Revisiting the Wash 'n' Go

After 2 months of constantly keeping my hair in two strand twists, I decided to give my hair a break and try a signature CG style wash 'n' go with gel this weekend. Here's what I did:

• Pre-detangled/pre-pooed with coconut oil on dry hair. I used my fingers to remove some of the shed hairs from my twists. It left my hair feeling soft and moisturised.
•  Tried to DC with the samples of the Shea Moisture Organic Raw Shea Butter Deep Treatment Masque I received from Glam Natural Life. Alas, its fragrance was much too strong. My scalp turned red, started itching, swelling, and aching. *sniffles*
• Cleansed scalp and hair with Yes to Cucumbers Color Protection Shampoo.
• Conditioned and finger detangled with TRESemme Naturals Nourishing Moisture Conditioner
• Plopped for 10 minutes.
• Applied nickel sized amount of the Curls Curl Creme Brule to each section; sealed with safflower oil.
• Applied Xcess Sport Hold Styling Gel to each section.

I'm happy to note that the finger detangling went MUCH better than it usually does! I went through each section like I do with the Denman - start at the ends, and move knots down. I got rid of much of my shed hair, plus I could easily comb through my hair from roots to ends after I finished a section. And the bonus? I wasn't in the shower for nearly 2.5 hours. Anywho, here's some shots I took of my hair in various states yesterday and today:

After diffusing for a good 10-15 minutes and several hours of air drying, the back of my head/left side looked pretty good, methinks.

This looks ridiculous, I know. But I can't yet pineapple, and didn't have a satin scarf. So I just flipped my hair upside down, bobby pinned different sections, and went to sleep. Here's the back view.

The front. It was worth looking like a 
fool to get these results. 
Please excuse my eyeballs, btdubs. Lol.

I'm loving my results so far! Oh, and here are my "empties" (products that I've finished) for the last 2 weeks! :-D
