2011 Cowash Challenge--September 1st through December 31st

Cowashed yesterday with a mix of Jasmine's Shea Butter Rinse and Enso's Aloe & Green Tea Cleansing conditioner.
 
How many times per week will you cowash?
I will co wash 2-3 times a week

What conditioners are you planning to use?
I plan on using up some conditioners that just been sitting: Suave Sleek Conditioner, Suave Humctress, Mizani Thermasmooth Conditioner(my favorite) and some cheepie V05 moisture milks conditioner.


What do you hope to achieve by cowashing?
Thickening my hair and stretching my relaxers

How often (if ever) will you use shampoo?
I will shampoo once a week, maybe every 10 days at the most


I co-wash yesterday with Suave sleek conditioner-oh how my hair miss it so much....:blush:

Honestly, I don't know why I stop co-washing. Co Workers would ask my how my hair is so thick, I will tell them about co-washing. I feel that alone had contributed alot to the health of my hair once was.

I have fell off alot. (Due to my new position that is way more demanding of my time) Im at BSL, however my hair has lost alot of thickness. I was contemplating if I should cut off some inches or just bun it up, until it fill back in and trim each relaxer.

So I guess I can say, I had my first set back. :ohwell:

Well back to the basics...:yep::yep:

What do you hope to achieve by cowashing? Due to my new workout schedule there's no point doing my weekly dc and wet wrap, so just keeping my hair clean-also want to see if there's any effect on my hair by not using heat weekly


How often (if ever) will you use shampoo? Probably weekly

Washed today using my cream of nature with argon oil. Will cowash on Wed :grin: My hair feels nice (the partI can feel). I usually after I wash leave my cond on for 2-4 hours with a shower cap then rinse it out.

@Bublin- Thanks for the info
 
I started without stating my routine:
Cowash 2x a week,
Conditioners:
Hv moist 24/7, millcreek kertain, millcreek biotin, aubrey gpb, joico, treseme, enso green tea, i have alot of conditioners and have no plan rotation, most all have protein. I had major hair loss so no starting pics. Just here to grow healthy hair, and reduce dermatitis.

Today cowash with Enso green tea cleaner, good stuff, thanks IDareT'sHair.
 
I want in! I've been co-washing almost everyday in the summer. I've been using Organix Coconut Milk Conditioner. I'll probably slow down some when it starts getting colder.

Here are my starting pics.

Cowashed yesterday and today with Suave Humectant.:lick: Will cowash tomorrow with Suave Humectant and my Ayurvedic powders.:yep:
 
Just co-washed my hair and put on castor oil and almond oil (mixed it like the egyptians would've done). Also rubbed some tea tree oil to my scalp. I think I'm gonna do this cowashing thing daily now, since I'll be working and being more active, so I need to keep my hair clean.
 
Cowashed with a mix of AOHSR, Claudie's Avocado & Garden Oil. :grin:
 
Cowashed yesterday with AO WC. love the smell, but I think the AO HSR leaves my hair feeling better after air drying. I'll give it a few more tries before making a decision.
