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

I'm in!

How many times per week will you cowash? At least 1x per week

What conditioners are you planning to use? Cheapie conditioners like Suave and V05. I'll probably add more as time goes on.

What do you hope to achieve by cowashing? Moisturized hair, length retention and a little thickness wouldn't hurt

How often (if ever) will you use shampoo? 2x per month
 
I cowashed earlier today but had to go out and didn't post it, so yeah. Did the usual and my hair was nice. Bunned it and omg, so lovely that I may do this everyday :)
 
Cowashed tonight with a mix of:

-AOHSR
-Silk Dreams Destination Hydration
-Claudie's Avocado Intense Conditioner
-Neutral Protein Filler
-Wheat germ oil
-Nourish Oil
-Garden Oil
-A partridge in a pear tree :lachen:
 
Co washed with my mix, that was the last of that batch. Now I am going to try out my new products. I am co washing all the time, my scalp loves that clean feeling, but I got some new knots so I am going to start co washing in plaits.
 
Long time lurker, first time poster. This site and you wonderful women have been an incredible source of information for me over the past couple of years and I have learned so much about my hair... much more to learn though and this hair journey of mine will be a very long one :) My goal is simple regimen that will help ensure that I stick with it.

I will take starting pics tonight before my rollerset.

How many times per week will you cowash?
1x week on Saturdays, plus a deep condition with heat for 30-mins mid week

What conditioners are you planning to use?
Regular cowash with Tresemme Moisture Rich Condition (switching to Tresemme Naturals line when this one runs out). Sometimes use Elasta QP Recovery Conditioner.

Deep condition with a mix from Hairlista - Elasta QP DPR II, AtOne Botanical Reconstructor, EVOO and Honey, plus a few drops of TeaTree or Rosemary essential oil.
(My fav new product is the Elasta QP DPR)


What do you hope to achieve by cowashing?
I have very very dry and fine hair, so I am trying to boost moisture and reduce breakage.

How often (if ever) will you use shampoo?
As needed if there is too much build up. Preference is once other week. But since I've started using the sulfur oil mix every other day so I may have to increase shampoo to 1x week.

My scalp has been itching less as well since I start cowashing more.
 
Count me in, if it's not too late.

How many times per week will you cowash?

I'm currently using Renpure Organics Amazing Miracle. I tried HELTR conditioner, but my hair did not like it. I would like to eventually try CJ's Daily Fix.

Hair that is supple.

How often (if ever) will you use shampoo?
1-2 days per week w/Giovanni 50/50 Hydrating Clarifying Shampoo
 
I DC'ed today using avocado + honey + yogurt, then rinsed with HEH and used YTCu as a leave-in. My hair feels heavenly and shiny! My curls also really popped like never before for some reason. I wonder why? *_*
 
Cowashed with the same mix as yesterday, with a bit of extra Garden Oil added. :)

Going to the shower now and will cowash with HE Totally Twisted.

I also purchased Suave Green Juicy Apple conditioner and suave Almond and
Sheabutter conditioner.

After cowashing with HE TT, OMGosh my hair felt great it seem like it loosen my NG. Detangling was a breeze. Officially my cowashing FAV.

Afterwards put in my leave ins. Placed in a high bun. Then tied up with a scarf.

How many times per week will you cowash?
1-2 times a week

What conditioners are you planning to use?
Really, whatever condish i have around to be honest, but i have a cheapie condish surplus of V05 moisture milks (various flavors/scents), Suave Naturals Tropical Coconut and Juicy Green Apple, and yes to carrots. Also, I'm sure to use Mane and Tail as my cowash condish

What do you hope to achieve by cowashing?
Moisture and maintaining softness, lightly cleanse scalp without stripping moisture and oils, scalp invigoration & stimulation, combat dryness. Along with other healthy hair practices, I hope that by cowashing I achieve generally healthy growing hair.

How often (if ever) will you use shampoo?
I shampoo once a week after I deep condition my hair or before protein treatments. I'm not married to this, but it is a general rule that I do. Also, I lightly clarify about once every 1 or 2 months depending on how much product buildup I have.
