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

Introduced Suave Almond & Shea butter into the rotation. I luv it too-melts my tangles away AND it's cheap! It is up their with my best detangler-Aussie 3 min. One thing I noticed when I cowashed yesterday, its better to put the condish on and let it sit for a few minutes before attempting to detangle. Usually I get right to detangling. I also still love my YTCc!

I'm new to the forum. If this is a challenge and I can't post sorry. I just wanted to say I cowash as a means to style my hair. All I do is cowash apply a bit of gel for my poof factor and roll out.

Cowashed with a mix of Claudie's Reconstructor and SSI's Okra Reconstructor yesterday. Will cowash with Darcy's Pumpkin Seed Conditioner today.

Will be cowashing today with a mix of Alter Ego garlic condish, HE Break's over and HE Totally Twisted...the last 2 are mainly to cover the smell of the AE. i am looking forward to feeling that cooool water on my scalp!
 
Hello Ladies
I am an extreme newbie and am trying to learn all the acronyms and terms and to start a hair care regimen. I know this sounds really sillly but what is a cowash and how do I do it. Also how do u seal the ends of your hair?

Thanks in advance for your responses.
 
Oh, btw my hair is shoulder length and relaxed with butter blend by mizani and I relax every 3 to 31/2 months and trim at that time, though I do clip split end at times myself when I see them inbetween trims, lol. I will upload pics soon..

Thanks again..,

pretty wings a cowash is washing your hair with conditioner only. No shampoo.
 
Thank u Nix for ur response. So Do u wash with the conditioner and then with shampoo and then condition again. Or u only wash with conditioner all the time. I am a lil confused on how this works... sorry for all the questions, trying to learn, what does 4B mean ?
Thanks...

Some people do the bolded and some people do the red. When doing the red some will wash with shampoo once a week, every 2 two weeks or even just monthly.

4B is a hair type. Goggle Andre Walker Hair Typing System.
 
I've been co-washing twice to three times a week with Suave Naturals Clarifying Conditioner. I love its scent and it gets my hair springy and clean. I've also done a few oil rinses and my hair (especially my NG) is just ridiculously soft. Stupidly soft.
 
I did an overnight DC with Alter Ego Garlic Treatment and I am about to CW this morning with Suave Humectant so that I can use it all up!
 
Hi,

I'd like to join this challenge, my hair dries out really quickly and the ends are riddled with single strand knots. I have curly Qs all over my bathroom.

How many times per week will you cowash? 1-2 times I'm new at this so I don't know how my hair will react.

What conditioners are you planning to use? Humectant, VO5 moisture milk pomegranate, Garnier Fructis length and strength (I have a million conditioners but it will take me a few months to use these up).

What do you hope to achieve by cowashing? Moisture, retention, less ssk and healthy looking hair.

How often (if ever) will you use shampoo? Shampoo once a week on weekends
 
I hope it's not too late to join. I will be giving my wigs a break until the end of the summer, so I want to up my co-washing.

How many times per week will you cowash? 3x

What conditioners are you planning to use? various conditioners; I'm tryingt to uses up my stash so I have only a select number of product lines.

What do you hope to achieve by cowashing? moisture retention.

How often (if ever) will you use shampoo? 1x a week or 2x a month depends on how my hair feels.

I thought I left my Review?:perplexed

I do like the Coconut Cowash. It grew on me after several uses. It cleanses well and it moisturizes decently. I have 3 Jars so I betta' like it (at least for a minute anyway:lol:).

It's good tho'. Still Looking forward to trying out HV Amala Cleanse and WEN.

Chances are, the way it stands today, I probably won't repurchase BFH Cleansing Conditioners.:yawn:

@destine2grow - Jason's natural's jojoba conditioner smells really nice and has a ph of 5.5 - which is pretty good. I have a mix of 4a/4b hair and it leaves my hair really soft. :yep:

TraciChanel I guess I will go ahead and order online. I have looked in the stores around me and I have not been able to find this particular one. I also want to try the aloe one. Have you tried the shampoo?
