OMG, A Stretched Wash and Go!!!  

4/12/2013

    I can't believe it!  Seriously?!!?!?!?!  My fro is in a stretched wash and go finally!!!!  I have been getting questions asking if 4C hair had any hope in achieving a wash and go style.  I think that anyone can wash their hair and go,  but it may not look like what you want it to look like LOL  In reality, I would totally be a wash and go girl if I didn't get so many knots after doing them. After all, I only tend to twist my hair on wash days and the rest of the time I allow my fro to do it's thing!  
    So today I decided to give another wash and go a try.  My last wash and go was with Eco Styler gel and it could have been better lol. It was very shrunken (like all my wash and go's are lol) and it also had a white cast on it from the gel :/  My coils were popping but they shrunk down soo tight that it went unnoticed.  I have been trying to figure out ways to stretch my hair but allowing it to do its thing and coil up as it shrinks...  Ladies, I think I figured something out!   My hair is actually way more stretched in this wash and go today!  I'm soo shocked!!!  I hoping this will lead to little to no tangles at all this time around...I'm very hopeful!  
    I'm going to post a tutorial on what I did the next time I do this style (which will be soon lol), because I have no footage of the process from today since it was random :(     I hope you like this!  
  God bless :D

 My First Stretched Wash and Go 
I haven't picked my hair out to get a more even look yet, so it's very chunky lol.  
I only used my fingers for now :)   (I'm still in shock lol!)

Excuse the lighting in the pictures, it was raining today and it was very cloudy out :(

Hi Rochelle B!
I'm soo excited! :D This will be a nice option to have especially since it's getting warmer out. I gonna keep playing around with it learning how to shape it without "disturbing" it much before my fro realizes it didn't SHRINK all the way down to my scalp lol. Hopefully I'll get the same results next time when I'm recording it lol! I hope it's not an epic fail next time!

I can't handle wash and go in the winter to cold outside, it's the end of april we still had flurries and only four degrees. I find using rahssoul clay helps a lot with wash and go. Also the bentonite clay if good for hair and skin. You can use the avocado oil on your skin it's not greasy, you can also get it from the grocery store. Looking forward to your stretched technic. Always remember you are smart, cheap chic mom :-
