Rejects Wash and Go.

It started with two buns.


I had some free time, and still have some excess (summer) products from last year's adventures that I thought I'd better use up.

So here we go.


1. I jumped in the shower and co washed with Eden Body Works Coconut Cowash.
It will take a meteorite of an an event/product to stop me from using this cowash - f'real, f'real. I'm on my third? Fourth? Tub. I LOVE this!

2, I wanted strengthening of my hair's pattern and I didn't want to spend aaages in the shower marinating, so I used Aphogee's 2 minute reconstructor. Am I the only one who has to plan their hairstyle before they wash so they know what products to use? Otherwise, I just end up in a foaming, flustered flap.

3. I jumped out and used my As I am Leave In Conditioner. Lazy Quick Review: Love the citrusy orangey scent, has no slip and feels a bit weird after you've handed it, but works well on wet hair and as an underwear layer on my wash and go because it's light and has little to no build up. The packaging drove me MAD though. The ink is water soluble, so every time I touched the label with wet hands for my wash and go, I'd end up with black specks everywhere. In annoyance, I pulled off the label, but the glue was tougher than the writing ink and now it's like having gentle velcro on the bottle when I handle it.

On top, I layered Eden Body Works Pudding Soufflé, inspired by Christina and her sister. My hair looked like I'd put soufflé in it, but it dries clear.
I'd originally bought it as a moisturiser for dry hair but it does so very much better as a leave in on wet hair.

Then I finished off with Kinky Curly Curling Custard. I like it but it's 2) too expensive and 3) slightly too sticky/tacky to the touch even nearly two weeks later.. It's soft but touchable (kinda...) hold can't be denied and neither can that deee-licious scent. Plus, a little goes a long way. I thought I'd finish it this time around but no. I still have enough for another go it seems.

  1. Your hair looks great! I've resolved that wash and gos are in no way, shape, or form, for me and my 4c hair. It's like a mega-rebellion of sorts. lol Your hair looks very healthy. Tried some new products recently. Did I share it? https://youtu.be/HwylbLwVoLQ Have you tried these products before?

    1. I don't do a wash and go often...it too easily leads to neglect, regret and mushroom head (not necessarily in that order).
      I haven't...yet! They're getting quite popular here in the UK, but I've resisted do far.
      Or rather, I'm looking for an overly generous deal come back Friday.
      I know I've probably said it before but Libby, your voice is ever so soothing and genteel. And that twist out turned out really cute! I have to admit, I love the puff too. It really highlights your face.
