| A plait in front helps to blend the straight pieces with the rest of my curly hair |
Even though the majority of my hair is still nice and curly, the front of my hair is practically straight when I wear a wash n’ go because of heat damage. I’ve been doing lots of braid outs and twist outs to help add texture to that area. I finally figured out how to blend the straight pieces in with the rest of my hair when I wear my natural curls. I feel so silly for not figuring it out sooner but hey, better late than never.

| Gel of Choice for my Wash n’ Go styles |
Basically, I apply product to my hair the way I normally would for a wash n’ go. I use leave-in conditioner on wet hair (usually Suave Coconut Conditioner) and then seal with oil. Right now I’m lovin’ African Royale’s Hot Six Oil, which is a Bronner Bros. product. Then I apply Argan Oil Eco Styler Gel to my hair in medium size sections starting with the back and rake it through. When I get to the front, heat damaged area, I still apply products in the same way. Then I take that section and braid it up in one plait. Sometimes I’ll do a two strand twist with a roller on the end. Since I start my wash n’ go’s at night, I usually pull the rest of my hair back into a puff and cover my hair with a satin bonnet. The next day I take down the puff and spritz with my leave-in spray mixture. Then I shake my hair out to bring the curls back to life. Lastly, I take down the plait or twist, which is usually a bit damp but is now wavy in texture and blends in better with the rest of my hair.
