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

A trick that I had forgotten about and started using again recently: a t-shirt. I wrap my hair in a t-shirt for 5-10 minutes after cowashing. This equals excellent definition for wash & gos but that means more shrinkage too. I :love: it. Prior to the t-shirt I have applied all of my products but I do apply a spray leave in/moisturizer again after the t-shirt to be safe.
 
It's been so hot I've been cowashing everyday this week. My hair feels just lovely! I think I'm gonna be wet bunning for the next few days. Its just to hot to have all that hair out. lol

i wish i could, but i would have to retwist everyday and my hair is too thick/short to where i could do twist in bigger sections that won't come apart.
 
Cowashed with Vo5 Strawberries and Cream this morning. Wasn't as great as it used to be for my relaxed hair but it defined my curls beautifully as a leave in. Not sure what the verdict is for this one but I have 90% of the bottle to finish so we shall see. I still LOVE the smell though. Maybe the Suave strawberry scent will be a good substitute.
 
late post....I cowash wednesday morning with Suave Humectant conditioner. Then added some more and left it in all day with olive oil (wet pony style). Wed night washed it out, put in a leave in conditioner and twisted. I will probably shampoo tomorrow and deep condition
 
I've been co-washing every other day for 2 weeks and my hair has gotten thicker and healthier! Co-washing has worked well along with spraying my hair with a mixture of carol's daughter oil elixir, Shea butter, and carol' daughter leave in conditioning treatment! I'm putting it in twist tonight and I'll co wash in a week!
 
Cowashed today with AE Garlic Condish mixed with HE Totally Twisted(mainly for the smell). This heat is a KILLA!!!! I have the urge to cowash daily. Summer hasn't even started in full force as yet *sigh*
 
Just bought 2 Tresemme Naturals conditioner. They are on sale at Rite Aid for $3.88.

Loving the feel of my hair lately. I'm seeing less breakage from the tips of my hair from cowashing every other day.
 
Cowashed tonight with the last of my V05 clarifying condish

Sent from my SPH-D700 using Long Hair Care Forum App
 
Co-washed this morning with the last of my Herbal Essences Break's Over FINALLY! Now it's on to the TRESemme Moisture Rich that I've had since the beginning of my hair journey (09) so yall know I can't wait to use that up lol
 
they way my head is itching, you would think I haven't washed my hair in months. Guess I'll be co-washing today instead of tomorrow.
 
Checking in. I am now cowashing daily with Aussie Moist 3-minute miracle and leaving in regular Aussie Moist condish and Shea Moisture Curl Smoothie!!!!! Loving this regimen! WINNING!
 
I would love to join! I want my hair to be a longer by August 21, I hope to grow at least 1 1/2 inches... I did cowashing before and it helped..... I just showered and cowashed my relaxed hair and it smells and looks amazing :)

PLEASE POST:
How many times per week will you cowash? I plan to cowash at least 4 times a week or more. What I do though is wash, deep condition and flat iron my hair one week and then co wash the second week and do it again....
What conditioners are you planning to use? I use Hair One, used Optimum for hair breakage, Lekair Olive Oil.... etc. I am going to buy some Herbal Essence and Aussie and try that and try whatever...
What do you hope to achieve by cowashing? I want my hair to grow faster and be healtheir. I have a friend and she kept putting her hair back and not messing with it, saw her recently and her hair grew so fast!! I want to accomplish that too!
How often (if ever) will you use shampoo? I have no prob using shampoo.... I am going to use it twice a month.
 
I cowashed with Optimum hair breakage and then I used Aussie Leave In Conditioner and Argan Oil, slicked my hair back with Eco Style Olive Oil. Also used some S Curl
