I think you hair looked beautiful in its shrunken state 🙂

[@AbbieCurls]

thank you! ❤ I do love it, just needs a little shaping haha

[@DanteVelasquez]

@@AbbieCurls It looks gorgeous both ways. Your hair texture and curl pattern are lovely.

[@biancam.2041]

Very helpful! Thanks! 🙏🏽

[@godsprecious6884]

Awesome ❤

[@alecksdixon2947]

okay, the bun is the step i was missing! mine allllllways shrinks back up after stretching, and i never knew how to fix it.

[@AbbieCurls]

so simple but makes so much difference!

[@iwilson3950]

@@AbbieCurlsI wonder if the bun would work as a nighttime routine so my hair is not smashed to my head in the morning. Have you tried the bun as a nighttime routine?

[@AbbieCurls]

@@iwilson3950 I wouldn't do the bun for a nighttime routine as if I leave it in for too long it will make my hair toooo stretched and ruin the curl. it ends up looking crimped and flat rather than full curls if I leave the bun overnight

[@iwilson3950]

Gotcha! Thank you. 🙏🏾

[@oliviamorel6451]

Looks really beautiful 😍 Could you do a video on how you do at night to keep the curl fresh and bouncy on the morning? I always struggle on the third day 😅

[@AbbieCurls]

yes, I will do a video on how I maintain my hair throughout the week including my night time and morning routine xx

[@mixu7562]

Great video as always! I wanna try a wash and go (have only ever done twistouts/braidouts) but I'm scared of gel haha

[@AbbieCurls]

I understand the fear! But don't be scared - it's all about experimenting. I'd recommend innersense, trepapdora and curl smith for wash and go products. your hair will feel quite different in a wash and go than a twist/braid out, but different doesn't mean bad xx

[@earlenewilliams3674]

Beautiful ether way

[@lester2588]

What would you say is your hair type(s)?

[@AbbieCurls]

I really don't use the hai typing system as I don't find it helpful and I don't think my hair really fits into any of the curl patterns. If I had to say, I'd say I'm closest to 3c/4a

[@khairunisaavanwyk425]

Love to see it ! Here from Tiktok🫶

[@AbbieCurls]

yay! Thanks for joining me over on KZbin too ❤

[@CorendaFaithful]

What’s the best tip to keep my hair from drying crunchy and stiff with a wash and go? Please help 😊

[@AbbieCurls]

I think that's pretty normal when using a gel. It sounds like your're describing a gel cast - which isn't necessarily a bad thing. You can get rid of it by scrunching your hair with an oil once it's dry. Or, it may be a case of trying different products with less of a hard hold

[@CorendaFaithful]

@@AbbieCurls thanks! I am always using the Eco styler Gel and the Curls blueberry line. Maybe I should switch it up. I’m not good with picking out products. Thanks again!

[@Jessica-tt6ww]

How do you sleep with it to keep it stretched until wash day?

[@AbbieCurls]

To sleep, I wrap my hair with a satin scarf and wear a satin bonnet on top. After doing this routine, my hair does tend to stay stretched unless its particularly humid or wet weather x

[@LeatherLemon]

​@AbbieCurls where do you get the satin scarf from? I've been looking for something similar to that stretchy black one but can't seem to find it!

[@afrocurly_Selena]

When I tried stretching.my wash and go it struck back up a day later😂 ..so I didn't bother try again and went back to banding🤎

[@AbbieCurls]

glad you found something that works for you xx
