Well, since my hair has been filling in nicely I decided to start playing with a center part. I think that I'm pulling off the look without the spot being noticed pretty well. I wore clips in my hair to hold the curls out of my eyes because my hair is getting longer (fist pump in the air) and I achieved this look with just conditioner. No gel! This time last year I was an Eco Styler gel wearer and I loved it! Now, I'm busy and find that every gel I use eventually flakes but my conditioner is clear and stays clear until I wash it out.
I'm finding that for me gel is better for the humid months when I want hold and no frizz. I also like to use it to slick down my edges when I wear a puff, pony tail, or bun. Now to be honest yes, I did spray some water in my hair and I did smooth some conditioner into my hair to revitalize my curls, but this is basically the curly girl method so that is not anything new. Overall, my wash n go's keep there shape and slowly friz out, and softens as it frizzes. My twist outs only look good on day one and start to look matted and undefined by day two. That's okay a little bit, but by day three I'm starting to look like a hot mess! I'm a professional and I need to look presentable. So, I have to get creative by pinning up the sides and pulling my hair up into a puff, which is alright. While my wash n go's are still rocking and looking awesome with no modifications on day three. Let me know your thoughts, just be nice. Until next time...
Blessings!
Your hair looks nice! I was looking at your opening picture to the three in this post... It has grown so much! Good job :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you! Yes, my hair is growing out nicely.
DeleteLooks amazing!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteNice. Very nice. I'm working on Day 3 of my WNG, too. Yours is very nice. The real difference is between days 2 and 3 but it is so slight. You and my daughter can do the conditioner only hair do. Me? I'd look like a tumbleweed.
ReplyDeleteI truly believe that our hair is very unique and different. That's why it is important to learn what works for you. I love the conditioner only look for winter. In the summer I need more hold to prevent frizz so I'll use more gel then. Good to hear from you.
DeleteIt pretty much looks the same on all three days, shiny and defined. Mine tends to have more volume as the days pass. It looks really nice and I agree it is really growing and might I add healthy looking!
ReplyDeleteThank you! My hair is healthy! When I look at pictures of when I had relaxed hair all is see is broken unhealthy hair.
DeleteWow! Your second and third day is so similar to your first. Your hair holds well and conditioner alone is working great. You may have figured something out with the gel only for the humid months and the part down the middle looks really good on you.
ReplyDeleteThank you about the part. I have been afraid to part my hair in the middle because of my problem spot, but now I have more hair and courage.
DeleteHi Jen, what products are you using? Your hair looks very nice and I find conditioner only is fine in the cooler months. Only when the humidity is high do I need a slight light gel of some sort to tame the frizz. Do you still use Aussie Moist?
ReplyDeleteBTW, your hair looks great and is growing very healthy and consistent!
I still use Aussie Moist. I have been adding aloe vera gel, castor oil, and jojoba oil to the Aussie Moist. Every time I use another conditioner I seem to come back to Aussie Moist. Thank you for the compliment!
DeleteI so wish I could do Wash n Go's in the winter. It's so cold here in NY right now that my hair would dry out too much
ReplyDeleteI totally get the wet head cold months because MN gets very cold also. I style my hair damp never dripping wet. Only when it is sub zero do I notice that my hair freezes. Since I add oils to my conditioner I find my hair doesn't dry as much.
DeleteIt is growing! And it looks so nice on you. Love it!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
