COWASH CHALLENGE THREAD Part 4 (October 1-December 31, 2012)- FINAL PART FOR 2012!!

[SincerelyBeautiful]

Getting ready to leave work finally lol. Will co wash tonite and follow with a DC for about thirty min under my hooded dryer. I may DC on dry hair first then proceed to co wash afterwards, let air dry using the scarf method, then moisturize and seal. Anyone else DC on dry hair???

Cowashed with TJ's Nourishspa tonight then put my hair in four braids to air dry. At $3 bucks a bottle, it works so well!

Daily cowashers: How are you dealing with tangles? I cowashed 3x last week and my detangling session for my wash was a nightmare...any pointers?

I actually have less tangles when I cowash daily.

Yeah, I am going to actually try combing the conditioner through my hair during the cowashes and braiding my hair up afterwards instead of just putting it in a bun.

Co-washed with V05 freesia after an overnight oil soak. Then I applied SM DC and have had it sitting on my head for about 1.5-2 hours now. I also spritzed my hair with coffee about half an hour ago and put my baggy back on to process the DC and coffee. Will rinse soon!

Co-washed with CJ Smoothing Conditioner.

My hair is in braids (so I don't experience tangles right now) but when I would have my hair out, I would smooth the conditioner down the length of my hair, and make sure I rinsed out under running water to decrease tangling. The plan you have to place your hair in braids after cowashing sounds like a good plan too!

I love, love, love DCing on dry hair. I found that I am more efficient with getting the conditioner in all the right spots when my hair is dry. I get less tangles at the end too, I typically use this approach when DCing.

Checking In:

... Cowashed with Everyday Shea this morning, sealed with Vaseline, and my hair is poppin! I am becoming a fan of daily cowashing for sure. It is especially easy for me since I have my hair in mini braids; hopefully I can keep this up for the rest of this challenge ...

Cowashed with AORM also, tea, oil and aloe rinsed.

 

[DaiseeDay]

Co-washed with Vo5 Kiwi Lime and it actually did feel cleansing, not as much as the As I Am Coconut Co-Wash (which I found a little too cleansing for everyday).

I then conditioned with a V05 Moisture Milk mixed with GVP Conditioning Balm - my hair feels awesome!

I DC 1x a week for 5-10 mins after using the cleansing conditioner. This keeps my hair in balance without tipping over into the too much moisture side.

Re: COWASH CHALLENGE THREAD Part 4 (October 1-December 31, 2012)- FINAL PART FOR 2012

okay yall my condition washing has definitely not been on the schedule i intended haha. ive been doing it more often than just twice a week. so, how about we just say i will condition wash when i feel like it? never know what a week will bring lol

i think my hair is in need of a cleansing...might have to break out one of my shampoo bars. looks like my hair starts to need cleansing around 1.5 weeks...was hoping i'd be able to go longer. i usually never went more than a week without a cleansing...thought i'd try it anyway haha.
