You need to clarify your hair if it feels waxy or shampoo to remove any buildup. It seems to be the case here especially if you have been co-washing every single day.

yea but it only feels this way with the honey wash. each time i used it it did that and i normally shampoo once a week but this stuff leaves a coat on my hair.

In CASE you find a new man, Shay? :lachen: anyway, do what u need to do girlie. How are you styling for your edges to be rough when u don't cw?

I'm bunning everyday. I swear I am losing my mind stretching longer than 4 months. I've been thinking my hair is falling out and that my edges are getting thinner. Not true. Same thing goes for my edges laying down. I just saw a picture of myself in which I thought my edges were a mess and in reality they weren't. A few months back I saw a picture where you could really see the texture of my hair and I couldn't believe it. I think it all has to do with me not being able to picture myself with long & healthy hair. All that to say please ignore my crazy a$$ :lachen:!
 
Cowashed today with TreSemme Moisturizing Condish and sealed with Castor Oil. I think I like Suave Humectant more than TreSemme now.:ohwell:
 
cannot WAIT to cowash tomorrow morning with hello hydration. i've missed my poofy hair these past three days.
 
I'm sorry I did not see the challenge, but I have been co-washing since May 11 every other day with a protein cond and a moisturizing cond and bunning. I plan to hot oil and wash every 2 weeks with a clarifying poo and deep cond. My challenge was to not buy any new products:rolleyes: but to use all the stuff I already have in my pj cabinet.
can I still join?:look:

deep conditioned today on dry hair with kbb ll hair mask and then co washed with a mix of AO GPB and trader joes nourish spa. protein seems to make my curls pop all over the place. then i moisturized with kbb hair milk and hair cream and sealed it all in with cocasta oil(which i think is trying to win my love all over again).

You can definitely still join. Welcome lady!

I cowashed with my Aussie Moist today and used my Cantu Shea Butter Leave In and castor oil. My hair is very soft right now.
 
cowashed with AM, it has truly taken over, I never pick up my Suave Humectant. Except for doing my DD's hair, which soaks up EVERYTHING I put into it....
 
Cowashed yesterday in braids with Mane N' Tail since I got the BOGO at Sally's. My hair felt good afterward, have to see what it feels like when my hair is out.
 
just stocked up on herbal essences breaks over and hello hydration. i alternate between the two every day.
 
I co-washed with Healthy Sexy Hair Soymilk Conditioner and then deep conditioned with Nature Gate's Hemp Conditioner.
 
CW + DC on dry hair with heat, yesterday with a mix of Lekair Cholesterol & lil bit of EQP DPR-11 mixed with 1 Tbsp of Ayurvedic herbs. GREAT RESULTS. May end up DC with heat daily for 10 minutes before CW.
 
I did a dc and cowash with my new love, Prosys Conditioner, it feels soft and pretty, I sprayed my hair with my John Frieda leave-in, sealed with olive oil and whipped ends from hairveda, very nice.
 
co washed with vo5 blackberry sage for the first time and i like it. its very thin but its good.
 
Cowashed yesterday and today w/V05 Honeydew Smoothie. I LOVE this one for my WnG's and while it's from the Moisture Milks line like Strawberries and Cream, I actually like this one better :yep: I always get great curl definition and super soft hair.
 
I'm about to go cowash with Suave tropical coconut mixed with tea tree oil. It always makes my hair feel ultra-yummy!
 
I cowashed my extension braids today with v05 Split Ends conditioner. It smells awesome:lick:.
 
I cw'd twice last week. Saturday I washed and did a spiral set so I will probably wear the curls at least through Thursday (I pin them up loosely so it's semi-protective). I'll cw Thursday night then wash and dc on Saturday.

I had fallen back into a bun rut and I couldn't take another day looking like a boy. :wallbash: Even makeup and earrings didn't help. :nono:

Honey, I highly doubt you'd ever look like a boy, even if you shaved - you'e way toooo pretty and feminine! Me on the other hand..... :lachen::lachen::lachen:

I'm washing my extension braids today with MT fot strength then I'll try and work out how to DC in braids. Either way, I'll wash with MT and follow with something else - HE HH or Ausie Moist or AO HSR or a mixture of stuff. I'm loving saturating all of my hair incl the hair pieces in coconut oil - my hair seems to be responding well to this... maybe an oil rinse.....

I TOTALLY understand what you're saying!
I get the same way and don't even want to be in pictures sometimes while wearing my "boy bun". Some folks don't understand :laugh: ...
 
On Saturday, I DC'd on dry hair with phyto intense nutrition mask... I went to a stylist to get my hair done for my sister's wedding - Hair was washed, and rollerset but I allowed her press my edges (she's a good stylist and has pressed my roots in the past), and I told her she could use the ceramic iron to smooth out some sections ONLY my relaxed hair...I loved my hair on that day - it was beautiful...

Today, I pre-poo'd with Aussie Moist (1st time trying, one of my many purchases from my visit to the States) and EVOO for 3 hours, rinsed out, applied Aphogee 2 min reconstructor and covered with shower cap for a few minutes. cowashed out with Suave Humectant. Leave in - Giovannie Direct.

Airdrying now...
