Heyyyy if you’re still a bit new to this wash & go thing, here’s a few more helpful tips I wish someone told me before I cried in front of the mirror for hours :)
• if your ends are bone straight, just cut your hair man. Don’t hold onto it, it’s not worth it, & it’ll save you from many frustrated ugly mirrors cries.
• if you want a more voluminous wash and go, style with lighter hair products and maybe skip out on the gel (*con*) doesn’t last as long / tends to get frizzy after 2-3 days
• if you want a more defined / weighed down / elongated wash and go, style with heavier products (like thick creams and butters) and gels
(*con*) less volume, lots of product buildup
• it’s okay to experiment! everyone’s hair is different, maybe you don’t like any of the styles mentioned in this video, but you can create your own :) dedicate some time to just go crazy
• rinsing your curls with cold water helps a lot with frizz! I mean ALOT. If you don’t like cold showers, just bend your head over the stream.
• layers are your friend. Layers bring endless possibilities, lots of volume, and so much depth. If you haven’t already, invest in a cool haircut! (You know if you want.)
Not to be weird or anything but what is your. Hair type and how did you get your hair to that length
not weird at all :) my hair type is 3b/c and I have a video on my channel alll about it! should be the third one down from this one :))
@@laurscurls ok thanks
I noticed that putting a foam overtop my gel made a more voluminous but longer lasting curls. Like the foam makes it harder to have a gel cast, but the gel still keeps the curls in their form for much longer
Wowwww I never thought to try this! I’m definitely gonna see to it next wash and go, thanks for sharing 😊
To say that your hair is beautiful, is an understatement.
🥰🥰🥰
Yooooo so true
Jesus loves you John 3:16, Jeremiah 29:11, Proverbs 29:11
You. Are. A. GENIUS!!! I had NO idea you could get such a difference in your hair's shape by the way you concentrated where the gel went! Now I know why my wash and gos didn't look right! Thank you so much for posting this video!!! 💖💖💖💖💖
Thank you for such a kind comment you’re so welcome!! 💓 I thought someone would’ve made a video by now about this but I searched to no avail. I’m glad I could share some newish info with you! :)
Yeah this definitely helped me!! 💖
Jesus loves you John 3:16, Jeremiah 29:11, Proverbs 29:1
I don’t think you know what you just did. Minutes before finding this video I was on the phone with my mom saying I wanted a haircut because I want to improve my hair shape, but I just recreated the rounded look with your tips and I love that. No scissors necessary! You are doing the lords work!!!!
So happy to hear this!! 😊 thanks so much for watching I’m so glad this vid could be of help to you 💓
Yes! I'm so nervous to cut my hair but I was going to do it because I dont like how my hair falls after washngo s but im going to try this and hopefully don't have to cut at all!
I'm so glad my hair shape is like the rounded, I know it'll be hard to start shaping it like you're doing
In the thumbnails I think the hairstyle on the lower left is the most flattering on you. It looks posh yet fun and youthful. The hairstyle on the upper left makes you look like a token black character on Dynasty. The one on the upper right looks a bit awkward as it's starkly obvious that the roots are singled out and slicked down with a strong gel. The lower right is the worst of all. It makes you look like a welfare queen. Go with the lower left.
I have an idea. The Dynasty shoulder pads hairstyle could look stylish and modern if you swept it into a huge side ponytail. If you stack 2 ponytails on top of each other it'll look like one big ponytail and make the most of your hair's natural fullness. This way you'd look totally badass wearing a plain white t-shirt, light jeans and white sneakers.
The elongated wet look is what I've been doing this entire summer, the important factor is the head scarf it makes a difference. Love your content!
Thanks for watching 🥰
Is there any thing you can use as replacement of a hair scarf ?
@@Karreekay. old t-shirt! place the neck hole to sit around your hairline, and the rest will dangle down. same effect as a headscarf
@@Karreekay. I've been asking also, I'm wondering if I can just wrap a shirt around my hair instead?
@@genesis011 yes, that should work! just make sure it's tight/wont move
Black girl's hairs are just amazing, y'all look so gorgeous
honestly, i just need the confidence to let my hair look big. im so used to weighing it down to make it look as small & ‘’straight’’ as possible. anyway, thank you for this video, i’ll be using these tips!!! :))💓💓
GIRL I know it all too well. I stopped looking at my hair as “frizzy” and started looking at it as just hair lol. Takes practice and lots of reframing but again it’s juuuuust hair (cool hair at that) and you deserve to feel great in your most natural state!
So glad you could take something from this video 🥰 best of luck to ya always
@@laurscurls thank you so much :’)!!
And here I am looking for the biggest hair possible I want my afro to be as big as the moon
omg same
Do it!!! I love that look, and am ENVIOUS of anyone rocking it!
Your natural hair, with no product in it is SO BEAUTIFUL!!! I LOVE the FULNESS, the CURL, the LENGTH, the CUT, the SHAPE, the WAY IT MOVES!!! I am so in love with your hair😍😍😍. And you! ❤️💕❤️💕
just perfecttttt~
ik this aimed at me but i have the same exact hair as her and i hate how my hair looks when it looks like that because i think its weird but this made me so much more confident
she really just taught me what i needed to know these past 27 years in 10 minutes.
Definitely trying this out. Have the same struggle figuring out why my hair looked different after every wash and go
Yessss Its the worst sometimes ! hope it works well for you 😊
As someone with fine hair I can’t WAIT to try the rounded look for my wash day tomorrow
LMK HOW IT WORKS OUT 💓
Ikr
How was it?
Me too
I can never get it rounded, so I can't wait to try it!
Did it work?
This is crazy genius. Unbelievable. Now I know the reason why my wash and go come out looking different everytime.
This whole time I wondered why my daughter ended up with the "long wet hair" look lol thank you so much, will be trying the other methods for sure
💞💞💞
I’m definitely an elongated wet look person. But I was trying to figure out how to do a different style and almost considered cutting my hair. Thank you for the tips!
Miss your content girl xoxo
Heyyy India 🥰 lots more coming :))
this video is a goldmine. i personally do all of these styles but my favorite is the triangle. and i love how you didn’t downplay the triangle shape. ✨
Aww thank you so much. & fr the triangle shape is so pretty yet the most hated on in the community 😩 otr to give it the hype it deserves
Your day 1 no product hair is SO BEAUTIFUL. Definitely my inspiration to keep growing out my hair.
Thank you sm💕 best of luck on your journey always! 💛
okay but like this had to have taken FOREVER! the patience you show in this video, i could never. also you hair is so pretty when its dry without product! ✨
Thank you so much! 💛 took a long while to get to this point, I thank little laur for deciding to make the switch :)

1. The triangle 2:45
2.rounded 5:49
3. The wet look 7:53
thank you so so much
These are great tips! I’ve been natural since 2003 and I realize I was clueless. I typically have the wet long look and just refer to it as first day hair. I have to wait a few days to get rounded look. I will try new method next wash.
Omg my mom used to style my hair like that all the time! GOBS of ampro gel. Letting my hair dry without any product with it really opened my eyes to what my hair really looked like 😭
I hope it works out for you please let me know your thoughts after! Thanks for watching 💕
I wondered why my hair would come out looking different sometimes, this explains it. Also helps me to know how to place my gel for the look I want 😍 thanks!
You’re welcome, thanks for watching! ❤️
I know this video isn’t about what I’m going to say but you really helped me out with a problem I was having!!
My ends always looked so ‘stringy’ after applying gel and I hated it. You telling that you use an oil after drying helped me SO MUCH with this issue!!
THANK YOU ❤️ God bless you🙏🏼
”Styling technique” is more important than the actual products sometimes!
10000% :)
for sure!
Definitely will be applying the rounded look technique because my roots tend to be heavy. Thanks for the tips gorgeous!🌸🌸🌸
You’re so welcome, let me know how it turns out!! 💕
@@laurscurls my hair is fully dry now and I LOVEE IT❤❤
YEAHHHHH that’s what we like to hear 😊 so happy it went well!
@@laurscurls THANKS GURLL💕💕
What do you mean heavy?
I don't have the same hair type, but this was such an informative video that you executed so well! the way you present the info and your opinions is so clear and uplifting
This is such a sweet comment thank you so much ♥️
Love this, it’s crazy cause I was realizing that my hair came out very differently and I was focused on how I was brushing my hair but never thought about how the gel application changed it
Honestly that’s awesome all the things u can do with ur hair just from styling. That’s one big advantage of curly hair, you have a large variety of styles you can choose from.
I have straight hair but I’m gonna watch this whole video
I absolutely love this! I never would've thought that placement drastically changes the shape of your style, GENIUS *chefs kiss* 💕
I’m so glad I found this video! I’ve been so frustrated with my hair - to the point that I considered detransitioning from natural. This is so helpful ❤️
You're a genius!!! While my hair isn't as curly as yours, that third option is something I've been wanting to achieve for so long! I thought it was impossible, and that I could only get that weighed down look when it's soaking wet 😅so excited to try it, THANK YOU SO MUCH
Thank you so much for this video 🙏🏾 I’ve been wearing wash n go’s exclusively since I got a curly haircut 2 years ago but I hadn’t figured out what I was doing differently when I got these results. Now, I have options! It’s not just a roll of the dice anymore!
She explained this wonderfully 😭👏🏼 I personally love the rounded look, apparently I do it all the time without even realizing it ☠️ definitely coming back to this video whenever I want to do the wet look/triangle
I absolutely HAVE to try the "rounded" look. Thank you so much for this!!!! I struggle with my hair daily. It never comes out the same. I see so many girls and they part their hair and brush style, I find that to be a huge struggle!! Thank YOU SO MUCH!
Omg I LOVE the wet look! I’m definitely going to be doing it come next summer. Having your hair big like that in the summer is a nightmare
i literally love your voice and the way u describe each style so uniquely is so comforting, thank u sm u don’t even understand how much serotonin this gave me
yesss the elongated look is my go to for when I want something cute without sleeking back my hair with a brush!! 😍💞
omg this is soooo important!!!! I've always felt bad about my hair, because people looked good and knew how to style their hair in different ways and they looked amazing in it. And i would try, and i looked very weird. Started taking care of my hair and trying new styles, girl, I've been getting compliments all the time!
Nah Isn’t that the BEST feeling??? I’m so happy for you girl that’s something I truly hope every curly person experiences in their lifetime 💓 here’s to cool styles all year round 🧚🏽♂️
i watched the whole videos waiting to see the 4th style in the thumbnail only to realize it was your natural hair i’m on one. your natural hair without any product looks the best imo; you’re lucky asf
so sweet hank you so much 💕 lots of hard work and ugly crying in the mirror got it to where it is now lemme tell ya lol. Grateful all around :)
After two years of transitioning to my natural hair, I followed your tips and it finally, finally did what I always wanted it to. THANK you - I would never have thought to place gel strategically. This is the best advice I’ve found!
duuuudeeee BEYOND talented and smart for this omg 😳
Stop it, thanks dood 💕☄️
Omg your hair is gorgeous I’m still going through my hair journey and I’m going to start subscribing because it looks like you know what your doing
🥰🤎🤎
the amount of work you've put in this video!
and it really helped a lot, think you so much
the way that this makes so much sense 😭 i swear this taught me that attention to detail is key
i remembered that i had this video in my watch later, so i watched it right before i washed my hair today to test it out. my hair came out perfectly!! it was round how i like it and super defined. i always avoided wash n gos because they didn’t give me this effect so thank you for posting this!
LOVE THATTTT I’m so happy!! you’re so welcome, I’m glad it could help you like wash & go’s a lil more!🤎
Side note: your voice is so relaxing omg
This video just changed my life THANK YOU❤❤❤
Girllll you are soooo naturally prettyyy♥️
thank you SOOOO MUCH for showing different lengths and textures in the examples. This helps a lot!!! Also lovveeee ur videos. 💖
You’re so welcome, thanks for being here ☺️🧡
My hair grows into the “rounded” shape naturally, I never use gel and I’m excited to give this a shot.
💕🧡💓
I’ve needed this for SO long thank you
Sissss you did THAT! 🔥😍 this is such a game changer you don’t even understandddd!!!
This is a very helpful tutorial! Thank you for explaining and showing us! I have always done the wet look. But now that I know, I’m going to try the other styles. The rounded looks amazing! ❤️
You’re so welcome, thank you!! 💕💕
You are absolutely stunning. Your beauty takes my breath away. Just... Simply gorgeous!
so sweet thank you sm 🤎
I’ve been doing the triangle and wet look so much I forgot how to do the round look. Thank you for the refresher!
Your natural hair is INSANE🤩 So so gorgeous!!!😍
I LOVE YOUR HAIR, like don’t be shy shareeee😭✨🙌🏾
whats the addy 😤💛
Girl YOURE SO PRETTY😭😭💗💗 AND THAT HAIRRR, you are BLESSED😍😍
manifesting your hair thickness omg
sending the claim up 4 you 😤
loved your video! I haven't seen anyone else discuss it!
Thank you so much! 💕
I am so in love with your beauty. I think you are just simply gorgeous
The fact you can do this with shorter hair makes me even happier! Thank you so much :)
So glad I found this. I've been frustrated with my hair; I want to grow it longer, but I hate the shape of it and wanna cut it so bad. Part of it is because I'm growing out an undercut and side shaves, and part is damage due to bleach and color. I don't know what to do with it anymore, I'm at the end of my rope. This video is truly what I needed. I'm gonna try these out and see what works best for me and my messed up hair. Thank you for making this, you're a lifesaver 😭💖
WOW!!! I will be doing all three for a good switch up. Thank you 😃
You’re so welcome! Hope it works out for ya :))
I had NO idea I was mostly doing the rounded look which I personally don’t like on me. I need to try the other two. Thank you! This video was extremely helpful!
You’re welcome! Let me know what you think, I wanna know 💓
your hair is GORGEOUS
Omg I needed this so much! I honestly couldn’t stand that my hair seems to love the triangle look but I never realized how much the gel placement mattered!
i’ve litterally been dying to know why every time i wash my hair the hair volume/ style changes even though i put in the same products, i’m so happy i came across this video
I love your vids sm keep up the work!
Aww thank you for being here! :)
You literally are my hair goals, you’re STUNNING 🤩
Your voice is sooo soothing! Love your curls as well
Thanks for this video! I've been natural for years now, but I always wear my hair is twists and twist outs, because I've had bad luck with wash-n-gos. I'm going to give this a try and see how it looks! I like the first look best.
You’re so welcome! I hope everything turns out well and thank you ! 💌
Same girl! I only trust twist or braid outs cause the wash n gos be an experiment but gonna give it a go
This was such a nice video! I’m sure it took a lot of work but this is so informative and helpful. Love it!
Awww thank you so much for recognizing that :’) I’m so glad you could pull some value from it thank you! 💕
Wow one of the best videos I’ve watched in regards to curly hair. TY
Thank you so much! I usually do the rounded style unintentionally but I've been looking for a method that is less voluminous and more lengthy to persevere length! tysm! I hope it works for me :)
You’re welcome! I hope it works
Out too :) ✨
Can any of these looks work for 4a type hair, because this shrinkage seems to be giving me only the basic Afro or rounded (i guess) look. And I wanna try some new looks with my hair. Plus love your videos !!! 🤧❤️
Yes! I would say to apply on soaking wet hair, use a thicker gel, and definitely a thicker leave in product :) maybe apply a light leave in to your soaking wet hair, apply a thick leave in to certain areas in addition to your favorite gel. So for example for the triangle look, apply your leave in, apply your thick cream based product to the top of your head, THEN apply your gel on top of that. More control & laying power :) thank you so much for watching and I hope it works for you! 💕
I my hair is the same and I had the same question. Thank you for asking
@@laurscurls I second this because I have 4a hair and this is what I do!
@@hexxgirl777 your going to need to give us type 4 girls a lesson cuz I have no faith in this method for my hair 🤣
I do the triangle shape on my 4a.I use the same method with the gel and add duck clips or a scarf on the top of my head. Looking forward to trying the other shapes out too
Man your natural hair is the prettiest style. Love it so much from shape to volume, all of it! so beautiful!
I never heard or thought of this before but the title and thumbnail already make so much sense. Your video sponsor is also relevant to me so THANK YOU for making this video.
I’m white with two white parents, my hair it’s very similar to yours and you are saving my hair from becoming a giant frizzy ball on top of my head and I thank you for that
I felt this oml no one in my family can help
White people have curly hair to sone straight some curls are looser
@@elizaleorowe8384 fr everybody in my family either straightens their hair or alr has straight hair
This is such a good video 🥺 my hair be on triangle but I wanna get it more rounded so this is perfect, thank you!!
Aww you’re so welcome! Glad you could take something from it 🥰
I love the elongated wet look!
Omg you’re back 😩😩💗
The key to the rounded look is to have layers giving your curls a round shape
Layers are definitely part of it!
Your the secret to my curls thankyou
eee I’m honored 🧡
your hair is absolutely gorgeous. i’m currently working on keeping my hair healthy. i have about the same hair type as you, so hopefully in a couple years i can achieve those stunning curls!!
They all look so beautiful, I can't decide on a favorite
my hair is SO voluminous and I don't like it because I can't go outside without a ponytail, or else my hair would look so messy lol. But this video helped me so much!! I absolutely love the "elongated wet style", I always wanted my hair to look less voluminous and I finally got it! Thank you so much for sharing this video 🤍 Greetings from Italy
I love to do the wet look. Rock for a day or two and then split the curls up and get a look between one and two.
I have super thick hair so it’s one of the only ways I can preserve a wash and go for more than a few days without my hair frizzing out.
Just found this video on my feed and I’m so glad I did. Every time I wash my hair it comes out different when it dries. I knew it had to do with product placement, but I wasn’t sure where to now put it and how much. I’m definitely still learning which leave ins are healthiest and work best with my hair type, style, and thickness. Thank you for this video, I’m going to try the rounded look for product placement to help my current cut style to look it’s best and most voluminous ❤
i tried the rounded one and it worked!!! you’re a life saver
I'm going to have to try this omg your hair looks stunning every way!
Aww thanks Alexaaaa! 💓
And please do, i’d love to see your results on your beeeautiful hair
Your hair with no product omg my dream 😭😍
luv u Onyankopon 💌
The elongated wet look is my fav to do on myself.
I am SO excited to try these different looks! I never thought of this before! 😍
This is one of the most informative videos I've ever seen! I can't wait to try the second method out. But I have a question: would diffusing ruin it? Would I have to do it in a specific way? My hair would be frizzy and with no volume at all otherwise.
You can diffuse for sure, just be gentle and don’t disrupt the gel cast while doing it & you’re golden :)))
All these years of being natural... NEVER thought to do this. Now I am curious to see what my hair will do. Thank YOU!
this is what ive been looking for year nows. tysm you dont understand how helpful this is
I still can’t get over your hair!! So beautiful!!! ❤️
Aww thank you 💓
thank you so much, i just tried the elongated wet look but i think its shrinking back to my natural triangle/rounded shape 😭 do you have some more tips on how to not make it shrink ? also, my hair doesnt dry with the head scarf on, but the part thats not covered does, is that normal 😭
Yes! Double up on products, triple up on moisture. Get a long headscarf and tie it tight around all of your hair, give it a couple hours to dry fully. I would do this hours before going out, or as soon as I’d wake up in the morning. The uncovered part drying faster is completely normal, you just gotta wrap it :) 💛 I usually get my giant scarfs from beauty supply stores or thrift stores.
@@laurscurls omg thank you so much, just by following the vid i had great results! tysm for taking time to answer🧡
Wish you could do mine for me! 😭
THHANNNNKKK YOOUUUU your honesty the best Laura!!! Your hair tips have really helped me with my hair growth journey!! Your amazing and I cannot wait to watch more of your content!!! ❤️ number one fan right here Im soo happy I found your channel tbh my wash and goes hair style is usually the "rounded shape" thats my go to hairstyle but since I've seen your different "gel styles" cannot wait to try it on my hair!!!
