4 Month Co-Washing Challenge!

I was planning on DCW'ing with Tresemme S&S while I did Tae Bo.... But I screwed up my knee and ended up not really being able to move. So I had the conditioner on my head for over 24 hours, finally rinsed it out at around 5 pm. Used some kind of Profectiv leave-in, sealed with Garnier serum, rubbed Bee Mine into my scalp and bunned it up

Anna, I have an actual ayurveda co wash recipe in my fotki. This is an awesome co-wash recipe that really softens and moisturizes my hair. You're welcomed to check it out if you want. And oh the answer to your question, ayurveda powders work very well with co-washing.

I like it! :yep: I can't use stuff like V05, it's too watery and not conditioning enough.

I used my last bit of Amber Romance today. :sad: Then I left in HSH pumpkin puree. Now I need to decide which conditioner to use for co-washes. I'm thinking I'll finish off HE LTR which was not good as a rinse out conditioner for me. I'll try it for CWing next.

This is a great challenge to use up so-so conditioners! (And make room for more in the fall). :rolleyes:

Aww hope your knee feels better!:sad:
 
DCW'd for a few hours with shescentit's Fortifying Mask and Olive & Orange conditioners. My hair came out soooo soft and smells delicioso :lick:

Used Salerm 21 b5 and put a little bit of Komaza's Shea Butter Moisturizer on my ends. Airdried a little bit and then rubbed in some Fhi Hot Sauce. Blowdried and flatironed. My hair is so super straight and shiny. Looks like I stepped out of a salon :grin:

(I'm in bootcamp, so I'm not even supposed to be using heat. But I was bored :eek: )
 
I cowashed at least 4 times today :perplexed ... I just couldn't get my new hair to look right

Oh well.. at least I used my Organix, both the Coconut and the Grapeseed Whitetea. I also used GF Strength & Repair
 
:spank:I bet it's pretty though :grin: I'm on vacation and had to go buy supplies today. Luckily there's an Ulta and some market I've never heard of right up the street from me. Had to wash chlorine out of my hair today, that cowashing wasn't doing the trick. Used Sedal Miel y German de Trigo (in love!) then CW'd w/V05 Chamomile. I guess that would actually be just conditioning, ha? Anyhoo, that shampoo is a keeper, for real. It instantly softened my hard swimmer's hair and was pretty good at detangling as well. Cw'd w/the Chamomile yesterday.

I gave it three tries yesterday after I went swimming. I finally smartened up and bought some poo :lachen:I hadn't packed any. Didn't plan on swimming but after I got thrown in the pool, it was literally sink or swim!
 
Cowashed with Elasta QP DPR 11 early this morning. My hair likes being co-washed with this conditioner:lick:. Thank goodness because my hair doesn't like it as a DC after shampoo so at least it won't go to waste. Oh it works as a DC on my dry hair however.

Do you watch Dora the Explorer? :lachen:

Well, I washed my hair with Redkin Real Control and left in the conditioner. I'll rinse it out and wet set in a couple hours. Check you guys in a few days! :grin:
 
Yes it is delish! I left a bit in my hair and bunned it up today. Then as a 4pm treat (I have to break up the workday somehow), I let my hair down and got a big wiff of gardenias :lick:. It was quite a treat.

hahaha I got it from either Rite-Aid or Walgreens. I'll post the ingredients for you when I get home. Let me know if your researchs uncovers that there's some kind of killer acid in it. :look:
