Great vid. Thanks for posting. I think I tried it with the wrong gel. I always look for the proud lady on my hair products. So IC fantasia wasn't made by a black owned company. I'm gonna try to find a good gel that was. But your hair looks really cute. :)
Your hair came out beautiful!! By the way what type of hair do your have? I think you may be the closest to being my hair twin for 80% of my hair textures. Your daughter is a real cutie pie.
Not to sure about the aloe vera gel. I say give it a try and see how it turns out :-) I am a HUGE fan of IC Fantasia and ECO so I pretty much stick to either of those. They don't have alcohol so they don't appear to be damaging.
Your hair is very pretty. I love the IC Fantasia products. I have never used the gel before but I will definitely have to get some. I'm in the transition stage.
Sorry for taking so long to reply - I would classify the result after drying as "crunchy" not necessarily hard. To avoid the crunchiness you have to use a leave in conditioner under the gel. IC Fantasia does not work well with leave in's. You have to use another gel like the brown ECO gel.
Your welcome. I hope that the video is informative. You may not have to wash your hair everyday. Sometimes I would just spritz a leave in conditioner all over and apply some more gel here and there. If you do decide to wash your hair everyday I would recommend only doing a conditioner wash and not using shampoo every day.
This gel gives beautiful curls to 4A hair. I did the same thing with my hair for years. I had to stop though, using gel long term is horrible on my hair.
A hair stylist just told me to stop using gel for my wash and go styles. I purchased some products by Design Essentials from her that are supposed to work really well on natural hair. I'll post some pics after I try it.
Hi Schrece - thanks for stopping by and commenting. For this style I only used the IC Fantasia gel. For the co-wash I used the Herbal Essence Moisturizing conditioner in the blue bottle.
I may eventually do a product video . . . let me check my stash :-)
Love the curls=).The brown gel your ref to is eco styler gel? I think it clumps my curls better then fantasia gel,but I'll still have a small section of the sides at the nape area that stays puffy with any gel.The IC really works for you.
Yes I was referring to the eco styler gel. I just learned that eco has large variety of gels in different colors. I used the brown one with a hold level 7.
I've been wearing the blow-out/flat iron look lately so haven't gotten around to doing the video yet.
I have a new technique that I got from Youtube using a leave in conditioner and a brown gel (Ecu). I will try to do a video using those products in a couple of weeks.
You are welcome! I don't know what type my hair is. I haven't taken the time to figure it out - but I guess I should :-) I say just give it a try one weekend morning and see what happens. I "discovered" how the gel would do in my hair by trial and error, so don't be afraid to experiment :-)

Looks lovely! I, too, am looking for a product that doesn't make my hair feel/looking crunchy. Does IC feel/look crunchy when dried?

Looks great. Does all that gel make it feel crunchy? I worry about that....and how long did it take you to comb it all out into sections?

Have you tried a twist-out. If my understanding of 4b is correct, twist-outs would work great and hold its wave definition for a while.

Oh thank you soo much for showing how to do a wash and go. Finally some directions. So would I have to wash my hair everyday if I did this.
I hear the Honeybush tea soft hold gel from Qhemet Biologics was a good gel and is noursihing and moisturizing. So it could be a good option for you.
