@Jamaal Craig, @Monique @LaToya Ebony Yes.... had huge dryer for home use years ago but it HAD to be balanced properly [evenly and weighted] on the table otherwise it would tip over-lol🙂. Those are fond memories of gentle self-care . Thanks LaToya for another insightful and reflexive video. Appreciated
My hair sucks up any and every type of moisture in my immediate area. My scalp stays oily now... thank you Mrs Latoya... but my hair looks like the burning bush by the time it dries.
You and your channel have completely changed my outlook on my hair! I used to think wash and gos weren’t for me until your video with Dickey himself. Now I’m a complete convert who washes her hair almost every single night. I’ve even started sharing your vids with random people I meet at the gym!
Oh my goodness! 🥰 This makes my heart so happy! Our hair is so awesome and versatile. I’m convinced we can do just about anything...and thanks for sharing my content! I appreciate it so much! ❤️❤️❤️
I may try again when my hair gets longer. If this method did elongate it, it would be at an awkward length. Glad these videos will be around for future instruction - thanks for the great content!
@@BL3SSed-Bliss I did! My difference is that I do air dry and my coils are gonna shrink, which I don't mind. However, now I don't use the tons of product, I'll use Mousse Def and it comes out great.
This all makes so much sense! I've decided that I'm going to cut off all my dead ends so that detangling will become easier, I am going to get a cut that better frames my face, so I can try wearing wash and go's. I will start re-introducing water more frequently in my routine. As a natural the one thing that I was so stuck on was this idea of remoisturizing that many people do without washing their hair some how. I was like how are you moisturizing your hair on hair that is full of product? I saw it more as they were lubricating their strands from protection, but not actually hydrating their hair with water. I'm so nervous for this new journey but videos like yours and many others have finally given me the push I needed to start my hair care journey again.
I enjoyed reading this post, Amina! I also find it quite relatable. How is your journey coming along? Any elements and tips you'd like to share are greatly appreciated. 💛
I’ve been watching your wash and go’s for a while. I also have 4c you should try kinky curly custard it’s way better!! You will see the difference and it’s all natural!
Great series! It so nice to see wash and gos on hair like mine. Thanks so much for showing that we can let our curls out. We weren't given them to be blown out all the time! 🙂
Thank you soo much, Latoya. I've always been afraid of wash and gos because of the horror stories of endless tangles I've heard. Your tips are very helpful. I actually think is good that your hairdryer only covers the top because the ends are the oldest and most fragile, so the fact that the heat does not hit them directly seems better.
Yes, you have a great point. I don’t mind banding afterward!...Yeah, some people love them, others don’t. It’s nice to give something a few tries before avoiding it. Let us know how it works out!
Oooooh please keep us updated on how you like the Aunt Jackie's curl la la. I found some at CVS for like 50 cents a pack and bought it all lol. I haven't used it yet either 🙈.
I enjoyed this two part series LaToya - thank you for sharing your tips! I started getting into wash and go's last summer and I've used your videos along the way to perfect my routine! I am pretty good at doing them now - which is a far cry from where I started last summer lol. I just purchased the dryer you linked from Amazon - can't wait to elevate my drying experience! I currently diffuse, but my arms get sooo tired before my hair has fully dried lol
Yay! I'm happy to hear that my videos are working for you. I'm also excited for you to try the sit under dryer. I love how low maintenance it is. It's also a really great price. Happy drying!
I get too much build up if I use a non cowash conditioner. Cowashes with a cleansing conditioner are great for me I end up having more moisture compared to shampooing
Yes. Uncleansed hair disallows moisture to properly penetrate, hence "build-up". Essentially, it sits atop, giving the illusion of moisture. This is especially true for low[er] porosity strands. It's like oiling your legs without first _cleansing and conditioning_ them. This is why _lotion_ is water-based, so that it can penetrate epidermis.
Great content as usual. During this pandemic I started doing wash n go’s b/c of you! Moisturizing with water and LOTS of product. Who knew (you did 😉). Now I’m having a hard time wanting to do anything else. 😊 I’ll try the gel again b/c of this vid. Wasn’t great for me the first time. My hooded dryers break at the hinges I think b/c they get too hot. I finally bought the one they have in the salons (without the chair attachment) for $300. I love it. I don’t dread dry time anymore!
Oh wow, I’d love to have an upgraded dryer at some point. Mine is perfect for my space, though. One day I’ll have a whole beauty room to myself lol! I’m happy to hear you’ve had success with the wash and go’s. Makes me so happy to hear!
I don't know if the RUclips fairies spied on me just 10 minutes ago after my daughter's swim lesson because we got in the car and talked about removing her braids and trying a wash and go and when I looked, this video was recommended. Hmm. Well it really helped, especially the hooded dryer and banding.
You look beautiful Latoya!! Thanks for the tips. Ive been meaning to try the evo styler olive oil gel because the argan oil one was a miss on my hair. 🤦🏻♀️ Ugh I've been so preoccupied with wedding stuff I've missed so much. 😭
@@LaToyaEbonyHair thank you. Wedding is in 3 weeks and i am freaking out alil. Doing a perm rod set for my wedding myself so i pray it comes out dope 🤣
Aunt Jackies Gel did nothing for my hair. It felt like water on my hair. But Ecostyler Olive is the real deal. Also if you don't have a hooded dryer, your washngo will never come out top-notch.
I give up on wash n go's >>no matter what gel it flakes after 2 days and the tangles! - mercy plz! is alright - mi wi stick to twist out or blow out :) (it sure is pretty tho..)
Curl La La is NOT a wash and go product in my experience. I only use for braidout, twist out. Their gel is ok though. I like the Uncle Funky flaxseed gel a lot better tho.
Help- mist w/ water + seal w/ oil + plastic cap [or plastic grocery bag LOL] then wrap w/ scarf . But sleeping on damp hair. At what point do I let damp oiled hair dry??Pls share your routine and suggestions. Thanks much
@@LaToyaEbonyHair Okey dokey- there are “too many” excellent videos to sift through...LOL. I will check it out! Thanks much, LaToya. Super appreciate your responsiveness.
I tried leaving out my hair for some time... Doing low manipulation styles like you, but I have a serious case of hands on hair syndrome. How do you not touch your hair all the time??
Oh.. I did see that my 4c hair would look good in a wash n go... Few years ago, I would have never... I guess having a personal journey with your 4c hair changes your mindset into seeing the beauty in your hair that you didn't, when you were initially going natural... Plus having people like you making it the norm, on social media... Girls are now embracing their tight coils and curls. Thanks girl!
I have a few favorites. Shea moisture deep treatment intensive mask (something like that), Carol’s Daughter Black vanilla smoothie, As I am has one that’s good but I can remember the name, and Camille rose has a thick one with “algae” in the name. I also have a section on my website under the shop tab. Hope that helps!

Yes!!!! Just because your hair doesn't coil or curl doesn't make it BAD hair it's just YOUR hair. And it's still beautiful.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Luckily my grandma used to be a beautician back in the day so she had an old BIG sit under dryer and she just gave to me💀
The older ones are the Best!
I like my hooded dryer too. I’m afraid what I’ll do if it breaks or burns out. Been using it ever since I was a little girl
It seems like the old ones last forever. The new ones don’t seem to last as long 🤔
@@LaToyaEbonyHair absolutely. I think that’s with anything though. Nothing is really built to last anymore. What a shame.

The things you've learned have really made a difference in your hair. Your wash and goes are 🔥.

Awww ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you so much. I love your comment. These kinds of word keep me motivated.
Your make-up is beautiful!! Thanks, LaToya... (and you're so close to 100K...I'm so excited I can't even stand it)
So close! Thanks to you all. 🥰
You remind me of Essence Atkins! Have you ever gotten that? Anyway, these are great tips! Thank you.

I think it my favorite jacket. Too bad it’s sold out because I definitely would have linked it for you all.
Nice mini twists at the end and nice twist out too 🤗
Curl la la was a no for me. It coated, flakes and doesn’t pair with the Don’t Shrink Flaxseed from the same line!
😯 Lemme hold onto my receipt then! Thanks for the heads up.
SAME!!!
Same for me! It was a no go!

Question: when you say every 3 days. Do you mean like Monday and then again on Wednesday? Or Monday then again on Thursday?
Awesome video!! So informative! I've watched it twice! But really enjoy watching all of Latoya's videos! SO good! 🥰
I use store bought Aloe Vera Gel as a leave in as well!! People thought I was crazy 😂
It works amazingly. They’re missing out!
Thanks Latoya. We appreciate your content.
Aww thank you Priscilla!
Please use the wetline gel in a video one day
Yesssss sis. Loved this video! Everything you said was very helpful. Your hair is beautiful. Is it a wash n go with gel?
No. It was a very old twist out. ☺️
Thank You, much needed video.🙏🏽❤️🌺👏👍🏽
Yay! I’m so happy this could help. ❤️
Always solid! 👏🏽👍🏽💕

That jean jacket tho
Hey LaToya ❤️

Also if you don't have a hooded dryer, your washngo will never come out top-notch.
I use a mix of a disfuser & blowdryer with the skinny nozzle, works great for me. I'm 4b/4c low density & fine strands
@@kapparhotau181 👊🏿👊🏿

You are so welcome! ❤️
I give up on wash n go's >>no matter what gel it flakes after 2 days and the tangles! - mercy plz! is alright - mi wi stick to twist out or blow out :) (it sure is pretty tho..)
I like those too! Twist outs are still my jam. Nothing wrong with that!! 🙌🏾
I used the aleo gel but it did not work for me. my hair feel dry afer 1 day.
Random question, are you the voice actress on a Target commercial for Black History Month? It sounds just like you!
No, but let’s keep putting that out in the Universe! Lol
Curl La La is NOT a wash and go product in my experience. I only use for braidout, twist out. Their gel is ok though. I like the Uncle Funky flaxseed gel a lot better tho.
Hmmm I wonder what trying the S curl under wet line gel would be like...
I’m in between trying wetline or Uncle Funky’s next. Might be a while though. Taking a break from wash and gos for a minute. Protective styling ☺️
It works great. I've done it a few times, but it takes forever to dry.
The Curl Lala custard flakes like crazy for me sadly :(
What about growth?
Help- mist w/ water + seal w/ oil + plastic cap [or plastic grocery bag LOL] then wrap w/ scarf . But sleeping on damp hair. At what point do I let damp oiled hair dry??Pls share your routine and suggestions. Thanks much
