How to Preserve a Wash and Go Overnight/ Stretch a Wash and Go (For short hair)

Hey loves! This is a pretty straight forward pictorial. This is my preferred method of stretching my wash and go and preserving it overnight, 1.) because it’s simple 2.) it eliminates the need to use heat to stretch my hair 3.) it’s less stress on my hair.

Depending on the products that I use, I’m usually able to do this 3-4 nights in a row (after rocking a day one wash and go) and as each day passes, my hair gets fuller and more voluminous. I love this hack!

Enjoy!

 

1. Grab sections of your hair (the shorter your hair, the more sections you’ll need) and wrap a hair tie around them. I don’t part my hair because I don’t want to encourage straight lines forming. It’s not cute when you’re fluffing the next day. Just grab sections of hair and band it. Keep in mind, the tighter your hair band the more your hair will stretch, but you also risk creating bends in your hair. I usually wrap the hair tie around once for large parts of hair (on the sides) and twice for the top. (This is only because I usually end up with less hair there.)

  

2. The next morning (or hours later), remove the hair bands.

Shake.

Fluff.

 

 

… and keep it movin’!
