4 Month Co-Washing Challenge!

[luckyduck]

I know I am late but I didn't want to commit to something and then drop out. I tried this last week but I ended up with hair that was breaking off left and right.

So, do most of you cowash in the morning and then go about your day? Because last time I did it at night and I attempted to braid my hair and sleep on it but that didn't turn out so well.

Also, what do you do with your hair afterwards? Just bun it or clip it up?

TIA for any responses.

I prefer to DC overnight and CW in the mornings. I detangle w/my fingers under running water most of the time, but will also use my shower comb or Mr. Do-Right (Denman) apply a bit of my condish as a leave-in and seal w/JBCO or Vatika Frosting then bun or leave it down to air dry.

Okay, here’s my plan. I’m co-washing every other night in the shower with HE moisturizing conditioner. After wrapping hair in a towel and greasing myself, I’m using Mizani Night Time stuff than the ORS carrot oil moisturizer than the BT and then I do Bantu knots while still damp. Next morning, I mix a little castor oil with some Mango butter and fluff my curls. Bad Bantu-out day equals headband or bun – good Bantu-out day equals big pretty jheri curl looking afro. The good looking dry curl of the 90’s not the Ready for the World curl look of the 80’s. No Glow for me.

Anywho, the off day, I usually bun. I need accessories.

Right now I’m trying to think of a special event so that I can straighten my hair. Didn’t want to until you told me I couldn’t. Go figure.

This is going to be EZ!

I cowash at night and then DC. I try not to comb my hair and just finger comb. Afterwards, I apply some of my conditioner as a leave in and seal with coconut oil or some other oil. I tie my hair down with 2 satin scarves and go to bed. The following morning, I sit under a warm dryer for about 20 min. to finish drying. This is how I usually wear my hair when I cowash, HTH:

I co-washed last night with Elucence moisture balancing conditioner. However, my daily co-washes are more like co-rinses, I apply the conditioner to my dry hair at least 1/2 hour before showering at the end of my shower I rinse out the conditioner. Very little manipulation!

Co washed with Redken Smooth Down conditioner and it was great. Lovin my hair today.

ok i just cowashed with my moist condition 24/7. my hair feels so soft!! I then applied my infusium 23 moisture leave in followed by my hydrosoft spritz humectant.
my hair is now pinned up and airdrying. later on tonight ill moisturize with some wbc and seal with avacoco oil. ill pin it back up, wrap it in a scarf and do this all over again tomorrow.
hopefully after a week or so of doing this consistantly ill notice some change in my hairs condition. it gets so dry so quick!​

 

[Eisani]

I answered a question and didn't even post what I did this a.m. I used HE LTR cond and leave-in then left down to air dry. I used to like this stuff, but I'm not digging it anymore...although it gave me good slip when it was time to rinse, won't be repurchasing. I don't think I like the way my hair dries after using.

I think if you are consistant you'll notice a change. Try to leave the Mc 24/7 in a little longer and follow up with Shikakai Oil.

Yesterday, I tried the Mc24/7 and left it in for about an hour. I rinsed and applied Shiakaki Oil and let it dry in about 5 plaits. I had softness all day today. I only use WBC on my ends for now. You can skip the hydrosoft if you want to. I use hydrosoft to detangle sometimes and if my hair needs some extra moisture.

I cowashed last night with Mane n Tail Original conditioner. Used some as a leave in as well. I'm considering cutting back on my cowashes from 3 to 2x/week. My NG and previously texlaxed hair are becoming a little challenging and I want to reduce my manipulation.

 

[charmtreese]

I've been co-washing and bunning daily and my hair (mainly NG where I twist my bun) stays damp until I co-wash again. Does anyone else's hair do this!

Mine would be damp until the next day also, but I usually take my bun out when I get home at night and it ends up air drying before I go to bed.
