4 Month Co-Washing Challenge!

[Simply_Kelz]

I've been using VO5

I'm a daily co-washer .. so this is a piece of cake for me. I did skip it Saturday though.

I do buns mostly .. today I wore a scrunched ponytail though.

During the summer .. I was gonna get my hair done every three weeks or once a month .. erplexed
So I guess I'll see how that works out ..

 

[lolo2470]

I'm in.... I already CW everyday and I use 10 en 1 conditioner.

 

[Pheonixx]

This was my plan until Aug, so I'm in too!

Question---what type of hairstyles are ya'll planning on doing with such frequent cowashing? I know there's the ever ready bun, but what else?

Well so far the only hairstyle I've been doing are braidouts.
See my big fluffy bird's nest in the siggy!
LOL.

Naw---to be perfectly honest there are styles that I just don't 'do'. And I don't 'do' buns--because I don't really have a 'bun head'. LOL.
So the whole hair pulled away from my face' look....I know my limits and my cheeks are wayyy too big for that.

 

[SunnyDelight]

I'm in too. Did mine this morning.

 

[Tarae]

I'm in! My first official challenge.

 

[mscocoface]

I have been doing this the whole month of April, trying to make that offical MBL this year.

So I am in all the way!

Keeping a very simple regimen and doing protective styles which can at times include my girlfriends (wigs, 3/4s, and/or twist extensions)

 

[malachi74]

Count me in too!

 

[I_shure_do_wish]

Ohh, count me in, I usually dont do co-washes too often and I need a change to my current regimen. So I guess this is it

 

[Forever in Bloom]

Hmmm...if I decide not to get yarn braids this summer, I will definitely do this. Otherwise, count me in!

I will be using two flavors from VO5 (Lime/Kiwi Clarifying Conditioner and Strawberries & Cream)

I've got to use up all of this WEN by the time my next shipment comes on 7/10, so I will be alternating according to my hair's needs.

....well I like your birds nest, it's very cute!

 

[Prettyeyes]

Count me in. I am in braids so this should be easy. I hope.

What will you ladies be co-washing with?

I'll be using Trader Joe's conditioner (love it!), Motions CPR (to avoid over moisturizing my hair) and prolly some of the Herbal Essences conditioners that I bought and now need to use up.

Part of the reason I started this challenge is cause I have a whole bunch of conditioners I need to use up

I have a big ol thing of Suave Naturals Coconut, a big ol thing of Tressemme, Organix Shea Butter Con, Organix Tea Tree Con, Dove Intense Moisture, Avocado Con from shescentit, some con from HairVeda, I just ordered a liter of Kenra MC, two small tubes of Redken Butter Treat, Paul Brown Alani Sport con, and I'm sure there's some more I'm forgetting about

 

[MizzBrown]

I'm still stuck on how some of yall airdrying? Relaxed 4b's in here are airdrying? And how are you taking your wet hair and putting it in a bun? You just comb your wet hair and fix it in a bun? I need pictures. Anyone got a tutorial on that?

I either bun or put my hair in a big twist/braid and clip it up on the back of my head. There are just soooo many choices *can you see the sarcasm?*

Oh wow, lol. How are the Redken and Kenra for you? I probably don't need anymore conditioner either but I have been interested in those two.

I can't help myself! 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!

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

I'm in.... unless I end up doing braids...

I'm a relaxed 4-something (I think!) and I airdry. I comb my hair back with a wide tooth comb (after I put on my leave in) and put my hair in a big bantu knot-type bun then secure with a satin scrunchie or some Good Day Hairpins. After I bun, if I have a lot of newgrowth, I'll do Sylver's scarf method with ORS Loc & Twist Gel.

 

[Puddles]

I'm in.........

My hair really needs this.

 

[DaPPeR]

Im definitely in.. I just recently got in a sew-in and its about me and my co-washing now...

 

[Daisy'sHair]

Hello Ladies!

I'm new... but not really just.

I'm going to join in on this challenge my hair needs it.
My regimen hasn't had co-washing in it since last summer
so I know I will see a difference.

 

[Cien]

checkin in! I co-washed tonight! (well...Monday night).

Well, actually I kinda cheated. almost. I'm doing my own personal nutri-ox challenge for my edges, and I have to use this bottle of poo that comes with the kit.
Only a few more washes...and I'll be done!

Anyway....afterwards, I cowashed with Mega Tek, let it sit for a few on wet hair, then applied leave-ins, rollerset--and am now sitting under this hot arse dryer!

 

[kittie43]

Hey, count me in too. I have been cowashing pretty frequently anyway so this should be easy.

 

[Chanel's Tresses]

I'm in, I pretty much do this anyway. I just co-washed last night. I will be using Trader Joes, VO5, and herbal essences.

 

[Mrs. Verde]

I'm in. I co-wash almost everyday, so this will a easy one for me.

 

[AvaSpeaks]

I'm in! Might as well start using up all this conditioner that I brought when I first started co-washing and fell off

 

[lilamae]

I'm in!!!! I'll co-wash MWF and deep condition on sundays.

 

[Simply_Kelz]

Co-washed last night and the night before that ..

 

[tiffers]

[missnurselady]
