Cowashed with a mix of Desert Essence Green Apple Ginger and Red Raspberry. They smell good but that's about it. I won't be repurchasing these.
 
hi ladies!

so far so good! i've been co washing from 2-6 times a week.

i'm also doing oil rinses between my co washes. (co wash, oil rinse, co wash)

i find this is helping my ng alot! (i'm 13 weeks post and stretching to 16)

also helping the ng issue is the fact that i'm only combing/detangling once every 2 weeks.

hhj!
 
I'm going to unofficially join this challenge, I really dont mind not being on the list
Maybe its better this way so when if I fall short I won't feel as bad/ guilty :)

My Co washes are
Tresemme silky and smooth
Tresemme Naturals
Tresemme moisture rich
HE Break's over
HE Long Term relationship
I'll throw in my heavier conditioners if necessary

Today DC with HE break's over, which I think they are secretly discontinuing. It was ok, I got amazing shine, which may be from the coconut extracts in it or my avocado oil. Wasn't as impressed as I usually am with my Tresemme conditioners.

Grow, are you cowashing your hair in the shower or sink?

hi Guudhair, i'm only cowashing oil rinsing in the shower.

although, i use the sink when i perm every few months.
lately i've been thinking of doing even the washout of the perm in the shower, just to keep my hair in one direction and thus, cut down on possible tangling from when i bend back up&comb it back post perm.

where do you cowash yours?
 
I cowashed with Millcreek Keratin this morning. I've added pumps to my conditioners it really helps me with ease of use.
 
Yes I am a conditioner junkie. I saw a thread this weekend about a sale on Yes to carrots at Walgreens. While I didn't find that sale, I ran up on another sale, .79 V05, so I racked up on a few bottles. I've been wanting to try out Tresseme conditioners, so I picked up a bottle of the Moisture conditioner.

I cowashed today using the Tresseme, instead of my usual AM. It was cool, I actually couldn't tell a big difference between it and the AM, so I'd say it's one for me to keep on standby.
 
May I join this challenge please? I deep cowashed this morning in the shower with Joico Silk Results Conditioner. I think because it's nearing summer, and it's getting real hot now, it's time to start my cowashing again.

I don't know I'll do this more than twice a week though. I think twice a week is enough ladies:grin:.

ITA: (For Me).:yep:

I started out twice a week when the first Challenge began (to put using up alot of my products on the fast track), but I may even eventually retreat back to once a week.:yep: But decided this week to just do my regular co-wash (Hair) day of Saturday.

For Me. I cannot afford right now to over manipulate my Strands.:ohwell:

I may change my mind as the weather gets hotter and go back to twice a week. Not sure.:perplexed

Girl T, my hair is always all braided up whenever I wash it now. Remember I'm stretching my relaxer so I can't afford to try combing this baby more than once every 10-14 days:nono:. I am very careful not to manipulate too much.

ETA: Oh and by the way, I joined this challenge to try and use up some of my conditioners as well. I had taken a long break away from them and now it's time to use them up again.

Aggie you can join unofficially since I will not be adding anyone else to the list.
 
I Co-Wash today. My hair has been super dry no matter how much moisture I use. So I decided to Co-Wash today and did my final rinse with super cold water. Hopefully this will help
 
I Conditioned washed/Deep conditioned with Pantene Relaxed & Natural deep conditioner & Joico Intense hydrator kpak conditioner.
 
So I just colored my hair with a demi-perm, ion color brilliance intensive shine, in prep for this sew-in i will self install later this week. has anyone successfully cowashed without stripping their color? last time i had ANY kind of color, i did not cowash, so idk if it is just shampoo or water in general that makes your color fade.

I agree Ms. Shay! At first I kinda liked Desert Essence Green Apple Ginger, but realized it was the excitement of using a new product. I won't be repurchasing this one either.
 
Cowashed with Desert Essence Red Italian grape. Trying to use it up. Hopefully it will be done by next week.
 
I'm still cowashing but it's gotten insanely sporadic :drunk:. Sometimes I cowash first thing in the morning, or in the early afternoon, or in the middle of the day, or at night. Sometimes I'll cowash for a few days back to back and other times I skip days inbetween. It's all because I don't know what to do with my hair, so I'll go through 2 or 3 hair styles a day :spinning:. I seem to always come back to cowashing in the end though :rolleyes:. I need to get my cowashing in now because I'm going to be getting my first blowout Tuesday and I don't plan to wash or comb my hair for the following week or two.
 
Co washed last night using a sample of Crabtree & Evelyn La Source Hair Conditioner. It was ok. I have two more samples that I might use to make a henna or cassia gloss. I will be using the Desert Essence Green Apple Ginger until it's gone. I think I'm going to make Tuesday nights co-wash night and continue to do henna/cassia/amla glosses on Saturday nights.

Since I started this challenge, it seems as if my hair is getting thicker, and the hair on the nape of my neck is getting longer! Yeah for cowashing!!!!!!
 
Hadn't cowashed since Wednesday because I just didn't feel like it. Had hair day today, so I pre-pood, cowashed, deep conditioned, and bunned.
