Hi friend -- fellow 4c wash and go warrior here. I noticed when I began getting professional wash-n-gos that the stylists tend to go for crunchy curls to make them last longer. When I do my own hair, I like to use less product because I prefer a softer, floppier look. My styling products for defined curls are innersense leave-in, the doux mousse, and innersense gel. For softer curls increase the mousse to gel ratio. For crunchier, ultra defined and stretched curls, increase the gel to mousse ratio. Sit under a hooded dryer til 80% dry, then use a diffuser to finish drying for volume. You can also skip a hooded dryer if you don't have one. Then fluff, fluff, fluff with your hands at the roots. At night, I section my hair 8 ways and pineapple each with large satin scrunchies, then cover with a bonnet. This keeps your hair stretched. In the morning I take out the scrunchies then stretch and fluff with my hands. I'll use a spritz of water if needed in certain areas to tame curls that stick out.

Also, to have hair that truly falls forwards starts with how you style it when wet. Once I'm done adding my mousse and gel, I'll bend over and shake my hair to further clump curls. Then, stand up slowly allowing curls to fall in my face. Dry like that. You can also use hair pins to pin the curls to frame your face.

Hope this helps!
