First Wash Day of The Year - I had to use @olaplex to set the tone!! This wash n go has me feeling like a new woman! It's been a few months since I've worn my hair this way and I didn't realize how much I missed this style 🥹💕 I mean yes the curls always eat but there's something about rocking a wash n go that makes me feel like a literal goddess! My hair desperately needed moisture & restoration after doing fiftylem hairstyles in December. I can count on @olaplex to get me right! Full wash day details drop tomorrow! Turn your post notifications on cause this one is special 😭🫶🏾 LTKStyleTip LTKBeauty LTKFindsUnder50

I did this style on an OLD blow dried twist out... meaning I blew my hair out then did a twist out. My hair was about 1 1/2 weeks old. That really helped me achieve the volume needed to make this style a success.

Day 2 Hair with @ilovethedoux Big Poppa Defining Gel 🖤

This was my first time wearing a wash n go on a beach trip and my first time trying this gel... very risky I know, living life on the edge 😂. It all worked out anyway. My wash n go was flourishing on the beach and the gel went toe to toe with the humidity! I barley had any frizz at the end of the day 🤭

When I hit the beach I'm staying until sunset! ☀️

This is what I use to refresh my braids & prepare myself for a day at the beach. I love moisturizing with Shea butter because it dissolves slower in water than lotion and nobody wants to be ashy at the beach 🙃. A beach hat is always a necessity! Protect your scalp & face especially if you have dark spots. The way this bikini pant set hugged my body up 😭🙌🏾 you better getchu one of theseee!

#SheaMoisturePartner Giving my hair a much needed Spring REFRESH using products from the @SheaMoisture Curl Stretch Collection! 🌺

I whipped out one of my favorite product duos that I rely on to gather my hair quickly! My hair was desperate for moisture and I love that these products put life back into my hair. Trying to re-style dry hair could potentially cause breakage so I love the hydrating slip provided by the Curl Stretch Multi-tasking Volume Cream! This made my hair easy to transform into this cute floral up-do. #sheahair

Wash N Go Combo For BIG Hair 😍

This wash n go was focused on volume & hydration rather than definition! This product combo by @patternbeauty was extremely lightweight which is key to getting the big hair you desire. This was my first time using @Patternbeauty to style my hair and I must say I am a fan!! The SCENT chosen for these products has to be one of my favorite and that says a lot considering I've tried so many different products. I love the way my hair looks, feels AND smells! ✨

For type 4 hair... mousse = volume over definition but @patternbeauty gave me both! 💛

After YEARS of being natural I'm still discovering that certain products give you a different outcome. This product combo gave me a lot of volume which is something I don't get when I use curl creams & custards. BUT I also know that with using a mousse the definition won't last as long and it has less hold on my type 4 hair. When I want big BIG hair mousse is the go-to product!

3 WEEK OLD WASH N GO 😭🙌🏾 This is how I REFRESH my hair ✨

I always stick to using the same product I originally styled my hair with so there's no flaking. I focus mostly on re-defining any frizz or the parts of my hair that are the driest.

My wash n go lasting this long truly depends on the products I use! My hair retains moisture and definition longer when I use curling cream & custards.

Makeup that makes your routine EASY are a girls best friend 🫶🏾

I finally tried the @madebymitchell Curve Case which is a contour + blush palette. I got the palette made for deep skin tones which means more vibrant blush & an array of dark contour shades to choose from. I love the dewy, creamy consistency that makes this product easy to blend out ! The curve case did not disappoint and I couldn't be happier with my purchase 😘

I need all my TYPE 4 curl friends to tap in cause this video is for you! 🫶🏿 I styled my hair with products from the NEW Curl Stretch collection by @SheaMoisture and it was made to target all my type 4 hair NEEDS!

It took my hair from dry & frizzy to moisturized & defined! The slip from the Curl Stretch Multi-Tasking Cream helped me easily detangle & style my hair. My curl definition lasted longer than 5 days thanks to the hold I got from using the cream. I also loved smelling like mango, rose & vanilla thanks to the Curl Stretch Collection!

Refreshing my hair with MOUSSE 💕

I grabbed a random mousse off my product shelf so I could refresh my curls... I had no idea it was going to have my curls popping like this! 😍😭 It's rare that I use mousse by itself but this this is proof that sometimes less is more!!

FINALLY got my hands on @Donnasrecipe 😉🥧

This was my first time trying the styling products and I decided to do a twist out. There's a few things I noticed while styling my hair:

🥧 I would repurchase these products for the SCENT alone. Very addicting! I kept the twists in my hair for 2 days and sniffed my hair the entire time. 😂
🥧 Both the leave-in & hair cream were extremely HYDRATING! Perfect products for LOC or LCO method.
🥧 The products easily absorbed into my hair and left my hair feeling soft & full of luster.

Here's A Simple Way To Style Your Wash N Go🌸

This is an easy way to elevate your wash n go and/or accessorize it. It's also great if you want your hair out of your face or you're stretching out wash day.

🌸Use an edge control with MAX hold. You don't want an edge control that melts away or turns watery.
🌸It's important to use a skinny head band under the scarf for the desired look. It keeps the hair in place without giving you a headache, while the scarf is loosely tied for decoration.

Let's unbox this hair together! 🫣

Depending on what's under the bonnet, it can either make or break your day 😅. I had my first wash day of the year and decided to do a wash n go. This is how I fluff & style my hair.

Product: @olaplex No.7 Bonding Oil

#LTKGiftGuide #LTKBeauty #LTKStyleTip

Still freaking out over the fact that I'M ON @olaplex WEBSITE using their newest product Olaplex No.10 Curl Defining Gel!!

In honor of that my first wash day of the year is dedicated to using mostly Olaplex products. I had to sneak my favorite pre-poo in there 😉

Essential Wash Day Tips:
- Always pre-poo before you shampoo. This will stop your hair from matting and reduce breakage.
- Tackles your hair in sections. I love to twist my hair up while I pre-poo & detangle. I leave it in twists when I shampoo, then take take the twists outs to condition & detangle. I twist it right back up BEFORE I rinse. When it's time to style my hair it's already divied up into smaller sections so I can easily apply my product.
- Use a denman brush to define your curls and apply product when your hair is wet! Re-water it with a spray bottle if you need too.
