Natural Hairstyle File: Wash 'n' Go using CatWalk!

I tried a wash 'n' go Saturday and it came out pretty poofy. I used CatWalk's Curls Rock Curl Amplifier. It felt great going on but I had major shrinkage. I wore a bun all day Sunday and Monday. So last night after my workout I ran some water over it and tried adding two more pumps of the CatWalk. Bunned that up and slept on it. This morning my hair was still damp but by pulling it up in the bun while still wet I got a little bit of stretch (less shrinkage). Decided to rock this for today. I love the definition. Tonight I'm doing a flexi-rod set to prep for my trip home! It's the best style because it requires even less maintenance than my flat ironed hair! 

OH and if you weren't aware Shea Moisture is on sale again at Walgreens for Buy 1 Get One Free! My rain checks are null and void now because getting a free product trumps getting one for 1/2 off !!! Maybe I'll order online at walgreens.com (that way I'm not searching for the products I want).

Peace & Blessings,

My Staple Products

My Keep It Simple  Product Theory

As you'll see in the video I don't use too many products. I try to make sure the products I use reflect the concepts of healthy hair care. 

Washing, Conditioning, Deep Conditioning, Moisturizing, Sealing.

If I have 1 or 2 max products for each step of the process then I am happy. Like most people my hair can get used to certain products so I try to switch it up from time to time. Everyone is different, so if you do try these products and they don't work for you keep looking. You'll find your product. I would suggest sticking to the steps/concepts to avoid product junkie syndrome. Also, when available, try out samples of a product before buying the full-size. 

What products have been good for your hair?

A Super Powered Oil

Extra Virgin Coconut Oil

Lots of naturals rave about extra virgin olive oil, but I'm more of an EVCO girl. Since it's the only oil that penetrates into the hair shaft my hair feels GREAT after applying it. I've gone through a couple manufactures and have found my favorite: Dr.Bronner's  Fair Trade Virgin Coconut Oil.

Hair Drying

Revlon Amber Waves Hair Dryer (1875 Watts)

To dry my twist and curls, braid and curls, and flexi rod sets I use this dryer. It recently had a malfunction and I've yet to get it checked out. 
Other than that, I love it!

I also use Conair's Ionic Ceramic Styler (1875 Watts). It's a hand dryer I just purchased with a diffuser. I can't wait to use it on a wash 'n go!
