Cowashed early this morning with Enjoy Hydrating Conditioner to detangle my hair (in preparation of my henna later) and finished off with Enjoy Luxury Conditioner before heading out to church this morning.
I am now sitting with some henna in my hair for about 2 hours and will follow up with some indigo coloring as well for another 1.5 hours. I like my hair dark.

Washed my hair with Elucence Acidifying Shampoo just to see how well it worked and my find is that I like it, I like it a lot.
I especially like the citric scent of it
and it didin't leave my hair stripped like Keracare 1st Lather Shampoo (both are sulfate-free).
I then cowashed with Enjoy Hydrating Conditioner. I think my hair is in it's shedding phase, because this morning, I had major shedding in the shower.
I may have to braid my hair up and put on my wig now so I will be doing that this weekend after my deep protein and moisture treatments. I don't need to manipulate it unnecessarily right now

Cowash end everyday last week and my breakage was minimal, however my hair seems very fragile in its wet state. This week I'll only cowash once.

Okay my experiment failed, I must cowash more than 1 a week or my new growth will be a dry mess. Back to cowashing daily or atleast every other day!
I'm not officially in this challenge, but I have decided to start DCW'ing (deep CW'ing) at least twice a week for more growth and moisture. I have been DCW'ing and alternating with shampooing and DC'ing once per week (DCW for 3 wks out of the month and shampoo and DC on 1 wk). It has worked well, but I want to keep my ends in tip top shape in order to keep my retention high and minimize trims this year. Worked for me last year.

Cowash tonight with Organix Morrocan Argan Oil. Hair isnt feelin as woot woot as it used to...may find another moisture conditioner and swap them out every once in awhile. My hair hates sticking to one thing just as much as I do. Any suggestions for good iNEXPENSIVE moisture conditioners...that you could get at like CVS?

cowashed with the very last drop of my ENJOY Hydrating Conditioner. It was a really good cowash conditioner but I cannot justify paying over $35 for a 32oz bottle of cowash conditioner when Aussie, Suave, vo5, and Tresemme all serve the same purpose and do the same thing basically. Now I may purchase the gallon bottle for $69 a little later if I change my mind though. This makes a lot better financial sense to me.
