Wash and Go | Shea Moisture and Wet Line Xtreme

[@TrinityGrace]

Wetline is also protein free - unlike the Ecostyler. Your hair looks great!

[@myvirgokitchen9869]

I've been using this gel now for about a year and a half and I love it. Honestly, I think you could've been a little more heavy handed. The gel isn't prone to flaking so no worries there. I love that it's protein and alcohol free.

[@letia7265]

Your curls looks more defined and moisturized. Beautiful

[@JohannaEarthlyRamos]

I love your curls too Abena! I live in Alabama and told my husband I want to plan a special trip to NY just so you can whisper to my curls!

[@NaturalisaWhy85]

Hi Abena. Happy to see you finally got a chance to try my favorite gel. What I love about Wetline is how it plays well with so many product and never have flakes. This is the gel I go to every time and AIWAYS have Awesome 👏🏽 results!

[@jannetteeffinger4142]

I'm starting to watch all of your videos and I enjoy them so much.

[@CurlyCeeCee]

Wetline gel has been the best for my hair. I have tried so many other gels but I do not get positive results like when I use Wetline. My next favorite is the Eco -green/olive oil. Love your hair! I have been considering trying this low porosity line...maybe black friday sale. Thanks for posting!

[@BklynBabe]

I get the fuzzy areas all the time because I am multitexture, but my cottony areas are huge right over my areas and coily, so I can clearly see the difference, the top of my head is wavy and wiry. I apply way more product to the cottony areas to get definition.

[@queeny7192]

Hi Abena, this was really informative and turned out beautiful as usual.

[@EmbraceNaturalBeauty]

Thank you!

[@MetaDoll]

Oh my goodness, I love that gel. I use to use eco styler but one day I decided to use that extreme and never turned back ^_^. I go back and forth between Paul Mitchel the conditioner or Aussie moist as a leave in. I think that gel seems like it more gentle on my hair than eco styler. Love your videos!!!

[@WhatTheKink]

My favorite gel is working beautifully for you! I tip my head back under the water to help the gel spread. Then, I apply some more over the canopy to catch the top parts. I feel it is better than Eco but folks want to argue you down. lol.

[@EmbraceNaturalBeauty]

Hey What The Kink, Thanks girl! Yeah, I like it better than Eco Styler too!

[@marquitafreeman9830]

It is better in my opinion!! Eco styler just doesn't work for my hair... 😟

[@Leah_Tewari]

Same here! I love Wetline Xtreme Gel! Eco has too much protein.

[@curlyworshipper]

What The Kink I agree..much better than Eco

[@arielmccalla6611]

Wow! I knew you would have Beautiful results. Wetline really adds that dark shiny effect. I've been using it for the past two years. I love that it's protein free.... or it's one of the last ingredients. Again I have to stay away from it during colder months because of the glycerin and me taking public transportation. My curls get very very dry if its cold outside. So I will use super wet. I would love to see you do a review on the super wet gel next! Oh also when applying the wetline extreme gel I will often add a pump of aloe Vera gel along with a scoop of gel and it makes the spreading down my hair shaft process much much easier. If I don't have aloe Vera then water will do just fine. I have also at times experienced the fluffy effect in certain areas as well have not quite found a way to solve that problem. Thanks for the review Abena!

[@karehijo]

Your hair came out great! I've never tried Eco Krystal, but I've recently tried Wetline, and it reminds me of glue. I like how my hair came out, but "Extreme" is the correct word for this product!

[@librasun]

I like to take a handful of the gel and before spreading it on my hair section I add a little water to the gel which adds more slip

[@Thelondongirl68]

Wow!!! Interesting... I am a diehard Ecostyler Krystal fan! I will have to give Wet Line a try though. Your hair came out beautifully, lasting all the way to day 7. I've got in between hair and I still have to dampen it a bit everyday. Thanks for the video!

[@prahootace1356]

Very good demonstration! I recall I had good results with the Wet Line gel, but haven't used it in years. I too have experienced small portions of my hair that seem bare of any products after it's dried. what I do now is use a comb & Denman brush to better help spread the products throughout my hair strands and use smaller sections. I do prefer Eco Styler gel over Wet Line though. TFS!

[@aishahill4379]

I get that poofyness too, makes me so mad!!! I think it is because of the different textures in our hair. It was so cool to see your different textures in the back and side of your hair. Great Video!!! :)

[@debbik30]

I love this gel too. Your hair looks beautiful. Where did you get your cape? I’m in need of one of these capes

[@CandymofoRockets]

I love the wet line gel, my curls are exactly like yours and my wash and gos always look amazing. But I use diy flaxseed gel first and then use the wet line gel on top. The flaxseed is more for moisture

[@EmbraceNaturalBeauty]

Cool. I used to do that with eco styler. The DIY flaxseed gel would help soften the effects of the eco styler and I would get fluffier curls.

[@thecreativelady]

Awesome results. And yes, I noticed how you dried away from the dryer. Thanks!

[@SheIsChristian777]

Gorgeous results still! have you tried the ecostyler coconut oil gel its new and its hold is also a 10 and it works better to me and gives outstanding definition to my curls! and work better than any of the ecostyler gels! give it a try!

[@DrSimpleBeauty]

I cannot treat my hair in a "one application fits all" manner. I have different hair at the crown, which I lovingly call "corpse hair." It is different in porosity, and density and if I am not careful to treat it as it needs, it will act differently from the rest of my hair. The gel took differently to your left side. I am wondering if one side of your hair is just different from the other. It's pretty common from what I understand.

[@oluwakemiarowojolu9923]

i do agree its a little hard to apply this gel. i always either add more of the SM or water. overall it looks great and shiny.

[@ShonLoves]

Yay!!!! Happy to hear it worked out for you!!! ~Delisha

[@EmbraceNaturalBeauty]

Yes! Thanks Delisha!

[@KJAlways]

Since you are using Wet Line Xtreme, that answer my question is it Curly Girl Method approved. That is important to me and my hair. I really appreciate your kindness of sharing your knowledge with us. I saw a video about a hair salon that was healing for me. And if I can find someone like you, in the future, I may return back to the hair salon since I am regaining my ability to trust them if they are honoring the Curly Girl Method.

[@tawynab1854]

I just have to ask you your opinion on something. Why it is called a "wash-n-go" when NO ONE just washes and goes. They wash, condition/deep condition, LCO or LOC, gel, shingle, praying hands, finger coil, etc . . .LOL?

[@blahblah162005]

Tawyna Brown I've asked myself this same question lol

[@stephanies3862]

Tawyna Brown Heehee exactly. I've seen some will twist their hair overnight, untwist the next morning and still call it a "wash n go". Lol

[@estherstrategicadvisor749]

Tawyna Brown LOL! Good point. ORIGINALLY people would wash, condition [IMHO, unless it's a Deep Condition that's included in definition of washing,] rub gel all over and GO, letting it air dry

[@marquitafreeman9830]

Good question.... Imagine what you tubers would actually look like if they really washed and went!! 😂

[@justinehorton2527]

Tawyna Brown my wash and go is basically wash, condition (deep condition), then I add a leave in and my favorite ogx oil and let my hair air dry. But if I'm going somewhere, I put that shit in a bun. I've been retaining length that way.

[@arielmccalla6611]

Yesss!!! I've been waiting for this! Can't wait to watch

[@annaclayton1408]

Hi I just happened to come upon your Channel and I'm so glad that u did. I know with you being a hairdresser you have given a detailed description of how this product works. Thank you VM for that. I have been natural for 1 1/2yrs now and u can't for the life of me figure out how to get my coarse hair to work with a product. I'm trying to get more length with my hair and I have learned how to do the two strand and three strand twistout on my hair. My problem is when my hair dries and I go to take it down I have the parts in my hair but also it starts to FRIZZ 😞. I wanted to try this Wetline since I have seen a few videos on it. I don't have alot of money to keep throwing away on products (which is what I am doing) and trying to find work. I usually don't have a problem spending on good hair products but I needed a hairdressers opinion. Should I try a twistout with this or is the shingling better. Thanks so much for his video. Anna

[@None-of-yours22.]

I think it looks great! I use to switched back and forth between EcoStyler the Olive Oil kind and Wetline Extreme every other week for my wash and gos. Next I am going to try the pink EcoStyler.

[@ltrotter636]

Thanks for sharing this combo, Abena. I tried it and it worked great!

[@electrabrad5365]

Thank you for the information my first time was last Friday and I love it

[@angelettacrockett3949]

Thanks for sharing, very helpful. It's e co not echo I believe.

[@totorock5193]

you have great videos and easy to follow, Thank you for your pations

[@kaylaollivierre6952]

May try this gel I don't like eco styler because they all contain protein and it makes my hair break.

[@EmbraceNaturalBeauty]

Makes your hair break? How are you applying it with or without a moisturizer first? Are you shampooing your hair, are you deep conditioning?

[@kaylaollivierre6952]

My hair is protein sensitive so the proteins in them make my hair brittle and break. I deep condition every other week and shampoo every week. Anything with protein does that to my hair.

[@EmbraceNaturalBeauty]

Yeah, I'm protein sensitive as well. I experienced dryness when using shampoo or leave in conditioner that contains moisture, but have experienced breakage. I am currently wearing my hair in braids to help retain moisture after a protein treatment I tested. A lot of the products we use contain some protein. That's why Shea Moisture introduced protein free shampoo, conditioner and leave in for Low Porosity hair. If your cleanser is free of protein, and your hair thoroughly cleansed you should be able to absorb some moisture. Having a protein free moisturizer should help you better maintain the moisture. Applying gel after successfully moisturizing your hair should not cause the hair to become dry. But it could also be the combination of the moisturizer and gel. When I combined SM Low with WC Get Set Hair Jelly or with Aunt Jackie's Don't Shrink Flaxseed Elongating Gel my Low Po section was dry. With Eco Styler and Wetline, the Low Po section retained moisture.

[@kaylaollivierre6952]

Embrace Natural Beauty I wish I could try the Shea moisture lines but being allergic to Shea butter, I have to stay away. Right now I use tea tree tingle shampoo and a Dominican deep conditioner. My leave in is from the macadamia oil line. But I'm also transitioning from relaxer and heat damage.

[@TonyaHairston]

Been using thos gel for one yr now and I love it!

[@kevkenkim03]

Your hair is beautiful

[@evelynhughes9014]

Hello there! Good to see you! I did a wash n go on me and my daughter hair the other day and next day we had flakes. I have 4b pattern. She has 4c very small curls. I've done wash n go's before but it seems like we just need one good product that won't be expensive. I've been down that road and got same or worse results. Our hair likes Blue Magic grease only not all the creams. My hair likes activator gels like Longaid and mostly the thick clear gels. My daughter hair doesn't respond well to gels unless it's oily like. Regular gels leave a residue. it seems like as long as I've been natural I'm still having problems. And I don't like continuing to buy products that I find don't work. Like I said before, our hair like hair grease. it makes it soft. My hair likes activator gels and styling gels. Not my daughter's hair. I just want the basics so I won't be wasting my time and $$. Any suggestions? Thanks Evelyn. Have a blessed day.

[@MsLavonta]

Hey!!! Love this video! Do you recommend this jel being used for every wash & go? I love gel but seems like every time I use gel it'll have my hair hard & dry!🙁

[@Siniquimp]

I use to have the same problem but I started spraying water and aloe Vera juice on my hair before I apply the gel. Or you can use a liquid leave in. For the first time every my wash and go came out really good. There was a slight crunch nut I put oil on my hands and scrunched it. That was 2 days ago. My hair doesn’t feel hard and there was no flaking at all.

[@lizzieclay6774]

Hi Abena, have you considered skpe? I am thinking about coming to see you. I live in Massachusetts. Your hair looks great.

[@Msleft1]

Hi Abena. Glad to see you tried this. I had great results with this but I struggled with the level of slip. I have since moved on. I would love your thoughts on glycerin. I live in FL so I know results depend on climate. I've recently been singing praises for Aunt Jackie's Don't Shrink Gel. Would love to see you try this line especially for climate comparison purposes . Glycerin is the 2nd or 3rd ingredient.

[@EmbraceNaturalBeauty]

Hey, I tried Aunt Jackie's a few weeks ago. The video is on my channel.

[@Msleft1]

Wow sorry I missed that one. I'll check it out.

[@Msleft1]

Hi again, I checked your wash and go reviews and didn't see Aunt Jackie's Flaxseed Don't Shrink. I did see Uncle Funky's. Am I missing something? Is the video housed in the different grouping?

[@EmbraceNaturalBeauty]

Hi, it is listed in the description box above as a related video. Shea Moisture with Aunt Jackie's Don't Shrink Elongating Flaxseed Gel kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5faoqahg7KDfZI

[@davinehill3448]

Everytime I watch this video I have to relike it ... what's up with that 🤔🤔??? It's happened with a few others too.

[@chellj1]

I thought that I was the only one. There are parts of my hair that seem like I miss putting enough product on it after it dries. I am heavy handed and take my time so I know I didn't miss any spots. Not sure why that happens.

[@rrrt6644]

It turned out very nice. I think it looks great, just slightly noodle-like the first day...but that 7th day it was amazing. I'm not convinced that this will be your go to gel, am I wrong? It does remind me of ur wash n go's when ur hair was shorter using eco. Maybe since its much longer now this gel may not give u the beautiful fluff we've become accustomed to seeing you with lately. However, whatever u choose to use its always gorgeous. This is my all time favorite gel. tfs

[@EmbraceNaturalBeauty]

Thank you so much!! As I mentioned perhaps on periscope, my favorite gel is Wonder Cur Get Set Hair Jelly. But I use it in combination with the WC Butter Than Love Pudding. Wet Line may very well be my go to gel when I want to use the SM Low Po Leave In Detangler.

[@shantricest.julian2751]

That is my favorite Gel!!!! and I used this conditioner and loved the results, but I noticed after day 4 I had single strand knots... Don't' know what that was from, but I went back to my regular conditioner and no problems..

[@duchesspatty1244]

Beautiful!

[@EmbraceNaturalBeauty]

Thank you!

[@duchesspatty1244]

Have you ever done a twist out on your hair?

[@mrsnelson8046]

Thank you I've seen this gel at dollar tree so I'll try it.

[@justinehorton2527]

Mrs Nelson That's a fake wetline. What the kink has a video on it

[@Ebizzill]

Day 7????Wow, impressive! I bought that gel, ... I was "kiiiiiind'a" feeling it.. but the residue for me was a little unbearable, but they do have the squeeze bottle option if it fancies you any.

[@EmbraceNaturalBeauty]

Umm residue? It may not have meshed well with the product underneath? What did you use it with?

[@LeaJackson90]

Take your leave it and rub some on the top of your hand, then mix with the gel.. if it's smooth then it's a good combination, if it clumps up it's a no no and you will see residue. 👌

[@napfreedom2153]

I love the Shea Moisture low porosity leave in, I have a question your in New York, I'm in Michigan. How does the leave in work for you in winter momths how do you handle the glycerin in the leave and keeping the moisture. It's my staple for the summer, haven't used in winter yet!

[@EmbraceNaturalBeauty]

Nap Freedom215 I have used through the summer and winter in New York. My hair behaves the same or I barely notice any difference from season to season. Give a try during the winter to see how it works for you.

[@napfreedom2153]

Embrace Natural Beauty Thank you, I PRAY it works. But, if not kinky curly knot today is right next to it.

[@darmarie7]

Hi, I'm new to your channel and I would like to know if u would do a video or 2 on high porosity hair care. I've been looking at a lot of ur videos on how to retain moisture and could not find any on high prorosity hare care.

[@tinker2217]

do you think using the Shea Moisture moisture mask made a difference in your result? Maybe using it w the Eco Gel would yield a similar result.

[@napfreedom2153]

Thank you for this video, i want to try a wash and go this spring. I am also low porosity! Question have you tried flaxseed gel on your hair, the protein in them is giving me pause on making some?

[@starrmonique]

This is a fav of mine. Eco seems to be too heavy for my fine strands. And eco ALWAYS flakes no matter what I mix it with

[@TandZAptLife]

How do you protect your here at night? Do you use a bonnet or do you put it in a pineapple? I have trouble with my hair being frizzy on the second day.

[@jahmeshacoffie1606]

Great video!!!😍

[@sistasoulsa]

I like my results....but I had a hard time with the Shea moisture detangler. It felt like Vaseline. I'll keep trying.

[@EmbraceNaturalBeauty]

How did you apply it? In small sections, followed immediately by the gel? or did you apply it over the entire head before applying the gel?

[@2kinkee4u]

Embrace Natural Beauty all over my head. As a result, lost alot of hair.

[@avasd59]

Could it be the Shea moisture leave in? I have extremely thick hair and the wetline gel has been the easiest so far to distribute throughout my hair. Eco styler is just too thick and doesn't have enough slip.

[@SweetRellie]

How ironic! I just used these two products for my wash and go last night. The Wetline gave me a bit more volume and fluff while Eco gives me more definition but flat and shrunken curls. I'm taking a bit from the Eco due to protein overload.

[@colleenmariet]

I don't really like the wetline. It makes my curls noodley

[@EmbraceNaturalBeauty]

umm, what do you use for your washngo?

[@vsain731]

I always have to apply more product to my left side because it is alway dryer and has less moisture.

[@micarae]

Gorgeous 😃!

[@amberwood6835]

So I'm trying to figure out why after I've just washed my daughter's hair and then add products to her hair it looks like there's so much build up. I use the Deva curl products which I LOVE but why so much build up?? I don't think I'm over using since her hair is so dry. Please help!!!

[@sevenaka7]

great!! so pretty.

[@rannym6504]

Have you tried kinky Kurly knot today and wet line clear?

[@diamondansong5328]

I have some questions for you I am having some trouble with my hair and my daughter's hair. I am 4c and she is 4a-4b and I am trying with our hair, but I feel like I am not getting anywhere my daughter is one years old. I do twist in her hair and I wash her hair weekly because if i don't it becomes dull and tangled. But my hair I wash every 2 weeks or so. (I'm pregnant, married, with a one year old so i get to it when i can) But I want to do better with our hair especially with mine. I don't know if you do any 4c hair but if so could you show some of your 4c clients. and what you do for their hair?

[@SweetRellie]

By the way, I have high porosity hair and have been loving the Low Porosity Detangler for my wash and go. If anyone tries the same combo as Abena, be careful not to use too much Detangler because both of these products have glycerin and my hair and neck are a bit sticky.

[@SingingBeeize]

Have you tried using Kinky Curly hair gel ? It is all natural.

[@EmbraceNaturalBeauty]

Yes, years ago when I had a TWA. It gave me flakes. Have not used it since then.

[@eleanorhawkins6855]

Been using Wetline for a couple yrs. I'll try the low porosity leave in and see if that will help my crown area. I have to redo my wash and go on 2nd day to get my best wash and go. How can I avoid this step for 2nd day. Should I try wonder curl- 4a 4b and 4c sides.

[@EmbraceNaturalBeauty]

You're most likely getting better results because the product has more time to absorb into the hair. Have you tried sitting under a hooded dryer or diffusing with a blow dryer?

[@Leah_Tewari]

Deep condition using a hooded dryer.

[@darmarie7]

Have u ever styled ur hair in a twist out and kept ur moisture for 5 or more days?

[@SDesir]

Does the gel flake?

[@kurvzncurlz4829]

Did you let your hair air dry in this video ?

[@kaylag5452]

Did it harden after a couple of days ??

[@evehabesha]

hey Abena, I buy from Amazon embrace natural beauty almost all the from shapoo, clarifying, protine deep conditioner, moisture boosting deep conditioner "hydratherma Natural" product I had just start using recently, And I would really appreciate if you can give us review on that, Thank you in advance.

[@EmbraceNaturalBeauty]

Hi Eve Eve, Thanks for your support. The Hydratherma products are great...I am protein sensitive so I have to limit my use of the items in the line that contain Amino Acids. I recorded my first impression months ago and will have a video review before the end of the year.

[@piajackson8441]

what do you do at night to keep it styled? thanks

[@Abc-lh8vy]

Lol she said eco it’s E-co

[@Jazzerbean]

Yes, I experience so much frizz when I let my hair air dry out (not in twists). Granted frizz even under water is natural for me (KZbinr and naturalista Dana Nicole has the same hair character). But it bothers me that frizz is dependent upon whether or not I let my hair air dry out or in twists AFTER I apply moisture. I do not do wash n gos because when I am done it is a frizzy mess making it appear dry even though I have applied moisture and sealed it with the heaviest oil (castor oil). So I have to allow my hair to dry in twists (something that compacts my hair) to maintain a moisturized look.

[@jasmynpseudonymous2065]

I literally hate wetline... so crunchy and gross. Smells strange on application, doesn't collate curls, I don't want to have to shingle every single time I wash. I wish I could see why everyone likes this so much. I really do.

[@DaniGirlover65]

Your hair is Gorgeous!!!
