4 Month Co-Washing Challenge!

Co washed today with Aussie Moist, used a little LTR as a leave in, sealed with Luxe Lushe and bunned
 
CW'd this morning with Tresemme Flawless Curls (spiked with a cap full of silk amino acids). Sealed with Shea Butter and put my hair in two low buns in the back.
 
Sill cowashing every morning, but have a new delimma. My hair is growing getting thicker and as a result holding water longer.

I am using my aqua towels longer to get the water out.

New development. Not complaining just trying to get a work a round since I do this in the morning and some days have to walk right out the door.

My hair which is under my wigs is dripping even after blotting with a towel.

Hmmmmmmmm.

Love the cowashing though. Won't ever take this out of my regimen now. Or will at least do this 2-3 times when daily isn't an option.
 
I've been a lazy so an' so today. I took my scarf off this morning, left it in a half-@zz bun/tuck and that was that. That Bee Mine does have my waves looking lovely though:yep::yep:
 
I am in, I have been unofficially doing it since 6/5/08 [thought it was longer] I conditioner 'wash' daily, shake and go.
 
Just cowashed with VO5 Orchid ... such a pretty scent; good way to start this day.

I feel soo, soo, womanly with my showered body and hair heavy from the water, the tip of which is mid back (ha, how's that??)

Reality . . in an hour or so it'll curl back up to my neck, ha ha ha ha :lachen:
 
Today was a good day, I am finally 'learning' my hair. As much as I don't want the frizz in the back... when I try to prevent this by spraying extra H2 after it has began to dry, to try to clump the curls and get rid of the frizz, I always end up with a hard ramen noodle look. So from now on I just untie my scarf, hop in shower, let the pressure of the shower nozzle stream down and I slowly comb thru/detangle my hair from the ends on up with my rake comb, no conditioner just the water. After all wet, I use my fingertips to massage my scalp [rinse away dirt??] still w/o conditioner. after wards I slather on the herbal essences' 'hello hydration' paying particular attention to the ends, I then carefully place the ends of my hair on the top of my head, not balled up though. I wash, and then rinse out condish. bending down, with warm to hot water [cold water leaves my hair crunchy] and i rinse out condish. Shake my hair like mad in the shower, do it again out of shower, go through a crazy dance routine spraying H2 back and forth to and fro, keep shaking like mad, letting it air dry on the bus stop on my way to work, out side at lunch...lol!!!!

It is now almost noon and it looks good, it clumps nicely and I am pretty happy I may keep this up forever and just get a blow out or hot comb when I want it straight. I used to hate that my hair would get like this [underprocessed no matter how much I relaxed] and I would damage it with over straightening and then bald it and start over. Learning to accept my hair makes me happier.

I will read this everyday I log in to LHCF remind myself of my good day. :)

I co-washed yesterday for the First Time.:grin: I used Olive Oil Replenishing Conditioner. I love how soft my hair felt. I oiled my scalp with eo's, sealed with jbco, wet wrapped and sat under my bonnet for like 45 minutes. My hair is much straighter this way then when doing roller sets. I think i will do this 2x a week and do my regular poo wash with dc 1x per week. As I as new to co-washing, can anyone tell me some of the benefits?

Thanks!
 
Co-washed this morning with Tressemme flawless curls with B-5. I used the Denman Brush (my once a week treat). Waves and curls are clumped together and doing well today.
 
Co washed today with Tresemme Moisture Rich. Used Green Grape Mist and Banana Brulee as leave ins :grin:

Co washed with LTR. Used Green Grape Mist and Fortifying Mask as a leave-in, bunned it up
 
This challenge has been great, but I have been co-washing daily for 5 months and my hair needs a break. So, good luck ladies, but this is it for me! I will still keep tabs of the conditioners and post a compilation thread at the end of the challenge.

You'll probably get them early next week. They both take about 4-5 days to send off packages, plus the 2-5 days it takes to recieve it :yep:

What'd ya get?
