Shingling VS Raking, Smoothing + Praying Hands Method for my Wash & Go | Thick Dense Type 4 Hair 👀

[@aj340015]

It’s nice to see some girls still embracing their curls/coils I’ve been seeing nothing but “returning to perm videos” 🙄 which is ok for them but backwards for me so thanks for uploading this ♥️

A lot of ppl are superficial with absolutely no substance, those ppl just trend hop

I am a hard core shingler. I have tried the raking method and the first time I tried it, it lasted a day. This year I tried it again and it worked out but you get close to perfection with the shingling. I never took 4 hrs, even the first time I did it but it did take me 2 hrs. Now I’m down to an hr. And it does last the whole week.

[@hazelm3002]

Nowadays I’ve got no time for 1 hour wash and gos so cut them down to 20 mins. Praying hands and raking is a time saver

[@1GoldenBreeze]

I have the time, but just don't want to take that much time. Raking all the way, LoL.💜

[@CaramelCoils]

I 100% get it! Lol a huge time saver 🙌🏽🙌🏽

I have fallen in love with shingling but it's so time consuming. The longevity and the ultra definition is what makes it so appealing. I'll do the raking/smoothing method when I know I'm about to put braids in or some other type of protective style bc I know I won't need my w&g to last long.

[@nadegejuste2638]

They both look gr8. Shingling part has more shape to it. Like a heart shape n look as if u had it profesionaly done. Raking has more hang to it n give a "i woke up like this" vibe. I would use raking 4 my every day look n shingling for special occasion

The shine is going crazy 🤩🤩✨

The nails are GIVING!!! 💅♥️💅♥️💅♥️💅♥️

Your hair looks beautiful either way.💜 It sounds like it just boils down to how often you want to do your hair and/or how long you want the set to last. If your scalp feels fine and you don't experience more tangling when you wash by going longer then taking the extra time to shingle may not be a bad thing. Personally, I redo my WnG every 5days just because my scalp tends to be oily and starts to itch if I go longer. Also for me, I don't want to take two hours to shingle and I'm not sure I could even get it done in two hours because of the length of my hair. I do WnG styling because it is easy and quicker than braid-outs or twist-outs. I simply don't want to be in my hair for hours on the days I wash it. It also looks like my coils naturally separate a little more than yours so luck helped me out.

[@ivymerritt7577]

That definition is KILLING!! 😍😍😍😍😍

[@miniminott48]

Look! Your hair is just plain gorgeous! I love both sides! It just comes down to how frequently you want to reset your hair because the shingling method creates longer lasting wash and gos.

[@ivymerritt7577]

Great video!! I would have loved to have seen how your hair looked at day five or six. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@shauntiffany5310]

You look beautiful sis. Both sides are poppin 😍 it’s a win win situation!

[@RosirisCruz7]

Te quedo hermoso. Yo soy team shingling aunque la técnica shingling toma un poco más de tiempo pero al momento del lavado siento que mi cabello esta menos enredado

[@ivymerritt7577]

The shingled side truly has less frizz and is more defined, but it looks to me like they are both equally voluminous.

[@apara2005]

Have you ever tried topping your gel with a mousse? For me, I found mousse pretty much "shingles" the curls for you. Of course not as perfect as if you manually shingles your hair yourself. But, pretty close in my books (since I'm lazy 😅). My go to method is a leave in and just a mousse. I do the raking method. The bad thing is I have to re-do it every 3 days or put it in a puff. Haven't found a gel that doesn't dry the hell out of my hair. I keep forgetting about curlsmith!!!!!!

[@cathychristopher6645]

Which mousse do you use?

[@stephb.3243]

Literally giving flawless ❤️💕

[@starmaxx4]

Steph your hair always looks beautiful 🥰💙.. I really luv both sides … you always have me wanting to do a wng.. then reality sets in 🤣.. I actually used these same products for my twist out which was really nice 🥰

[@naturallyakira]

I can't wait to try their products😍 The results are bomb 😍😍😍

[@wilhelminabrucelarbi4049]

You look amazing, I need to start shingling. You remind me of Donna Summer in her disco dancing days.

[@RosirisCruz7]

Omgoodness 😍😍😍9:26 hermosísima Te ves muy bella. Pensé que al usar diferentes técnicas el cabello en el resultado final te quedaría uno más encogido que otro pero no fue así y te ves preciosaaaaaa😍

[@SanaaJadeCruz]

I used to shingle until I found your videos and raking and smoothing is now my go to the time is cut in half my volume comes sooner and they last longer I also have medium to thin density that might make a difference

[@ExclusiveBarbie94]

Have a great weekend 🙂

[@jayjvy25]

Pleaseeeee try the doux mousse for a wng!!

[@jessicaj9889]

Do u have a video on how you stretch your hair?

[@myhairdays9783]

I am definitely a shingler!! I agree I feel like it lasts longer

[@thesalaamfamily3388]

Nice curls

[@falicia1591]

❤❤❤the hair

[@Chastidee]

Your hair is really pretty.

[@sheba653161]

Love your hair either way. I do the shingling method but I run my hair between each of my fingers at one time. Like I don't do individual curls at a time. That saves me some time. I used to use my detangling brush but I don't think I like clumped curls for myself as much as I thought because the frizz does come faster. I think it's the gel I was using also.

[@Naasika]

Go to is definitely shingling. I feel like it is also easier to wash as well.

[@MiraMira0ntheWall]

I shingle the front of my hair mostly. I like a hard cast.

[@BritSB]

When you do your wash & go, is your hair soaking wet, or just a little wet?…bc we have the same EXACT hair [ density & all ], & my wash & go doesn’t do right on soaking wet hair…I wanted to know your method

[@kinghill500]

Early ❤️❤️

[@LaDonna-nl6dm]

Can we get a curly stretch video .

[@mimi-pb4hn]

i actually think the shingling side had more volume

[@kenzjr1507]

Curls popping per usual and I need to try shingling Judy takes to long

[@ivymerritt7577]

I'm 2nd!!! 🎊🥂🎉🎊🥂🎉

[@CaramelCoils]

Yass, hey girl 😌👋🏾

[@nyny9598]

I hear an accent. Where are you from

[@aanaayss]

Honestly both are bomb....I prefer your raking method more cause its faster and your results look more effortless. But the shingling is bomb too dont get me wrong. They're both a vibe and they don't look drastically different neither so that means your raking method is too legit 🤌🏽🤌🏽😍😍

[@CaramelCoils]

Yesss thanks girl 💕
