i cowashed yesturday with a ors replenishing pack i had... wet my hair apply it put a shower caap then took my shower... when i rinsed i was like WOAH!!! softness all over... i need to get me more of those!!!
 
This is from memory...
Saturday: CW'd with Giovanni Smooth as Silk
Sunday: Giovanni Tea Tree
Monday: Giovanni 50:50
Tues: Giovanni Tea Tree
Wednesday: Giovanni Smooth as Silk

That sounds about right
Each time I airdried in a bun with a mix of JBCO and bhringraj oil on the hair
 
cowashed with breaks over this morning. last night when i took my hair down it was sooo soft. the mix of ltr and garnier leave ins will definitely become a staple.
 
cowashed with aussie moist, sealed with africa's best herbal and wet bunned. one more day of finals, then my undergrad journey is OVER
 
i co washed today after deep conditioning with sitrinilla conditioner with my trusty trader joes nourish spa.
 
Generously applied Aphogee 2 minute reconstructor to dry hair, jumped into the shower.. a couple of minutes later, rinsed out. Cowashed with HE 'It's a Curl Thing' ('Totally Twisted' in the US) and used Nexxuss Headdress and Coconut Oil as leave in. Airdried in a ponytail and scarf for 30 minutes and let down to dry completely.

My hair is LOVING cowashing 3 times a week :-) In a few weeks, I'm going up to 4 cowashes a week.

Cowashed w/ Motions CPR this morn for a protein boost. Used alil lustrasilk cholesterol as a leavein and did a ponytail. My hair feels poofy. :perplexed:
 
cowashed with Giovanni Tea Tree
Applied Silk Elements Silken Child Silk Moisturizing Creme to length and bunned
 
I DCed on dry hair with Aubrey Organics HSR, and cowashed with Herbal Essences Hydralicious. Boy, I'm experiencing some heavy duty shedding with this transition, but detangling is a breeze. I wet bunned as well after applying some Cantu Leave In, some coconut oil, and some Fantasia IC gel on my edges.
 
I have noticed a little more shedding too... and detangling is unbelievably easy with cowashing! I love cowashing :-)

I prefer shedding to breakage anytime though..

I love cowashing too. It's making my life right now so much easier than it would've otherwise been. I may try a garlic treatment to see if my shedding will stop. You're right....at least it's not breakage though.
 
Please let me know how that works for you...

OT--Ladies I am loving the new growth/texture shots. Very pretty hair :yep:!
 
Deep co-washing with HEHH that I had in my hair overnight with ayurveda oil (array of powders, coconut and castor oil).
 
Ladies experiencing more shedding: we know it's part of transitioning, but also make sure your moisture and protein is balanced. If you try the garlic con and your still having quite a bit of shedding, try adding a light-med protein to your cowash and/or dc routine. Then again, it could just be your time of year to shed. Keep us updated! :up:

Thanks so much girl. Cowashing has really been helping with this transition so far. I'm noticing a texture in my hair I never knew I had.

Thanks for this advice Eisani. I was thinking that if I added a light protein into the mix it may help. I'm going to definitely take this advice. Since I cowash almost daily, I'll throw in a light protein conditioner. I'll report back. Thanks again girl!
 
Thanks for this... I have noticed shedding but it's not enough to scare me yet but i will definitely bear this in mind.
I cowash with Aphogee 2 min reconstructor once every 2 weeks and my leave ins are light proteins.
Thanks again.

Y'all are welcome :) I definitely can relate.

Cowashing today w/EMB and putting in two plaits. It's crunch time with the packing and moving so I can't have my hair in the way! That style should keep me for a couple days.
 
Cowashed today using Aussie Moist...I'm gonna say it again, I'm in love with this conditioner. Under the bonnet dryer now drying twist for a twist out in the morning.
 
Oh yes ma'am I am sooo in! My hair loved co-washing last summer. Now that I've got my staples down I'm totally game.
