4 Month Co-Washing Challenge!

[DivaD04]

i've cow yesterday w/ thermasilk moisture and dc'd w/ elvive antibreakage, cmp, spp, and avg mix. i'm not going to cow today tho b/c i'm putting braids back in (very small so i won't disturb them will i cow everyday). btw i love the cow'es way better than poo'n daily, my scalp isn't so dry and itchy.

 

[aloof one]

ive lasted a week so far, I guess I'm in. When I cowash use a clarifying conditioner then coat my hair in another conditioner and leave it in...

I have a question... is it safe to walk around with your hair wet all day... everyday though?

I'll definitely shampoo on my birthday though since I'll probably be flatironing for that Only turn 21 once, and I don't wanna be a HAM.

I'm almost doing this. I'm averaging 2 co-washes a week. Woke up mad early this morning to do another one so I could rollerset my hair...under the dryer as we speak. Hopefully I won't be late for work...LOL

 

[MzPrince]

I just start cowashing on Monday for the first time so I guess I'm in. I want to go through out Sept. My goal is to achieve thickness moreso than length.

I wouldn't see why not, like a plant hair likes water. I know there are ladies who like to add eo's, glycerin, and other goodies to their water if not alone. Distilled water is suppose to be really good and we all know for a little of nothing we all can find chump change, in between the couches, in the car, thrown in the drawers whereever will pay for that helpful gallon...ooo especially at wal-mart

I love co-washing!

On Saturday I:

• co-washed with HE LTR conditioner
• applied Lacio Lacio leave-in, UBH dew moisturizer, sealed with coconut oil
• Rollerset with diluted Lottabody setting lotion
• sat under dryer for 40 minutes

What lesson I learned: always deep condition before rollersetting.


This morning I co-washed with HE LTR conditioner, applied small amount of HE LTR leave-in, UBH dew moisturizer, sealed with coconut oil and airdried. I'm wearing a bun.

CW'd today with mega tek cream rinse.

 

[Rapunzel2B]

I am joining. I CW every 3 days and rinse daily. I have to rinse because after I work out my hair is soaked with sweat. I DC on dry hair every 3 days and CW after. I detangle under running water to remove shed hair. I add leave in co, moisturizer and seal with oil and pin up to air dry and tie with silk scarf. My hair loves it! I am 8 weeks and 2 days post and hoping to stretch for 14 weeks.

 

[tapioca_pudding]

Yeesh, I have been forgetting to sign in!!!

Last nite I co-washed w/ V05 Strawberries & Champagne. I found this way in the back of my sink and decided to give it a shot. I forgot how much I LOVE THIS CONDITIONER!! Gotta restock a couple bottles.

Sunday I co-washed w/ HE LTR conditioner.

 

[betteron2day]

Last night i cowashed with VO5 Champagne Kisses and applied avocado butter and my hair has a beautiful sheen and it feels great. Co washing is helping me stretch my relaxer. i am on week 12.

 

[Crystalicequeen123]

Sounds good to me!

I just co-washed last night, so count me in!

I can only commit to maybe 2x a week co-washing because my schedule is terribly busy! So, I'll try to co-wash on Tuesday nights, and Sat/Sunday nights. I think I'll shampoo once a week, or maybe even once every 2 weeks since I'll be co-washing more. I'll see if my hair sees some remarkable improvements in the thickness and length departments.

I think when I first joined LHCF, my hair was growing like a weed because I was practically co-washing and shampooing my hair every 3/4 days! My schedule's way too hectic to do that now...

I havent co washed this week i just relaxed yesterday, when is the next time I can wash????

Last time I relaxed, I went right back to my regimen and co washed the next day. This relaxer, I washed two days after. Whenever you wanna wash, go on ahead and wash

 

[MissMusic]

I'm in! I currently wash everyday, so I'll continue. Wooooo conditioner junkies!

 

[BillyJay]

Since it's getting warmer, I know a lot of us will start washing/co-washing more. So I figured I'd start a challenge lasting through the summer months. The challenge will last from next Monday (May 5) till August 18, exactly 4 months. So get all of the conditioners you need and join the challenge!

*RULES*

The rules are simple: co-wash at least 3 times a week and check in after each co-wash to keep yourself in check. If you know you have to check in, you'll be more likely to do it!

So who's with me? Come join me in the wonderfulness that is co-washing

If its not too late, I want to join. I have been co washing x3 days and my hair is thriving!

I alternate between protein and moisturizing. Sometimes I make a mixture of mayo, protein tea, oil, honey and condish for a cholesterol wash.

[Mrs. Verde]

Co-washed this morning with V05 (mixed in some red palm butter).

 

[cinnamin316]

I co-washed last night. I'm going to a concert tonight so i tried to style my hair cute but my hair was literally acting a fool with me and i ended up in my same old bun.

 

[Tarae]

Co-washed last night with HE Breaks Over

 

[Chanel's Tresses]

Co Washed this morning after the gym with HE Hello Hydration. My hair smells divine!

I'm still in lurk mode at this point because I've still got my co-washing training wheels on (only doing it once a week). But speaking of co-washing and relaxers, can you do it a couple days before getting one?
