So I have been thinking alot lately about my hair and how I always hated that I couldn't just wash and go with no product like my straight haired friends. So DH and I were joking around tonight (he's a curly who cuts with a #2 guard) about how I am a PJ by necessity not choice . So to prove my point, I water washed, did no rinse out, leave-in or styler to show what I would look like if I wore my naked hair out.

I always wonder if other wavies' hair looks like mine does when "naked" or maybe I am missing something and could make my hair look better. I don know that I still have a lot of damage from blowdrying my hair straight daily for 19 years (did I just admit that?!) but going CG in August has really helped but its not perfect. So, without further ado, here's my hair naked - show me yours!

Looks nice!

I wear my hair without product all the time, I have a couple pictures posted on some previous threads.

You make me SICK!!!

Take a look in my fotki - think it's Day 5 hair with my hair just out of a pineapple for *naked* hair. Not pretty!

ETA: And BTW, with hair like that and no product, I'm having hard time thinking you're a wavy.

Seriously. That's at LEAST as curly as my hair is when I scrunch it while it's wet without product, if not moreso... and I definitely feel I'm more a curly than a wavy at the root (ha) of it.

Thanks guys - its way frizzier than the pictures show - trust me!! As for the wavy/curly thing - I thought unless the curl started the root then it was wavy? Plus as you can see the back of my head is kind of a flat mess. The uneveness of my hair has me all confused.

Guano on my on thread for a second - whatsercurl - do you still water wash frequently? I am thinking to experiment with less styling and co-washing and more water-washing to see if my curl pattern tightens.

I'm doing my hair more frequently since I *found* Daily Fix. But I'm still lazy at heart and do my hair as infrequently as possible. I find the less I mess with my hair the better it looks which works well with my work ethic around hair.

I often do nothing but an occasional spritz and scrunch for 7 days plus. My hair gets curlier as the days progress for some bizarro reason.

And mims - ITA - I'm having a hard time with the wavy designation. My hair is that curly after product. Maybe a bit curlier towards the root but I'm a hot mess without product.

Mom - you're NOT a wavy.

kenzie!

My nakkie hair....I seriously think my curl pattern has gotten looser since going CG, and later modifying it. Maybe I should switch back to my former sulfate-y goodness. I used to NEVER have to use product, and I didn't have frizz, but now I have to use product, I have frizz, and my hair is less wurly....**sighh**

I also used to be pretty solidly 3a, but i decided to cut it off cause I knew it would suit my face better.....and my hair gets less curly as it gets shorter.

yall are gonna have to click it, cause I'm far too lazy to mess with photobucket....sorry!!

My hair is just a puffy mess without product in it. You wouldn't even be able to tell what my hair type was! haha

I don't have any naked hair pics because if I didn't do anything to my hair then that means I am in my pajamas, my hair is all wild from sleeping on it and trying to take a picture would just break my camera.

I was also wondering if it would ever be possible to step out of the shower without any product and get the same results? Mine was a poofy mess as well earlier this week :[ but my curls were there so that was ok

I guess this weekend I will try to get a naked (hair) pic up for you all to see. I probably make it out to be worse than it really is but it still isn't pretty.

If I use no product, my hair is a fly-away mess. Very full, maybe I have some curl on the ends, if I'm lucky. I did this the other night experimenting with night-time co-washing, and morning time conditioner/leave-in application. Mostly just to what would happen. El-yucko. I'll have to do this over the weekend. I leave the house without make-up, but I'd never be seen in public with naked hair.

CurlyQMom, your naked hair is AMAZING!

Yeah, my hair is straight with no product. Seriously. Esp if I air dried it. If I diffused it, you might see a bend or two, but no curls, and certainly not anything that would last long enough to take a pic.

When I do my PT/DT this weekend, I'll let it airdry with no product.

I almost always use no product. Air dry outta the shower. (I suck i know) every picture on my page (i'll post the link later, its blocked at work) is w/o product. When i use product (other than leave in condish) it rebels... that is once i find the right balance of moisture and protein.
