Yep, I'll start a new one next year. Probably start it earlier, so we can squeeze a few extra weeks in there :grin:

I've been thinking of extending the challenge till August 31 or September 1 (get an extra day out of it :lol: ), cause I ain't stoppin on the 18. I'm too addicted :look:

What do ya'll think of extending the challenge to a part two-till the end of the year? Am I going overboard with my addiction? :look:

:yep: Next years really should be 4 months.

I'm keeping this up until the 22nd .. because then I'm getting my hair done for school.

Part 2 would be cool, but I think I'll have to sit that one out because my regimen for the school year Fall and Winter is different ..:nono:
 
DC'ed on dry hair with 2 ORS Replenishing Packs and some EVOO.

Shampooed with Motions Lavish Conditioning Shampoo.

Cowashed with VO5 Passion Fruit Smoothie, used a little as a leavein, and used coconut oil to seal.:lick:

I was gonna do this anyway, but CW at night because it gets so disrespectfully cold here. I say do it, for those that are down, we can keep it going!

I will keep it up. I CWed tonite for the first time since this challenge, with my usual, LTR and left in pumpkin puree/EVOO. I have just accepted the fact that I will be bunning for most of the rest of the year in order to keep up with the CWing and low maintenance. The results are too wonderful to give up for the winter, so I am def down for an extension! :yep:

Plus I just looked and I am really inching towards BSL!!!! If I can keep my ends moist and avoid having to get too much chopped off I should def make it by Dec 08 if not sooner! :drunk::drunk::drunk:
 
Cowashed last night with Yes To Carrots con. Giovanni Direct leave-in with Avocado/coconut creme and sealed with castor oil. Bunned.

Keep it going! You'll be BSL before you know it:yep:

CW this a.m. w/Suave Orchid Petals. I laced this w/grapeseed oil, just cuz. Bee Mine serum, bunned. Anyone else using BM, is it just me, or does it seem to make your curls more defined?
 
I guess I was unofficially on this challenge since I co-wash everyday anyway, lol.

I love co-washing. When done the right way (for me), it's a savior to my hair. I co-wash with a cheapie conditioner, rinse, and then add more as a leave-in. Works like a charm!

I used cheapies when I first went natural, then a couple months ago I thought that my hair didn't like cheapies. What I ended up learning was that my hair doesn't like cheapies with a lot of cones.

I plan on co-washing everyday now till November, and then I'll go back to twists for a while.
 
Last night, LTR. Left in Kenra MC and EVOO, bunned it up.

This CWing at night is not bad. I will keep alternating morning and night cowashes until I get the system down. I will need to perfect it by the time it gets cold. :perplexed
 
cowashed last night wit HE HH.
i think cowashing at night better so i can just put a scarf on and go to bed rather than cowashing in the morning or during the day when ide have to do my hair.

i love cowashing...its great:rolleyes:

When it gets cold, I'm thinking you could try to stick to doing it at night. That way, by the time you wake in the morning, your hair will be dry or *almost* dry.

You could just do your usual routine of co-washing, slathering on the condish, buttering it up, then bun it up. Put on a scarf, and hit the hay.

hey sweetie,

do you mind me asking where you purchased the fresh concepts daily co?

tia,

Yesterday, I was too busy to co wash, so I put my dry hair back in a snood. Although I :love: so washing, I realized that I really miss my dry hair. Baggying, wearing my snoods and bun cages :sad:

So I'm gonna extend this challenge to August 31 so we can all get our last little co wash kicks :yep:

I'm excited to start rollersetting again! :yay:

(If ya'll see another co wash challenge in a few months, just know that I couldn't fight the addiction :lachen: )
