4 Month Co-Washing Challenge!

Hi Ladies. I cowashed tonight with Tresemme Thermal Recovery condish and then followed with Suave Coconut condish to help with detanglng.
 
I actually changed conditioners tonight. I'm now using HE Drama Free conditioner (herbal essence) and it smells so incredible and makes my hair feel really good. [I just stood in the shower and held my hair because it felt so soft. Okay, done raving.]
 
CW tonight w/V05 Passion Fruit Smoothie :lick:. Used some as a leave in as well and sealed w/EVCO and did a tucked pony. It's my sis' b'day and one of her guy friends at dinner rubbed his hand across my hair and said "I just love your hair." This is the same one that when he came in we hugged and I apologized for my hair being wet, explained I'd just washed in the shower he said "That's okay, mine is still wet too." :grin: He has nice hair...I digress.
 
just cow w/ albertos free me freesia...i'm airdrying w mini puffs n a scarf...otherwise i'll be looking like kunta kinta getting beat by master in roots:look::lachen:

Used LTR tonight.
Wanted to do a braidout but my last one was a tangled mess for some reason and I didn't want to deal with that again.
Used Salerm and pulled into a ponytail with a loose twist.
 
I co-washed today with my ayurveda co-wash powders and rinse it out with V05 Hydrators conditioner. My hair was nice and soft afterwards.

Aggie, do you make your Ayurveda powders into a paste, or do you brew them and only use the liquid?

After months and MONTHS of wanting to try None Of Your Frizzness, I finally got it...... And I HATED it!

It left my hair tangled and dry, I didn't even ATTEMPT to detangle :nono: Just threw my hair in a bun on top of my head and went on about my business :ohwell:
 
Prepoo w/ Castor and Humectress.
CW w/ VO5
same routine as always from there......

The last few days I've been doing the CW in the evening and I think i'm gonna stick to that for the most part. I like how my hair is in the morning after doing the scarf method all night.

30 min of the scarf in the morning will do nothing for this new growth at this point:nono:
 
Aggie, do you make your Ayurveda powders into a paste, or do you brew them and only use the liquid?

My co-wash is a paste mixed with conditioner and oils that I leave on for at least 30 minutes or longer if I have the time. I do use an actual liquid rinse made from just powder and water that I pour over my hair as well. This one I usually strain using a stocking cap and pour over my hair in the shower, try to leave it on for at least 30 minutes to an hour just hanging there dripping wet- with no plastic cap on, jump back in the shower and co-wash out with a cheapie conditioner.

When I do the latter, I don't manipulate my hair because it's a little hard. In truth though, ever since I started the co-wash paste, I haven't used the liquid rinse because the paste doesn't make my hair hard and I do wear a plastic cap with it for about 30 minutes. In both cases, I pre-poo my hair and scalp with an ayurveda oil before application.
 
Fell asleep w/ Suave Humectress + Dabur lite oil in my hair. Rinsed this morning, added a lil Pantene R&N back to my hair, sealed w/ EVOO.
 
Did another poo today (2 days in a row) w/BPT Wheat Germ then CW w/Suave Humectant/V05 Passion fruit mixture. Used Champagne Kiss as leave in and sealed w/EVCO. Bunned.
 
I'm in braids but my hair is natural now after a year of no relaxers. What is co- washing again? Can I do it?

Co washing is when you wash your hair, but only use conditioner. There are lots of ways to co wash, but the two most popular ways are

-Get in the shower, rinse hair with water, massage in a cheapie conditioner, finish with shower, rinse out conditioner

OR

-Put conditioner on dry hair at night, put plastic cap on, go to sleep, rinse in the morning

I don't know too much about co washing with braids. I know Aggie deep conditioned while in braids, I don't know if she co washed while in them. I think frequent co washing would cause them to frizz up. Maybe you can pm Aggie and ask her about it

HTH!!! :grin:
 
Dc'd w/heat for an hour today with Alter Ego Energizing conditioner then co washed with Tresemme Moisture Rich.

Sprayed on some Green Grape Mist, applied a little Salerm b5, sealed with Fantasia IC Olive Oil Serum and then rollerset. I'm sitting under the dryer right now :yep:
