4 Month Co-Washing Challenge!

I've been on vacation, so I haven't been posting lately, but I've still be faithfully co-washing 3x a week. My hair is loving it. I switch up between Suave and HE Hello Hydration.
 
:fistshake:DAMN, DAMN, DAMN!!! Tiffers and whoever else that was talking about their hot water heater going out passed that virus right over here!! I did a henna DC today and hopped in the shower and that water was so :freezing:I had a back spasm and had to get out w/half washed hair. I am so not happy right now! I slathered my hair in Silicon Mix/10 en 1 and I'm involuntarily DCing again until my dad can get over here and do something!!

It was me. Sorry. I am sending you a hug because i know what you are going through.
 
I've had to boil water all weekend for baths because the store that my dad needed a part from closed @ 2 on Saturday and didn't open again until this morning:nono: I haven't heard from him, but hopefully I'll have hot water when I get home. I need to do laundry and take a real shower!
 
Ugh, I did a protein treatment [overnight:nono:] I went to bed at like 4am and was too tired to rinse it out .. then shampooed.

Somebody stole my shower comb, my hair is a dry tangled mess.

I just cowashed with Strawberries and Cream, and put it in a messy bun. I'm not gonna comb it until they bring my shower comb back.
 
Co washed today with V05 hydrators conditioner, I like the smell of this conditioner and it does give quite a bit of slip too.
 
No CW today, I wet set last night. A week of CWing has made my hair absolutely soft. I love it! :lick:

I will CW Wed or Thursday and leave in Aveda DR treatment to add a little protein to my hair. Check you guys in a few days! :peace:

I bought it, but haven't used it yet. A store near me has all the older scents like the Hydrators, Peaches & Cream, Blueberry, Coconut Colada and Fruitsations. I bought them all except the blueberry :drunk:

Dang, you got ALL the scents I want to try! Especially Blueberry :lick:

I was crackin up at your cold shower post! Especially about you gettin cramps in your back! :lachen: When I took my first cold shower, my neck got all stiff and cramped up. I had to do some Pilates neck stretches while taking a damn shower! :rofl:

I'm used to them now :ohwell: The first few seconds takes some getting used to, but after that, it's smooth sailin :cool:

Give me your addy, I'll send you some :yep: My daddy fixed it today and said "Stop taking all those long showers, I know ya! You did it at home, you probably doing it here!" He considers 30 minutes long:lachen:Then he went into some long explanation about the heating element and how it's electric, not gas yadda, yadda, yadda...I was just blinking until he got done and was like "So when am I supposed to wash my hair then?" He just rolled his eyes and left. LMAO Umm, great progress by the way...I see you creepin up on BSL all incognegro-like...

On to other business...Billy Jay- :nono: I'm trying to wait til the 7th to order but a sistah's trigger finger is itching. I needs ta re-up!
 
I would like to start by saying Tiffers your an inspiration :yep:. I've been reading the threads for about a week now, and you definately motivate everyone, even me and i'm not even in the challenge :grin:, yet. I wear braids and can't co-wash with them because i'm so tender headed, the more my hair grows the more it hurts. Gonna start back bunning actually by the end of the year, along with co-washing thanks to this thread

. One of your thread I love to read is the one where you say (your prize is bangin hair) I love that one, who could resist that. I've bought HE HH, I had LTR, purchased Strawberry Kisses, Suave Tropical Coconut. Keep up the co-washing girls, your all inspiring.

:drunk: CW'd this morning w/Tresemme Moist Curls (or something like that) for the 1st time. Too early to tell if I like it since it was only about an hour ago. My hair is super soft, but I don't know if I can attribute that to the cond, Vatika prepoo or my henna DC on Saturday...
 
Last night with Strawberries and Cream.

I'm still tryna recover from that protein overload.:nono: .. I DC'ed .. cowashed almost 3 times.. man ..:sad:

Update:

It is almost 14:00 and I'm here to report that I don't think I like this stuff, and I will be returning it this evening after work. I can literally HEAR my hair :nono: I shoulda just stuck w/Smooth & Silky.

Thank you, Anna! That's so sweet of you! :hugxplode: <-- I always wanted to use that smiley! :giggle:

Kelle, try dc'ing overnight with a really moisturizing conditioner. Doing that 2 or 3 times should help drastically. The first time I dc'd overnight, I almost had a hairgasm in the shower :lol: My hair felt like s-i-l-k! Dove Advanced Therapy (in the dark blue bottle) does the trick every time :yep:

BTW, is your name pronounced like Kelly or Kel?

Aw dang, that sucks! It's so crazy how S&S works so well for you but this one doesn't. What are you gonna co wash with next?
 
CW this morning w/V05 Chamomile Tea Therapy. Did a 2nd CW s/Sunsilk Captivating Curls. Used a lil of the Sunsilk as a leave in then used my styling gel/cream stuff then diffused. I forgot how much my hair loves the diffuser :yep: soft, defined, frizz-free curls today. YAY!!

I did :cry: but I'm in Philly with my mom .. and all she has is a bunch of Motions crap. I gotta buy some DCs .. and I usually stick to the ORS Pack but it has protein in it .. so I guess I'll try the Dove. Thanks Tiffers! BTW, I love your avi! You'll be there in no time ..

And um, actually, it's Rickelle [like .. raquel. or rick-el] so it's pronounced Kel.:yep:
