i cowash all the time anyways so you can add me

i'll cowash atleast 3x a week, using whatever i have on hand, but my current fave is tresseme naturals...i like aussie moist too...i hope to maintain moisture by cowashing which will help me retain length...i'll use a sulfate free poo either 1x a week or 1x every 2 weeks

 

[MzPrince]

I'm in, I'm a cowasher too, about 2x weekly.

I just need to retain moisture to my hair. My current con I use is Wen....... I probably won't use any shampoo but if I do it will be once a month.

 

[sensi sweetie]

Count me in!

What conditioners are you planning to use? whatever is cone free and at my disposal (will be more specific with what exactly I have been using once I start checking in)
What do you hope to achieve by cowashing? clean hair thats not bone dry
How often (if ever) will you use shampoo? once a week (coney serum is my vice)

 

[Meritamen]

I'm going. I thought at first I wouldn't be cowashing much but it turns out my hair really needs the moisture boost.
How many times per week will you cowash? At least 1x a week. Right now I'm cowashing every other day to combat the extreme dryness from the winter weather.
What conditioners are you planning to use? Suave Tropical Coconut. I'm cheap and it's great for cowashing. Aussie Moist is great too but I need to restock on that one.
What do you hope to achieve by cowashing? I hope it helps me retain length by keeping my hair moisturized.
How often (if ever) will you use shampoo? Right now I'm laying off the shampoo but usually I shampoo every 7 to 14 days.
