Just tried cowashing for the first time last nite and guess what?? I loved it lol. My new growth felt sooooo much better. I could actually detangle a lot easier as well. I used VO5 moisture milks in the strawberries and cream and i must say this cheapie is now a staple for me :P
 
^^^The V05 and Suave conditioners were always my fav cowashing choices! Did their job, provided great slip, smelled yummy :lick: and CHEAP!!!
 
Just clarified and conditioned in preparation for a cassia treatment followed by a dc. I haven't clarified in months maybe six months or so. It was time.

I did sprayed ny hair down, sectioned it, coated the it with olive oil and then scrub my scalp with clarify shampoo. I then got in the shower rinse with tj tea tree tingle and I must save my scalp feels clean, my hair was soft and no dryness!
 
I'm DC for a hour, 30 min of it w/ heat. I'm DC with a new conditioner, Elasta QP soy deep conditioner. If it turns out ok, I will increase the DC time to overnite the next time I cowash.

I just did my scalp massage with jbco and essential oils then moisturizer with SE MegaSilk leave in cream (I live this stuff) sealed in evoco
 
Braids are getting fuzzy and frizzy already. This is the only thing I hate about cowashing my braids.

Sent from my Android...Boom.
 
I don't feel like doing my hair today AND I have run out of most of my staples AND I don't feel like going to get to done! Just having a lazy Saturday and trying to get some rest...hmmm what shall I do?

Me too! I'm gonna have my son practice taking my update pics since he always ends up taking a oic of the floor or the ceiling, hopefully by Oct 31st he'll be a pro.
 
my hair feels dry. i didn't moisturize yesterday and my scarf was all over the place and not protecting anything. i get i will do a oil prepoo treatment and wash. but i don't know if i will have time. i should have done it an hour ago. my DS has a game at 9am and my DD has practice at 10am. it's 7am now. i have been up washing clothes and watching Hoarders TLC. i think i will just warm up the oil, add it in, and then wash. but i still will have to detangle and air dry my hair. i sitll gotta wake up Baby girl and do her hair. i am going to wake them up right now. ok time to get off the lhcf!

have a great morning ladies!

Yay! I was like that yesterday, I didnt wanna do anything to my hair. But after I was done, I was pleased with the results. Having healthy hair is definitely a commitment.

NikkiQ - I could never pull off cowashing braids. My hurr is frizz city. Regardless how moisturized it is, those little hairs get to standing up and sliding out :lol: I hope you can find a solution for yours :)
 
^^I used to cowash my Celies and twists with a stocking cap/wig cap on. It helped a little, but they still ended up fuzzy after a while.
 
I'm the opposite of a PJ. I actually ran out of DC! Can you believe that?!? I spent like an hr looking for my capilo miel y leche (the last one I had) so it must be gone too. Smh lol

Just bought a bottle of ORS Replenishing and some dry shampoo to try out to see if I can keep my hair straight a little longer and put off the wash.

Hmm, never thought of the stocking cap idea before...

So I went to Sally's this morning and got the Ion Hard Water Shampoo. I was going back and forth between that and Roux PC. But the cashier personally recommended the Ion. I also got the Aphogee Two Step Protein Treatment. Gosh, that crap stinks. I washed my hair soon as I got home and I'm currently sitting here with the moisturizer on my hair (in a baggy) not sure when I want to rinse out.

ETA: Left it on for about 30-45 minutes. Rinsed, applied Dove Intensive Repair Moisture Conditioner. I'll leave this on for at least an hour.

Sorreeeeeeee I am s000000oooooooooooo late in posting my APL September 30, 2012 Length Check pitchas!

First I want to say CONGRATULATIONS to all the amazing ladies who have made APL if I missed it :clapping:

@Firstborn2 I just arrived to this page and can't help giggle on Big Bird hitting hard times!!! :lol: I cannot believe Romney blurted out he would "cut PBS funding" this program series educated most of America's generations into the late 20th Century! Especially those of us spawned into the 80's. I felt like grabbing my blanky when he said that! Putting us all back in pacifiers! LOL!!! Poor Big Bird! :lol:

Here are my updated photos:
1. first photo is how I now section my hair into 8 two-strands twists with 4 on each side. I started with 2 then up to 6 earlier this year. As I continue to use Organic Coconut Oil (OCO) and R&B Hair Moisturizer my hair is thickening from top to ends!
2. that's me doing a pull strand test with one arm! A little more practice and I can be a gymnast :spinning:
3. here's a close up shot of my hair see how the ends are growing thicker now! LOVE IT!

Let's do this ladies! APL and BSL and BEYOOOOOOOOND!!!!
