Achieving the best wash and go on natural hair involves a few key steps:

1. Start with clean hair: Use a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner to thoroughly cleanse and condition your hair.

2. Detangle gently: Use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to detangle your hair while it's still wet and saturated with conditioner. This helps prevent breakage.

3. Apply a leave-in conditioner: Apply a generous amount of leave-in conditioner to keep your hair moisturized.

4. Define your curls: Use a curl-defining product like a gel or curl cream. Apply it in small sections, raking or shingling the product through your hair to define your natural curls.

5. Use the "praying hands" method: After applying the product, smooth your hair down between your hands to encourage clumping and curl definition.

6. Scrunch and air dry: Gently scrunch your hair upwards to encourage the curl formation, and allow your hair to air dry. Avoid touching your hair until it's completely dry to prevent frizz.

7. Pineapple at night: To maintain your wash and go, pineapple your hair at night by loosely tying it up in a high ponytail or using a silk/satin bonnet or pillowcase to prevent friction and preserve the curls.

8. Refresh as needed: You can refresh your wash and go on subsequent days with a spray bottle of water and a little leave-in conditioner to revive the curls.

9. Protect from humidity: Consider using anti-humidity products to help combat frizz on humid days.

10. Experiment and be patient: Finding the right products and techniques for your specific hair type may take some trial and error. Be patient and experiment to discover what works best for your natural hair.

Remember that natural hair varies greatly from person to person, so it's important to tailor your routine to your unique hair texture and needs.
