Spring/Summer Cowash Challenge 2010

[ckisland]

Yesterday I shampooed/ clarified with Dr. Bronner's mixed with baking soda, and cowashed with SSI Avocado condish using the Honey Rinse as a leave-in. Because my hair was feeling so crappy, I decided to DC with heat using a conditioner mix and Organix Hair Mayonnaise. My hair dried and it feels awful!!! I need to get my moisture level back up after rollersetting, so I'm going to be cowashing and bunning daily for the next week. Hopefully my hair will have bounced back by then.

Going to workout late and corinse with Tresemme Naturals. Hope my Mozeke Avocado Cream is here by then, so I can test it out as a moisturizer.

I've tried a few new products and my hair has not been feeling right, it felt a little better after clarifying yesterday. But today I did a tea rinse, rinsed with V05 Champagne Kiss and cowashed with AM....My hair felt great afterward!

Hey lil sparkle, how do you like the HE HH as a leave in? I get alot of flakes. Do you think using an additional product like the curly pudding makes a difference?

Thanks!

i loooooove it as a leave-in; my hair feels very moisturized as opposed to when i use my other cheapie conditioners as a leave-in. i don't get flakes, maybe just a little film on my scalp if i do it too often, but i clarify every so often to get rid of that. i use the curly pudding and similar products mainly for hold.

speaking of which, i cowashed today for the first time with my suave rosemary mint after working on my car this morning and working up a sweat. i thought the mint would cool my scalp, and it did a bit, but mostly it just smelled good. it was a little thin for my taste, i guess because i have become accustomed to herbal essences. it sucks as a leave-in....took too much product to coat my ends, and now that my hair is dry it doesn't feel moisturized. guess i'll stick with what i know and continue using cantu shea butter or HE HH as a leave-in.

Corinsed with Suave Coconut today. My hair has been sooo soft and moisturized lately, I thought I would use something a little protein-y.

Love the siggy pic Diva Esq! Congrats on the BC!

Cowashed with Millcreek Keratin today. Decided today when I cowash with protein I will use a creamy leave in. I'm hoping it will help my hair dry a bit softer. Not like its rough or anything but I know I can do better.

I'm not adding anyone to the list but you are more than welcome to post.

ok

My hair has been feeling icky over the past few days... I dc'd dry with Humectress, wheat germ oil and coconut oil mix. Then I rinsed and co-washed with Suave Humectress. I needed all this moisture. Did Aphogee 2 min, then rinsed and put in my leave-ins. Feels better now.

 

[PrincessLinzz]

Co-washed with Hello Hydration, used Alter Ego garlic conditioner for 10 minutes and Roux Porosity Control!

 

[ingenious_mind]

Cowashed today with V05 tea therapy conditioner. Are any of you ladies noticing more growth from cowashing?

 

[ms.tatiana]

I have my weave in so.....

I washed & conditioned with my SoftSheen-Carson Weave Care shampoo and conditioner.

I need to know what oils to mix together to make a good deep conditioner for very dry hair because i'm about to take this weave done and put another one up. The man at the beauty supply sold me some back hair and i want it out now lol.

On friday, I clarified my hair with patene clarifying shampoo b/c I felt my hair was horrible last time I co-washed & dc'd w/ pc & elasta qp intense moisture con. Today I co-washed w/ elucence moisture benefits conditioner & did a quick dc w/ elasta qp intense moisture & my hair felt so soft. I think the reason the co-wash did not work last time is b/c I think I had product build-up. Saturday, I will be co-washing w/ giovanni sas & dcing w/ a lite protein.

 

[Day36]

[morehairplease]

cw this morning with Regis vivid satin conditioner.

 

[cch24]

Corinsed with Tresemme Naturals. I've got to find that hit/miss thread because this Mozeke Avocado Cream is a major HIT as a moisturizer over Knot Today for wet bunning.

 

[Nameless]

So when you co wash do you scrub your scalp with the conditioner? If so, wouldn't that make it itch?

I saturate my hair w/ water underneath the shower & scrub my scalp for a couple of minutes, then use conditioner to wash my hair not my scalp b/c it will cause me to itch like crazy.
