Checking In!

-Co-washed tonight w/ V05 Vanilla Mint Clarifying Conditioner
-DC'd w/ ORS Replenishing spiked w/ castor oil for 30 mins.
-Quick ACV Rinse.
-Used Salerm21 and CHI Silk as my leave-in.
-Rollerset w/ coconut oil mixed with distilled water to re-wet.
-Sittin' under bonnett dryer as we speak.
-Today is 14 Weeks posts for me.

Yeah Cowashing! :thumbsup:
 
I DC overnight, just did cardio for the heat and I'm about to co-wash now. Hopefully the DC and co-wash challenge will build upon each other.:yep:
 
Count me In...My first challenge ever!!! I use Suave Humectant and Phyto Ogranics by nexxus :love3:
 
I'm in...with my TWA, I pretty much co-wash everyday anyways.

I do have a question though: for all you ladies who are using BT, MN, or any type of growth oil, how do you keep any of that stuff in if you are cowashing 3x a week?

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
 
So in! I wash/rollerset/airdry daily anyway, but this will make sure I don't deviate from this working regimen...cause I can tell the difference when I don't stick to it :up:

I always co-wash, but I've never rollerset set my hair since its been natural. Is this only possible for ladies with relaxers? I'm a natural 3b so my hair is basically wavy/curly when i get out of the shower...is a roller set possible for me or does it have to be straight in order to dry without a kinky texture???

Thanks for any insight.
 
Oooo i want to join. I had planned on co-washing every other day in the summer anyway. This will keep me on track.
 
I'm in!:grin: I want to wash more since I put so many things on my hair and scalp (MN mix, MTG mix, and S-Curl). I gotta keep my Kinky Twists clean. I hope to co-wash at least 3X a week.

I put my BT on after I apply my leave in, while my hair's still wet. So it has enough time to marinate in my scalp :lol:

As long as you put it on every day, there shouldn't be a problem. Just make sure you don't put it on BEFORE you wash (I asked gymfreak the same question and this is what she told me :yep: )
 
Quick question...How many NATURALS w/ SL or longer hair co-wash 3x/week..And how are you wearing your hair???

TIA

As long as my hair isn't straightened (which i'm trying to do just 1 week a month) I cowash4-7 days a week. I either make a puff, wear a twist out, or put it in a slick back ponytail. I don't think I will be wearing wng's much anymore because the dryness and tangles is too much.
 
Co-washed last night. [VO5 Champagne Kisses]:lick:

It was almost midnight .. and I have school .. but it's almost become habit now. I didn't really think twice about it.

I can't help myself! :lachen: Every few weeks, I just have to try something new, and then I kick my previous conditioners to the curb!

I haven't tried the Butter Treat yet, I'll be getting it sometime this week. I wasn't even really thinking about getting it, but Gymfreak made me do it! And when I saw that the tubes were $1.99 each, I HAD to jump on it! :rofl:

Kenra MC is greeeaaat! Nice slip, FANTASTIC moisture, softness.... It's just the best! I usually don't get a conditioner more than once, but I love Kenra MC and have to have it. I keep straying like a fool, but my boo know what's up. No one can replace Kenra :cloud9:

I'll join this challenge, I was planning to be a co-washing fool this summer anyway :giggle:

I bought a pack of stretchy cloth headbands from Wal-mart. After every co-wash, put in a hair lotion and I plait my hair in two braids and go to sleep in a silk scarf. In the morning, I loose them, wet my hair a little and put some more hair lotion on it, paying most of the attention to my ends. I put the headband on and fold my hair under it so the ends are hidden. My ends are tucked under the rest of my hair. Voila! Instant protective style and low manipulation. After work, I co-wash and braid up again.:yep:
 
I co-washed last night with Champagne Kisses. My hair feels so good. Tonight is my regular shampoo and deep condition night.
