A lot of the mistakes you’ve made in this video is what I do on a daily basis. Probably why my wash n goes be lookin tragic lol. Thanks Kim, I really did learn a lot 👏🏾💛
@@LF_RN I am sooooo glad she revealed the truth because this is how I be messing up my Wash n Gos smh.... I thought I had it down pack but my hair will never look like theirs..... But today I actually learned the truth..... MAD RESPECT TO HER
For the person that asked (this is what I got from it). Others can chime in if they got other tips. 1. Apply products in the shower (at least the leave in so your hair can fully get the moisture) 2. Use heat (body heat via plastic bag, blow dryer, hot water, etc) to make sure keep your hair moisturize before you style 3. When applying products, check how it reacts to your hair. With LP hair it will take a minute to absorb but if you notice it's not absorbing don't add more product. Try starting from scratch cause it won't come out as good as you might like (it will just sit on your hair) 4. Once you apply the product correctly, sit under a hooded dryer (or airdry your hair. Time varies for how long your hair generally dries). It will elongate your curls. A diffuser of blow dryer is nice but it drys your hair unevenly and chances are your hair will shrink or some parts might not be dried (as I always experience) 5. Get a technique that works for you. You will learn, through trial and error, how to get your best wash and go so learn your hair. Find out what it likes and how it reacts and stick to it. That's it. Thanks again Kim for the tips
im curious on the time frame between on adding products to my lp hair... I know to do leave-in cond while in the shower for better results but how long should I wait to add the other products?? and should I still do in shower ?? maybe with it hot and steamy in the bathroom to keep the hair cuticles open ?
Anybody willing to expose themselves like this for the mistakes they made in a tutorial has earned my trust. About to watch all your wash and go videos now.
GIRRRLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!! Kimberly!! KIM GIRL!!! Let me tell you have switched up the game!!!! I deep conditioned with Aussie moist 3 min mask, did my busy in the shower 🚿, rinsed and applied my Shea moisture black Jamaican castor oil leave-in and ECO styler gel in Argan oil and GIRRRRLLLLLL my wash-n-go has never been this popping!!!! OMG GIRLLLL NEVER HAS A RUclips VIDEO GIVEN ME SOOO MUCH LIFE!!!!! Like y’all don’t understand I wish I could I could drop a pic!! Everyone always say type 4b/4c hair can’t do wash-n-go’s 🙄🙄🙄 I’ve been out the shower for about 20 minutes now and my sister and mom are both asking me to do their hair! You have made me a believer of the shower routine!! 😍😍😍😍💯💯💯💯💯
I should mention that I did get out the shower after the leave in and put a bag over my head while I towel dried myself off before putting the eco styler gel in. But I did however leave the door locked closed to keep the heat in 😂😂😂 still my wash and go has never turn out this way and it’s all because I did the majority of it in the shower!
The education! My gosh, this is what we need. Help us understand what changes our wash and go’s; why last time was bomb and this time wasn’t. Help us understand techniques, reviews only help so much! I believe this is why you’ve grown so much. The value in the videos you produce provides so much more than just the regular entertainment of it all and that’s why we rock with you. ✊🏾
Your hair wasn't dry the next day because you (micro)towel dried your low porosity hair after washing, and applied product onto already dried hair and therefore the products didn't penatrate your hair but just sat on top of your hair strands, causing your hair to remain covered with product sitting ontop 😊
@@artsychique if you paid attention, Kimberly said that if you're paying attention to the video comment to answer her test question, why you didn't think her hair dried. Yeah, she said it, and she asked her viewers to comment the answer.
I never put my leave in in my hair while I was in the shower and that's probably exactly why my little wash and go never came out the way I wanted it to! I'm finna go wash my hair and put that leave in in my hair while I'm still in the shower and try another wash and go cuz I honestly had have up on those and just stared sticking to twist outs! You a real one for breaking this down for us like this!!
Mica Murry I literally NEVER apply my leave-in while I’m still in the shower and not to brag or anything but my WashnGos are amazing! But I do want to try it to see if I see a difference.

OMG this is exactly how my wash and go turns out as to why I just gave up on them. I just assumed my hair didn’t like gels because my hair would be wet for like two days and my hair would never absorb the product! This is definitely giving me hope on doing a wash and go again! Oh yeah then once it dries it flakes!
Hair didn’t dry bc product just sat on top of the hair never soaking in then you kept layering them. Also you usually blow dry your roots in all your videos but you didn’t this time. This video was VERY INFORMATIVE tho I really appreciate it
Yes!! So when I dry my roots my hair Is normally pretty dry. Since this didn't dry I couldn't touch it :( ahhh so much more I should have stated but im glad this helped a bit

You are definitely an educator. Now i can enjoy all these gels and such with out frustration. Thank you x 1000.
Thank you for posting this!!! I have low porosity hair, and I've been having trouble doing a wash and go for the longest while. This definitely helps with everything and shows what I've been doing wrong.
Sis, you have saved my wash n go! I was doing everything you did in this video wondering wtf happened! I changed my technique today and wow! HUGE DIFFERENCE! My hair is soft and bouncy! Thank you!!
Yes my mom is a relaxer girl she had long straight hair til a lady out relaxer in to long and now I tell her ends to roots or nit to put box braids in while my edges are thinning or not heat cause my edges are thinning and she don’t believe me
Oh MY GOODNESS! Girl, you have nailed my issue! My hair looks JUST like yours in this video whenever I'm applying product outside of the shower!! THANK YOU IMMENSELY for sharing this video and providing the voice-over with the tips and critique! You have helped me tremendously!!
Hair is honestly a learning process. I have Low Porosity Hair too and my best results are when I’m in the shower 😊! Thanks for sharing your fail! It’s very transparent and relatable 🥰♥️
I have not commented on a youtube video before but I am so shook and I must say this. I did the big chop almost 2 years ago but have been wearing my hair in senegalese twists because I kept struggling with my wash and gos being so dry and undefined and I was ready to give up. But I decided to try again for the holidays because your video pointed out a bunch of problems that I had been having. I didn't realize I had low porosity hair and I had been doing everything wrong. I just changed my regimen based on your tips and it is like NIGHT AND DAY. I cannot believe it. I have not seen my hair like this in years. My curls are popping and I feel so so so happy so I just want to thank you so much. Please keep up the videos I am so grateful :)
Excellent video. You dropping knowledge on this one. I have low porosity hair too & never ever come out of the shower w/o a leave-in in my hair. Thank you for sharing this info for us low porosity girls & guys.
I really appreciate you showing us this video. You really do know your hair and what it takes to get your desired look. Lot of folks think it’s the products but more so how you apply them. Side note: if I don’t feel like my hair is absorbing the products, I wrapped my hand around that section of my hair, make a fist and squeeze. I hold it for like 10-20 seconds so that it can absorb into my hair. I learned that from EmbraceNaturalBeauty. It truly works.
That was really a great video! Honestly one of the most helpful videos I've watched since getting serious about my natural hair journey! I really appreciate you not only stating what mistakes are commonly made but to actually SHOW us! You're doing amazing! Thank you!
I've been directing everyone I know with low porosity hair to your channel! We have to forget everything we've learned over the years, a lot of those rules do NOT apply to us! This is one of the best and most accurate vids on low porosity I've watched ever, so thanks for this!
Best low porosity video EVER!!! So informative! Using yourself as an example was PERFECT!!! Now I know what I’ve been doing wrong. Can’t wait to wash my hair!!!
Literally just had a damn epiphany with this video. Figures out I’m low porosity and why the products sit on the top of my hair when I spray it with cold water...God is good. We moving forward sis 🙏🏾
" Pretty okay "was my vibe for 2018... 😭😓 had to make it work So this has left me FULLY informed I have some other things to get together before I start rocking my wash and gos. Also firmly believe that my hair is low porosity.... or low to normal porosity in some sections. I know when I dont sit under a dryer my hair at the roots always takes longer to dry especially if there's product....currently I dont have a hooded dryer so I endure and air dry ...I never thought about it before that it was also linked to the porosity...hmm
Girllll the only reason I know this stuff is bc I do like 3 wash n gos on my hair a week. It takes a min to get a good routine but I hope I can help along the way.
Kimberly Cherrell you definitely are. I'm a planner so you're totally helping me feel more prepared for when I want to set out into some different styles in 19' and what to expect out of my wash days. Techniques are key. You and the ladies are really helping a sis out.
Connie Arrington I believe that has more to do with the fact the influencers are making videos throughout the week therefore trying out different techniques and products so even they tend to manipulate their hair more... I could be wrong.
This video was sooo helpful. The best video I've seen. I did/experienced everything wrong in this video and never styled my hair in front of the mirror. Recently I realized the benefit of standing in front of a mirror to watch my hair.
I love that you showed us this!! I’ve now figured out why my wash n go comes out bomb sometimes and not so good other times with the same products!! #LessonLearned
I have low porosity hair also...and gurl! this right here is a whole process...That's why I just twist my hair..because wash and gos..that's a part time gig lol..But this was very informative and very helpful..maybe I'll give it a try. Thanks so much for sharing and your hair is gorgeous.
All that water probably just sat on top of your hair sis since it never absorbed into your hair. This was eye opening to me because I don’t have a hooded dryer now I know how much using a blow dryer can add frizz to my wash n go 😬. But I always ALWAYS use you methods of applying my leave in in the shower and the curls be juicy girl. So thank you Kim 🥰❤️!! #KimCheGang
Destiny Diamond Typically my hair will shrink up and it takes forever and a day to dry girl if I dont use heat. I usually use a diffuser to dry my hair and dry from roots to ends.
Did your hair also flake? Is this a reason why hair flakes as well? Lately I’ve noticed a lot of products flaking in my hair and I had a suspicion it’s because it’s not absorbing on my hair properly.
I said what I said! You just pushing out facts on Christmas Eve, Kimmie lol. I already knew after you added the leave-in that this was not gonna go well. Leave-ins are to be added in the shower on low porosity hair. I put hot water in my spray bottle then spray 3-4 sprays in the sink to get the cold water out of the tube before I spray water on my hair. Thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas!
I know I'm super late but this is usually how my wash and go's come out so I've learned quite a few things for this video! This was a very teachable moment and I'm so glad you decided to share! Thanks so much!
Why didn’t I see this video 4 hours ago when I started to apply my leave-in, but put a towel on my wet hair so I could start dinner? (And then wondered why my 1st ever wash & go didn’t turn out right, because all the products sat on top of my low porosity hair & flaked off when it dried. 😡)You just answered all my questions in 12 minutes & 33 seconds! THANK YOU SO MUCH 🙏🙏🙏
Girl, thank you thank you! That’s what my wash n gos look like. I tried your method and for the FIRST time I have a wash n go that I like. Still needs perfecting but I have a clue now. I have never successfully diffused my hair. Now I just need to know how to keep it moisturized and looking shiny past day one.
I decided to grow my hair out 4 months ago and you've earned my complete trust. When you said you study your hair and explained what was going on at each process PLUS gave reasons for doing certain things, it showed that you've spent time to become an expert; And as a yute who cyaa really be bothered with the whole heap of ambiguity on hair care, you're really helping a brother out! Thanks! (if you cant understand sme of the stuff i typed it's because I live in Jamaica and using standard english is a hassle sometimes. Especially when a nuff tings mi have to type)
Your hair isnt dry because your lo-po and when you stepped out the shower with DRY hair, it's harder for products to fuse (bind) together and work in your hairs favor. So the product AND the added cool water is just SITTING on your hair now. You can still see the product in your hair. Your hair is still beautiful tho😘
Ok u won with this video suuussssss .!!! Talk to em🗣 First of all to waste products just to show ur subscribers in detail wat can be ur problem of wash and gos not coming out right shows the kind of person u are. This will help so many ppl from wasting money, time, and energy I applaud u for this video its so informative and authentic. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 There was another youtuber that made a video about wash n gos saying “nobody hair really looks like that” youve proven that is not true🗣🗣🗣 Facts from this video: 1. your hair can be manipulated the way u want 2. Its not wat u use its how u use it ur technique 3. ALL HAIR TYPES ARE DIFFERENT You the goat 🐐 Thank u for this video
You are the bomb for this. I see where I mess up and why my hair only turns out decent. I know I’m about to be looking like a Queen frfr now! Thanks sis! Blessings 🤍
Thank you soo much for this 2 years old video! I am from Brazil and recently moved to PA and I was struggling with my low porosity hair never getting moisturised here in this cold weather. Now I know the problem, I need to apply my products in the shower when it is warm. I never had this problem in Brazil because it is hot the whole year there and my hair was always warm when I was applying my products.
I apply a leave in immediately after I get out of the show. Then I put my hair in 4 to 5 chunky twists/buns. In the morning I rewet with warm water. I apply my cream and detangle with Felicia. I then go in with my denman to get the curls to clump. Then I squeeze out excess moisture, so that my hair feels moisturized and damp(NOT WET). Finally I go in with a hard holding gel with the shingling method.
Only use warm/hot water to style your hair and room temperature/warm products. Cold/room temperature water/products just sits on my strands. Hot water is the best. When you feel the water in your water bottle going cold, simply replace it with hot water again.
Pretty Big’s comment is spot for how you can do it. You can also just apply your leave-in, in the shower then do everything outside the shower. However, as a low porosity natural, I don’t think we even need leave-in. Leave-in’s purpose is to smooth the cuticle. Low porosity already has closed cuticles. Our goal also isn’t to get warm leave-in into our strands because leave-in does not nourish the inside of the hair (cortex) just provides smoother surface for gels/stylers like a nail polish base. I find my hair is more dried out when I use most leave-ins. I either do the routine Pretty Big suggested with a light moisturizer in place of leave-in (e.g. Camille Rose Fresh Curl) and pin in buns to soak in before gel or I apply a gel straight to soaking wet hair. The gel should have botanical/healthy ingredients if it is going straight onto the hair.
Thank you so much for this priceless info! SIS! This is how my hair looks when I do my wash and goes and I always wondered why it looked white when saturated with products. I have always wanted to do a wash and go where the products went on clear. I would be looking a hot mess because my products would be sitting on top of my hair instead of my hair absorbing them. I have tried to use other products and got the same results. It would take all day and then some to dry. This is me exactly! Thanks for the facts!
Excellent pointers. I started applying my leave-in while in the shower and it really does make a difference. Thanks Kimberly. You the Real MVP 😂😍👍🏾. Merry Christmas!
This was one of the besttt natural hair videos I have ever seen! I've been wondering for months what I've been doing wrong, tried switching up soo many things in my routine. Thank you!!
I've never heard the explanation like this. This is very helpful. I will let the leave-in conditioner sit in my head a bit then seal in with oil then put my cream on top
WOWWWWW this video was super informative. I’ve recently returned to having a twa after having sister locks for a few years. So I’m getting use again to doing wash and go’s again and this video is simply low porosity hair SALVATION sis!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!!!! 🙏🏾😊
Thanks for the tips Kimberly. You are the QUEEN of wash n go’s for low porosity hair. I am still trying to get it right. I’m going to binge watch all of your wash n go videos while I have a few days off from work for the holidays. Have a very Blessed and Merry Christmas.
This video was Super helpful. Literally everything you said not to do I was doing and wondering why it was never coming out right. Please do more videos like this lol
Girl I wish someone did high porosity wash and go as well as you explain low Idk why I’m studying your technique so hard when it don’t apply to me but girl I’m still taking notes👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
Laaady, I’m hurt just looking at your hair. 😩However this confirmed for me why the Deva Dryer (Hand-held) did not work for me, when my stylist “clearly” told me to get a hooded dryer. The two do not produce the same results. I also learned from this video that if the hair is feeling and looking frizzy and not smooth when wet, to STOP and evaluate before styling my whole head and regretting it the next day, lol.
Omg have you been peepin in my window lmbo!!! this is me on wash day ugh so I just finally stopped and been doing twist outs, now I will go back and try these techniques, thank you!! MY new Favorite RUclipsr yess!!!
Had to subscribe! This is totally what my natural hair will do; thank you so much for this video! Now I'm gonna have to binge your channel...okay tomorrow, cuz I gotta go tackle my own hair!
Wow Kim! Never again will I come out of the shower without my leave in. I can literally see the difference in your hair. Adding back that moisture to your hair while it's in its wet state is a must! The water literally sat on top of your hair🙄. Still haven't tried a wash and go but lemme keep tuning into your videos and I'll be good to go👌👌 This video was most helpful and brutally honest. Thanks girl for keeping it real as always
VERY HELPFUL!!! I wish I had this video when I first started doing wash and gos! It would have saved me from a lot of disasterous hair days and wasted products due to flaking. Thank you!
YES, education for the low-po’s! Half of these “mistakes” were a part of my wash and go attempts 😩 let me keep trying though. My guess is it’s not dry because your hair follicles were already closed from the cold water and the products are trapped in all the of the water that was sitting on and not IN your hair
You have educated me sis! New to your channel but I’m in love with how you do your hair! You have helped me so much bc me and my hair have been going through it!
Thanks for the tips! I know what not to do now and why my hair don't be looking to hot. And Kim your hair is lovely and is getting long! Maybe you can give us a detailed video of what to do to get the best moisturized, defined stretched wash n go with combo products that work well with each other.
Liiiikkkkee duh why didn’t i think of that it makes so much sense to add leave-in in the shower when doing wash & go’s shoot doing my hair period. Thank you sis 🙏🏽 😘.
Watching this videos makes so much sense. Even though I’m not sure what porosity my hair is I see some mistakes that I can fix or test and see if it works. This was a good video that hit us with the truth 💯😊
OMG....Kimche, I so appreciate this video. I could not understand why my wash n go's were a no no. Thanks so much. I will try them again because I just didn't understand. My twist outs were bomb but wash n go's not so much. I'm so grateful I found you're channel, no one else never explained this, perhaps they didn't know.
Now I see why my hair is always frizzy and looks a messy when I diffuse it. I’m so glad I watched this!! Makes me so much confident to do my next wash and go . Thank youuuuuuuu
I literally have your exact same hair types and I have been making ALL of these mistakes. No wonder I can never retain moisture and my wash and go’s look terrible! This has literally been the best wash and go video I’ve ever seen. You’ve earned my subscribe and like.

Can you do a high porosity version ?
@@Jenna-zl9su everything she did wouldn't be as bad on high porosity because the hair can absorb all the moisture better

Ouch 😅
It all started when you did NOT apply your leave-in in the shower. Huge lesson to be learned there. Thanks for doing this video.

so basically i have to watch all of your videos and restart my hair journey because i’ve been doing everything wrong 😭
Me too.
THIS 😩😩😩
Thank you for this Kim, it’s a good point that you made. It’s not the products, it’s the technique that’s faulty. Keep ‘em coming please.
Indeed!! I mean sometimes the products play a huge part but sometimes it could be you.
sometimes it’s definitely the products too

Thank you for posting this!!! I have low porosity hair, and I've been having trouble doing a wash and go for the longest while. This definitely helps with everything and shows what I've been doing wrong.
Sis, you have saved my wash n go! I was doing everything you did in this video wondering wtf happened! I changed my technique today and wow! HUGE DIFFERENCE! My hair is soft and bouncy! Thank you!!
The voice over sent me😭
LMFAO I Had to sis!! Even rewatching this I was OVER IT
Yessssss me too! 😂😂 Gotta love Kim, she's hilarious.
Rushes to send this to my family members who think I make this stuff up 🤦🏾♀️
Girl RIGHT. I got a whole family of straight heads irritating the hell out of me.
🤣😂 It's definitely a learning experience.
Yes my mom is a relaxer girl she had long straight hair til a lady out relaxer in to long and now I tell her ends to roots or nit to put box braids in while my edges are thinning or not heat cause my edges are thinning and she don’t believe me
Oh MY GOODNESS! Girl, you have nailed my issue! My hair looks JUST like yours in this video whenever I'm applying product outside of the shower!! THANK YOU IMMENSELY for sharing this video and providing the voice-over with the tips and critique! You have helped me tremendously!!
Hair is honestly a learning process. I have Low Porosity Hair too and my best results are when I’m in the shower 😊! Thanks for sharing your fail! It’s very transparent and relatable 🥰♥️
Thank you Mary!!! whew the learning process lol
I usually don't leave comments but this video has literally showed me all the things I do wrong. Thank you for the explanation.
I have not commented on a youtube video before but I am so shook and I must say this. I did the big chop almost 2 years ago but have been wearing my hair in senegalese twists because I kept struggling with my wash and gos being so dry and undefined and I was ready to give up. But I decided to try again for the holidays because your video pointed out a bunch of problems that I had been having. I didn't realize I had low porosity hair and I had been doing everything wrong. I just changed my regimen based on your tips and it is like NIGHT AND DAY. I cannot believe it. I have not seen my hair like this in years. My curls are popping and I feel so so so happy so I just want to thank you so much. Please keep up the videos I am so grateful :)
You did your hair knowing it was going to be messed up for the greater good... RESPECT! Best lesson ever! Thx boo!
THIS..IS..THE..INSTRUCTION..I.. NEEDED! Thank you Kim for breaking it down for us. I might finally succeed at a wash and go now🙌🏾🙌🏾
Excellent video. You dropping knowledge on this one. I have low porosity hair too & never ever come out of the shower w/o a leave-in in my hair. Thank you for sharing this info for us low porosity girls & guys.
I like that you showed the process for what not to do for wash and gos. It really makes sense.
I really appreciate you showing us this video. You really do know your hair and what it takes to get your desired look. Lot of folks think it’s the products but more so how you apply them. Side note: if I don’t feel like my hair is absorbing the products, I wrapped my hand around that section of my hair, make a fist and squeeze. I hold it for like 10-20 seconds so that it can absorb into my hair. I learned that from EmbraceNaturalBeauty. It truly works.
That was really a great video! Honestly one of the most helpful videos I've watched since getting serious about my natural hair journey! I really appreciate you not only stating what mistakes are commonly made but to actually SHOW us! You're doing amazing! Thank you!
I've been directing everyone I know with low porosity hair to your channel! We have to forget everything we've learned over the years, a lot of those rules do NOT apply to us! This is one of the best and most accurate vids on low porosity I've watched ever, so thanks for this!
Best low porosity video EVER!!! So informative! Using yourself as an example was PERFECT!!! Now I know what I’ve been doing wrong. Can’t wait to wash my hair!!!
Literally just had a damn epiphany with this video. Figures out I’m low porosity and why the products sit on the top of my hair when I spray it with cold water...God is good. We moving forward sis 🙏🏾
This is the best keep it real wash and go video. Watching this helps me understand why I may be having problems with my wash and go.
" Pretty okay "was my vibe for 2018... 😭😓 had to make it work
So this has left me FULLY informed I have some other things to get together before I start rocking my wash and gos.
Also firmly believe that my hair is low porosity.... or low to normal porosity in some sections.
I know when I dont sit under a dryer my hair at the roots always takes longer to dry especially if there's product....currently I dont have a hooded dryer so I endure and air dry ...I never thought about it before that it was also linked to the porosity...hmm
Girllll the only reason I know this stuff is bc I do like 3 wash n gos on my hair a week. It takes a min to get a good routine but I hope I can help along the way.
Kimberly Cherrell you definitely are. I'm a planner so you're totally helping me feel more prepared for when I want to set out into some different styles in 19' and what to expect out of my wash days.
Techniques are key.
You and the ladies are really helping a sis out.
So Kimberly, your wash and goes do not last a week that you have to do them 3x a week
Connie Arrington I believe that has more to do with the fact the influencers are making videos throughout the week therefore trying out different techniques and products so even they tend to manipulate their hair more... I could be wrong.
This video was sooo helpful. The best video I've seen. I did/experienced everything wrong in this video and never styled my hair in front of the mirror. Recently I realized the benefit of standing in front of a mirror to watch my hair.
I love that you showed us this!! I’ve now figured out why my wash n go comes out bomb sometimes and not so good other times with the same products!! #LessonLearned
I love how you edited this, I haven’t seen anyone critique their technique in this manner.
I have low porosity hair also...and gurl! this right here is a whole process...That's why I just twist my hair..because wash and gos..that's a part time gig lol..But this was very informative and very helpful..maybe I'll give it a try. Thanks so much for sharing and your hair is gorgeous.
All that water probably just sat on top of your hair sis since it never absorbed into your hair. This was eye opening to me because I don’t have a hooded dryer now I know how much using a blow dryer can add frizz to my wash n go 😬. But I always ALWAYS use you methods of applying my leave in in the shower and the curls be juicy girl. So thank you Kim 🥰❤️!! #KimCheGang
Youre soooo welcomeeeee!!
What happens if you don’t use any heat (like a blow dryer or a hooded dryer)?
Destiny Diamond Typically my hair will shrink up and it takes forever and a day to dry girl if I dont use heat. I usually use a diffuser to dry my hair and dry from roots to ends.
Did your hair also flake? Is this a reason why hair flakes as well? Lately I’ve noticed a lot of products flaking in my hair and I had a suspicion it’s because it’s not absorbing on my hair properly.
I said what I said! You just pushing out facts on Christmas Eve, Kimmie lol. I already knew after you added the leave-in that this was not gonna go well. Leave-ins are to be added in the shower on low porosity hair. I put hot water in my spray bottle then spray 3-4 sprays in the sink to get the cold water out of the tube before I spray water on my hair. Thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas!
Thanks girl! Applying leave in, in the shower, then a shower cape before you come out is major key
I know I'm super late but this is usually how my wash and go's come out so I've learned quite a few things for this video! This was a very teachable moment and I'm so glad you decided to share! Thanks so much!
This video IS what I needed to see!! Question i have is can i wrap my hair after applying my products ??
Why didn’t I see this video 4 hours ago when I started to apply my leave-in, but put a towel on my wet hair so I could start dinner? (And then wondered why my 1st ever wash & go didn’t turn out right, because all the products sat on top of my low porosity hair & flaked off when it dried. 😡)You just answered all my questions in 12 minutes & 33 seconds! THANK YOU SO MUCH 🙏🙏🙏
Wow I definitely understand why sticking to your techniques are important. Great video Kim!!
Girl, thank you thank you! That’s what my wash n gos look like. I tried your method and for the FIRST time I have a wash n go that I like. Still needs perfecting but I have a clue now. I have never successfully diffused my hair. Now I just need to know how to keep it moisturized and looking shiny past day one.
I decided to grow my hair out 4 months ago and you've earned my complete trust. When you said you study your hair and explained what was going on at each process PLUS gave reasons for doing certain things, it showed that you've spent time to become an expert; And as a yute who cyaa really be bothered with the whole heap of ambiguity on hair care, you're really helping a brother out! Thanks!
(if you cant understand sme of the stuff i typed it's because I live in Jamaica and using standard english is a hassle sometimes. Especially when a nuff tings mi have to type)
Your hair isnt dry because your lo-po and when you stepped out the shower with DRY hair, it's harder for products to fuse (bind) together and work in your hairs favor. So the product AND the added cool water is just SITTING on your hair now. You can still see the product in your hair. Your hair is still beautiful tho😘
BOOM! Kiki you better know yo stuff girlll
@@KimberlyCherrell awwww!
Thats is so true, because I learn that technique from you about putting your leave-in conditioner while in shower and I still follow it
Ok u won with this video suuussssss .!!! Talk to em🗣
First of all to waste products just to show ur subscribers in detail wat can be ur problem of wash and gos not coming out right shows the kind of person u are. This will help so many ppl from wasting money, time, and energy I applaud u for this video its so informative and authentic. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
There was another youtuber that made a video about wash n gos saying “nobody hair really looks like that” youve proven that is not true🗣🗣🗣
Facts from this video:
1. your hair can be manipulated the way u want
2. Its not wat u use its how u use it ur technique
3. ALL HAIR TYPES ARE DIFFERENT
You the goat 🐐
Thank u for this video
Hair goals
I appreciate your honesty and I like that you're candid about successes and mistakes. So helpful. Thanks girl!
You are the bomb for this. I see where I mess up and why my hair only turns out decent. I know I’m about to be looking like a Queen frfr now! Thanks sis! Blessings 🤍
Thank you soo much for this 2 years old video! I am from Brazil and recently moved to PA and I was struggling with my low porosity hair never getting moisturised here in this cold weather. Now I know the problem, I need to apply my products in the shower when it is warm. I never had this problem in Brazil because it is hot the whole year there and my hair was always warm when I was applying my products.
I dont do my hair in the shower it's has got to be another way to get a good wash n go besides being in the shower I just know it is 🤔🤔
You don't have to do your hair in the shower as long as you section it correctly
I think it's as long as you don't dry it then try to rewet your hair you'll be fine
I apply a leave in immediately after I get out of the show. Then I put my hair in 4 to 5 chunky twists/buns. In the morning I rewet with warm water. I apply my cream and detangle with Felicia. I then go in with my denman to get the curls to clump. Then I squeeze out excess moisture, so that my hair feels moisturized and damp(NOT WET). Finally I go in with a hard holding gel with the shingling method.
Only use warm/hot water to style your hair and room temperature/warm products. Cold/room temperature water/products just sits on my strands. Hot water is the best. When you feel the water in your water bottle going cold, simply replace it with hot water again.
Pretty Big’s comment is spot for how you can do it. You can also just apply your leave-in, in the shower then do everything outside the shower. However, as a low porosity natural, I don’t think we even need leave-in. Leave-in’s purpose is to smooth the cuticle. Low porosity already has closed cuticles. Our goal also isn’t to get warm leave-in into our strands because leave-in does not nourish the inside of the hair (cortex) just provides smoother surface for gels/stylers like a nail polish base. I find my hair is more dried out when I use most leave-ins. I either do the routine Pretty Big suggested with a light moisturizer in place of leave-in (e.g. Camille Rose Fresh Curl) and pin in buns to soak in before gel or I apply a gel straight to soaking wet hair. The gel should have botanical/healthy ingredients if it is going straight onto the hair.
Thank you so much for this priceless info! SIS! This is how my hair looks when I do my wash and goes and I always wondered why it looked white when saturated with products. I have always wanted to do a wash and go where the products went on clear. I would be looking a hot mess because my products would be sitting on top of my hair instead of my hair absorbing them. I have tried to use other products and got the same results. It would take all day and then some to dry. This is me exactly! Thanks for the facts!
Excellent pointers. I started applying my leave-in while in the shower and it really does make a difference. Thanks Kimberly. You the Real MVP 😂😍👍🏾. Merry Christmas!
LadyYelverton is your hair soaking wet in the shower when you apply your leave in?
@@shanikc2294 After I rinse my deep conditioner with warm water, I apply the leave in. So it's dripping wet from rinsing.
This was one of the besttt natural hair videos I have ever seen! I've been wondering for months what I've been doing wrong, tried switching up soo many things in my routine. Thank you!!
I have 3 go to youtubers I take seriously for my daily hair routine. You are now my 4th. Thank you sis!🤗
I love your channel because I have low porosity hair and you enlightened me so much!
Thank youuuu!!!
I've never heard the explanation like this. This is very helpful. I will let the leave-in conditioner sit in my head a bit then seal in with oil then put my cream on top
This video is LIFE....and that tip to put leave in on in the shower changed my whole low po LIFE....
WOWWWWW this video was super informative. I’ve recently returned to having a twa after having sister locks for a few years. So I’m getting use again to doing wash and go’s again and this video is simply low porosity hair SALVATION sis!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!!!! 🙏🏾😊
Oh wow, now I know why my natural hair has stopped growing! Instant subscribe! Thank you @kimberlyCherrell. I am straight up SHOOK.
ABSOLUTELY HELPFUL. ive been doing it allll wrong, reason i never do wash n gos . THANKYOU SO MUCH !!
Thanks for the tips Kimberly. You are the QUEEN of wash n go’s for low porosity hair. I am still trying to get it right. I’m going to binge watch all of your wash n go videos while I have a few days off from work for the holidays. Have a very Blessed and Merry Christmas.
You literally just solved my problem!!
Thank you for sharing this info 🤗
Thank you for this video.!! Im a terrible natural and my struggle is sooooo real.
This video was Super helpful. Literally everything you said not to do I was doing and wondering why it was never coming out right. Please do more videos like this lol
It’s the technique Kim..... thanks a lot for the video
Great video!!! These things needed to be said. I apply all my products in the shower on soaking wet hair. Notice I get my best wash n gos that way.
Thank you!!!! this video really shows how little things we fail to do has a big impact on the results....come through KimChe 🤗
Girl I wish someone did high porosity wash and go as well as you explain low
Idk why I’m studying your technique so hard when it don’t apply to me but girl I’m still taking notes👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
Laaady, I’m hurt just looking at your hair. 😩However this confirmed for me why the Deva Dryer (Hand-held) did not work for me, when my stylist “clearly” told me to get a hooded dryer. The two do not produce the same results. I also learned from this video that if the hair is feeling and looking frizzy and not smooth when wet, to STOP and evaluate before styling my whole head and regretting it the next day, lol.
Omg have you been peepin in my window lmbo!!! this is me on wash day ugh so I just finally stopped and been doing twist outs, now I will go back and try these techniques, thank you!! MY new Favorite RUclipsr yess!!!
Hands down, best video discussing mistakes.
Love you girl and always will❤️ Quote: It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not. -Andre Gide
Naturally MyMy yes love it !
OMG YES!!!! I felt this one today!!!
Kim, You the real MVP for this video. Very helpful. Thanks!
Is it beneficial to mix the leave in with warm water in a spray bottle?
Had to subscribe! This is totally what my natural hair will do; thank you so much for this video! Now I'm gonna have to binge your channel...okay tomorrow, cuz I gotta go tackle my own hair!
Wow Kim! Never again will I come out of the shower without my leave in. I can literally see the difference in your hair. Adding back that moisture to your hair while it's in its wet state is a must! The water literally sat on top of your hair🙄. Still haven't tried a wash and go but lemme keep tuning into your videos and I'll be good to go👌👌 This video was most helpful and brutally honest. Thanks girl for keeping it real as always
I loooooove this video! A legit video of wash and go gone wrong rather than a some girl making obvious mistakes on purpose. Yasssss
Thank you for explaining where you messed at in this video there are some important facts to know for my low porosity hair
VERY HELPFUL!!! I wish I had this video when I first started doing wash and gos! It would have saved me from a lot of disasterous hair days and wasted products due to flaking. Thank you!
YES, education for the low-po’s! Half of these “mistakes” were a part of my wash and go attempts 😩 let me keep trying though. My guess is it’s not dry because your hair follicles were already closed from the cold water and the products are trapped in all the of the water that was sitting on and not IN your hair
Old video but I love it sis! Needed to go back to it to get my life together!
Thank you Kim!!!💖 Trying the correct way on my next WNG.
You have educated me sis! New to your channel but I’m in love with how you do your hair! You have helped me so much bc me and my hair have been going through it!
Thanks for the tips! I know what not to do now and why my hair don't be looking to hot. And Kim your hair is lovely and is getting long! Maybe you can give us a detailed video of what to do to get the best moisturized, defined stretched wash n go with combo products that work well with each other.
Liiiikkkkee duh why didn’t i think of that it makes so much sense to add leave-in in the shower when doing wash & go’s shoot doing my hair period. Thank you sis 🙏🏽 😘.
Exactly!!!! Boom :)
Watching this videos makes so much sense. Even though I’m not sure what porosity my hair is I see some mistakes that I can fix or test and see if it works. This was a good video that hit us with the truth 💯😊
Watching her has definitely helped my hair....please bless her omg ❤️😍
OMG....Kimche, I so appreciate this video. I could not understand why my wash n go's were a no no. Thanks so much. I will try them again because I just didn't understand. My twist outs were bomb but wash n go's not so much. I'm so grateful I found you're channel, no one else never explained this, perhaps they didn't know.
youre welcome! its just best to see a visual on what not to do sometimes
I really love this and learned so much! deep conditioning now so I am definitely not leaving my shower without a leave-in tomorrow!
Now I see why my hair is always frizzy and looks a messy when I diffuse it. I’m so glad I watched this!! Makes me so much confident to do my next wash and go . Thank youuuuuuuu
I literally have your exact same hair types and I have been making ALL of these mistakes. No wonder I can never retain moisture and my wash and go’s look terrible! This has literally been the best wash and go video I’ve ever seen. You’ve earned my subscribe and like.
Just when you thought you knew all there is to know about wash n goes.... I'm gonna put all these tips to work next wash day. Thanks a lot.
I'll be picking up a hooded dryer tomorrow!!
