Okay so this is an oldie but goodie....lol
I absolutely LOVE this go-to style. My wash-n-go is a must when I don't wanna twist or braid my hair. So with that being said, let me tell you about a product that helped me achieve this amazing style.
Kinky Curly Knot Today Leave-In Conditioner and Kinky Curly Curling Custard!!!!
I saw these products on YouTube being used in a wash-n-go and I decided to try it out. Now, I know people are wondering the cost and where to be able to purchase. Well let's just say, I've tried many things from just conditioner, to eco styler gel, etc. and NOTHING has really helped me get the look I was going for. So I found the products in Target. They are a little bit on the pricey end but they, to me, are worth the investment. The conditioner cost just under $12.00 for an 8oz bottle and the custard cost just under $17.00 for an 8oz jar. I said that I would never really pay much for products but when I bought this and tried it, I fell in love instantly.
The KCKT Conditioner is THE BEST. It's a leave-in as well as a detangler. Let me just say that this stuff is like pure silk!!! Heehee!!! Once you finish washing or "co-washing" your hair, use this as a detangler and just watch how SUPER easy the comb/brush/fingers glide through your hair. It makes finger detangling, and such, a thing that everyone with every hair type love. I often don't like to go through that detangling process because I know it takes time (I do it anyway.....lol). This conditioner/detangler cuts that time basically in half for me. It makes one ENJOY the process and not mind having it a part of their hair care regimen. I strongly suggest that anyone looking for something that will help detangle their hair to try this out. It's TOTALLY worth the cost, in my opinion. Now on to the KCCC. I use this in combination with the conditioner. It's like a lose gel like custard, and not too sticky. It reminds me of my eco styler gel but looser....lol. It smells great and doesn't cause flakes. It goes on clear and dries that way. It helps enhance the curls that you already have. It DOES NOT create curls in your head, just allows natural curl pattern to show even more.
Let me tell you how I use it. After washing and deep conditioning my hair, I put my hair into 4 to 6 sections (small sections work well). I keep my spray bottle (with H2O only) nearby because the key to the perfect wash-n-go is to keep hair saturated (soaked) with water. I take each section (drenched in water) and finger detangle as much as possible and then I add the KCKT Leave-in Conditioner/Detangler. I appy about a nickel size per section. You can always add more if needed (as well as spray hair with water if it begins to dry). I then use my brush and proceed to further detangle as well as allow the leave-in to get on all of the strands of my hair. Lastly, I apply the KCCC to smaller sections of the hair that's sectioned off. I clip the hair out of the way and rake the custard through my hair. Immediately my natural curl pattern pops/enhances. I continue this process throughout my entire head until done. I style my hair in a way I want it to dry. Once I have the style that I like I LEAVE IT ALONE!!! The wash-n-go looks it's best if it's not manipulated too much. In other words, NO HANDS IN HAIR SYNDROME!!! HeeHee!!! It's best to do this style over the weekend or on a day off work where you won't have to be outside much, unless you are always busy then by all means you can use a handheld or hooded dryer to speed up the drying process.
