4 Month Co-Washing Challenge!

I co-washed last night. I'm going to a concert tonight so i tried to style my hair cute but my hair was literally acting a fool with me and i ended up in my same old bun. :ohwell:

Aw man, that sucks! :(

What concert did you go to? How was it?
 
I'm still in lurk mode at this point because I've still got my co-washing training wheels on (only doing it once a week). But speaking of co-washing and relaxers, can you do it a couple days before getting one?

I've washed 3 days before a relaxer with no problem. But those days after I washed, I didn't touch my hair at all. I had it in a bun and kept it way till it was relaxer day :yep:
 
I just co washed with Naked Naturals Citrus and Keratin conditioner. Surprisingly it didn't make my hair hard and tangled, which is what I was expecting cause it has hydrolyzed vegetable protein in it.

It left my hair pretty soft and managable, and my hair feels a lot stronger and heavier now. It also smells scrumptious, nice and orange-y :lick:
 
This morning I co-washed for the first time with HE Break's over conditioner. I really like it! Afterwards I put in HE LTR leave-in, UBH Dew moisturizer and sealed with coconut oil.

I :love: co-washing!
 
:lachen: :lachen:
Girl, it's hard and I be tired than a mug, but I gotsta take care of my hair :lol:

I usually wake up early before the kids are up, or I wait till they take their afternoon nap, or I wait till after they go to bed at night. I do my hair while in the shower and then airdry in a bun. I'd like to try rollersetting more, but it takes me a long time, so it usually can't fit into my schedule most of the time

Your signature pic is absolutely precious, by the way. :)

I couldn't imagine trying to juggle my hair project (which truly pales in comparison to what some other LHCF members are doing) AND take care of small children. I get frazzled trying to work co-washing into my normal routine (coming home from work, exercising, cooking dinner, and getting ready for bed). And don’t LET something come up (as it ALWAYS does!). Just yesterday, my co-washing plans got derailed because I had to run an errand after work, which took longer than expected, and then pick my husband up after he had car trouble.

I will probably co-wash after getting my relaxer (I get the touch up tomorrow, so tonight would be too late) and see how that goes. All in all, I guess part of me is still stuck in the “only wash your hair once a week” so putting water on it several times beforehand is a little difficult. Oh well, good luck with your challenge! Who knows, I might come out of lurk mode and join once I take my training wheels off. :drunk:

I cowashed last night with Suave Tropical Coconut again ..:lick:

Running low .. I'm considering buying more but idk, it think it leads to buildup faster than the VO5. I dont know. Whatever.
 
I co washed last night and sprayed Nadia's Green Grape Leave- in and sealed with avocado butter. I have the softest new growth. The leave in made detangling a breeze.
 
i'm gonna sit in the corner and look on for this one...at least for a few more days. trying not to join any challenges till i'm done with finals. lots of great leave-in ideas in here though.
 
I CW'd last night with Tresemme Smooth and Silky mixed with Shikakai powder. I'm hooked on this conditioner now! It definitely leaves my hair so silky, but then again it could be because I'm still freshly relaxed. Definitely will be comparing it the further along I am with my stretch. My hair is stronger too, no breakage.
 
Count me in, please!!!!!
I know that I am late but count me in; I co-washed Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday. This works for me cuz I am in the conditioning challenge too.
 
Co washed this morning with Moist Condition Pro and A little bit of SitriNillah DC. Used WBC as a leave in and Cocasta as a sealant.

Wearing a wash n go pony today!
 
This morning V05 Extra Body again. I've been spraying my scalp w/Surge 14 for the past 3 nights. I'm gonna see if I can do it 14 consecutive days. Silicon Mix leave in and Honeybush Tea Gel. Pulled in a pony. I think the Qhemet is better for my daughter's natural, not so hot on mine. I do kinda like the OAHC on my hair after it's 95% dry though.
 
I been slipping. :ohwell:

I co-washed this afternoon with HE mixed with alma oil + coconut oil.

My hair is thankful :yep:
 
Co-washed last night w/ Dove Cucumber and Green Tea.

I have Dove's cucumber and green tea scented deoderant, and it's the yummiest scent ever! Every time I lift up my arms, I think ''Damn I smell good!'' :lol:

I'll bet your hair is smelling great!
 
Tiffers,

I don't feel like it this weekend! I need to do it soon. My relaxer is on Wednesday so i cant wait too long because i'll burn and i cant touch my scalp but i'm lazy as hell.

I think i'll do it Sunday night after work. :ohwell: I'm failing the challenge already...
 
Cowashing today... I'm mainly just using up old conditioners I don't like... like Tresseme smoothing masque & Silk Elements

I'll probably then get back to using my Organix conditioners when I'm free of all these other junk products I wasted my money on...
 
CW'd this morning with Keracare Humecto and did an oil rinse afterwards. I pinned up to airdry. I will not wet my hair again until Monday after my cardio and I will rinse really well each day until Tuesday. On Tuesday I will DC and cw again.
