Not too tight since I don't want twist outs.

Then in the morning, I apply oil to the dry twists, followed by a leave in conditioner before I loosen the twists. I tried doing it after I loosen the twists and found it shrunk more so I stick to before....




This gives me longer hair while still maintaining kinky curly definition.


For extra stretch, I'd pull my hair into a low bun. This stretches the hair at the roots while still leaving some definition at the ends.


I wrap the band loosely on the bunny tail (can't call it a pony tail) so it doesn't stretch my hair too straight and make it look weird.....straight roots, curly ends....not a good look for me.



Before I head out, I'll take off the band to give me wash and go's that look like this.....


.....and be accused of not having 4c hair......lol! I absolutely do except in front where I have 4b texture and even some straight 1a strands which I usually pluck off!

The picture below is when I couldn't be bothered with stretching....leaving shrinkage to give me a nice bob or whatever it decides to give me......





So that's my way of getting more length out of wash and gos.

Do you rock wash and gos?
How do you stretch it out?
