A wash 'n go is my favorite style as well. I wear my hair out on a Sunday/wash day, and then Monday through Saturday I wear a bun when I'm up and I wear my hair down when I go to bed. I have tailbone length wavy/curly hair. It is thanks to women like yourself that I have discovered great routines, and great products for my own hair. I have learned that I can use the very same products as tighter coiled ladies, just a lot less of it. That is really key. Thank you. And may you continue to do well on your journey. Lots of love, from a viewer in Belgium.
The Sage is back!! I adopted and slightly modified/personalized your routine about a 8 months ago and it had made such a HUGE difference in the strength, length and definition of my hair and curls. My wash n go's literally last 10 - 14 days. I even pushed it to 3 weeks once just to see (it shedded like an old cat though LOL so that was a 1st and a last for 3 weeks) - the curls were still poppin though!! I am forever grateful for the day I found your channel. It has seriously changed the life of my hair and for that I say thank you sooo very much!! Subbie for life!!
You've obviously taken the time to learn your hair's needs. I'm impressed that you can target the different levels of porosity and seclude particular products to those areas. Great video!
Glad to see someone else who doesn’t protective style their hair. I love my wash n gos! Just about every curly girl says that’s the key to length retention but what’s the use of having beautiful curls if you can’t show them off.
Love your hair here! I may need to try out those Mielle Organics products! You've sold me. I am so impressed with the fact that you have differentiated your haircare routine to take into account the differing needs of all the types of hair on your head. Great video :)
Thank you darling. Yes Mielle and the mix of products I use for cleansing and conditioning are keeping my hair happy these days. If you use Mielle Organics let me know how you like it.
Loving the hair. I have been wanting to try the Mielle. I still haven't found a line that leaves my hair the way I want, and am hoping Mielle , will be that product. I think a trip to your salon needs to be my future.
Oh that's great. I am grateful to all of you. In fact a few ladies shared with me how much they liked the gel and encouraged me to try it. I have not looked back since. Enjoy!
Great to have a video from you Abena. 👍🏽. You have been missed on RUclips!!! Really appreciate your update and your in depth discussion on why you use certain products, how often and application. I'm looking forward more.. 😊😉
I enjoyed this update. Can you share in detail how you make your hair last almost two weeks and what do you put in your hair during the week? Thank you😊
I may redo the front high porosity section on the same day or next day if necessary by reapplying the product. But that's only when I don't get good hold. Other than funky pieces, I do not re-moisturize, I do not spritz my hair. I cover at night with a silk scarf in order to maintain moisture. I have shown what it looks like with I redo the funky pieces of hair in a previous video. I will reply with the link when I get another moment.
i loooooooooove the fact that you stick with your products to give them a chance. I notice that a lot of us naturals with decent length have this in common. We stick with the same products long term. Have you considered shea butter as a replacement for some of these gels?
Thank you! Shea butter is a common ingredient in my moisturizers. As a holding product in place of gel it would be too light for the level of definition I like. If I want my hair big and fluffy I may consider.
Awesome camera, love the quality of the video. My wash-n-go was great on short hair, but I have not figured it out for longer hair. Your hair is gorgeous!!!
I heard another stylist say that eco styler is horrible to use on the hair because it coats the hair and is nearly impossible for people who use it all the time to get it off the hair (basically you can only cut your hair to completely get rid of it). What are your thoughts?
I would not have used it for a full year if that were true. If that were true, I would have no hair. Eco Styler does not break your hair. Lack of adequate moisture dries your hair and excessively dry hair becomes brittle. Brittle hair is extremely fragile and weak and it eventually breaks. This can happen to anyone using any product incorrectly or ineffectively. Please join me on Periscope or Facebook Live and hear me talk about topics like this pretty much on a weekly basis. Many thanks!
Hi dear! i just started watching your videos! they are awesome! Very imformative. I live in the Virgin Islands but i would love to go to your salon one day when i visit New York.
This is helpful to see your other styling combos like the kinky curly. I recently cut my hair again and the knot today is a two in one leave-in and styler. Now have you tried Aubrey Organics conditioners for your low porosity section? I used to use them when I went natural in 2007 and have started again. Their "GPB" Balancing and "honeysuckle rose" deep conditioners soak immediately into my wiry texture and improve elasticity.
I just started using sulfates every wash day(once a week) I actually mix moisturizing shampoo with a little sulfate shampoo. I LOVE SULFATES and HAIR GREASE.
You will get more benefit out of your wash is you cleanse with the sulfate based shampoo first. Rinse your hair so it can remove what it needs to. Apply the moisture shampoo on freshly cleansed and rinsed hair to restore the moisture and softness. May you have a blessed day.
Your videos are really informative. I’m a wanna-be wash and go girl, but every time I do this style but day 3 my hair is super dry and prone to single strand knots😕 Do you have any advice?
Yep, Im soaking my hair with water, Paul Mitchell leave in and then Eco gel. My hair shrinks to almost twa, my hair is collarbone length. I just can’t get my hair to elongate🙁
Try squeezing the excess water off your hair before applying the leave in so that it is applied to damp hair instead of soaking wet. This will allow the leave in conditioner to adhere to your hair and eventually absorb into the hair strand for better moisture retention.
Another excellent video! Based on this video, I tried another product combination (based on your staple products) and had amazing results! Thank you. Btw, the video quality is very good.
Embrace Natural Beauty you're welcome. I'm in new York. Someday, I'd love to come to your salon. I've never been to a professional since I've been natural since I am too afraid.
Hey! Welcome back. On my channel I have share my journey, and I too wear wash n go's only. Thank you for sharing. Have you tried Ayurvedic natural products and DIY oils? If so what do you think of them?
Hey Laedi, you can certainly consider Wonder Curl for your washngo. I am pretty loyal when it comes to staple products and had a great time using Wonder Curl for nearly two years. As a natural hair stylist I need to have options for my clients so I try a few combinations and may find myself a new staple in the process. Stay tuned for more in the future.
Great video as usual. But I had a question, I follow your wash and go routine but I can't keep my wash and go for more than 3 days, and washing this video made be realize than I actually don't use a moisturizing shampoo and a conditionner after the shampoo. The main reason is that I have low porosity hair and I don't want to put too much products in my hair. I use a clarifying shampoo (everytime I wash my hair) and after directly the deep conditionner. Do you think that is the reason I can keep my wash and go for more than 3 days ? Do you think I should incorporate them to my routine ? thank you in advance
Thank you! Actually, it can be any variety of factors that you are only getting 3 days since you are not the first person to mention this. The outcome is determined by the process, products and technique. If you add the other steps that would be a change in process and products and if it's still not yielding better moisture retention then you will need help with your technique. So give it try and let's see what happens.
Hey, thanks for the video! so informative. I cant find the Shea Moisture Low Porosity Protein Free Conditioner (and detangling the crown and below) any tips ?
I absolutely love your channel so much!!! Thank you for the information! I want to love wash and gos but they take forever to dry!!! My question is how do you sleep on your hair if you do the wash and go at night?
New sub...great infor. And we share the same name Abena...tuesday born are the best😍😍...I just hit my 4 yr mark sadly I have never done wash and go as my hair is very tightly coil 4c to z range...hahaha. But looking forward to get some ideas on products. Thanks for making content quiet and toned down video. There way too many loud videos out here. God bless
Great information. Love your videos. I love love love wet line xtreme gel for my protein sensitive low porosity hair. I just found out that it contains triaethanolamine. How do you feel about gels that? Some of the eco gels contsin that. I'm afraid to continue using gels that contain that.
I have been questioned about the ingredients in Eco Styler several times. But have never seen any information with specific data that demonstrates a cause of concern. If you are hesitant about an ingredient I encourage you to do thorough research to determine whether or not it's worth it for you.
Thanks Abena! I always appreciate and love your videos. I've learned so much from you on my own natural hair journey. This WnG looks great! I wish I could get 12 day hair. To maintain moisture for that long, is there anything special you do after day 1? Do you add moisture daily?
Hi Victoria, thank you darling! I maintain my hair with a silk scarf at night. What I do on wash day and the scarf helps to keep my hair moisturized. No other products and no spritzing.
Hi! I'm trying to find your video of how to restore damged hair. After 2nd baby 2 years later it's finally starting to get back I've had to keep it cut short im growing it back. Are those products curly girl friendly? No silicones
I have a question. I have high porosity hair around my edges and my nape but everywhere else is low. How do I care for my hair with two diff porosity types?
I find it easier to demonstrate, which is what I do with my videos. Have you watched the video on how I manage my frizzy high porosity hair? That is one I recommend.
Your hair will be better preserved in a protective style throughout the week. You may want to consider flat twists or cornrows with a low bun or ponytail.
Is it true that deep conditioning plays a huge part in defined curls when you had your Gel? I noticed I tend to have more frizz at the beginning of my hair strand. Even after going over the hair strand with gel several times. It seems the hair does not want to absorb the gel. I have low porosity hair I think all over. So I'm not sure if I'm conditioning too long which does not allow the gel to enter the cuticle or I'm using the wrong conditioner? Please help...thank you
Hi Sha-Ron, there can be a variety of factors causing you to experience this outcome. I do provide one-on-one service in the salon or virtually. You can book an appointment with me go to over everything specifically for your hair. my website is embracenaturalbeauty.com
Embrace Natural Beauty thank you so much Abnea for responding. I've been watching your youtube channel for several months and my hair has been thriving since I started. You truly are gifted. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I definitely will go over to your website.
I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong in my routine... EVERY morning (since I've gone without heat) I have to completely drench my hair and reapply my products because my hair is a matted, dry mess when I take my scarf off. I recently started cowashing to see if that would help with no such luck. I've used the mielle organics line and worked for the first 2 days but had a reapply daily until my next wash day... Can anyone help me? lol
alexis nicole well usually heat opens cuticles so the hair can better absorb product and moisturize it. Clarify your hair and use a steamer to deep condition
Have you figured out what your hair likes? For me, my hair gets very dry when I use products with silicones and drying alcohols. I use Uncle Funky’s Daughter Extra Butter moisturizer (or the Deva Curl Super Stretch) under the UFD Curly Magic. At night you could band your hair in 6 or 8 sections before tying your hair with a silk scarf. This might allow you to refresh and reshape with water the next day without worrying about tangles.
I have low porosity hair and gel dries my hair out to the point I don't wear wash and go's. What gel would you recommend that doesnt dry out hair so badly or product combo or what you have you used to avoid extreme dry out. I would like to wear wash and gos again. Or you can refer me to a video if you have covered this topic. Thanks for the video.
Peace Arise iii Sisters of Nature Curling Gelo. It has no alcohols & is pretty natural. I only use that & it's online & at beauty supplies. You could also try that knot today version. Use a leave in under it.
I have noticed with me that the gels that make my hair dry have protein in them. So it may be that you are protein sensitive which is common with people with low porosity hair. If you want to try gels without protein Uncle Funky's Daughter Curly Magic is good. Also the Wetline Extreme is good too that she mentioned, but I can't use it when the humidity is high because it has glycerin in it which causes my hair to swell in high humidity weather. Hope this helps.
I may use it again. As evidenced by my use of Mielle Organics, when I know a product is good I am likely to return to it. Right now, these are the products I am using.
A wash 'n go is my favorite style as well. I wear my hair out on a Sunday/wash day, and then Monday through Saturday I wear a bun when I'm up and I wear my hair down when I go to bed.

I love the main choice gold twist gel... amazing for braid outs and wash n gos
Loving the hair. I have been wanting to try the Mielle. I still haven't found a line that leaves my hair the way I want, and am hoping Mielle , will be that product. I think a trip to your salon needs to be my future.
chocolatejan have you tried Camille rose naturals? Its my fav product line every single product is fantastic
That color is so nice on you! Very nice. Hair looks great.
Aww thank you Bernadette
I've been using the wetline extreme for 7 day wash an go's. Thank you for introducing me to this gel, I love it. TFS
Oh that's great. I am grateful to all of you. In fact a few ladies shared with me how much they liked the gel and encouraged me to try it. I have not looked back since. Enjoy!
a black lady speaking properly. oh the sophistication oh the class oh the music to my ears! ahhhhh...

Hey Cha Cur! Miss you too darling!

Welcome back! Can you do an updated wash n go with the shea moisture leave in and Jamaican black castor oil gel. 😊
Yaaayyyy!!! 👏🏼
Thank you!
Thanks for the video. I needed a video like this one for a new perspective.
Thank you. I am happy to hear it was helpful.

Your videos are really informative. I’m a wanna-be wash and go girl, but every time I do this style but day 3 my hair is super dry and prone to single strand knots😕 Do you have any advice?
Sounds like you may be due for a trim to get rid of split ends...in terms of moisture retention are you styling on soaking wet hair?
Yep, Im soaking my hair with water, Paul Mitchell leave in and then Eco gel. My hair shrinks to almost twa, my hair is collarbone length. I just can’t get my hair to elongate🙁
Try squeezing the excess water off your hair before applying the leave in so that it is applied to damp hair instead of soaking wet. This will allow the leave in conditioner to adhere to your hair and eventually absorb into the hair strand for better moisture retention.
You hair is beautiful and healthy😁Thanks for sharing😁
Thank you Tracey!
Good video! Love your products list. My staples still remains the Earthones Naturals. But I will maybe try the Mielle Organics.😊
Thank you Natholeg. If you decide to try I hope the experience is wonderful and that you let me know either way.
Another excellent video! Based on this video, I tried another product combination (based on your staple products) and had amazing results! Thank you. Btw, the video quality is very good.
Great Michelle and thank you! What product combination did you use?
Embrace Natural Beauty Abena, I used Kinky Curly Curling Custard and Kinky Curly Knot Today.

Hey! Welcome back. On my channel I have share my journey, and I too wear wash n go's only. Thank you for sharing. Have you tried Ayurvedic natural products and DIY oils? If so what do you think of them?
Is “wonder curl” no longer a go to line for wash n gos? I remember you were using those products faithfully.
Laedi Kay o yea she was!
Hey Laedi, you can certainly consider Wonder Curl for your washngo. I am pretty loyal when it comes to staple products and had a great time using Wonder Curl for nearly two years.

But looking forward to get some ideas on products. Thanks for making content quiet and toned down video. There way too many loud videos out here. God bless
Great information. Love your videos. I love love love wet line xtreme gel for my protein sensitive low porosity hair. I just found out that it contains triaethanolamine. How do you feel about gels that? Some of the eco gels contsin that. I'm afraid to continue using gels that contain that.
I have been questioned about the ingredients in Eco Styler several times. But have never seen any information with specific data that demonstrates a cause of concern. If you are hesitant about an ingredient I encourage you to do thorough research to determine whether or not it's worth it for you.
Hi I’m new to your channel. Do you have thoughts about the Hair La Vie line and Carol’s Daughter line?
Thanks Abena! I always appreciate and love your videos. I've learned so much from you on my own natural hair journey. This WnG looks great! I wish I could get 12 day hair. To maintain moisture for that long, is there anything special you do after day 1? Do you add moisture daily?
Hi Victoria, thank you darling! I maintain my hair with a silk scarf at night. What I do on wash day and the scarf helps to keep my hair moisturized. No other products and no spritzing.
Hello fellow cosmetologist.. do you ever use design essentials?
What foams and how do you use foams in your hair? I see the mielle org. Back there
Hi! I'm trying to find your video of how to restore damged hair. After 2nd baby 2 years later it's finally starting to get back I've had to keep it cut short im growing it back. Are those products curly girl friendly? No silicones
When you decided to go natural did you cut all of your relaxer off or did you transition
What are your thoughts on protein treatments?
I have a question. I have high porosity hair around my edges and my nape but everywhere else is low. How do I care for my hair with two diff porosity types?
A. Marie i say moisturize and seal... lol
I find it easier to demonstrate, which is what I do with my videos. Have you watched the video on how I manage my frizzy high porosity hair? That is one I recommend.
Hi Abena. I had tried the mielle org. Gel but it just didnt hold it was too light but mabey i need to use it with the leave in.
i wear a hard hat 4 - 5 days during the week...... for 12 hours shifts so I am trying to find an alternative to wash n go's while at work.
Your hair will be better preserved in a protective style throughout the week. You may want to consider flat twists or cornrows with a low bun or ponytail.
Hair twin identical twins !!!!

Do you use silicones?
Question my crown area is growing back and I want to try a wash n go. Just don't want to over manipulate that area.
Interesting. If the style you currently wear is working for you, maybe try the washngo only occasionally.
Embrace Natural Beauty. Thank you. I might get it to last a good 2 to 3 days
What is the new camera?
My Nikon D7000. It's an camera I've had for many years and use for still photography.
What about Wonder Curl? Do you no longer use that?
I may use it again. As evidenced by my use of Mielle Organics, when I know a product is good I am likely to return to it. Right now, these are the products I am using.
Okay thanks!
