DEFINED WASH N GO (Short to Medium Length Natural Hair) (4B/4C Natural Hair) (Updated) (2018)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- Here's how I create my Wash N Go on my short to medium natural hair. I’ve had a few questions on how I get my type 4b/4c hair so defined, so I wanted to put together this video showing you how you can achieve similar results.
So the trick to getting my natural coils nicely defined, is simply to create small sections when parting my hair and by applying a generous amount of hair gel and that’s it. But if the sections of your hair are too big and you don’t apply enough gel, then your strands won’t be properly defined.
This defined Wash and Go style typically takes up to 2 hours to create, but I do have quicker ways of doing it, but it just means my hair won’t be as defined, which is ok.

REAL 4C HAIR...I really appreciate the video...I was starting to think I was 4E
Brit De word
Nubia Sista same🤧
Brit De lol
I think I am 4z
🤣🤣🤣
THIS is 4c hair. Them other youtubers stay lying 😭
😄😄😄
Aquarius right 🤦🏾♀️ hair be bone straight and they talm bout sum “yEaH sO mY hAiR iS 4w” 😭
Exactly.
exactly. i had to keep scrolling to find my hair type and this is it
Yh my hair has turned into this as rice water has made my hair think and kiknky 4 type hair🤣💣
Type 4 hair is the most unique versitile hair on this planet we can manipulate it into any style and curl pattern yet other hair types can't mimic our type 4 hair.. It amazes me how you can look at a type 4 and think its super short then when you stretch a curl out it flows all the way down your back.. I literally forget how long my hair really is until I pull my curls down because shrinkage is an illusion of what the true length actually is. Black hair is absolutely amazing to me the abilities it has and the versatility is endless.
Tray yes! Type 4 hair (and sometimes type 3) is the only type that looks thicker and d nser as it gets longer. Looser hair types loose their perceived thickness as their hair gets long
@@indeeditiscirro true. Its more obvious when they wet it. I won't look thick just long
YES 😍😍😍
The devil works hard but shrinkage works harder... 🤣 your hair looks great!!
Thank you 😆
😂😂
Wow, you're hair is actually pretty long. The shrinkage had me fooled. 💚
Haha...😁 I know! I even forget how long it is, when I’ve not stretched it out for a while.
Lol. 4c hair can shrink up to 85%! It's my favorite hair type. You can literally do anything with 4c hair. It's magical. Lol.
Seriously thick too!
First RUclipsr I've found who has my exact hair type. 👐 Love it!
😊😃🤗
now this is good hair
when she said 2 hours I coughed out my food, wow
The name wash and go is hella deceiving 🤣
That got me too. I was gonna try it but now I feel like I might as well do some box braids if it’s gonna take 2 hours lol I’m gonna try it and see if I can find a faster method for my nappy...I mean 4c hair lol
wash n GO really only works with type 3 hair... apply some product n do a lil comb thru cuz their curls are already defined when wet. our hair, 4c, is not defined (without some manipulating) AT ALL 🗿
@@nileriver1632 i have 4c, 4b mix . Mostly 4c and can get away with a wash and go and a little bit of leave in conditioner. Just depends on the moisture already in the hair I guess . My hair is soft, and my coils are defined
@@nileriver1632 so true. The style, wash and go, only became popular because Type 3's were shoved to the forefront of the movement and many of us who didn't even know that what works for them did not work for us, were doing everything we could to mimic them. Since they were at the forefront, many of us believed that's what all natural hair is suppose to look like and if it didn't, something was wrong.
I tried a wash n go it was looking nice wet once it dried completely my hair started looking for stars 🤦🏾♀️
anna ghinzu lol 😂 😂 I feel you
Blow dry it while keeping the curls stretched out, your hair will stay how it drys
And when you dry it, dry it in sections right after you apply your products
@@eatpraylove1395 thank you so much
Damn I'm so in LOVE with natural black people's hair.... You all are cute with natural hair 😍😍😘
Thanks 😁
Hey guys 👋🏾 it’s been a while, but I’m back with my Updated Wash N Go video. Sorry for the delay, I’ve just been taking some time out since having my newborn and enjoying some quality time with the family. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the video and if you have any questions, feel free to ask away 😊
Healthy Afro Hair congrats ! Protection on ur baby
Healthy Afro Hair what are you filming with
Was your hair sprayed with any water or oil before
Healthy Afro Hair does this gel leave your hair hard or flaky??
Do you do this on soaking wet hair? 💋
THANK YOUUU! I’ve been natural 3 years now and has spent COUNTLESS dollars and COUNTLESS hours trying to obtain this look. THANK YOU SO MUCH SIS
You’re so welcome! Glad it’s been helpful ❤️
Finally someone with my hair type! So thankful!
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Finally, someone who has the same shrinkage experience as me.
😁😁
Finally a real 4C hair tutorial. God bless!
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
The music you chose is so vibey, and i loved all the still shots you took. Very high quality video. I also liked the strechy bands you used. They seemed very easy on your hair
Thank you, glad you liked it! 😊 And yes, the bands are really good and stretch out the hair well.
@@HealthyAfroHair love the bands too! Where can I get similar ones?
I love that your hair has so much movement! I will have to try doing smaller sections for my wash and goes.
Yeah, definitely give it a try and let me know if it makes a difference.
I have 3a curly hair and I'm only watching this video to get motivation. The amount of dedication 4c girls do to get they're hair looking FLAWLESS is really motivating to me. Whereas for me, I just have to shampoo my hair, condition my hair, put in a very light curl cream, and then put a mousse in it and wait for it to dry. Stay safe! Ly girl!
Yep, we’ve gotta put in the work 💪🏾😄 Hope you found the motivation you needed.
Why a wm is watching this vid I have no idea. Guess I saw a pretty AA woman w pretty hair and clicked. I had no idea AA women had to commit that much time and effort into their stylish hairstyle. We men thank you for all your efforts. Your hair looks amazing. Now I want my fingers playing in your hair
I was just about to send out a search party! Butttttt since you came with a peace offering . . .*this video* . . I'll call off the big dogs. Lol. Great video and results!
I’m back, I’m back 😆😆😆ahhh...thanks, glad you liked it!
Hiya,
Thank you for this. I tried my first wash go ever, I always do twist outs, and I love your method. It worked on my hair brilliantly, although I didn't do tiny sections like you did, I raked it with my fingers. I got compliments left right and centre. I know this is an old video, so I had to search for it 😅. I returned back my natural hair nearly 3 years now. Keep creating content, there is something for everyone. Thank you so much💕
Great video! Also glad to have a fellow Brit repping for us 4b/4c ladies! I tried banding whilst wet and leaving it 5i dry! It turned out to be a disaster! 😂🤣😂 Not sure where I went wrong. I must admit I prefer doing dry wash and goes because I get better definition and it dries do much more faster. I tend to band, fluff etc after its fully dry. Going to look at your dry wash and go.
Hey, thank you! Yep...gotta represent 🙌🏾😁Did you try the dry wash n go in the end? If so, I hope it turned out well.
Finally a video with a title thats actually true
Thank you!
I have a 3" length hair all over so when I get your length I will definitely use your method of stretching ..it turned out beautiful!!!
I nvr get my wash n go right😂😂😂💔💔💔 i look like a frizzled chicken
😆😆 Keep trying, you’ll eventually get it.
Me too😂😂🌚
Me too never come out right
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Aaliyah Andrew 🤣🤣
The flaxseed gel is MAGIC. I dont get good results with eco styler. Love your video!
This vid came at the perfect time, I was planning on trying a wash and go next week! Will defo try your technique, love the idea of banding aswell 💛
Oh...perfect! Yeah, give it a try and let me know how it goes 💖
Hair is sooooooo thick I love it 😫
Thanks 😁💛
I got here from StarPuppy. I know this comment is long but please bear with me. This weekend I bought two TGIN products from their Miracle RepaiRX collection. l went whole hog and brought the Deep Hydrating Hair Mask and Protective Leave In condition. I wash with Shea Moisture low porosity protein free shampoo followed by palm sized amount cheap instant coconut oil conditioner layered under lots of mask. My hair loved the new mask by In the way. I wore a plastic cap without heat for 90 minutes. Rinsed then and while keeping my hair soaking wet I applied the TGIN instant leave in and started styling my wash and go with an even mix of Taliah Waalib Curl Gello and As I Am curling smoothie. I combed this curling duo through section of my hair with my fingers and a denman brush until it started clumping and separating. My hair dries so quickly in the process so I kept misting with water before I moved on to the next section. When my hair was finally coiled all over I shook all the water from my hair. My hair is the longest on top and it is the thinnest. I could shake loose the products from top and crown. However, the hair strands on the sides and back shrunk tighter and close to the scalp. I honesty believe when I shook my head I nearly gave myself whiplash bc the hair on back and sides stayed sopping wet. My wash and go looked great in the beginning. It felt so moisturized. My wash and go is three days old and it is fading. I spritz with water in the morning. Even though the curls on the sides and back spring up, back of the crown which is gray white, is frizzy without curl definition. Should I keep spritzing at night too to restore moisture? Should I add oil to water spritz. When I rewash, should I eliminate/add a step or product? Or give up the wash and go? Any suggestions would be appreciated!!!!
Came for the hair, the accent was a bonus!
😄😄😄
This is exactly how my 4c hair looks for a wash n go. If I want it to look curlier I have to twist them
Just did a wash n go using this method Sunday. It came out just like this. The process was a little long but worth the results!! Thank you!!
That’s what I like to hear...well done 🙌🏾
I never even thought of using bands literally genius 🤩
😉😉😉
I have so many friends who think they don't have a curl pattern. I'm so happy I can share this with them and show them they actually do!
Btw where'd you get those big colorful stretchy bands?
I also thought I didn't have a curl pattern
Me too. Until like 4 month ago. Is that sad??
This is how my hair is. When I look up 4c wash and go and it look nothing like how mines would look I get confused. But this video here I love it
Ahh...thank you ☺️
The hair came out great. I'm over here jamming to the soundtrack as well.
Thank you! 😆
No way!! I tried this and guess WHAT!?! , it actually WORKED!!!
your coils are beautiful.love your hair
Thanks so much 💕
Your hair is lovely. Also I might have just learnt a new trick....stretching it while it is still wet....next wash and go
Ahh.:.thank you! Great, glad you learnt something 🙌🏾 Let me know if it works 👌🏾
@@HealthyAfroHair will do
have you ever done bentonite clay rinse? Protective Princess did that to train her 4c wash n go, and me as well. it makes it faster because your curl trains before product is even applied. Also have you ever tried hair grease over 100% lanolin? i like the blue magic indian hemp. I began it 4 months ago and also stopped washing my hair. I just apply grease on the dry old hair, the lanolin, then wet from root to tip and lanolin, water, lanolin, water, and final seal with grease, then band my hair into fake "cornrows". every 3 weeks. My hair has begun growing 1 inch every 3 weeks since I do this, for the past 4 times. That's 4 inches in less than 4 months. I recommend it, I learned this from the african chebe women(they use grease, and never wash their hair)
No, I’ve never done a bentonite clay rinse before, but may give it a try one day. Thanks for sharing.
Such a unique and beautiful curl pattern. Wow. Amazing
Thank you!
Finally found a RUclipsr with the same hair type as me
Thank you. I will give this a try. The bands is like doing the African Threading Method in a way.
So wash & conditioner
Leave in conditioner
Flaxseed Gel
Stretchy Hair Bands
Air dry or hood dryer for faster time and I'm good to go
The stretchy bands help me out so I don't have to put a 100 rollers rods in my hair. Your method is quicker and easier. Thanks, I will be doing this today.
Happy New Year's!
Great, hope it turned out well 👌🏾 and yes it’s like African threading, but much quicker.
Your hair, look, personality are all Beautiful!!!
Aww...thank you so much ☺️❤️
This is what I needed my hair is type 4 xy and z so I will be trying this!!!!!
Great, hope it turns out well 😁
I love your hair I'm screaming GOALS!!
#OurHairIsBeautiful
Ahh...thank you 🤗❤️
This is my hair texture 😇
🤗🤗
Nice hair texture and the stretching method is a great idea. I will try it!
Thank you! Yes, definitely give it a try.
What should I type in on Amazon for the stretching bands? I want to make sure I'm getting the right ones!
I’m so late but regular scrunchies are good for banding
You can literally cut up an old t shirt and have the same effect
Phenoxyethanol, Polyaminopropyl biguanide, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone, Limonene, Hexyl Cinnamal, Linalool, Amyl Cinnamal, Methylpropional. Had to look up some of these ingredients in the Aunt Jackie’s Don’t Shrink Flaxseed Elongating Curling Gel. Chemicals that are not good if absorbed into your scalp.
Thanks for the heads up! I no longer use this product.
This makes me want to try a wash n go one more time but I highkey know it's going to come out looking crazy
Definitely give it another go, you might surprise yourself 😊
So I guess my hair isn’t 4c anymore! My curls are a little looser... I don’t understand I use to have 4C hair and it never curled! My big chop a year ago changed that! I have 4a & 4b hair I can’t wait until my hair get your length... You have beautiful hair
Aww...thank you ☺️ Just keep going, you’ll be there before you know it.
Theres somthing about your 4c that i like it's just nice....Try applying the gel on soacking wet hair while in the shower and dont shingle just rake it through takes 15min and your be good to go 2hr is way too long trust me you can achieve the same look in 15min
we have the same exact hair texture. cant wait to try this style for summer.
This is why my hair stays put under my weaves...I find natural hair to be tooooo time consuming...slap on a wip and go!...🤷🏿♀️
I hear ya! 😄
Yeah I’m a mother in college. I don’t have 2 hours lol
Life saver! Gotta get this gel & use your stretching method
Yes definitely! Hope you get great results.
Would love to see what you do with your hair at night, and what you do as the week progresses to maintain your style
You have literally cured my depression!
Aww...bless you!
I tried it it took too long so I stopped
Oh...nooo 😩 It’s definitely time consuming. Maybe give it another try when you have the time.
Rotfl😩😂
Gonna try this next week (thank goddess for quarantine XD). When I FIRST jump out the shower the shrinkage isn't too bad, vs when it dries. It's about your length, maybe just slightly shorter so let's see if I can get it popping.
You can do it! 🙌🏾
Real 4c hair. Thank you! Your hair looks great!
Thank you and you’re welcome 😊
I find that wetting my 4c hair after detangling helps shorten the process and calls for less product.
Exactly
I missed you!! Great results!! Your hair is looks so healthy and strong!
Awww...I’m back now 🤗 Thanks so much, glad you liked it.
Omg I LOVE your hair and the technique I'll be doing this tonight
Thank you...hope it turns out great 🤗
Great result! I'd like to try this can you tell me the name of the hair bands and where you got them. Love your videos simple and to the point.
Ahhh...thanks so much! ☺️ I bought them from Beauty by Zara, but you can also get them from Amazon. There’s no particular name, but try searching under ‘Large Stretchy Bands’.
Healthy Afro Hair Beauty by Zara is my usual go to, Thanks
Oh...great!
Does it shrink throughout the day? And how does it respond to rain? I’m thinking of wearing my Afro out but I’m very sceptical of my hair😅
I CRINGE at the fact I thought my hair was 4c just because I was black I have mostly 3c some 4a hair😭😭
*4c hair is amazingly beautiful I just think it’s funny I thought my hair was this and it’s nowhere near it I’m so mesmerized by the 4c texture*
Many people are unsure of their hair type, so it’s no big deal 😊
Yasss you hair came out so nicely 🥰
Hi my hair drys supper fast do you think this method would work better spraying water along with the gel
Hey, yes spray with water first, so it’s kept moisturised.
even better do it in the shower on soaking wet hair and rake through your products the shake and let it dry takes 15min
Definitely gonna try this!!!!😍😍 loved the results, do you take the bands out once it dries or does it not matter?
My 3 yr olds hair texture 🥰🥰
🥰🥰
I'm new to doing wash and go's but this video was so helpful
Ahh...that’s good to hear 🤗
This was Heaven sent, thank you so much 😊
Ahh...you’re so welcome! Glad to hear it 🤗
Welcome back! You and your hair are so pretty! *Length check, please! Congrats in your newborn! How many does that make, 3?♥️😊
Thank you so much. Yes, I need to do a length check video, just not too sure when yet. But that’s correct, I have 3 children now 🤗💕
This only took me about 1 hr or less to do . I got nervous I did it wrong but I have shorter and finer hair. I banded it let’s hope it comes it cute 🤞🏿
I definitely am impressed by your hair I wish to do the same but mines will never come out right . What gel you used ?
I used Aunt Jackie’s Flaxseed Gel. But definitely keep trying!!
Please promote black owned hair products. Now is the time to look after our own sis 🖤
Good job, your hair looks wonderful! !
Thanks so much 💛
is there a specific website where I could find the stretchy hairbands? I have tried to look for them but I haven't found anything!
Yes, try Amazon or eBay.
Beautiful thick hair! Have you tried this method using more water as you go?
You should use water and a curling cream first. I believe the results would have came out a bit better
Great video I love you so much btw you are pretty
Awww...you’re so sweet, thank you 😊🤗😘
Great video! Thanks for putting this together for us! Came at right time for me. Had a set back with my hair as I went to a "natural expert" hairdresser for a trim and she cut too much....
Anyway back on the wash n go routine. How do you keep your wash n go moisturised throughout the week? I have high porosity fine hair and I find that if i dont moisturize daily my hair gets really dry in this style. Only thing is mosturizing can upset the definition AND make my hair gummy/sticky through the build up I think. Do you experience this? If so, how do you overcome it?
Thanks :)
Hey thanks! Sorry to hear about your salon experience, you must have been really annoyed 😏 Anyway, to help keep my wash n go moisturised I tend to either spritz my hair a bit of water, apply my leave-in or just add coconut oil. I do get some slight frizzing when I add water, but then I sometimes add coconut oil on top, which helps just slightly. Also the style only lasts about 3, maybe 4 days (before getting really frizzy) so I’ll just rock a high puff or another style till wash day.
Healthy Afro Hair thank you for your feedback 😀
I hate using gel it flakes for me and causes shrinkage.
Is your hair moisturized well after this? I am concerned about doing this for me because you didn’t use any moisturizers
For the first day yes, but after that, it did begin to dry out, so I always spritz with water or added a bit of moisture.
Hi Julie! How often would you do a style like this? Is this only a summer style? Are these still your go to products? Thanks in advance!!!
Hey! I used to constantly wear WNG’s throughout all seasons, as this was one of the styles I managed to master when I first big chop. I only stopped due to the extreme knots & tangles I had to deal with come washday. But I no longer use that gel and like to use Uncle Funky’s daughter curly magic.
😀So great to see you! It’s been a minute...you’re looking happy and healthy so I imagine all is well with your new addition and family💕
Your hair turned out really pretty. How do you feel about the No Shrinkage claim?
Thank you! Yes it’s been a while 😊 Oh...I filmed this video before my little one was born. It so happened that she came the day the video was due to go up! But I’m very well thanks. What’s the No Shrinkage Claim? I’ve never heard of it.
Healthy Afro Hair 💕With it being called Don’t Shrink a few of reviews have commented on the degree of shrinkage reduction in comparison to their favorite products😉
Oh...sorry, I thought you were referring to something completely different 😁 To be honest, I haven’t noticed any major differences in comparison to other gels I’ve used.
Very nice video Thank You for sharing.
Thank you and no worries!
Has anyone tried this method with eco styler gel and had good results? Before I go try it out lol
I know it's been 9 months but whenever I use eco gel, it shrinks my hair like crazy. What were your results when you tried it
The flakes on my hair was too much when i used it and the hair was soo crunchy
can't wait to try
I've heard some things about Aunt Jackie..
Positive things? Please share. Tia
Your hair is beautiful!!!
Thank you ☺️
your accent is beautiful
Ahh...thank you ☺️
Wow. I'm so doing this after my next wash. Thanks. Mwah
You’re welcome!
So heres the thing, my hair is like that when its dry and when it's wet its kinda curly idk help me what is my hair type 😭😭😭😭
Omg thx I want to try this style! Where did you buy this product gel from?
No need to wet the hair before applying the gel?
Some ppl add gel first. Others, curl definer...Thoughts???
It really depends on each person’s hair. I mean you’ll find that certain products/methods will work best for some, whilst others not so much. So it’s really about experimenting and doing what works.
How long do you wear your wash and gos and and how do you maintain it for those periods
So I tend to wear them for about 2-3 days and when I moisturise at night, I keep my hair stretched with large stretchy bands.
What is the name of the clips hat she is using in the video?❤️
