Your hair looks nice. One thing I’ve researched and learned is that us with kinkier texture should use the system backwards. It’s a reverse wash n go. Instead of using the knot today first right after conditioner, use the gel. Use enough so that is just coats the hair which shouldn’t be as much as you used in this video. Then use the knot today on top as the styler. Supposedly the knot today has more hold and it will eliminate that gummy feeling from all the gel. I haven’t tried this myself yet but when I do get the system again that’s how I plan to do it. Since you have the products already it may not hurt to just try to see. Hope it works out for you! Love the channel.
This is one of my FAVORITE brands. Just a few tips. Your hair should be SOAKING wet. Use a GENEROUS amount of the Conditioner AND Gel. Here are the steps: - wash hair - rinse hair - apply conditioner WHILE SOAK WET - detangle and section hair Then grab SMALL section of hair - apply: water- conditioner - oil - gel Use DENMAN BRUSH to brush product through SMALL section of hair. This will ensure each strand is coated and will help clump your curls. After using brush I'll coil or shingle that small section You have to WORK IT! Good luck!
I love it on my hair, and I’ve been using it for years. To me it works best with the shampoo and leave in within the line. I definitely do not add any other products.With all three, a little goes a long way so it’s cost effective in my opinion.
Hi Nessa~ Your hair came out nice! Don't give up on Kinky Curly. It truly works. To get the ultimate wash and go with Kinky Curly, put Kinky Curly Knot Today in the shower. Then follow up with Kinky Curly custard gel on soaked wet hair. I also put the gel in my hair in the shower and shake. The wetter your hair the better. 🥰
I actually like it a lot. I do feel like with wash n gos, it is important to rake the product through the hair and your hair does need to be pretty damp/soaking wet. I would use this for a twist out. I'm still trying to perfect my journey with gels and custards as well. I perfer mousse
Your hair looks great 😊! I just tried this combo the other day it’s not my favorite either.. the stickiness is real!! soft hold and I found my hair feeling quite dry even though I used the leave in. I would like to also add it smelled bad too😩
I know this is an old vid but, when you used this gel and it feel stick aft ur hair is dry, that means you used too much. There is a right balance with the gel & water when applying, and thats something you will learn if you use it constantly. Hope that helps.
I really like your wash and go. KCKT is the first leave in I bought when I first went natural back in 2012. I used it as a prepoo/detangler. I'm not much of a wash and go natural, but I may eventually try the gel.
When I use this product I have to use a lot of water are it’ll be really sticky but the hold on my hair is medium/strong😟I think your hair looks great tho🙂
Our hair is pretty different but I had a similar experience with this gel. It’s just…weird to me. I’m not a fan of botanical gels. Your hair looks good but of course you know it best.
Hey Allison, I know I could not be the only one out there. Yes, the overall look is good but it’s just the fact that I like more hold. What are your favorite gels for wash n gos?
@@Leaveit2Nessa hey hey. Right now I like the Curls B N control. It’s only about $6, pairs with a few (not all) leave ins I like, has a strong hold and causes nice clumping.
Honestly, I know you don't like doing your wng in the shower, but you really need a lot more water in your hair. It should be sopping wet or it will feel gummy.
Well at least it looks like you got better results this time around now that you are more experienced with the process of doing a wash n go. But for me, if it doesn't give good hold, the gel is a waste of time.
