DC'd on dry hair with Phyto Intense Nutrition Mask (using it up, had since last year and forgot about it), 40 minutes later I applied ORS Replenishing Con mix without rinsing out the Phyto. Left in for 30 minutes.

Cowashed out the DCs with HE Totally Twisted, leave in - Giovanni Direct Leave In. I'm airdrying right now, my hair is ridiculously soft... I am amazed. I haven't done a Shampoo Wash in about 3 weeks and my hair doesn't feel weird at all! I'm tempted to keep cowashing (3 times a week at the moment) until I henna gloss next Saturday... I'll see.

Girl I feel the same way. My hair is so soft. I'm amazed as well. Never knew my hair could feel so soft.


I cowashed with Aphogee 2 Minute and no shedding! I'm pleased with that. So I'll definitely have to incorporate a little more protein into my cowashing schedule. Airdrying now in a bun.
 
Good news! :yep:

deep conditioned overnight last night with asian tea conditioner and then co washed today with HE HH.
 
cowashed today with garnier. probably dcing overnight or all tomorrow morning with... whatever i buy from sally's.
 
Cowashed today with V05 Passion Fruit Smoothie. I'm on a use this ish up campaign with my V05 condishes. They are too thin. I have 7 bottles including the one I'm using now so it may be a minute. Then I will move onto Suave and the other condishes I don't have to have. I have all spring & summer so I hope to make a dent.

ETA: I made my tea rinse the night before and that worked. I remembered that because I just woke up and I need to make my tea rinse before I go back to sleep. That way I will be good to go in the morning.

Did a methi tea rinse and cowashed with AOGPB. Hair feels like butta baby! I tell you I can not keep my hand out of my hair with all of this cowashing.
 
Deep conditioning now for an 1 with Lanza healing moisture conditioner & healing strength conditioner w/protein boosters and will use a quick rinse out conditioner when I am done.
 
quick dc with gvp conditioning balm, then followed with aphogee 2 minute. mixed ltr leave in and garnier sleek and shine leave in and bunned. soft, but strong hair.
 
co washed today with hello hydration and devacurl one condition mixed with avocado oil, castor oil, evoo and honey. i also used that mix as a leave in and so far my hair is soft as cotton.
 
Cowashed this afternoon with MT mixed with GVP k-pak conditioner. I had added some essential oils to the MT and mannnnn, my scalp was tingling in a really good way. Will be doing that again for sure:yep:.
 
I just co-washed after an intensive workout with a mixture of my Nature's Gate Aloe Vera Conditioner & Jason's Natural Supermoisturizing Hemp Conditioner. Then I dced with Nature's Gate Jojoba Conditioner. As you can see I love nature's gate product line.
 
Applied Organix Coconut Milk Conditioner (another con I am trying to use up, I'm not too sure I'll repurchase) to my dry hair, left in for an hour. Cowashed out with HE HH. Leave In - Giovanni Direct.

Yet another benefit of cowashing - Moisturised Ends!!! Sometimes when I shampoo washed in the past, my ends felt dry after my hair had air dried. Dry compared to the rest of my hair... :wallbash: I almost always HAD to baggy overnight for my ends to get moisturised. But now, my ends and the rest of my hair are ALL moisturised and my ends feel soft too :-) I can't even remember the last time I baggied.

Excessive use of shampoos must have been doing my hair more harm than good. I used to shampoo wash twice a week and the only time my ends dried nicely were if I did a braidout or a rollerset.

I :heart2: cowashing and it feels like it's gonna make my transition easier than I ever expected :crossfingers:

Sorry ladies, I will have to bow out of this challenge. Earlier I posted that I had a sprained shoulder. Well, my neck has been in constant pain since 4/17. After two ER visits, two doctor's visits, and physical therapy - still no relief. I had an MRI yesterday and I found out today that I have a severe herniated disc in my neck, it is pressing on my spinal cord and I will need surgery. I have an appointment with the neuro-surgeon next Friday.

All I have been able to do with my hair is mist with water and conditioner and put in a messy bun.

Good luck ladies!!!

This was my staple when I first started cowashing, I LOVE IT as well, but then my beloved Aussie Moist came into my life. SH is still in rotation and I will continue to purchase just b/c I think its a great con..
 
baggied last night for the first time, i think i like it! i'm on my way to bikram yoga and after i'll cowash with hello hydration.
 
DC'd on dry hair with Phyto Intense Nutrition Mask & Coconut Oil - stayed in the sauna with this for 15 minutes. Cowashed out with HH HE. Leave in - giovanni direct.
 
I've been ignoring this conditioner, it's in my cowash rotation but I haven't used it in 2 weeks - I'm so in love with HE Totally Twisted and Hello Hydration. I forgot about Suave Humectant(it's sooo good too!) I'll use it next cowash.
