2011 Cowash Challenge--May 1st to August 31st

Finally remembered I need to rinse the oil out of my hair and cowash. Cowashed with Claudie's Reconstructor. Airdrying as I type.
 
I am in (if its not too late)! I am ready to add a twist to my regimen for the summer.

Frequency: I plan to cowash at least 1-2x/week

Conditioner: Aussie 3 minute, YTCc, Aussie Moist

Goal: Keep ends and roots moisturized to RETAIN LENGTH, and get MBL.

Shampoo: Since the Aussies have cones, I will wash 1-2x/wk with SM Moisture Retention or GSAS. I will let my hair tell me. :)

I was cowashing with Vo5 balancing conditioner in sunkist raspberry. I will be trying Revlon Flex conditioner next.
 
Haven`t checked in in a while ~ just co-washed with HE Hello Hydration, applied some moisturizers, sealed with jojoba and will be air drying overnight. :)
 
I cowash yesterday with BFH Ginger Orange con cleanser. Followed up with Shea Moisture curly style milk, Will most likely dc and cowash tomorrow! I am not sure of what products i will ise just yet.
 
Did an oil rinse with sweet almond oil and followed with a cowash with Moja conditioner. Pulled my hair up in a bun.
 
I love cowashing!!!!! I have only done it twice, but I really like it. I cowashed my week old hair Saturday w/Aussie 3 min. Shirt dried it, put in KCKT. And tried a wng, uh, no. Lol, it felt soft and moisturized for most of the day, but dry the next am. I just wanted to see what my hair would do. Sunday night, I cowashed w/Aussie 3 min, shirt dried, KCKT and sprayed in Taliah Waajid Mist Bodifier, oiled scalp w/castor/emu oil, dbl strand twist, seal ends w/coconut/wheat germ oil. My twist out is so soft. I am attributing the continued softness to the cowash-normally by twist out would be somewhat dry.

Just finished a full week of cowashing every day. I'm very happy with how my hair is reacting. Co washed today with aussie moist, moisturized with KCKT on DAMP hair and sealed ends with wheatgerm oil and length of hair with grapeseed oil.
 
Bfh yarrow Hibiscus to cowash & Vo5 Moisturizing (pink one) to detangle and left some in.
Added Deva Set it Free & then a tad bit of evoo to seal and ecostyler olive for roots idky.
My scalp isn't clean as I'd like but I think I really should dilute anything I put on my scalp even my Vo5 sometimes.
 
Cowashed last night using up the last of my GVP Nexxus Humectress

Co-wash using HE Hello Hydration. Hair was nice and soft. I just have to find a oil that works for me when I'm braiding my hair up for my wig. EVOO is not doing it. My hair eats it and it's back dry within 2-3 hours. Lately I've been using up my SheaMoisture Curl & Style Milk and Curl Smoothie for sealing.
