Type 4 Wash & Go Q&A | All Your Questions Answered.

[@TheMkupjunkie]

The best tip for me is not being afraid of letting your wng “go”. I think trying to push the style (wng or any style) beyond the period that your hair needs hydration or moisture for any given week( b/c hormones or whatever going on in body that week) can require us to hydrate/ moisturizer beyond a “schedule or time period” we try to put on our hair usually is what leads to the set backs, excessive knots, tangles, etc. Definitely, listen to your hair regularly and not be tied to a routine. Since I been hydrating my hair every 2-3 days ( bc by day 3 I feel the moisture slipping) no matter what style I’m doing, my hair has done a 180 in terms of shedding, knots, tangles, strength, etc. Your hair looks gorgeous and thanks for sharing and your sacrifice.

[@NJEberhart]

Thank you so much 😊. And I love that you are listening to your hair. I def try not to push my style too long. Thanks for watching 💕

Ok 'Hot Curl summer'! 😂 😍

[@NJEberhart]

Yes ma’am lol. Thanks for watching love 💕

[@prissNcurlss]

In the few instances I do a wash and go, I find that I get the most definition with shingling. Brushes removed the curls for me. Also, banding my hair stretches it. and the pineapple stretches the back. Maybe I’m banding too tight. I’ll revisit your wash n go vids to see.

[@NJEberhart]

Oh yess shingling is a good tip too for definition! I just don’t have the patience lol. If you don’t want to stretch too much then you can def band a little bit looser 😊

Your hair looks amazing!!! Your wash and go’s are always popping!!! 🔥🔥 These tips were bomb too!! Type 4c curly girl here and I only wear a wng!! 😍 best tips for me include washing every 6-7 days - (because we need water 💧), using a strong hold gel and raking and smoothing onto small sections all over my hair when styling, and using a hooded dryer or diffuser to heat set for a longer lasting wng! 😉 At night time, you can put your hair in small pineapples all over your head (I do about 8-10 of them and it only takes me 5-8 mins to do). In the morning, I put some oil on my hands, take down each pineapple one at a time and fluff and shake until I get my desired look! Wng take some practice! But I got it down now and I’m nevvveer going back! 💙💙💙

May I ask what's your hair length?

[@NJEberhart]

Hey Terry 😊😊😊. Thank you so much for sharing your wash n go tips for type 4c hair. Spreading love and knowledge ❤️

[@sheilasby9898]

What products do you use?

[@Prittyinpink143]

@@sheilasby9898 I have changed which products I use overtime. But right now I use the uncle funky’s daughter curly magic curl stimulator as my leave in and then I top with a stronger holding gel, wetline. This past weekend I used Ecoslay Jello shot for the first time instead of wetline and I got amazing results as well. Ecoslay has clean ingredients so that’s why I wanted to try their products out. Hope this helps 💜

I want an updated fave wash n go combos video!!yayy you answered my questions

[@NJEberhart]

Will have the coming soon 😊. Thanks for your question!

[@lifeonabudget8513]

I find that using a shampoo without all the frilly, extra ingredients in it allows my hair to be optimally clean, lending to a more defined curl material. Also, for my hair, putting on an oil after the leave-in/moisturizer interferes with the gel adhering to my curls to define properly. My curl pattern looks like a twist/braid out and the less I put on my hair, the better it looks. I do wash n' go all year round. My hair hates other styles😄 You and your hair always look so adorable!

[@NJEberhart]

Thank you so much love 💕. Thanks for your tips as well. I love to layer products and I know that doesn’t always work for others so thanks for sharing what works for you 😊

[@joythompson9530]

A good example of even type 4 curls not looking alike would be Kayla "What The Kinks" curls. I love her curls because they are unique among the type 4 influencers I've seen. There may be others, but if so they aren't rocking a wash-n-go. I'd also say for 4c girls it's good to watch other 4c's who do wash-n-go if not watching Jenn J, LaToya Ebony, or Bubs Bee maybe add them to your list. All of them do great wash-n-goes and they are different lengths and thicknesses. Bubs Bee has some 4b hair but mostly 4c. Personally, I don't try to wear my wng beyond its expiration date that means sometimes I need to redo it twice a week. There's nothing wrong with stretching but it isn't a requirement. I don't stretch and haven't from when my hair was shoulder to waist length. I just go with whatever shrinkage I have. I learned early that the longer I do wng styling the better they look

[@NJEberhart]

Yes, Kayla's hair is sooo beautiful and she rocks her wash n go often. Thanks for the other KZbinr suggestions 💕

[@Listen2me400]

I don’t band or stretch my hair anymore. In the past it would just shrink up again. I sleep in an extra large bonnet that doesn’t smash my hair to death and in the morning I take off the bonnet and shake my hair out. As the days go by my hair gets bigger (which I love) and I wash and go every 6-7 days. I tried the Doux’s mousse and it didn’t work for me. I’m going to try the Nubian Heritage Weightless Stylish Mousse next. I saw it on What the Kink’s KZbin Channel and it worked as a one and done for her. It looked promising is a clean vegan product. I want to try it on top of my gel. Can be purchased on Amazon.

[@NJEberhart]

Hey Diane 😊. My hair likes to shrink a little too by the end of the day which is why I pretty much band every night lol. And mousse wash n go still scares me 😂

[@Listen2me400]

@@NJEberhart I have a sensitive scalp. Laying on the bands would just not be comfortable and I would have a restless nights sleep.

[@DannielleElliott]

All your tips are on point! Type 4 natural here and I only wear wash and gos. Pineappling my hair only stretches the back too much so I band every night as well. I do however stretch with heat. I love a crunchy wash n go because I know it will last a loooong time. I have worn my wash n go for 3 weeks before and regretted it later, but I find I can go at least 2 weeks in the winter, but not the summer. I want to try the mouse def but I am scared as well. My hair needs gel. But I am thinking of trying it on top of gel. And yes you have to listen to your hair.... I've been curious about the no oils and butters so haven't used any these past few weeks but last week my hair was dry as a dessert on day 3, so I washed it mid week...something I never do. Lastly, I hate prepooing because of the extra step. I find that I can easily detangle by washing with a clay wash. However, I do prepoo once in a while...especially if I have my hair in a puff for a long time. The new Curls Bond Curl Rehab Salve works as a great prepoo because it has great slip and has to be used before washing, so I have been doing that 2x a month.

[@NJEberhart]

Hey Dannielle 😊😊😊. Thanks so much for watching. I def need to try the bind salve out. I have been hearing such good things about it!

[@psr076]

You have great tips ! I’m lazy too so I don’t refresh everything is done on wash day (clean, condition and style ). I wear my bonnet every night and shake my hair in the morning.

[@NJEberhart]

Thank you so much 😊 glad that you enjoyed the video!

[@TressesOfAlexis]

Great tips!!! For me, I’ve found that smoothing without raking gives me my best results and minimizes tangles/knots. Oh! And to minimize stiff hair, I SMOOTH TF out of my roots with the gel 🤣🤣🤣

[@NJEberhart]

Thank you Alexis 😊😊😊. Same girl about the roots because my hair will be sooooo freakin puffy lol.

Hey Kearsten 😊. Will def have that video coming soon. Thanks for watching 😊

[@prissNcurlss]

Yesss! Have to listen to your hair. 🔑 It’s really hard to give up on a style, especially when you were expecting it to last a week or you have a schedule that you want to stick to. BUT listening to our hair is key to keeping it healthy and preventing breakage.

[@NJEberhart]

Yessss! Absolutely listen to your hair. Took me a while to learn that lesson for sure 😂

[@TheMkupjunkie]

Also, I use a mousse as a topper for wng. Lotta body is my favorite. The mousse adds the shine and really controls the frizz. Also, the crunch can be easily scrunched out. I look forward to picking up and trying the mousse def from the doux soon.

[@NJEberhart]

Hey love! Thanks for sharing your experience with mousse for a wash n go 😊

[@MsRouge2000]

Great tips as always thank you😄

[@angel_arabella]

Great info! I definitely need to start banding bc pineappling (🙂) is doing the same for me.

[@NJEberhart]

Thank you so much love 😊. Yes def try banding. You can also band with satin scrunchies if you prefer!

[@jeanninegorden8142]

I'm a newer natural and have never done a WNG. My hair tangles at baseline and I'm scared of single strand knots. I have been trialing different methods (shingling, raking) in the very back of my hair (in the kitchen!) with a WNG. And I don't have an hair dryer, just a bonnet dryer. I may try one in Aug. I have a lot of time off so maybe I will experiment then.

[@NJEberhart]

Hey Jeannine. I would say def try it out any if you don’t like the results don’t be afraid to rewash/restyle you hair. You can also air dry your hair. I use to exclusively air dry. But like sitting under the dryer a little more. Thanks for watching 💕

[@kearstenw3855]

Yes for Crunchy hair!!! If it doesn't have a crunch I'm throwing it away 😆 You band every night!!! 😲😲😲😲😲 I pineapple every night and it keeps my hair perfect throughout the week. I'm like you I pretty much given up on refreshing. I've try to use products that I know will give me the moisture base so that my hair won't dry out. Whatever you're doing it's working because your hair is stunning!❣️
