Wash N Go's for Growth and Length Retention | Why I Love Them 

IG ✨ ellegoddesss

My hair flourishes in wash n go styles!! I feel like it’s less maintenance than other hair styles!!

Everything she said is accurate. My sister has a loser curl pattern 3b, but I have watched my sister grow her hair from wash and go's. She will chop her hair to shoulder length and within a year she is able to retain an extra 10 inches of hair. I think type 3 and 4 hair can grow from wash and go's. Some many type 4 ladies are afraid to do them and it's looks so beautiful. I say wash and go and when starts to look bad...Do a curly messy bun until your next wash day. Your hair will thrive. Hair loves water.

Omg not having to hide from water is the reason I LOVE wash n gos. Steam is hydration for the cuticles and my hair loves me so much when she’s steamed up. I’ve only been doing wash n go’s for 2 weeks now and I don’t see a reason to do any other hairstyle. My hair makes me smile in a wash n go ☺️☺️☺️☺️

Wash and gos and twist outs made my hair grow like crazy. I honestly hate protective styles 😂. I hate the tight manipulation. I’m so used to treating my hair so gentle and when another person touches it my scalp becomes so tender. I love to wash my hair every week because I have high porosity hair and I use a lot of product and that builds up on my scalp and causes itchiness. My wash day routine: I pre poo with a homemade fenugreek mask or hot oil treatment or aloe Vera or conditioner mix oil I shampoo my hair 2 times ( sometimes I will do a acv rinse or a clay mask ) Conditioner Deep conditioner or protein treatment or a mix Rinse with cold water Leave in Oil the scalp with hair growth oil Cream Jbco mix olive oil or light grease all over my hair to lock in the moisture. Gel I never break my gel cast because it isn’t necessary and will break on it’s own. I have high porosity 3c hair and this works for me and has helped my hair a lot.

i've been natural for 4 years now and have always been scared of doing wash and gos bc like you said, there were so many youtubers that demonized them and it scared me. as i'm now doing more research, it's making me realize that 4c hair can be just as moisturized, hydrated, and defined as every other texture; it just requires us to use more water in our routine, which makes sense since it's the texture that is prone to getting really dry. i've come across so many videos of women with type 4 hair doing 2, 3 product wash and gos, so obviously it can be a simple thing. the people that act like 4c hair is unbearable, are just playing into texturism and it's weird. this was a lovely video and i'm excited to try it out!

I used to think that my hair could not do wash and gos/wash and styles. I do realize you have to be consistent with doing them and there is a level of maintenance that is required for success. I love how you did your research and linked 4c ladies who do wash and gos!

Agree 100%! I'm 4c and wash & go's are my go to style.

Love this! I agree with everything you said in this video. I've been strictly a wash and go girl for nearly 2 years now. I wash/co-wash my hair every 4-5 days so I really don't get single strand knots anymore. Wash and go's are so low maintenance for me. I'm able to let my hair do what it do. You're so cute, and your hair is beautiful😍

Wash n Go's are perfect for me because I swim 4x a wk. I wash, deep condition, oil my scalp 1x wk, 2x month add protein. Daily-Wet hair in shower, add leave in condition, styling cream and coconut oil. Night spray water on hair and finish with coconut oil, wrap hair with silk scarf. Hair grows like crazy because of the daily hydration, followed with the daily conditioner.

Same! Braidouts actually break my hair off like crazy

It is good to do styles that work for you. I like wash and go in the summer

Everybody's hair is different. I love how you took the time to discover what works for you and stick with it! I also love wash and go's and my very high porosity hair loves when I do them two to three times a week. And it also makes a difference what products work for your hair. My hair seems to hate gels but it loves styling creams.

What an excellent explanation on WGN's! I loved your description of how WNG's benefit our hair! It helped me better understand the many pros of wearing WNG's! Thanks so much.

Great video, I totally agree! I’ve been natural for 16 months and I’ve only done wash and go’s, and my hair is flourishing!

Girl you just convinced me to go back to wash n gos

Love the vid! Your voice is so calm and reassuring. Thank you for all your tips. I agree with most. Currently lost some hair due to styling. I'm gonna cut and do wash n go til Summer 😊

I've been wanting to do a wash and go for ever I am a 3C/4A and it seems like I only get definition on the lower portion of my hair. But because of you detailed explanation about wash and go's. I'm going to really put some effort into trying them. Thank you so much for the content in this video! One Love 💕

So many amazing tips in one video 🙌🏾

Great commentary.Really enjoyed it. Very good points made.

Very good video ,very well put together you made a lot of valid points!

This gave me hope. I just started liking my wash and gos and I want to wear them more often and not wear braids like I usually do.

I am SUPER excited to find this video. I am horrible at twist out and because of that I constantly have my hair all gel up in one. The other day I tried wash and go and I was amazed at the way my curls came out. In the mornings I just spray it with some water. I have a long way to go to learn alot of things but I am so looking forward to it 2023. Awesome video.

Aww she’s so sweet and pretty. I like W&G for the same exact reasons too.

Ive been natural for 10 years and I only do wash and go… i do have a much simpler routine than i did 10 years ago and my hair is healthy and when i was relaxed for almost 30 years my hair wouldnt grow past my shoulders, i just straightened it (i do this once a year) and its almost below my bra… some tips i tell my daughters and other ladies… number one most important thing, love your hair… she is beautiful and was made just for you! Once you love that beautiful crown everything truly falls into place! Be blessed beautiful queens

Wow amazing points. Thank you for this

This video is very well done. Great tips!

i LOVE wash and gos!! as a 4c hairtype we always hear "4c can't curl" or "4c doesn't do wash and gos well" but wash and gos are like the only style i find that defines my curls in such a quick and effortless way!

First of all, you’re adorable. Thanks for this perspective, cuz I’m newly a loose natural (had sisterlocks) and wash and go’s are literally the only thing that lasts more than 3 days.

Love it , Best explanation of why Wash n Go’s are good for maintaining length… And I was gonna give up on them - before seeing this video because I felt I couldn’t perfect them .. Thanks for sharing

I love that we could agree to disagree!!! As you know, I'm one of those 4C anti-washNgos naturals. The main reason why is because I get tons of knots that have to be cut off after my rivals around one another. I personally think wash&gos are cute and healthy for those, like yourself, who truly know how to care for them! I respect your opinion to the fullest, and like we always say "to each is own!"

I enjoy wash and goes and think I'll stick to them now. Bantu knots were a fav but I frizz into an afro puff quick lol wash n goes give me that curly look I love. Thanks for video

Ohh You're sooo cute! ☺️ Great video hun! ❤️❤️

I love your energy. ❤️❤️Ima support you and subscribe.

I agree 💯 percent with everything that you said.

Great video

Gorgeous!!!!

Thank you for sharing.

I like wash and go's myself 💚 especially now that it doesn't take me a long time to do it.

Hola 😇 thank you very much 😊 blessings ❤️ 🙏

My hair LOVES WASH N GO'S! I just use my cheapie Passion Fruit Smoothie Vo5, my pantene gold series detangling milk and my oil! BOOM!

I’m 4C and did my very first successful wash n’ go today. I’m hoping this will help reduce tension on my scalp and stop of the hair loss I’ve been experiencing. :(

Did you ever make a video on how to preserve your wash n go’s?

lol you had me from the beginning haha

I concur😷

What if I constantly use my fingers to stretch my hair throughout the week with my wash and go is it still protective for me?

How cute is she??!!!

Please edit your intro. It’s not encouraging but the video in itself is lovely , I love your energy and you are informed.
