I definitely find that it's easier to use on the natural hair, but that line of demarcation is definitely tricky. I'd say that making sure you use it in sections is key during the transition. While natural, I think it'll be easier to use.

You definitely have to try to apply your conditioners like a relaxer. It helps so much to reach all of your hair...especially that line of demarcation.

i drenched my hair in vatika frosting and evoo and used my chagrin valley carrot milk and honey shampoo par and i loved it. i know thats not co washing but my hair felt like i co washed after using it. im in love. then i followed up with a 10 minute conditioning in shower treatment with a mix of nourish spa and yes to carrots mud conditioner. my hair felt like it was on cloud nine.
 
I actually did something different this week the Cherry Lola method and I can say that my hair was waaay easier to comb and even deal with dry. It was softer and smoother to the touch. I like this so much that I think I will be keeping this in my regimen with the regular cowashing.

The Beast was very happy! :yep:
 
so after cowashing yesterday with AM, I flexi rod set my hair....welll this morning the curls were a bit too much for me (have to get bigger rods b/c i love the flexi set) anyway, co washed again this morning with AM, used AM deeeeep for the first time and twisted for a twist out, going to the mountains this weekend, I had to do something that would keep while I was away....
 
Cowashing this a.m. but now sure what to use. I think I'll try a Hairveda 24/7 and HE TT combo to see if it's as good as the Elucence/HE TT combo. Sealing w/JBCO.

I need to be bunning, but I don't feel like it :ohwell:
 
Guilty conscience got the best of me. Cowashed w/24/7, used some as a leave in and bunned. Sealed w/JBCO & shea buttah.
 
I've been cw with White Rain naturals and am sooooooo in love with my hair! I put it on dry hair, do my hour on the treadmill and rinse. Last night, I did my hibiscus herbal hair pack first, then rinsed, and cw. I like it better on dry hair, i think!
 
Thanks Eisani and Nice Lady!!! I washed with some Tea Tree Shampoo and it feels a lot better, thanks!

I havent cowashed in a couple days cus I was running around getting ready for graduation but that is over with so i'm ready to be back at it!!!!

I am happy for you and that it worked. I myself also have to clarify today or tomorrow because I love to use a lot of product and every two-three weeks my hair needs it.
 
Last nite, I co-washed with Pure & Basic Cherry Almond Moisturizing Conditioner and deep conditioned with Nature Gate's Jojoba Conditioner.
 
I will be cowashing this henna from my hair with some Nutrine Garlic conditioner followed up up something by Suave today I think:look:.
 
On Friday, I mixed a little castille soap with Suave Humectant and washed my hair with it - THANKS Eisani! My scalp and hair felt and still feel so clean :-)
Henna glossed (henna, green tea, keracare dry & itchy con, evoo, honey) for 1.5 hours.
Cowashed out with HE HH.
DC'd with Keracare Humecto + EVOO. Leave In - Giovanni Direct.
Next morning, I cowashed with HE TT, leave in - giovanni direct and a little lustrasilk shea butter cholestrol. Moisturised with shea butter mix... was on the plane for TEN hours - forgot to take my scarf and moisturiser as hand luggage, checked them in - but my hair felt good after all those hours of neglect :-)

Still gonna try castille soap mixed with oils and water, maybe in 3 weeks.

I LOVE mixing my tea tree castile soap w/AOHR and washing my hair with it :cloud9: My hair is squeaky clean and moisturized at the same time, it's so light and fluffy afterward, the curls just pop!

Glad ur hair felt good Mummysgirl.

Cowashed this morning w/Shescentit Super Soft Honey Rinse. Jury still out on this one. Rinsed that and used HE TT as leave in then spritzed on Shescentit Moisture Mist leave in :lick: Sealed my WnG w/jbco :yep:
 
cleansed with bentonite clay this morning. (it was messy, i'll be sticking with shampoo from now on) cowashed it out with hello hydration and pantene relaxed and natural mask.
 
I've missed you ladies!!!! Just back from the mountains so I couldn't report in, I cowashed Sat morning with AM, and airdried in a bun.
 
Saturday morning I did a HOT with a combo of JBCO, EVCO and Amla. Co-wash with HE HH then dc'd with ORS replenishing pack mixed with honey and EVCO. Rollerset, dried, moisturized, seal and then bunned.
 
Eek!!! I just bought some cowash cons.

I'm in the U.S. (I live in the UK) on holiday right now... I just got back from Target and I bought:

3 big bottles of Suave Humectant (I already use this as a cowash con)
1 big bottle of Aussie Moist (never used this but read so many rave reviews)
2 bottles of HE Hydralicious cons (haven't tried them)

I don't have to buy HE cons because we have them in the UK, although was so tempted to pick some up (I had to keep reminding myself I have a totoal of 6 HE HH and HE TT back home in London, lol)

I'm not done yet... I still have a week left here so I'm sure I'm gonna buy more cowash cons... enough to last me till the end of the year!!!

LOL!

Hey exubah, did you ever check out the Rusk Sensories Smoothing leave in conditioner at Beauty Rama?
 
Cowashed with HE Breakage Defender ('Break's Over' in the US), applied generously to sections of hair, massaged in, let sit in hair while I showered. Detangled while rinsing out... Leave In - Nexxus Headdress.

I'll airdry to 80% dry, apply some lustrasilk shea butter cholestrol and do 5 cornrows overnight for a braidout.

P.S. 1st time trying 'Break's Over', I like it :-)
 
Just got back from a working vacation so I can finally post. I cowashed on Friday with Aussie Cleanse & Mend Condish then followed up with the 3 Minute Deeeep Condish for like 10minutes. I don't know if I really liked it all that much my hair felt a little dry after but I didn't have all my products either so I dont know. Then I cowashed last night with V05 Passion Fruit Smoothie mixed with Peppermint oil and EVOO airdried in 4 braids then added leave-in this morning and put in a cute protective style. I've been told I look very Afrocentric with my outfit and hair.:grin:
