Hello my lovely natural, or potentially natural ladies and gents on YouTube! This is WillsGirl2005,
Im coming at you today with a (singing) Wash n Go tutorial. If you didnt get that, its
a wash n go tutorial. Okay so Im going to rant just a little bit, I have to explain
the whole process. I wanted to do a wash n go, I told you all on a previous video that
I wanted to try the HairVeda whipped Jelly for a wash n go. The first time I did it,
it turned out pretty good, but I didnt have much definition. Then I tried to usethe Eco
Styler Olive oil Gel as a wash n go, that turned out as an utter failure. I did have
some definition but, it did not last me more than a day, the next day it was just a poofed
mess. A poofed half curly mess, so I searched on YouTube, I was Like I gotta find somebody
with my kind of hair texture" cuz you all know I got all type 4 up here, A,B,C,D,E,F
&G right here. So, Im trying to find somebody with hair closer to my hair texture that has
had an successful wash n go. I came across African export- she has a video called the
best wash n go ever. And the technique that she came up with, which I believe is her original
technique, its called cute kinks. That technique works! I did a video response to her and I
didnt know what I was doing, I uploaded it to youtube, but I really only wanted it to
be private for her, somehow I got a few views on it. So if you got a chance to see that
cute kinks video response you got a preview of what my hair looked like using her technique.
I like to give people thie props, I always say that very few ideas are original. So here
on YouTube we learn from one another, we learn how to do things, we try it ourselves, ifit
works we adopt it as our own, sometime we take it a modify it a little bit and enhance
it to our own tste. Thats okay. But Im not the type of person that Ilike to take credit
for things that I didnt come up with so, if you have not seen African Exports Video on
her Cute Kinks wash n go method check her out, because she came up with that method
and it works great for people who have a hard time getting defined curls, as far as wash
n gos, and especially type 4 hair. So check her out, Im not gonna try to pretend I came
up with it, because I didnt. But I am gonna share it with those who want to see how I
do it, and how it looks on my hair. Thats the only reason why Im doing a video on it.
Im gonna try to recreate this wash n go that I had, that was great last week. But the problem
is, I washed my hair and I realizedI forgot to go get some more olive oil eco styler gel.
Now the way that African Export says that you should do a wash n go for hair thats hard
to define is not to put anything on it, put the gel on naked, freshly washed hair. I feel
comfortable using the Eco Styler Olive oil Gel because it has Olive Oil in it. I feel
like my hair needs like ultra moisture all the time, which is true. So I use the Eco
Styler with the Olive Oil fro a little added moisture. So I have today, my crystal clear
or my HairVedas Whipped Jelly. And I really want this whipped Jelly to work because of
its moisturizing properties. But Im not sure if its going to define my curlsas much as
the Eco Styler. The reason I say that is because of its consistancy. Even though, as I showed
in my HairVeda review video, this gel is kind of thick but its more creamy. not as solidly
jellied like the Eco styler gel. I dont know if its gonna be heavy enough to sit on my
hair and define it like it should. Bu we are going to give it a try. Another concern I
had a bout this Whipped Jelly isthat it has Vegetable glycerin in it, my hair tends to
swell and soak up the moisture in the air when I use something with Vegetable glycerin.
But, I looked at the Eco Styling Gel and it has a type of Glycerine in it too. So I dont
know if theres a difference between glycerine and vegetable glycerine, but, my hair did
not swell much with the Eco Styling Olive Oil gel. So hopefully with it being on naked
hair, it wont be that bad. The last wash n go I did I was able to wear it for 5 days.
I pinappled it at night, it was great, I was so surprised. but by yesterday I started getting
all those little white flakes showing up and I cannot stand that. I believe thats it for
my explanation slash rant on this wash n go technique that Im about to try. So watch n
see how I do it, and we will see how it comes out. Im going to take really small sections
cuz I want to make sure that my hair gets coated well with the gel. So Im gonna spray
it down with water. start from the root and smooth to the ends. Another reason I want
this gel to work is because its not a heavy gel and it probably wont take that long to
dry. ( music)
Well I can tell you right now, the Hairveda Whipped Jelly is not going to have the same
effect with the cute kinks method as the Eco Styler gel. And the reason for that is because
its not thick enough to smooth down the more coarser textured hair. Now you see this back
here, where my hair texture is just slightly different it curled those. And they are clumping
together. This will be just one big frizz ball. So Im going to stop right there and
Im going to show you the difference with the thicker gel. I want to try something. I want
to try the Red Tea Gel, since this section is already going to be frizzy. So Im gonna
try the red tea gel and see how it does. To me this gel is not as thick a s the whipped
jelly, but I do feel a little bit more slipwith it than I felt with the whipped jelly. It
seems like the whipped Jelly just sits on the coarser textures of my hair, it doesnt
smooth it good enough for me. It seems like this is a little bit better. Thats what your
looking for, that right there. It really coated the strands. Im just afraid that Im not going
to have enough Red Tea Gel for my whole head.Im going to work on this. ( Music)
I started putting Eco Styler Gel on the opposite side of my head. I like the definition that
Ive gotten so far with the HairVedas Red Tea Stronger Hold Gel. Im just dreading having
two different products on my head. With two different results. But Its all about trial
and error, this is what we gotta do, to see what works. At least once and I will definitely
know for sure what works, and so will you. Spray it down with a lot of water, and add
my gel starting from my root, and smooth it through. Im still appling the Eco crystal
clear to my hair. Im having memory card issues so, Ive got to minimize this video as much
a possible, so we can get er done. I just want to come on camera really quick and show
you my hair, its probably about 85% dry. The outer edges are dry but my roots are still
damp in many spots. This is the Eco Styler side, and this is the hairveda red tea gel
side. So I will come back when its completely dry and show you how it looks, put a little
oil on it and pineapple it for bed. So I will see you in a short time, bye. So now my hair
is fully dry and Im getting ready to pineapple it for bed. I just comparing the two sides.
One side shrunk up more than the other, but the definition is pretty much the same. So
Im just putting a little bit of my shea butter mix on my hair to soften it. Im also using
it to moisturing it and get the crunch out of my hair. Thats about it for my cute kinks
version of my wash n go. I hope you enjoyed this video, let me know what you think in
the comment box. If there is anything that you would like for me to try and experiment
with, with my hair. Leave it in the comment box and Ill do a video on it. Thank you for
watching and Ill see you next time, bye bye.
