- Testing the Anthony Dickey wash and go method as a working mom. Can it really be done daily? WOULD I do it daily?
Recently I got a one on one private lesson via Zoom from the King of Wash and Gos himself. I got amazing results, but today I”m testing it out to see if I could actually do his wash and go daily on my 4c hair…while being a busy, working, parent.

One last thing - the BIGGEST lesson I have learned from trying the Dickey method for myself, is that is can be used on all hair types including very very tight coily 4c hair. Cuz that is what is on my head. All this madness of 4c hair has no curls, no definition needs to stop. I'll be damned if I put my 4c hair in a box or with limits anymore.
Nice, I love that for you
That is exactly the lesson he is teaching👏🏿👏🏿
Did you use his products or your own
@@tta1390 I use products from other brands and have not tried any of his products yet. Since my hair is so coily, my best results for hangtime and definition are with super thick gels like Eco Olive or Alikay Lemon.
How do you do your twist outs? Dickie recommends doing them on thoroughly conditioned blown out hair. I'm used to doing my twist outs on wet hair.
I’ve been doing his method for a few years. Anthony is the reason I never do twist outs. I rather do wash n gos. I have type 4 hair.
The more I did this method the softer my hair became. I have a stand-up dryer (like the ones at the salon) Game changer. $100 on Amazon. My hair dries about 85% in 10 min. I live in NJ. I do wash ngos all year long. I understand the comments about $$$. Trick for those curly gals is to find an inexpensive thick conditioner. I used the Trader Joe’s tea tree leave in. The Cantu for natural hair is decent. I’m super extra n love to spend $$ on my hair. I love my hair.
Good luck.
God bless.
I hear you. There are ways to making this cheaper, the big bottles of conditioner at TJ Maxx. I just like spending $$ on my hair, I love my type 4 hair. Do you make adjustments in terms of the products during the winter months?
What kind of hooded dryer did you purchase? I spent $80 for one at Sally’s and it takes my hair 2 hours to fully dry.
Ditto. This method just works and like you said, you don’t have to use expensive products. The routine is the key to having moisture rich hair. Luckily I live in a warmer climate so the cold isn’t really an issue. I did a big chop in January so my hair is finally at a length where I can shake out the curls. This method is a game changer.
Hello fellow Jersey Girl! I too have a salon style dryer ($300/Amazon) ....worth every penny and saves so much time & effort!! I agree with the rest of what you said too! (Exit 109 in the house! LOL)
Aussie conditioners are good. I also wash and go in the winter in the Midwest. I’ve never been sick because of a damp scalp.
Hey Latoya, To put on a shirt over your head without disturbing your hair style simply drape a silk/satin scarf over your head then put on your shirt. The shirt glides on over the scarf, your hair stays in tack and Bob’s your uncle.
Yes! That is exactly what I do but I use my silky robe.
Wow it’s the little things, so genius!!
I’ve used a plastic grocery bag. It’s big enough to lay loosely over my hair and it saves me from wetting my scarf 😉
I’ve used a scarf and a plastic bag, both methods work really well 😊
This brings back watching my mother do this to protect her hair and makeup before she died in 1966.
I do this method, but only once a week. And everyday i just wake up (and my hair is in that squished state), i spray it well with water and shake it and it falls into place (not squished anymore), then go about my day. I don't really think every day is necessary, more like every 3 or 7, and just refresh with water(some moisture stuff in it if you want)/shake it into place. 👌
Love this idea!
Yes!!! I totally agree. That’s what I do use my fingers and spray mist of water in the morning and call it a day! You don’t want to manipulate your hair every day. It needs time to do it’s own thing lol Leave it alone. In order to see growth. 🙌🏾🙌🏾
I’ve been doing something similar. I wash n go once a week. During the week, at the end of my shower, I run my head under the shower head 2-4 seconds and then shake my hair to reactivate the product while I’m still in the shower. For me, that helps maintain the moisture in my hair and my hair is still defined.
I have something I want you to try. INSTEAD of rewetting daily - try a small, hard held clothes steamer. Steam does wonders on my hair and doesn’t soak your hair. It reactivates what ever product is in your hair. Try it!
Y’all I have 4c fine hair and I banded my hair after doing the lco method to stretch the curls and went to sleep with my scarf because without it my hair can’t dry. Then the next day I sprayed it with a lil leave in water. If I do this every day I will be bald and broke.
I love that your a “don’t knock it till you try it” kind of woman ☺️
🥰 Yes I am!! 🙌🏾
That's so true. U never hear her say. "I cant 4c me..etc" She just tries it out because she outgoing,adventurous and positive.
@@LaToyaEbonyHair sis I love this method but I would not do it in its entirety everyday.
I have curly extremely frizzy hair. I call it lil gyal mane. Lol
I can pile on deh products day one then day two cover my hair in shower til am done washing. Then hit the hair with warm water to get it wet.
Rework that product that is still sitting on top of my hair and dry. Nay 3 45 same then last day full wash day routine.
Some days I switch it up by wearing a pony tail or bunn or another curly style.
@@mousepumpkin7564 ❤️❤️❤️ That's so freakin sweet of you to say. *hugs*
Every time I try to shake my hair I feel like I’m about to get whip lash
I refuse to bother with my hair everyday. Hell I barely want to do it once a week. I don't even have kids, and I work from home. I'm just lazy af🤣
meeeeee
Doing hair everyday? No. I stay in twists..
This made me giggle! Tell the truth sis lol
Listen....I would cut it all off if I had to do it daily.
Sounds like me, but I want a foot of additional hair by next year so I have to care a little more (unfortunately lol).
It does get faster and you can space the wash n go days out, over time.. So first week(s) 7 days and than every two days...I eventually got to every 3 days... But you really have to introduce this method to your hair for a week or two
That's a great tip. Thank you! It reminds me of the max hydration method. You have to do it over a span of time before it changes your hair moisture levels. It take a lot of patience, but from what I've seen, those who stick to it love it.
"I don't think I want to" is so powerful when talking about hair😩. The routine has to work FOR you!
OMG UR SON!!! I cannot stop saying how cute he is!
Thank youuuuu! 😊 ❤️
I agree...everytime you showed him my heart just melted. He is just a ball of love and joy!
I’ve been doing the Anthony Dickeys method with you. I’m married ;have kids. I work a 8 to 5. The mornings aren’t great for me so I do in the routine in the evenings. I cowash Everyday! My routine is about 20-25 minutes ;my hair is a tad shorter than yours. I sit under the hooded dryer about 45 to an hour. I catch up on reading the Bible, checking emails, etc during that time under the dryer. I stretch my curls with my handheld dryer in the mornings and repeat the process nightly.
I’ve noticed a huge difference in how my hair feels and reacts now. Can’t go back to parched coils plus my hair is super hydrated looks good and healthy.
It can be a little inconvenient but it’s worth it.
I so want to do this. I’m thinking every two days will work for me. I’ve read lots of comments on various videos how much the hair changed for the better.
I usually redo my wash and go’s every 2-3 days. In between those days, I put my hair into 5 ponytails before I go to sleep. In the morning, I let the steam from my shower soften my hair, then I take down the ponytails and let my hair fall into place. Then, I use my fingers and a pick to style. My entire wash and go + styling process takes less than 30 minutes (not including drying).
I love that when you spoke to google, my damn google scared the hell out of me with my current time 💀💀
LOL 😂😂😂
Mine too! 😂
Mine also! 😂😆
I feel that there isn’t a need to do a wash and go daily. I personally do my wash & go every 3-4 days Max. I may shed a little more but it’s fine my hair grows a lot. Especially it’s winter season it’s too cold for that lol. I’m going into my 7 month on the 18th of Nov since my big chop. I’m so grateful I did it. I can’t wait to see the growth in a year. It’s been a beautiful journey even though it’s an arm 💪🏽 work out! 😂😂😂
I can't even imagine what a monthly bill for those products would be if you are using them every day. And its not a little bit of product either.The time each morning is one thing, but my pockets are another. Good results but WOOF
he did say you can do whatever conditioner you like is about the technique not the product
@@uarestrong76 This is true. I just know that a lot of naturals don't use super cheap products. Idk. Imma gotta do the math. I am intrigued but poor lol
Woof from me too🤣 When she showed what was left in the conditioner container my heart sank🤣
@@TheNapturalOne Girullll! Right!! I thought the exact same thing. Since I've been doing it, I use a cheap softening conditioner. A big ole bottle costs $6. On my real real "wash day", I use my good stuff and I'm golden.
@@TheNapturalOne dont speak a poverty mindset in your life😉 ... Speak abundance... I agree if you use expensive products you run through more of it when using it daily .
I'm only willing to do this every 3-4 days at the most 🤣
😂 That's what my spirit is telling me, but I'm gonna try again...just not today 😂
@@LaToyaEbonyHair
Listen to your spirit ☺️ the rest of us are doing just fine with every 3-4 days.
I love the Anthony Dickey wash and go. I tried it but my great results were only possible because I have fine low density hair that dries quickly - I can cycle for 10 mins rather than blow dry. It's great for gym bunnies and those who get wet a lot but for thick dense hair.. No! The product usage was an issue... I was getting through product so quickly and I don't even have much hair!! I have to say, one major thing was I got a lot of growth. My hair was not breaking when I detangled because of the regular moisture. Anyway. Good luck with your hair journeys all xx
This assessment is on point. I think I could swap out for cheaper products, but the extra dry time took me out...It might be a summer hairstyle for me.
That is what I tell people. I have type 4 hair and I love wash n gos. I use strong hold gels. The gel actually keps my hair in place, the detangeld state so when I wash it next time it isn't tangled so there isn't much detangling to do. Its so easy. That's why I always tell people to use gels with hold, it doesn't have to be drying. It will keep your hair in that detangled state and will be so much easier next wash day. And I do my wash n gos every 3-7 days depending. I never wait for it to frizz out otherwise it defeats the point. It'll get tangeld if its frizzy and also it doesn't dry out cause you're rewashing before it gets super dry. Great video!
It’s doable daily with some modifications on what you’re doing. For me, it hasn’t been necessary to do it daily. I do it every two to three days, but my process is faster than yours. I soak my hair in the shower, cowash with a heavy, cheap moisturizing conditioner, do what I need to to get the curls to form, rinse, and then add more conditioner as my styler. Then I add oil, shape it like I want it, and I’m done.
I then wrap it in a T-shirt while I get dressed. Then I defuse, then use the concentrator nozzle. It’s perfect. My shower takes 12 minutes with cowashing and drying takes maybe 15. I pineapple at night with a scarf and wear it again a second day.
I get so many compliments on my hair and questions about what I’m doing. I’ve been natural for 8 years and that wasn’t happening before.
Thanks for sharing!
I am going to try a microfiber towel or t shirt to see if it cuts down on drying time. Thank you for sharing. Does it mess up your curls at all?
@best selfinterest
I can’t be late to work, I have to be super clean and I have to look good, so I move fast while being very thorough.
@@Muchacandela
No. Your curls have to be super defined like hers with product to withstand the weight of the T-shirt. Just make sure it is more wrapped loosely around your head than tight like you see people do with towels. Just don’t overdry it with the T-shirt. I washed my hair on Sunday (meaning shampoo, deep conditioner, then cowash) and I think I left the T-shirt on too long. It seems to have sucked up all of my products and it dried out by the end of the day.
For clarification. You leave a rinse out conditioner in your hair or did I interpret that wrong?
Your hair turned out great, but that’s not something I’m willing to do every morning. It’s just too much.
I tried an in the shower wash & go on Saturday and loved it! It was so simple and quick. I washed and conditioned, styled, put a plastic bag on my head and then washed my body.
The disrespect at the beginning of the vid😂😂😂
😂😂😂 SO disrespectful!!
Yeap, go to sleep on a Monday without aides and wake up and being the Weeknd.
I also get no respect.
It’s odd how different stylist say different things black girls curls used this method but I don’t think they say you have to do it daily. I like wash n gos but I think everyone has their own method of what works for them.
I do the Black Girl Curls method and if I’m on my game I can get up to 9 days out of a WNG. There’s a time commitment (learning curve) and a money commitment (because it won’t work with just anybody’s products) but this may be one of the best things I’ve ever chosen for my hair.
Because I believe these sisters should be paid for their work, I’m just going to say that if anyone reading this is interested, go to their Web site, check out their content (FB/IG/YT), and look at their directory of stylists to see if there’s one nearby that you can partner with.
@@LBellatrix I have their book, but I also do twist outs I’m in Chicago and I just won’t do a wash n go in the colder months here. But it also depends on the hair. My hair doesn’t like it. I’m medium porosity which I don’t hear talked about much. I had to just listen to my hair. Now in the warmer months we all good.
True, I cant wash my hair everyday. Just wouldn't work for me. Every 2 weeks is doable
@@katrinamichee7119 To each her own...when I lived in Chicago I tended to favor twistouts and braidouts too. I'm now in Ohio and I do WNGs year-round.
Black Girl Curls is the truth. Best advice and best investment for the info and education I have ever received in regard to wearing my natural curls. NO need to refresh your curls daily. My tightly coiled hair gets a good 7 days on average on my WNGs. Detangling is a breeze too. Wash "day" takes 1.5 - 2 hours shampoo, condition, styling to dry.
Tip from someone using this method, put a shower cap on your head to get your shirt on so it doesn’t disturb the curls.
I use this method and have been trying to use it for the last 5 months or so and it’s all about technique, product plays a role yes but once you get the technique down, it gets quicker and your hair becomes trained to it. You should focus on your roots as well when using conditioner to avoid as much frizz as possible.
Love this method but it is a lot of work to get used to but it is also nice having water in your hair to help wake you up!
Can't wait for my hair to reach a length where it slaps me when I shake it like that 😄😄😄😄
😆🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
I tried the Dickey Method about a year or so ago. I used my own products. It works and I think I did it for one week and it was a wrap. I don’t feel like washing/cowashing my hair every day. I now feel like that is too much manipulation for my hair. I wash and go and don’t do my hair again until 6-7 days. One thing I always do though is shake my head after the products are applied because it really helps form the curls.
45 min WHILE filming? Plus your hair is long and thick. Honestly that’s much better than I thought.
I’m thinking that with a hooded dryer session while doing a daily makeup routine (15 min.) this is actually more feasible than I thought.
My hubby laughs at me when I can’t stand wet hair on me and it’s all my hair, lol!! I HATE that feeling!!
That method is fire! But I do agree with you in that your lifestyle and time constraints may dictate the frequency. One more thing, I have never seen you finger detangle with such ease. Now that im a Dickey girl, I rarely if ever, use detangling tools. How can we have tangles, if we moisture at that level every day or at least every other day. I'm a fan!!! I've been doing this for abt 2 weeks and Im hooked.
I’m a fan as well! If the coils are staying stretched and moisturized it really does cut down on detangling!
I use the Anthony Dickey method but LaToya I do it every 6 days. For me it last a lot refreshing every day just with plain water. Love your videos.
I'm confused. Do you wet your hair everyday with water and just do the styler every 6 days?
@@ClaimedQT I just spray some water and keep on going. It works for me
@@BrendaLeeBodden nice! Thank you for responding
I would be ok with daily washngo.. Its fast and you get beautiful results daily..in the summer my hair dries fast outdoors. I think the process is slower because your using a product line that requires multiples steps. All i do is wet my hair and add more leave in and gel.
My stepmom actually refreshes her wash n go everyday. She leaves with wet hair though and just lets it dry throughout the day. She also has about an hour commute so her hair does get to dry some on the way to work.
Iam a 17 yrs old from egypt and i have dreadlocks but i still be watching your vida just cuz i enjoy watching them !
Much love .
Full time working mom here with 2 little ones. Always been a wash and go lover for years. Getting hair cut into a shape. Works wonders plus it helps immensely with detangling.
I do mine every 3 -4 days. I do mine in the evening after the kids have gone to bed and dry under a hooded dryer, then pull up into a pineapple and let the shower steam refresh in the morning. It gets soo much easier as times goes. 30mins at the moment.
Girl!!! That "Hey, Google! What time is it?" is SOOO me!! Lol And then it makes me so mad when it acts like it doesn't know what I said and I have to stop what I'm doing to go check the time!! Hahaha
And I do get that about it taking less time as you continue doing it.. The longer I wait to style or refresh my hair after a wash and go, the more tangled it is.. So it absolutely makes sense.
The part with the shirt over your head. That was me this morning 😂 you take putting on a tshirt for granted.
Sooooo, I have 4C hair, and it took me a while to build up the nerve to try his method. I had a few things to consider. How early do I need to get up, what kind of routine will I use, and what products will I use. When my hair is straight, it goes down past my waist, so I needed to find a more affordable product line. Not many products work well with my hair, or they are way too expensive. I wanted to find more than one different product line because sometimes it gets to the point where that product stops working as well as it once was. It took a long time and a lot of money to find the right product. I had to establish a routine. Once I figured that out, I started doing daily wash n go's in March. I'm very happy with it! I no longer detangle outside of the shower. Very little shedding! It still is a learning curve. I discovered the hard way that I have to wait until my hair is completely dry before putting it in a ponytail/bun. Breakage! During the summer, I went to work with wet hair. It takes all day to dry. I will try the mousse to see if that will help. I need a haircut to give it a shape, otherwise it looks ok. It takes me about 30 minutes ish in the shower. My hair is in the best shape ever!
I love that you tried this in the morning. Anthony suggests if morning wash and go's don't work then switch to evening wash and go's which provides more time for drying
I think you should stick with it because your hair looks absolutely beautiful and well-defined and healthy and this is just day two. So I can only imagine that your hair will be down your back very soon!!! Just try to do it everyday and if you miss a day that's cool but I think you should try and stay on the regimen!
He has said that you should only use your no suds cleanser as often as you shampoo. In other words, don't cleanse your hair everyday. If you shampoo once a week, you should cowash your hair with the Quench conditioner the other 6 days. Otherwise, you'll risk drying out your hair. Btw, how is your scalp doing with this method?
Yes! I used the shampoo because I'm coming off of a scalp flare up (too much sugar). Next time I'll co-wash. I forgot to mention that. My scalp loves it!
@@LaToyaEbonyHair Ok cool. I'm glad it works for you. Ive always wsnted to try Hair Rules' products. I have scalp flare ups in response to dairy and sugar, so I feel your pain. I won Deva Curl Decadence No Poo and One Condition in a giveaway so I'm gonna try it this week in place of my shampoo. Then I'll cowash with a conditioner the next time I wash before switching back to shampoo.
Sis!!!!! You have no idea how much this video means to a Momma like me🙌🏾. I am a SAHM of 4. Oldest 8 youngest 1. Wash day is a CIRCUS in my house. A lot of breaks, yelling, messes because I need them to be occupied while I try to tame the crown. Many of the 4C natural youtubers are not at this stage in life so there is so much peace and flow during wash day and that just isn't my life. I appreciate the realness Sis... And when your baby was crying and you had the " Why?" Face....🤣🤣🤣 I felt that in my soul🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️🤣
The jar was empty after the second Wash &Go??? I think if you’re working in a salon, working from home, or you don’t have to work because you are married and able to live on one source of income, then yes, incorporating that regimen in your daily life is obtainable. When I first watched Anthony’s video for the first time I thought, who can do this everyday? Anyways, thanks for being our experimenter, showing us the timeline that it would possibly take. Some have more responsibilities, some have less, but it gives us an idea where we would fall in the total scheme of things. You rock!
I love the texture your hair has...the clumping, its different from the natural state. I also that you stay real...
Aww thank you! 🤗
I'm sitting here cracking up with you as your whipping your hair back and forth, so hilarious 🤣
I don't even have a job and I felt this in my soul.
It looks great tho! And didn’t take as long as I thought it would’ve but yea .. everyday is a stretch
I’m in South Africa and when my hair was still a TWA I did wash and go’s every 2 days and it was more moisturized and less detangled
I've been doing this and it takes a short amount of time. I do it every three or four days. Once your hair gets used to this you can use way less conditioner. I do not leave my hair out though. I usually wear it in twists or braids and use curlformers to dry it overnight because I hate sitting under the dryer and I don't like blow drying it either.
As Anthony said the more you do it the less time it'll take so go-ahead girrl
Your hair looks great. I love doing this method! I just love being able to take a complete shower everyday too- head to toe. You’re also very right, detangling is much easier and less stressful and time consuming. To save time some days, I just pull my hair in a bun while wet if I don’t want to do the whole drying process-slick it with a little gel, tie it down, and put a turban towel over my head to soak up water. Then I get dressed and what not and go on about my day! The dryer and drying time def makes it a bigger production. I’m so glad you tried and shared your experience with us ☺️
This is why I just air dry.
Zoe had left the building. Then, she came back. I use to do this every morning when I first went natural about 8 or 9 years ago. I never heard of Mr. Dickey before this week. I have average to low porosity depending on how she feels. She never wanted to dry.
😂😂😂 💀
My hair is still wet the next day. I can’t play around with these water methods. Low porosity hair is a whole other bag of tricks.
After I come out the shower with drenched product soaked hair. I carefully put my hair in a tshirt. A large T-shirt. Twist it up in the shirt. Get dressed eat do make up. By the time I leave all the excess is sopped up. Then it just air dries from there.
All in all
Shower and style-10 min
If I choose to diffuse after the tshirt then another 10 min. Because I’m only trying to dry the roots since the tshirt took most of the excess.
20 min total
But honestly wrapping it up in a tshirt while I do other things dries it enough for me.
The more I do it(I do it daily) I don’t have tangles, so I’m out here like a white girl/Latina girl in terms of easy peezy hair care. 🤷🏽♀️
Freshly defined set daily on 4abc 😊
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Thank you!
If I had to add an hour to my morning routine AND commute to work, I would have to be up around 4:30am or 5:00am. No thanks. This isn't feasible for long term commitment... we need a better system that's feasible and flexible. This system assumes everyone showers in the morning. What about those that shower at night? Plus my hair would be wet all the time.
It actually is flexible. It can be done at night. Just dry your hair before bedtime.
It can be done at any time of the day. Night works better for some...I'd try at night, but the way my son's sleeping schedule is set up...I'd have to go to bed with wet hair...ew. lol!
Oh my gosh, I've never seen your son before. He's so sweet! ☺️
🥰🥰 Thank youuu
I love how realistic this video is, it’s suchhhh a struggle putting clothes on after doing your hair but no one warns you about that! 😩
I tried this method yesterday in the shower and loved it. It was Quick and easy I used cheap products and had an excellent result.
I feel like this could work with a hooded dryer or defusing around your head but scrunching kinda undoes what your doing in the shower
Thanks for the experiment. I absolutely would not do this every day. Fortunately, I know how to make a wash and go stretch for a week!
I do my wash n go's daily and have for years; and it helps if you drape an old t-shirt on your back/neck while it's dripping wet
Lol Your hair looks SO soft in the beginning. I weirdly love waking up on soft scrunched hair like that, cause it looks so bomb when I pull it out with oil on my hands.
Best feeling. Yaaaasss!!!
Awesome video LaToya! You are a real trooper. I honestly would not do a WNG everyday. I only spend significant amount of time on it on wash day and the days that I re-moisturize in between washes. I need the rest of my daily time on other things - even if it's simply watching my RUclips favorite (you) :o)
Yeah, I love that you tried it before you said issa no... but as you were going through it I was like "no" LOL
PARENTS tell me the truth. Could I have tried harder? Did this match your work day too? Leave us parents tips if you've mastered it please!
Tried harder? No, you're on fire girl be kind to yourself! If my kids were small, I would do my hair in the evening - dry it before bed - band it - go to bed and wake up and just refresh. The Dickey method looks good on you!
I think you did fine but I think you can get the time shorter in due time. You can do it at night. After watching you video you with Dickey. I am on day 3 currently. I like the way my hair feels. I am committing to do it for at least the rest of this month. Seeing what products work better and how much product I go through. You have inspired me. Thank you
@@Muchacandela I think I do too, the more she does it the less time that would be spent on detangling so less time overall
@@Muchacandela I LOVE this!!! Let us know how it goes 🙌🏾
@@LaToyaEbonyHair Did you get your ends trimmed? He said it should help with the time.
30 MINUTES GIRL!!?!?!?! That would take me an hour...
whats ur secret?
Honestly...I switched to washing once a week. It's helped detangling so much.
3hrs for me, daily would not be an option
I've watched a lot of hair tubers. I'll say at least 24. If this is what supplements your income or is your income be prosperous. Some of us like myself have hair that is thin, fragile - high porosity hair. My biggest challenge is moisture. I have experienced hydra fatigue. How do I know, since I do not own a microscope? Clumps of my hair will just fall off. (Trust me I am monitoring this as at times this may be a sign of an internal health issue- not looking for answers just stating an observation) I am watching you for the first time, only one time. I wanted to comment because most may not know what hydra fatigue is. So these daily wash and gos may be a no no for some. I know you are sharing & your platform may be about other topics. After watching at least 100 videos I've sifted through, I found out about this hydra fatigue. In my regimen right now, about once a month, two months, or 3 months I put in a mask of four powders, amla, fenugreek, henna, and aloe. I tried putting a natural oil like olive oil in this mix to combat the drying effect. I felt oil coats so I did not want the oil to prevent the powders from penetrating. Again after recalling the many videos, I watched, I decided in 2 weeks, when my next treatment is due, I would put HONEY! in that mix to combat the drying effects. I stopped by to share as you are sharing. Prosperity to you and yours. Since I am not a hair tuber, I did just do a one minute update on my hair on Instagram - wordgripaction. So my point is to beware of hydra fatigue.
Loved your video and I think you will find the right balance for you. The key that works for me is I love the increased moisture and definition when I re moisten while I am in the shower anyway. I don’t wash every day but I use daily conditioner (Giovanni 50/50) and really focus on smoothing my hair shaft too. I also add a little wetline and smooth smooth smooth before a final short rinse with water, shake, shake shake, scrunch with a microfiber towel (to cut down on drying time) and use the dyson diffuser to dry it just enough to stop the dripping and VOILÀ! Bottom line is take bits and pieces and DO YOU BOO! Love watching your journey. Love your spirit as always! ❤️
30mins is the standard for type 4 wash and go. I love this method. To get dress I put a plastic bag over my head and face then put my shirt on without disturbing the curls or get my clothes wet. I do it every 2 days because I air dry and that's how long it takes to dry.
This was a good video and I think that you did a great job in doing what you needed to do and still allowing yourself one hour to walk. Thank goodness you have a husband and only one child or this could’ve been an intense struggle. He is correct in saying that a wash and go should be done EVERYDAY, however you are pretty good with your hair so i agree that every Two days for you would be sufficient. Maybe do a Wash and Go video for every Two days for us subscribers/viewers. Anyway thanks for posting such good content.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Everyday for the tightest and dryest of textures.
Just want to say, thank you! For your honesty! For your videos, for being who you are and showing us the truth about 4c hair. Thank you :) You're so awesome!
🙏🏾❤️ Aww Thank you 😊
I would do this twice per week tops! I’m way too lazy! Kudos to you for getting it done! It looks really good!
Great job! I really appreciate you for taking the time to revisit wash & go's. As a mostly wash & go gal whose fine strands have a tendency to mat when I sleep (even with a satin bonnet/pillowcase) I find it extremely helpful to separate my hair in random puffs for bed. Helps to prevent excessive tangling too. Also, I always wear a button down top when refreshing my hair. Pulling a shirt on over wet hair is the grossest feeling ever! 🙄 Love your videos so keep 'em coming.
Wow, I love both of these ideas...I didn't even think about a button up. I wear so many t shirts these days. Great tips!
@@LaToyaEbonyHair aren't we all. Lol
DaVinci is sooooo cute!
I used to do it every other day pre-pandemic. It required getting up early and even then getting out of the house with my son was a mad dash and I sometimes left with wet hair. I'd often finish drying at work or at the gym. Doable. Tiring but doable... I am an every 2 to 3 day person now. I re-wet and moisuturize and stretch between washes 🤷🏾♀️
So...I tried the method and it has actually been one of the best wash and go's that I have done. However, it took all day plus the hair dryer for my hair to dry. With that said, maybe every other day on a special week, when I'm not concerned with running out of product ...lol. The product usage though.... Thanks for you videos! Love them :)
I never had small children,😢 but I had a mom, husband to help in the morning, know I couldn't have wash my hair everyday, plus I would never do it in the winter months! So protected styles is the only way for me. I moisturerize every other night, and wash every week in summer, biweekly in winter ❄️ But an hour? you are good 👍🏼
It takes me 15-20 minutes to shower without washing my hair and I don't even shave lmao. I'm such a slow gal. And you did all that in 30 minutes! wow!
You kept setting off my google nest whenever you asked for the time. Lol
🙈🙈😆
I'm watching on my phone and Google voice stopped the video everytime she asked for the time.
Some things that will help: a hooded dryer. Keeps your hair in a downward direction, more even airflow distribution, dries hair faster, more comfortable. Button down shirt or button down cape from the beauty supply store like Sally's.
When A Love For Me did her version of the Dickey challenge back in the summer it was eye awakening for me to see the benefits of having more wash days per month instead of less. I didn't do daily because that is too much. I tried 4-5 days and saw the benefits you mentioned. It also makes me laugh and smh everytime folks whine about a washngo being an all day affair. Just try the Dickey shower method dammit! For me 30 total minutes as well. I don't mind air drying. But I add about 15 minutes for quick diffusing. Because of air drying, definitely a summer regimen for me and I'm looking forward to it. I will give it a try with every 3-4 days. Haven't tried his products. Is he doing a Black Friday so I can stock up now..lol.
I hope he does bcus honey his stuff is so expensive and he is stingy with the products. Lol 😆
And that's exactly why I'd rather try before making up my mind about anything. 🙌🏾 I'm not sure if he'll have a sale. If so, let us know!!
I keep an extra shower cap in my bedroom. I gently put it on my hair before I put on my shirt, sports bra, jewelry, etc....This protects my hair and my clothes! 💋
Your baby is toooo cute. Thanks mom. Youre doing a great job❤
Whenever I rewatch this playlist, your little "hey, Google" always sets her off 🤣🤣🤣
😆😆
The washing part is eaasssyyyy. But that Drying time 😭😭😭 I use a hooded dryer for 2 hours and diffuser for 2 hours. Is that damaging my hair????
Anywho, the wash and go is BOMMBBB on my short 4c hair. I leave it in for 5 to 7 days, I only tie it down with a satin scarf at night and fluff it out with cream of nature spray everyday and it's so soft and amazing!
Any quicker and safer drying methods are appreciated!! I love your channel!!!
Hi girl. Looking good.
The wash and go every day is not something I could do on a daily basis. I would do a twice a week. Buzy beee
When I wear my hair in wash ‘n gos, I don’t do a full wash and product reapplication every morning. I simply do not wear a shower cap and “let” my hair get wet, either by shower mist, spray or a QUICK dunk under the water. This reactivates the product that’s already in my hair. Then I SHAKE, WHIP, SPIN and SHAKE some more (most important step IMO). From there, I’m good to go! About one minute extra shower time. No drying/defusing because my hair is not soaked!😽👍🏽
Cool! I’ve been doing this every morning since I big chopped 2 years ago! And honestly my hair is always so manageable (I guess because I’m managing it daily 😅)and soft and beautiful ❤️ but conditioners are expensive so I use a Shea butter mix or a light oil 🌸🥰
I'm a once a week type of girl, but thanks for sharing. It was very entertaining and your little sunshine is adorable
But honestly your hair is absolutely gorgeous and it looks so healthy. I wish he would explain how to do twist outs but I guess he only does wash and gos!
I would not do this daily Latoya. Maybe twice a week! 👍🏾🤷🏾♀️
I tried this method and it works. I don’t buy his products because of the amount of product I need and the cost. I need cheaper products. Also, I do this during warmer months because I like to air dry. It’s too cold in Jersey right now for this.
I could probably do it. I would probably go for the walk after if it’s warmer outside so I don’t get a cold. I don’t have any kids though so it’s more feasible for me.
I dont think you should use the No Sud Cond every day. Starting with wedding the hair extreme and then de 2 second conditioner
The wash and go method works for you. I still haven’t mastered and I have a TWA. I’m working on it. My favorite media child in the video, love it.
You kept missing the roots at the top of your head hun ..but this method can work with the CHEAPEST co-wash & conditioners (actually it's meant for them) he kept reiterated that in the video that he did with you
Plus, you end up always having to wear your hair in its shrunken state. My hair looks best after one or two weeks when my wash n go is big and fluffly!
Definitely applicable to us stay home moms blessed with no breaks from children 24/7 🤗 thanks for the pros & cons honest video ❤️
The one thing I feel like that's missing from the conversation around this method, is the cost and the product involved. To keep this up every single day it looks like you'd be going through a jar of conditioner and a jar of styling gel every couple of days that adds up quickly.
I'm not a "single parent" any more, but I do own a business and I've been doing this for 5+ years. I can go 3-4 days now, just spraying with water daily and shaking to refresh every morning, and using products with high slip. It works for me, because I don't have time or energy to do anything else. I also don't mind wet hair so I don't diffuse, but some products dry quicker than others.
That shirt moment though...that is a thing!!! 😂😂😂
YES I feel like mousse is seriously slept on by people with tighter curls
You're right I've never even used mousse on my hair because I wasn't sure if it was for Type 4 hair. What mousse's do you recommend?
@@zacharydrake156 My go to has been the design essentials one (and it smells SO good but has silicones if you pay attention to that) but I've recently liked the aunt jackie's grapeseed one. I literally never do a wash and go without mousse now. I think it shapes and clumps my curls really well and then I add hold with gel so it lasts
@@sierratalbert8040 I'm going to have to try that out. Thanks 😊
Issa no for me too. I’m not a working mom but I do go to work and there isn’t enough time in the day to do wash n go’s like this. My hair takes a long time to dry and I’m not leaving the house with wet hair. I tried moisture training my hair twice a week and I have my hair cut short and it was still annoying. I love the definition you got doing this though. I’ve found that I can get away using leave in and wetline extreme gel and it makes my curls stay until I can wash my hair again.
This was so fun Toya. Great experiment. Still a no for me but glad it’s not impossible
