@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?

No, I haven't tried the shampoo. I bought mine at Whole Foods over a year ago. I hope it works good on your hair! Let me know how you like it. It has really good ingredients in it.
 
Co-washed today with Alter Ego Semi de Lino Linseed Oil Conditioner with Extracts of Garlic, Wheat Proteins and Silk Proteins. The smell is a little off (almost like mens cologne), but the result is really soft hair. I will use this up, but will not repurchase because of the smell.

I love everything about this conditioner. The color, the consistency, the smell. Leaves my hair feeling strong but moisturized. It has some fantastic ingredients too. It's a staple :yep:.
 
Will Co-Wash in the Morning with "As I Am Naturally" Coconut Cowash Cleansing Conditioner.

And do a quickie follow-up with Hairveda Moist 24/7.:grin:
 
For the ladies that co-wash 3 or more times a week and are bunning. Do you comb or brush your hair during the each time you co-wash? (i.e. brush down edges, detangle etc.)

I cowash now 3-4x/wk, and do a tnc. I haven't used a come in 2-3 weeks. All I use are my fingers. This is all pretty new to me, but I like it. :)

I'm a daily cowasher and most days I do wash & go's. Sometimes I bun. I only detangle once a week.
 
Thanks for the replies ladies! I tried finger combing while in the shower last night and that seemed to work pretty well. I think as long as I bun with some sort of leave-in or conditioner that has amazing slip I'm good to go otherwise my hair will resist.

13StepsAhead, I found if I section my hair in 4 w/clips, put a gob of conditioner on each section and let it sit for several minutes before I detangle w/my fingers, detangling is a breeze. And to note I've found Yes to Cucumbers (99% natural, no cones), Aussie Moist and Aussie 3 min miracle (both w/cones) and Suave Almond and Shea Butter (cones) give me AMAZING SLIP.

^^ I've been eyeing that YTC condish, but I have soo many conditioners (including 2 gallon sizes :nono:) already that I'm trying not to buy more.
 
Cowashed with V05 Moisture Milks Passion Fruit mixed with EVOO, Peppermint oil and Tea Tree oil Monday evening. My hair LOVES cowashes!!
 
I'm still cowashing. I reduced it from every other day to only twice a week (wed and sun) bc I'm wiggin it for so want to keep the braids in for as long as possible.
 
I would like to join this challenge as I plan to start cowashing to accompany my workouts during the week.

How many times per week will you cowash? 1-3x per week
What conditioners are you planning to use? I'm new to this, so for now.. Aubrey Organics Honeysuckle rose conditioner & Tresemme Naturals Moisture Conditioner
What do you hope to achieve by cowashing? Increase moisture levels && length retention
How often (if ever) will you use shampoo? I will continue with my weekly shampoo and DC schedule

Cowashed yester day and today with Suave Humectant then applied Giovanni Direct Leavin sealed with EVOO. But noticed by the evening hair felt a little hard. Thinking about spritzing with glycerin mix, but my hair is a lint magnet when I use it.
 
Co-washed with Ego Semi de Lino Linseed Oil Conditioner with Extracts of Garlic, Wheat Proteins and Silk Proteins instead of the AO GPB. This stuff really has a strong scent, but I love the way my hair feels afterwards. At this rate I should be finished with this condish by next week.
 
Cowashed tonight with SE condish that was just sitting in the back of the cabinet.

Cowashed on Wednesday with Claudie's Deep Moisturizing Conditioner,Thursday and today with SSI's Okra Reconstructor, and on Friday with Komaza's Moja conditioner.
 
Co-washed today with Nature's Gate Aloe Conditioner. 1st time using it not so bad. Last summer I was so broke all I could afford was a bottle of coco oil and so I would rinse my hair in the shower to be able to comb it and then add coco oil almost everyday because I had nothing to help me detangle and I retained more length. I'm happy about this challenge and I have more to work with this summer. lol
 
Sitting here with SSI Okra Recon in my hair about to rinse out and apply AE Garlic con and I really want to try something new. Maybe I will use Jasmine Avocado and Silk. Yeah thats what I'm going to do and cowash with BFH Yarrow and Hibiscus cleansing con.
