COWASH CHALLENGE 2012 PART II- April 1-June 30, 2012

[Nix08]

^^^ I should go and read that thread because I am curious to know what a clarifying conditioner does as well.

Ogoma I used mine last night and it was good (it did leave a clean feel) but as I had it in my hair I went over the ingredients again and mine has dimethicone, that's why I had put it aside to begin with. Online I don't see dimethicone listed so I don't know what's up. It didn't feel like a silicone heavy product though....

co-washed today

 

[MaraWithLove]

Co-washed three times this week:
Mon, Wed and today. I find that all my co-wash conditioners have their own purposes. For moisturizing I definitely like the Aloe, lemon and Rosemary conditioner best. Claudie's mango rinse is good to kind of 'set' my curl and firm my hair up before styling. I also really like the clarifying conditioner. They're all good so far.

 

[Diva_Esq]

[greenandchic]

Friday I cowashed with my Curl Junkie Daily Fix. I know its a cleansing conditioner, but I needed to get some butter out of my hair and regular conditioner wasn't going to cut it.

I always count my Cleansing Conditioners as a Cowash or Co-Cleanse.

Since it's not a Shampoo.

Cool! I though because it has a cleanser, it was off-limits. Thanks!
