pre co washed with jasmines coconut masque conditioner and then co washed with totally twisted. not sure how i feel about the coconut mask. it was kind of sticky when trying to rinse it out.
 
checking in. i introduced my little brother to cowashing; he has grown his hair out into a mini-fro a few times in the past, but now all of a sudden wants to wear his hair curly a la travis from gym class heroes:

he was washing his hair every night, but instead of using conditioner, he had some t-gel shampoo/conditioner combo thing and wondering why his hair was so dag-on dry. my 14 y/o sister had to help me put him on to suave and VO5. :lachen:
 
Prepoo'd overnight with coconut oil, applied Phyto specific intense nutrition mask to dry hair this morning, worked out for just over an hour with it in... cowashed out with HE HH. Leave in - Giovanni Direct.
Will try a twistout for the 1st time today...
 
I just wanted to put this to the front. I have to keep looking for this thread.
did you subscribe to it?

DCW'd last night with kenra mc + grapeseed oil (added aussie moist after rinsing), then rollerset and flat ironed my roots in prep for my 1 year post BC pics. then i realized my digicam is broken :lachen:at least my hair is flyy today!
 
pre co washed with vatika frosting for an hour and then co washed with aussie moist condiitoner and i am in love. i dont know what took me so long to try this stuff. it is amaing.
 
Cowashed with Suave Humectant. When I started my hair care journey I jumped on the SH bandwagon quick. I was disappointed. It was just ok.

I realized today that this is not the case. It was more than just ok. My hair is moisturized and soft. Air drying in a loose high bun.

I have got to whip this one out my stash for frequent uses now.
 
I co-washed today with Mane N' Tail Moisturizing & Texturizing Conditioner. Then I deep conditioned with the Regis Olive oil Conditioner with Honey with Sesame Oil.
 
AO GPB on dry hair for 30 minutes, rinsed out and co-washed with Aussie Moist. Air drying in a single plait after applying Rusk Smoother and Lacio Lacio Leave-Ins. Hair is tied down with a satin scarf. I have been shedding like nobody's business for the past couple of days (my temples are coming out in clumps :nono:) and I attribute this to switching up my last relaxer with Optimum Bodifying Relaxer (mild) :wallbash::wallbash:...............I usually use Optimum Anti-Breakage (regular) and will definitely be going back to that!!!!!!!........I hope I don't have too much of a setback cause I'm aiming for MBL by December :perplexed

Now I have to go look for my garlic pills and break out the lipton tea bags (for tea rinses)
 
Cowashed yesterday with V05 Free Me Fresia and Passionfruit Smoothie mixed together peppermint EO, castor oil, and EVOO. It looked pretty ugly in the bottle but boy was my 3day old braid out easy to detangle :grin:. I'm back in flat twist and braids until I do a braid out for a reception.
 
Did my first ever DCW with Sitrinillah. My hair loved it. I plan to do another 6 month stretch after I complete this one and I will definitely incorporate this once I get deeper in the stretch.
 
deep conditioned overnight with oyin HH conditioner mixed with vatika frosting. my hair was tooooooo soft today so i did a five minute treatment with joico deep penetraiting reconstructor and then used aussie moist as a leave in with vatika to seal. my hair feels great now.

but i will say the joico didnt make my hair feel as strong as it used to. maybe i didnt leave it on long enough.
 
Cowashing with Motions Oil Moisturizer to rid myself of it. I am shampooing directly after then doing a DC with the last pf my Pantene R&N.

This challenge has me using up all the conditioners in my stash. Love it!
 
I'm still keeping up w/ the challenge. I have been going to the gym 5 days a week, so I cowash 3-4 times a week, and I d/c (on the same day as a cowash) about 2x a week. I'm using all sorts of products, but I make sure that I do a protein of some sort at least once a week to avoid weak, mushy hair. I swear by HE LTR leave-in (thanks Traycee), and I rub some NTM Triple Moisture silk-touch leave-in (thanks Sylver2) through my hair once it has dried.
 
I feel like such a boring person, all of my posts are the same "cowashed using AM, airdried in ponytail"...so I decided to mix it up today...

DC'd on dry hair with yes to carrots, Cowashed using AM, and dun da dun.......instead of airdrying in a ponytail, I'm using the scarf method!

Woohoo I sure know how to live it up don't I, LOL......

I'm actually going to try something different with my twist out, instead of doing it on wet hair I'm going to try it on 80-85% dry hair. Taken from Mummysgirl, it seems like it would cut down on my drying time, so why not try it out and see....
 
Cowashed twice today already :ohwell: Helmet hair is NOT a good look! 1st cw was w/V05 Lavender, 2nd cowash was w/ORS Replenishing (old formula).
 
Dc'd this morning with AOHSR mixed with a little EVCO, rinsed and co-washed with Aussie Moist. Air drying in two plaits after detangling with Rusk Smoother, Lacio-Lacio and John Frieda Frizz Ease Serum. Once dried I will apply NTM Silk Creme and EVCO. My ends are sealed right now with JBCO.
