4 Month Co-Washing Challenge!

Had to wash w/poo last night. Used Wheat Germ poo then DC'd w/heat w/miel y leche/jojoba/K-pak Reconstruct/JBCO mixture. Fell asleep after the heat so rinsed this morning and bunned. So soft and strong :drunk:
 
As tired as I am, I Co-washed tonight.:ohwell:

-Co-washed tonight w/ V05 Moisture Milks Strawberries & Cream:lick:
-DC'd with Vicki's Secret Amber Romance mixed w/ Black Castor oil.
-Quick ACV rinse.
-Lacio Lacio/CHI Silk as my leave-in.
-Rollerset and oil scalp w/ JBCO.

This is my last co-wash before I get my relaxer in 4 days so i need to keep my hands off my scalp.

I shouldve done a hard/light protein treatment to prepare for the relaxer but i'm just too damn tired for all that waiting...I'll do it after.

i cow'ed last night, i didn't post my other cow a few days ago.

has anyone done this:
last night i cow'ed w/ my comb, rinsed, and repeat.
b4 rinsing out my 2nd co i put my hair in mini loose puffs (twa), if you have alot more hair than me 4 puffs is cool.
under cold water (of course) i rinsed my puffs by lightly patting and squeezing my puffs and smoothing the puffs to get in between the partings with my fingers and then pat dry w/ a towel.
you can either let your hair dry while in the puffs or take them out and do your usual.

(maybe applying your usual products will help with more softness to your hair). i didn't apply anything to my hair after the cow since im in the middle of braiding but i definitely notice a difference to my hair which feels feels softer and slicker.

basically when rinsing my hair while in puffs it doesn't totally rinse all the co out of my hair but thorough enough that it's not visible when looking in the mirror.
 
I haven't started this as of yet, It just isn't warm enough for me to co-wash like I want to when the weather isn't warm enough.
 
checking in...washed with TRESemme (1x week I shampoo)
DC with Doo gro Deep Down Intense conditioner:lick:
co-washed with Vo5 Lavendar something.
Airdrying Rollerset
 
CW'd w/Silicon Mix. Didn't rinse, just squeezed out the excess. I forgot how much this stuff makes my curls pop. Loving my hair today :drunk:
 
:wallbash:

Aw man. I'm afraid I caused a minor setback.

I was scarfless friday, and skipped the co-wash that night. Saturday I applied a protein condish mixed with VO5 .. and fell asleep. And didn't rinse it out til like an hour ago.

Tangle city. I've seen worse [I think] but I had to cowash twice, and then finish out of the shower because the water went cold.

My fingers are crossed for my June 1st reveal ..

Count me in this challenge. I have loads of condish I need to use up. I hve banned myself from buying more condish until I have used up what I have!!

Did a EVOO, honey, and aloe vera condish mix on my hair last night. Let it sit w/out heat for about 2hrs. Rinse and did applied chunky twist. Hair felt really soft and looked very shiny today...

It really depends on where you live whether or not you can buy it locally or have to make an online purchase. I can get it from one of the Dominican salons I go to, there's a small BSS that I get to only when I'm in that area (Like 1.5 hr away from me), or I order online. If purchasing online, you can get it from roundbrushhair.com, beautyofnewyork.com, ibeautyny.com, sickbay.biz. The first two are my faves, but the 2nd has the lowest prices
 
Last night I didn't CO wash really (well, sort of...), but I washed my hair. Does that count?

-I put Keracare Dry & Itchy Scalp conditioner on my dry hair, and deep conditioned with a cap over my head for about 35-40 minutes.
-Then I rinsed in the shower, and shampooed with Keracare Hydrating detangling shampoo.
-Next, I put Salon Herbals Long Term Relationship conditioner in my hair and massaged it through, while combing my hair under water in the shower. (That's sort of like co-washing isn't it??) :look:
-After, I blotted my hair, and applied Salon Herbals Long Term relationship leave-in conditioner in my hair.
-Lastly, I lightly oiled, moisturized, and braided my hair all over in 8 sections.

I have a question about this "challenge". If you shampoo also during the week, does that sort of count as a "co-wash"?? Or, do you have to co-wash at least twice a week IN ADDITION to shampooing?? The reason I'm asking is because I've committed to co-washing at least twice a week, but I shampooed last night. So, does this mean that I have to still CO-wash twice this week, or can I only co-wash once this week since I already shampooed?
 
I co-washed every day last week - started with V05 Split Ends Conditioner to use up the bottle and then switched to Mane 'n Tail Deep Moisturizing Conditioner for the remainder of the week. I think I skipped Wednesday or Thursday but co-washed on Friday night. I skipped last night because there was no way I was going to be in the shower with tornadoes touching down everywhere, so I'm co-washing tonight.
 
I started this last week. I co-washed daily with V05 Passion Fruit Smoothie Conditioner. Then I left on my own concoction of conditioner. (Olive oil cholesterol, homemade rosemary and nettle tea, shea butter, and pantene conditioneer)

I co-washed this morning :)

It doesn't count if you use shampoo, you have to co wash twice in addition to your usual shampoo schedule :yep:
