Weekly Wash and Go Week 23 | Curly Magic & I Create Hold with Trepadora Papaya Slip

[@JeeJee_xoxo]

You and Alyssa Marie really helped me realize the importance of shape when it comes to wash and go's. I got my technique down but my shape ain't shapin 😂 I need to take care of that

[@BrittanyMia]

I love Alyssa Marie 😫 She stays with a cute shape. Felt!

[@ChiannaNycole]

Glad you’re back! These videos keep me from getting bored and wanting to dye my hair, which I have sworn off after my last forced big chop 😅. Definitely team health and shape >>> length.

[@BrittanyMia]

I remember dying my hair, and my curls were visibly just fine, but my hair felt like literal straw and I had to bc 🌚 I’m glad I keep you from doing that to yourself again 😂 I also get bored, so we’re in this together!

[@indipendentopinion915]

i used to have natural hair for 4 years cut it this year in February and wow my hair has grown in a very healthy way.I stopped experimenting with different products,wore wigs most of the time my hair is never out for too long,moisturized my hair nothing special.my hair is very healthy than before and it is growing more that the previous time I had it natural

[@BrittanyMia]

That’s awesome!

Missed YOU - Welcome Back

[@BrittanyMia]

Thank you ☺️

[@monicamitchell538]

The papaya is very concentrated, so it can cause a white cast if too much or not enough water. My other fav is bamboo ginseng as a topper when it’s really humid. It came out great.

[@BrittanyMia]

I haven’t seen much of a difference between the two but they are both very concentrated. They seem really similar. Thanks 😊

[@monicamitchell538]

@@BrittanyMia yea, their pretty similar. I feel like papaya has a little more slip and bamboo is better for high humidity for my really course hair, so I use them interchangeably. When I need a quick wash and go I’ve also used the curl mix system with I create hold on top (It’s not great for me by itself). I bought the travel set months ago for a cruise. It’s a good backup option for me when I need something quick because the base gel doesn’t make my hair as tangly as Uncle and I can get through my hair faster; unfortunately I haven’t found anything better that the Uncle, Hold and Papaya or Ginseng combo, those will be my staple for now.

[@miniminott48]

Good to have you back!!!! Loved your Day 5 result!

[@BrittanyMia]

Thanks so much 😊

[@nicki1050]

Hey Brittany! We missed you! I love the shine the Ouidad oils give.

[@BrittanyMia]

Missed y’all too 🥹. Same!

[@STP255]

I’m going to retry the botanical gel approach. It hasn’t worked for me in a humid environment, with my high porosity hair. Plus my hooded dryer has helped the style setting

[@BrittanyMia]

It’s pretty humid where I am too, but using a topper gel over a botanical gel helps slow down the effect of the humidity on my hair. Hooded dryers are the MVP for setting my wash and go’s.

[@chiomanjoku6783]

Yay 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 So glad you’re back! 🤩

[@naomiomi4503]

Uhg, so much appreciated this upload. It inspired me to do my wash n go this morning. Shampoo Detangling really is the key 🗝

[@BrittanyMia]

It really is a game changer 🙌🏾

[@monicaDD]

Thanks for coming back. Thanks for hooking me on Ouidad products LOL. Love the results

[@BrittanyMia]

Thanks for still being here when I came back 😂❤️ LOL they’re addicting!

Welcome back!!

[@BrittanyMia]

Thank you ❤️

[@sonjacrudup8728]

I love watching your videos. You are very thorough and intentional with your wash n go's. Your hair is beautiful!!

[@BrittanyMia]

Thank you so much!

[@Dgirl22s]

Glad you are back 🎉 I've been so uninspired washing my hair without watching a new video of you washing yours 😂 Vid is perfection and hair looking beautiful as usual. I haven't jumped on the Trepadora train yet but I finally tried the curls blueberry Bliss and I love it. Keep it going ❤️

[@BrittanyMia]

Glad to be back 🙌🏾 tbh I went about 3 weeks with the same wash and go 😅 life! I haven’t tried Curls Blueberry Bliss in yeeears. Imma put that on the list. Thank you 😊

[@melissaholcombe3958]

Right on time.... I just thinking about this combo lol

[@positive647]

NICE, as usual! I LOVE THE TREPADORA PRODUCTS. This Trepadora Papaya Slip has a lot of slip for me. I was pleasantly surprised. I also like I don't need a lot of product. I tried their leave in and oil which I also like.

[@BrittanyMia]

Thanks! There has been a bit of a learning curve for me, but I’m starting to fall for Trepadora as well. At first, I hated the hair rinse. I thought it was too gentle and not very good with cleansing. However, this is a great detangling shampoo! It’s perfect after a balancing shampoo. That’s good to know, I’m gonna put those on my list to try.

[@positive647]

I am glad you continued with using this line. Although it is expensive, you definitely do not need to use a lot since it is concentrated. I look forward to your videos, just to see what products you are going to use next. Have an enjoyable Thanksgiving.

[@jona-renee.richardson347]

Welcome back lady! I love the curls & the shape. I'm still trying to take the plunge to get more of a shape myself. I cut all of my hair off last December, and it's about the length & shape of your hair before your cut. Decisions, decisions lol 🤔

[@BrittanyMia]

Thank you! Whew, you’ve retained a lot of length 🤸🏾‍♀️ it’s a worthwhile plunge I’d say. Love a shape! If you decide to get the shape, let me know how you feel afterwards!

[@creboski]

Glad you're back. I swear youre hair grows so fast! Sorry if this has been asked, what type of hooded dryer is that? Can't wait to hear your faves at week 25.

[@BrittanyMia]

No worries, it’s linked in a description box at the very bottom. FYI it’s currently on sale!

[@Mm-ex9hx]

I love your shape!!! It makes you look so elegant and beautiful 😍😍

[@BrittanyMia]

This is the first time my hair has been described as elegant, and I absolutely love it. Thank you 🥰🥰

[@1GoldenBreeze]

Welcome back, very nice comeback!💜 The shape is shaping. It will be nice to see which combo you like best. I watched Just_Tanoe earlier and her shape is similar but the sides are shorter and no bangs. It looks great on both of you.🥰 I'm a side part girl I can't pull off a middle part or bangs in my face.

[@BrittanyMia]

Thank you! 🤗 I just watched her video as well. I tried to do a side part but my hair was like nah. I’m excited to share my favorites here soon.

[@nikitalavres6770]

Hey! Love this video and the attention to detail! I was wondering: When/Why you started using quiet calm as a leave-in ? What have you noticed when you use it before UFD?

[@BrittanyMia]

👋🏾 thank you! I started using it as a leave-in when I first tried it. I noticed, when I was a part of the See Some Curls community, that it was listed as a topper, but it’s absolutely not for me. It has no hold and is much more of a moisturizing product. When I used it, I found it to be a light cream that mixed well with Curly Magic. I have only used it a few times and I can’t quite remember how much I liked it, but I know that it worked pretty good as a leave-in.

[@makeupfan84]

@@BrittanyMia Yeah a topper with no hold. Personally I don’t use leave-in. Have you tried styling with only UFD+ICH + PS alone?

[@BrittanyMia]

@@makeupfan84 nah, I haven’t. PS has such strong hold and I’m planning on playing around with it in the future to see how I can make it work for the look that I like, which is more voluminous.

[@joythompson9530]

You are REALLY INSPIRING me too get a curly cut and a dryer!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@BrittanyMia]

🥰🥰 Go for it! The dryer is indispensable for me.

[@naomiomi4503]

I love love love the briogio banana system of shampoo and conditioner. Maybe once you get through your stash that's an amazing black owned brand you can try. It's equivalent to ag balance and boost

[@BrittanyMia]

I’ve had my eye on Briogeo for literally years now. Thank you for the recommendation. I’m definitely going to try that out when I get through some more of this stash ❤️ P.s. Briogeo has been acquired by Wella Company, so they are no longer black owned 🥹

[@jakobowwww8526]

Welcome back ❤ I have a question. During the first year of you growing your hair out when was your first trim?

[@BrittanyMia]

Thank ya 💕 my first haircut wasn’t until May of this year. I waited a year and four months after my big chop to get a haircut. I would’ve gotten one sooner but I could not find a specialist until May.

[@jakobowwww8526]

@@BrittanyMia okay Thank You :)

[@adaobieshi4297]

Hey! Good to see uuuuu❤ Im always amazed at how your hair isn’t very big after brushing. I feel like brush detangling separated all my curls and no amount of water or conditioner can get it to lay again! Great vid as always

[@BrittanyMia]

Good to see you too 💕 how do you shampoo your hair? It may have something to do with that, but also our hair is very vast and different. Thank you

[@kkgirl543]

Why did you put quiet calm and control before the base gel? I thought it was only supposed to be for twist outs

[@BrittanyMia]

It’s a styling lotion that can be used for multiple styles. I used it as a base or leave-in underneath the trepadora gel.

[@lelisharios1866]

I just thinking about I have not seen you and ya FIRE hair

I'm soooooo happy you're baaaaaack! Your hair has grown alot and it's very beautiful 😍 😍😍😍😍 I can't wait until my transitioning gets to this length so I can cut off the relaxed ends! Very beautiful 😍 ❤

[@BrittanyMia]

🥰🥰 Thank you so much!!

[@cydashlee]

Love your hair Any reason you used the papaya slip as a topper vs using the icreate hold as a topper instead?

[@BrittanyMia]

The Papaya Slip is more concentrated than the I Create Hold, so it’s better as a topper for me.

[@lydalee4848]

I love this length/shape! Just cut my hair and shape is important! May have to use gel instead of a two twist strand method for my curls.

[@BrittanyMia]

It really is important! I’m glad I decided to take the leap before I got too attached to the length because shape matters a lot more to me.

[@BrittanyMia]

😂😂 I’m not even mad at you. I’ve tried the no leave in quite a few times, and gel does not do a good job by itself of holding in water without a leave-in. I used the Innersense curl cream as a leave-in this time but not as generously as I usually do.

Hey i remember in a comment or video you have no interest in straughtening your hair because you said it changed you hair. How about blowdrying your hair?

Btw missed these videos. hair looks great as always🥵😍

[@friedchicken892]

And do you have a comb link to the first tool you used?

[@BrittanyMia]

I don’t mind blow drying my hair as much as I do straightening, but it is still a concern. I’m interested in the Dyson, and the Revair for stretched styles in the future, or even for stretching a wash and go. Thanks! I just added a link.

[@friedchicken892]

@@BrittanyMia Thanks for always responding. I am going to try no more heat,just only to dry hair for wash and goes. My hair is pretty dense and near bsl so stretching isnt needed. Plus since I stil lhave some heat damage im pretty sure the curls wont last if their stretched. I did get a trim/cut last week so I am excited to wash my hair

[@BrittanyMia]

@@friedchicken892 of course. I heard that stretching your washing goes is good for single strand knots but I definitely understand not wanting to mess up your curls if you have heat damage.
