Hi! Looking forward to joining you all! I already co-washed this morning w/ Jason's jojoba conditioner. Left my hair very soft! I'm doing a HYH self-challenge, so no starting pics.

Here are my responses:

How many times per week will you cowash? At least once per week
What conditioners are you planning to use? Jason's Natural Jojoba Conditioner
What do you hope to achieve by cowashing? Length retention, more moisture
How often (if ever) will you use shampoo? As needed, if I get buildup. (diluted shampoo, and scalp only).
 
I'm inn. I will be cowashing 3-5x weekly with Garnier Triple Nutrition, TJ Nourish Spa and others. Hopefully I'll retain more moisture. I will shampoo once a week.

I just co-washed with Garnier Triple Nutrition. My hair feels way more moisturized than yesterday's Aussie Moist revisit. Winning :grin:
 
Hope its okay that I ask... For the ladies who cowash 3+ times a week besides wng what do you do for styles? I usually just keep my hair in 8-16 braids but it seems like it would take forever to detangle, cw, dc, and braid back up.
 
How many times per week will you cowash? most days ...at least 3x a week
What conditioners are you planning to use? HEHH, HELTR
What do you hope to achieve by cowashing? Moisture and Length Retention
How often (if ever) will you use shampoo? As needed - probably every 3 weeks or so

I have just co washed with HEHH and HELTR and set for my first twistout - hope it goes well :look:
 
Cowashed with Hairveda's Moist PRO. This is a balancing condish. My hair is a little frizzy when I use protein conditioners but I've learned to live with it.
 
I co-washed on Monday night with VO5's Moisture Milks Peach Smoothie and a little EVOO mixed in, my hair loves that stuff, it always makes it super soft and easy to detangle.
 
I thanked the post! I'm in! I'm in! :)

I cowash daily with HE Hydralicious or Tigi Bedhead Moisture Maniac. :)
 
I cowashed with mixed silk, I don't really care for it as a deep conditioner, but I LOVE it to cowash with. I'm probably about to do a damp bun, since I have to be at work in a little bit.
 
How many times per week will you cowash? 2 to 5 times weekly
What conditioners are you planning to use? Only Giovanni's Tea Tree or Giovanni's Deeper Moisture (Smooth As Silk)
What do you hope to achieve by cowashing? Moisture and softness
How often (if ever) will you use shampoo? NEVER! I will clarify (my scalp only) once every couple of weeks using baking soda...
 
I would like to join. I cowash daily with what ever condition I can find cheap. This week I'm using Sauve cheapie something or another with strawberries. I'll post pics tonight. I won't be straightening until July to see where I am lengthwise though.
 
Cowashed this morning with Claudie's Deep Moisturizing Conditioner. I'm not sure what scent it was but :lick:. Of the three conditioners this week this has given me the best curl definition. I slicked my hair back into a high puff and the front was wavy and the back full of coils :yep:.
 
Just cowashed with VO5 Moisture Milks with some added EVOO. Now I'm DC with Alter Ego and WGO.

Do you not like this as a DC or do you just prefer to use it as a co-wash? I just ordered her Scalp Elixer and Temple Balm was thinking about purchasing this as well but wasn't too sure.

I like my dc's a bit thicker. When I say thick I mean thiiiiiick. I like dc's when you turn over the jar there isn't much of a chance of anything moving in the jar. This can be used as a dc but my preference is as a cowasher. It comes in a bottle.
 
Just cowashed with V05 Herbal Essences (I think that's what it's called) mixed with EVOO, Peppermint oil and Tea Tree Oil. My scalp feels great but I have to say that I do not like this line of V05. After the other bottle that I have, I will be going back to the Moisture Milks and never leaving.
 
Tuesday I co wash with BFH Ginger Orange cleansing con and dc with Alter Ego Garlic treatment followed by BFH Banana & Avocado Deep Mask.

Today I plan on cowashing I probably will co wash with HV Moist 24/7 and dc with HV Strinillah
 
Didn't cowash today, but after my damp bun yesterday I set my hair with flexi rods, and I really like the results. I let them stay in overnight, and got up and took them out, then wrapped my hair, and I got big SL curls. I put a head band on, and I'm ready to go! I love it, its off of my back, and barely rubbing against my clothes.
 
Meant to cowash with Claudie's Reconstructor after doing an overnight dc with Komaza's Intense Moisture Therapy but forgot and reached for the Moist PRO.
 
Bought some new conditioners to try. :lick: Today I cowashed with Mane n Tail Moisturizing conditioner after I DC'd with a mixture of honey, EVOO, Wheatgerm oil and coconut cream. Not really sure how the M&T worked because of the DC treatment but, using the 2 together made detangling a breeze. ~ oh wait. I oiled my hair with EVCO overnight the night before too. ~ But yeah, detangling was a breeze...for a change. :rolleyes:

Planning to try Yes to Carrots in the morning. I'm really happy to be getting back to daily cowashing. :yep:
 
How many times per week will you cowash?
2-3x. I bike to work, so my head will appreciate the... uh, refreshment.

What conditioners are you planning to use?
V05 Moisture Milks, Suave Naturals Coconut and Garnier's Fortifying Cream.

What do you hope to achieve by cowashing?
Hair that gets more moisturized, and stays that way for longer periods of time. I want to get to a point where I don't need to add leave ins and moisturize and seal. I get a lot of breakage when I do that--those steps mean additional manipulation without the aid of my hair being soaked in conditioner.

How often (if ever) will you use shampoo? Ideally, never. But I will use it when I feel my hair and scalp need it. I'm in the process of building a CG-friendly regimen but nothing is set in stone for me yet.
