Wash And Go

-


Hey Sistas, a wash and go is my go to hair style. It is super simple in the summer; especially for me I just wash my hair and go. The name tells it all; basically you wash your hair and go on with your day. Although, a wash and go is simple for me it is a harder for others especially trying to find the right products. A lot of products are not needed for a wash and go but you still have to attempt to add in something that will give your natural hair some shine and moisture. Here are the steps to achieve a successful wash and go. 



1.      First Co-wash your hair with a conditioner ( OGX Biotin & Collagen). Washing helps get rid of all the product build up. Using conditioner to co-wash helps moisturize your hair. Shampoo strips your hair of its moisture that is why it is importation to co-wash with conditioner. 



2.      While I’m co-washing my hair I part my hair into section and detangle my hair with a wide tooth comb. A wide tooth comb really separates the hair strands.   Next I wash out all of the conditioner and began my wash and go process. 


3.      I apply my leave- in -conditioner (Cantu Shea Butter Leave - In – Conditioner). Leave in conditioner helps detangle, helps with frizz, and helps moisturize all in one. I apply curling cream (Cantu Activator Cream) I use a spray bottle to spray my hair with water to keep it wet while applying all my products.

4.       Next I apply a small amount of defining cream (Aunt Jackie’s Defining Curl Custard).This defining cream really helps define my curls, and it smells really good. While using   this cream I use my fingers to twirl my curls and really define them.
   

5.      Next I use Mousse, to put on top of my hair. The mousse (Smooth’N Shine) helps so my hair won’t become frizzy throughout the day. I have really soft curls so any humidity makes my hair frizz. The mousse helps hold my hair in place.


6.       Lastly, I use my spray bottle one more time to dampen my hair. I make sure all the products are moisturized well into my hair. I am all done with my wash and go. I head out the door.




These steps will help you with a simple wash and go. Although, these products work for my hair they may not work for your hair texture. A wash and go is a trial and error just like every style is when it comes to natural hair. A wash and go is super simple and cute especially when you are in a rush. Once you find the prefect products for your hair a wash and go might just become your go to hairstyle for the summer. Bye, Sistas!

Nighttime Routine

Hey Sistas, I have a video showing you how I take care of my wig while my natural hair is braided under the wig. It is important to take care of your weave and your natural hair while wearing a wig. I have had this hair for two years but the first time I wore the hair as a sew in. I let a friend make a wig out of it and this is how I have been wearing my hair lately.   At night rime I detangle my hair and add OGX conditioner and water to it.   I mix OGX conditioner and water in a spray bottle and I wet my hair all the way through. After I wet my hair all the way through I comb through it once again to make sure it is all detangled. Next I twist my hair up and I take my wig off at night and place it on a styrofoam wig head to dry overnight. In the morning I wake up put my wig cap on and place my wig on top of the wig cap. I also oil my natural hair at night with Tea Tree Oil to insure my real hair is still getting moisture. This nighttime routine is super easy and it leaves my w

Hey Sistas, many girls in college are natural and love their natural hair, but it can definitely be a hassle. There are those day where you just really don’t know what to do with your hair. Many college girls choose to wear protective hairstyles such as; braids, weave, wigs and twist.   Between classes, homework, work, and extra-curricular activities protective hairstyles are easier to maintain. I sat down with Dana Mitchell to talk about her natural hair journey and protective hairstyles. Q: When did you become natural? A: I became natural around 2015. I was tired of my relaxed hair and it was not growing how I wanted it. Q: How has your natural hair journey been? A: My natural hair journey has been great!   I will say going natural was the best thing I could have done. My hair has grown way longer and it is thick and healthier. Q: Did you transition or did you do the big chop? A: I transitioned; I did not have the guts to cut my hair. I was scared I would look fun
