To yield my best wash and go results, I typically shingle my dense, fine, 4a, natural hair at the sink. I recently, however, decided to try a wash and go in the shower.

Greetings! I hope this post finds you well! So, I'm still having challenges dealing with my post-trim hair. My hair seems to be . . . weaker? Brittler?
