The wash and go is an evergreen hairstyle that is loved by afro women all over the world. Over the years, it has proven to be a quick, easy and reliable hairstyle, perfect for showing off natural curls and coils in all their glory, while wearing it looking as chic and stylish as ever.

While the wash and go is a convenient and stylish option, it can take some practice to achieve perfect definition. This guide will walk you through the wash and go process for afro hair, with tips and techniques used by popular YouTuber, Miss Kayy Amor. So, without further ado, let’s get started with the tutorial!

Before you start with a natural hairstyle, it’s important to make sure you’re starting with clean hair, preferably freshly washed, dried, and moisturized. Washing your hair before styling will help your style last longer because there’s less buildup on your scalp and less chance of irritation or the need to wash it.

Applying warm water to your hair is a great way to hydrate it before styling. This practice helps to soften your hair and open the cuticle, giving any product you apply a better chance of penetrating the hair shaft, resulting in maximum definition overall. Take a spray bottle and fill it with warm to slightly hot water. Spritz sparingly onto each section of hair before applying the product.
