I CoWashed this past wednesday with my V05 Moisture Milk Condioner, I had mixed it with three TBS of honey, and jojoba oil , I let sit for 3 hours then washed out.​
 
Cowashed last night. Trying to use up some of my conditioners that are half empty. Worked on the Suave Biobasics mixed with tea tree oil last night.
 
I've been rotating different condish with each cowash (V05, Aussie Moist, & Yes to Carrots). Wednesday I used V05 Blackberry & Sage and today I used Aussie Moist. My hair is a lot more managable with the frequent cowashing can't wait for the summer to get here so I can cowash more often.
I tried the cherry lola treatment and it came out okay left my hair a little stiff but the Aussie took care of that.
 
Had MT and ayurveda oil under plastic and rubber overnight. Co-washing with my HE and Pantene infused with henna mix and DCing with AO HSR. Yum!
 
KK, just got done cowashing I used HE hello hydration this time. I didn't like it the first time I used it, but it turned out really well this time.
 
my hair had a great day today!
*DC'd with aphogee 2 min, grapeseed oil and GVP conditioning balm for 45 min
*ACV rinse
*cowashed with aussie moist
*sprayed on diluted giovanni direct and GVP leave-in
*half rollerset (got lazy) and fat twists at the top, sat under dryer for 45 min
*added chi silk infusion and coconut oil before flat ironing with my solia

i did all this so i could do a length check (pic in avi); tomorrow makes 10 months post BC...and just like i thought, i'm finally APL! yaaaaayyyy
 
Claryified and Shampooed and DC with ORS mixed with yogurt and olive oil. Luxe leave-in w/ avococo butter and sealed with shikaki oil.

It smells great but it is very thin.............I just use it as a leave in or in a DC mix. I was suprised that it wasn't like the moisture milks.
 
I cowashed yesterday with V05 Passion Fruit Smoothie mixed with coconut oil and ayurvedic powders.
 
I cowashed Sunday and today with V05 Moisture Milks Passion Fruit and Suave Humectant...Hair appt on Friday so I'm just airdrying today.
 
I cowashed 3-4 times last week and for the 1st time, I didn't DC after (for 2 of the cowashes)!

I always thought I needed to DC after cowashing but now know I don't have to ALL the time. I have officially increased my cowashes to 3 times a week, one more than my usual 2 times a week.

Schedule
1. Cowash on Tuesday, DC
2. Cowash on Thursday, no DC
3. Cowash on Saturday/Sunday, DC

Shampoo wash every other week.

Cowash cons - HE Hello Hydration or HH It's a Curl Thing or Suave Humectant (Also going to use my nexxus humectress as a cowash con until it's finished, I won't repurchase) or Aphogee 2 min (for protein cowash)

DC con - ORS Replenishing Conditioner mixed with Coconut Oil, Peppermint Oil.

Leave In- Giovanni Direct Leave-In (Just tried it for the fast time on Sunday, I love it!) or Nexxuss headdress/Coconut Oil or EVOO mix (Once the headdress is finished, I'm not repurchasing).

OT....I sat under the dryer with my 1st twist out on Thursday and I am in love, so I hope it helps your last longer...My braid outs lasted a day or so then I'd have to bun or do them over, but I'm still rocking the same twist out from Thursday and the only reason I'm redoing them over tomorrow is because it's Easter and I have to go to dinner with all of the family...

I did it and it turned out nice! My bff took some pics of my hair-er, I mean of me-that Saturday and I'll post as soon as she sends them to me. It still only lasted 2 1/2 days lol. Oh well, I'm rocking a 2nd day WnG right now, looking like Chaka by the head lol.
 
I didn't officially sign up, but I want to join this challenge. :)

I'm going to start my co-washing routine tonight with Suave Tropical Coconut Moisturizing Conditioner.

Aggie where do you get that CON Reconstructor?

I'm bout to cowash with a mix of ayurvedic powders, coconut oil, and Nutrine Garlic Condish.
 
Been slacking on my posts - CW'd yesterday with Aussie Moist, afterwards used Rusk Smoother Leave-In and then sealed with HairVeda CoCasta. Hair is feeling soft and looking good.

Believe it or not, I found a 32oz bottle in a store here in the Bahamas and I can't find it anymore. Still looking though.
 
So, I've been cowashing daily for the past couple of weeks, and my hair loves this! I'm almost 17 weeks post relaxer, and my new growth is so soft and manageable, and I definitely credit that to cowashing, without a doubt. I've been using Aussie Moist the majority of the time, and my hair is loving it. I'll be DCing with a light protein tomorrow so as to strengthen my hair from all this moisture.
 
i pre poo'd this morning with ORS mayo and then co washed with HE totally twisted. then i used devacurl one condition as a leave in.
 
Last night, I DC'd on dry hair (ORS Replenishing Con/Coconut Oil/Peppermint Oil mix), rinsed out with HE 'It's a curl thing' and leave-in was Nexxuss Headdress mixed with Coconut Oil.

My next cowash will be on Thursday.
