowadays my routine is slightly different but i’ll film an updated vid soon!

[@_mojojojeaux]

Bruh my hair look just like this when I feel like doing it. Kmsl. And I know for a fact it’s type 4 hair. Now I got a variety of A & B in there mixed with some 3C but it’s hella thick. I’m low porosity but i get the same results. Now my hair looks like a Brillo pad after a few days (because I’m lazy and don’t always moisturize and seal my hair after my 16 hour shifts). But type 4 hair looks like this if you sit there and fool with it. Lol

[@iamsaekomarley]

THANK YOU! Its not all about appearance lol its literally all those factors put together. Low porosity plays a big role in how our hair looks after a few days has gone by 😭😭 on top of that i’ll do wash day after like 2 weeks sometimes 😂

Hi, I’m a new subscriber. Have you tried using Style Factor Gel in the same process & the issue I have with gel is flaking & crunchiness. Does that happen with this routine?

[@tijaejarrett1390]

& how long does this style last? I usually use Talia Waajid curly curl cream, Shea moisture curl enhancing smoothie & castor oil for my wash & go’s & it usually lasts 2 weeks (I’m trying to try new routines)

[@iamsaekomarley]

Hi! ❤️ thank you for subscribing, and i never tried style factor i haven’t really looked for it in my area. But i usually would get the white flakes if i used any type of leave in along with gel. Which is why i do my wash and gos with only gel for styling. I love wetline because it includes aloe, and when added with water the consistency can be changed.

[@iamsaekomarley]

Along with any type of oil to add shine and prevent the crunchiness. But usually when i style how i did in the video there is no crunch when the consistency is good. My style last around 2-3 weeks but i try to wash around 1.5 - 2 weeks to avoid heavy detangling since my hair expands as the days go on ❤️ hope this helped

You're definitely 3c/4a and there's nothing wrong with it. If your hair is in afro when it's dry doesn't mean you're automatically "type 4"
