So far been cowashing 2x a week with HE Totally Twisted. I've started getting ssk'sso I co washed the last 2 times in braids.I'm probably gonna keep my hair stretched as often as possible even though I love wearing puffs now
How many times per week will you cowash? 2 to 3x per week
What conditioners are you planning to use? aussie moist, mane and tail or vo5 moisture milks
What do you hope to achieve by cowashing? moisturized BSL hair
How often (if ever) will you use shampoo? 2x a month
bibs and ellehair!I also started cowashing DD's hair once a week. I shampoo her hair on Saturdays since she has swim lessons but I also cowash her hair on Wednesdays with AO HSR or Beautiful Curls. It helps with her moisture level and more importantly it helps keep tangles away. She is only 2yo and I can only detangle when her hair is loaded with conditioner.
I cowashed this morning with Aussie Moist for the first time. The jury is still out.

Hey ladies, not officially in the challenge but peripherally following. Currently co-washing ~5x/wk.
Question: Does anyone DC and d/c'd overnight with protein to cowash it out in AM? I'm planning this because I probably need more protein in my reggie and dont want to cowash with it.

@janda I wasn't super impressed with Aussie Moist plus it has cones. Have you tried Tresemme?

No I haven't. I always look at it when I go shopping but never end up buying. Which one would you recommend?

The Tresemme natural moisture. I just recently picked it up per rave reviews from Ellepixie. It has some of the best slip ever, and really good ingredients.
i actually didn't hate Aussie Moist for co-washing I just didn't like the way it felt left in. They are both the same price point though. Worth a shot once you've run out of Aussie.

How many times per week will you co-wash? 1-3x a week.
What conditioners are you planning to use? HE HH and LTR.
What do you hope to achieve by co-washing? Increase moisture in my hair so I can retain more length, and improve the overall quality of my hair.
How often (if ever) will you use shampoo? Once a fortnight.

I have DCed overnight but not with a protein conditioner. Perhaps others can chime in on this. You can always decide to join the challenge Wanderland.
You just gave me a good excuse to buy another conditioner.

I've been swimming around 4x a week after I finish my workout at the gym so I've been co-washing after a swim with suave humectant. I usually only co-wash in the summer so this a change, co-washing &t wist/braidouts. My poor dry/damaged hair needs a big break from all the flatironing I've been doind since september.
