When it comes to hair care, finding the right products for a flawless wash n go can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. As a busy parent juggling everything from school drop-offs to bedtime routines, I need a wash-n-go routine and products that deliver results without a ton of fuss. Enter: The Doux 808 Gel and The Doux Bee Girl Gel, a dream team that has completely transformed my wash n go game. If you’re ready for defined, hydrated curls that last an entire week, keep reading—I’ve got you covered.
Why This Duo Works Wonders
Before I dive into the steps, let me tell you why I’m obsessed with this combo:

- 808 Gel: All about definition without weighing your curls down.
- Bee Girl Gel: Brings moisture and shine, locking in hydration.
- The Results: No flaking, no crunch, and curls that last seven days without needing a refresh.
Whether you’re managing 3A ringlets or 4C coils, this combo is a game-changer.
My Step-by-Step Wash N Go Routine
1. Start with Clean Hair
Clean hair is the foundation of any good wash n go routine. Use a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner to prep your curls. Bonus points if you deep condition for extra hydration—trust me, your curls will thank you.
2. Apply a Leave-In Conditioner
I used the Mizani Miracle Milk for my leave-in, and it worked like a charm. It’s lightweight, detangles beautifully, and adds that first layer of hydration your curls need to pop.
3. Apply Doux 808 Gel
Work the Doux 808 Gel through your damp hair in sections, making sure every curl is coated. This gel creates definition and provides light hold—the perfect base for long-lasting style.
4. Layer on Doux Bee Girl Gel
Here’s where the magic happens. Layer the Doux Bee Girl Gel on top of the 808 Gel. It amps up shine, locks in moisture, and provides extra hold. Smooth it through each section to seal the deal.
5. Scrunch in Doux Mousse Def
For that final touch, scrunch in the Doux Mousse Def to encourage curl clumping and give your curls extra bounce. The mousse adds an airy lightness, which is key for volume and movement.
6. Diffuse to Set
Using a diffuser on medium heat, dry your hair while lifting the roots for extra volume. Prefer air drying? That works too, but diffusing locks in the shape and cuts drying time.
Real Talk: My Results
When I first tried this duo, I didn’t expect it to last seven full days. But it delivered! My curls stayed hydrated, shiny, and defined all week long without needing a refresh. I’m giving this combo a solid 10/10 for performance.

Who Will Love This Combo?
- Curl Types: Works well for 3A-4C curls. Adjust product amounts for tighter or looser curls.
- Porosity: Ideal for medium to high porosity hair. Low-porosity curlies can use slightly less Bee Girl Gel.
- Busy People: Perfect for those who don’t have time for mid-week touch-ups.
Tips for Wash N Go Success
- Don’t Skimp on Water: Applying products to soaking wet hair helps with definition and reduces frizz.
- Use Your Fingers: Finger application gives the best results, though tools can help.
- Experiment: Every head of hair is unique, so play around with product ratios until you find your sweet spot.
Final Thoughts
If you’re looking for a wash n go routine that’s easy, effective, and long-lasting, the Doux 808 Gel and Bee Girl Gel are a winning combo. They’ve made my hair routine quicker and more predictable—exactly what I need as a parent on the go.

Thanks so much. I have a 4th grader that would like to wear her curls more next year.
Yay! Just know that younger kids tend to play a lot more rougher, just know that her curls may not last as long and be sure to keep her hair wrapped up when she’s home.
