Dang! Only 20 minutes??? :shocked:

It takes me an hour, and that's when I don't have any newgrowth :perplexed
 
DC overnight w/SitriNillah Hair Masque, CW this a.m. w/Joico K-pak Reconstruct Daily Conditioner. Thinking about rollersetting this weekend to see if I have any progress...

Awwww….. Thank you!!!!! This is my FIRST CHALLENGE and I’m excited. I wash my hair w/ Aussie (everyday or every other day) and my hair and scalp loves it. I also use Suave, I alternate every week and write down on my calendar how my hair feels. I went out yesterday and brought a FILTERED SHOWER HEAD from Lowes. I have tested my water prior to getting it and it is hard water (you can get a FREE test strip at Lowes) so I invested in a filtered shower head. Before I got the shower head I was using distilled water and a final rinse. Anywho, I’m excited and the LHCF ladies have greeted me w/ open arms Thanks.

Since it's getting warmer, I know a lot of us will start washing/co-washing more. So I figured I'd start a challenge lasting through the summer months. The challenge will last from next Monday (May 5) till August 18, exactly 4 months. So get all of the conditioners you need and join the challenge!

*RULES*

The rules are simple: co-wash at least 3 times a week and check in after each co-wash to keep yourself in check. If you know you have to check in, you'll be more likely to do it!

So who's with me? Come join me in the wonderfulness that is co-washing :grin:

Hey tiffers, I decided to join this challenge because I am in the Mega Tek/OCT challenge and need to keep up the moisture level in my hair as much as possible. I still DC twice a week but all the days in between I will be co-washing with either VO5, suave humectant, tresemme, or my special ayurveda co-wash - recipe is in my fotki. I am not combing on days I co-wash but I detangle on DC days, ie., Wednesdays and Sundays.

After each co-wash I'd put on my Salerm 21 with B5 leave-in conditioner. I made a spritzer of 3 oz of VO5 moisture milks with 12 oz of distilled water and I spray my hair with that and seal with JBCO. I am keeping my haitr as moisturized as possible because the MT can be drying. So far it's working very well. I have a shower filter and that's keeping my hair very very soft.
 
giovanni 50/50 dc w/heat 30 min
MiEssence Clarifying Rinse
finish w/giovanni Smooth as Silk

My scalp is breathing continuously. :love:

No product on for days at a time to clog up the pores and weigh down the hair.:rolleyes:
Great Challenge...opened new worlds for me to explore.:sunshine:

Just checking in. I have been co-washing at least 4 times a week. My hair is loving it. I have been bunning after the cowash. I am using HE HH, and CON detangling shampoo (in the green). I seal with my MN mixed with coconut oil, evoo and codliver oil.
 
I co-washed with some VO5 moisture milk yesterday and I loved that conditioner, my hair came out pretty soft an silky. I co-washed with my Suave humectant this morning and it made my hair feel a little strong more so than soft and silky like my VO5 moisture milk. I think it has a little protein in it so I guess I will use the Suave and follow it with a VO5 co-wash to restore that silky feeling when I co-wash again. I will try to co-wash at least 3-4 times per week in the mornings before work and still keep up with my DC-ing twice a week.
 
I'm in.
Starting a little late.
This will keep me accountable to you all.

Co-washed today with Suave Tropical Coconut.
Co-washed yesterday with Suave
 
Glad to see everyone doing so well. My hair was really loving being co-washed. But I decided to put my hair in mini-twist t/o the summer, so I am going to have to drop out of this challenge. I plan on just washing 1x/week.
 
Ok--i've been eying this challenge but was at a loss for how to wear my hair.

but i think i found a style that will work for me.....

side ponytail in a bantuish knot and then with a pretty flower in my hair in front of the ponytail.
Looks good and summery...so we'll c...

OH, yeah, i'm on the challange:drunk:

ETA: I oil rinsed today, is that considered still CWing???? That's the way I would like to do it
 
I dc'ed with Redken Extreme Rescue Force and then co washed with Kenra MC. Used Sebastian #9 leave-in, topped with a few sprays of Green Grape Mist. Put on some Garnier anti-frizz serum and rollerset. My hurr is soooo soft :drunk:
 
DC with miss keys 10 n 1 and CW w/Tresemme thermal recovery
air dry with GD leave in and Sebastian potion #9, Garnier moistureworks cond., castor oil on ends
 
I'm in! I've been co washing since April ( i couldn't wait for it to get warm, my hair loves it) and i'm in it til August def! I've been using Mane n tail, garnier frutis and cantu conditioners so far with jojoba oil on the ends.
 
Hello ladies~ I cowashed this weekend w/ Sally’s generic brand of Nexus w/ a little coconut oil and evoo (hot oil treatment) I baggied overnight w/ my hair in braids. My hair feels soft, I love cowashing. IMO my hair is always moisturized and easier to manage. I also used aussie this wkend, my hair loves it.
 
I'm trying Suaves Toasted Vanilla and Sugar to cowash with now :lick:

My hair seems to be responding well to it, and I may start sealing with coconut oil. Has anyone else tried this?
