Must go to Walgreens. Can't beat 45 cents! FYI--CVS has V05 for 69 cents this week. Went to Whole Foods today and replenished my AO WC. Unfortunately had to pay full price because my local Vitamin Shoppe stopped carrying it.

Really nice! Love those curls!:yep:
 
After taking my hair out for a spin over the holiday, I am back to my usual cowashing routine.

Last night I did a scalp message using Bee Mine Serum, moisturized with Bee Mine Juicy and sealed with WGO.

This morning, I cowashed with Aubrey Organics White Camellia conditioner ( I luv it), spritzed my hair with Aphogee Green Tea & keratin, a little aloe vera juice, used a little more AO WC as a leave-in, sealed with grapeseed oil and bunned my hair.
 
Cowashed this morning with Jason Naturals Biotin Conditioner. My newly texlaxed hair really liked this conditioner this morning but after a henna treatment, it is horrible - go figure!
 
I would like to join. I am already cowashing at least once a week as is and I want to continue it.

How many times per week will you cowash?
1x/wk

What conditioners are you planning to use?
V05 Moisture Milks (for the cleansing part) along with Jane Carter

What do you hope to achieve by cowashing?
hair growth, retaining hair

How often (if ever) will you use shampoo?
I shampoo 1x/wk with Jane Carter sulfate-free shampoo

I will post a starting pic later this week when I do my shampoo wash mid-week, I already did my co-washing for the week this morning with V05 Moisture Milk Passion Fruit.
 
Cowashed last night with hh hello hydration after prepooing with coconut oil and my hair feels great...i may be able to kick poo to the curb...

I am really tempted to try it. So, QVC has a better deal on Wen than the website? How do you use it?
Click to expand...

I think so. Check out the qvc website. I usually wait for a special qvc/ wen promotion. I'll check out the website to see what they have and priced. I cowash with Wen and use it as a leave-in. There are lots of Wen ladies on the board.

1. How many times per week will you cowash?
I will cowash once a week, in the middle of the week sometimes.

2. What conditioners are you planning to use?
Whatever is on hand at the time.

3. What do you hope to achieve by cowashing?
Moisture, length, and thickness.

4. How often (if ever) will you use shampoo?
Once a week.
