I wash my hair approximately every 5 days with every 4th wash being with shampoo. My hair is less dry this way and I also use an inexpensive moisturizing conditioner.
Almost every single day I do the conditioning wash. Have been doing it for one year and a half. I must because I work out alot.
I only use shampoo when I feel that I have alot of buildup. But before I think to use it, I try adding a bit of lemon to my conditoner and that is usually more than great.
My hair is alot softer and yes it shrinks up alot more but it's over all nicer than when I use shampoo. I used shampoo a few weeks ago and my hair dried up in an aweful way. Scary!!!
I wash/condition with Suave coconute and now most recently Pantene Hydrating Curls.

I wash my hair everyday. On day one I will shampoo and then condition. Day two I deep treat (alternate protein and moisture) and then condition. On day three and four I just conditioner wash. Day five I start all over. I use Jason Naturals Sea Kelp for the CO washes and Joico K-pac and Kelp Help for the deep treatments. This method ensures my hair stays clean so that the conditioner can penatrate yet is not dried out. My hair hates shampoo. HTH. -Ashley
<font color="purple"> How many times a week do you do them? I do them every night while showering.
And, how often do you use regular shampoo? I don't shampoo my hair like I used to when I began the no 'poo method. On occasion I would wash my hair once a month. Other than that, I use ACV rinse to clarify.
How have co washes benefitted your hair better than shampooing? My hair feels softer, more moisturized and is more gentle than harsh, drying shampoos. Also, I use a no drip activator spray afterwards instead of oil.
Finally what's your favorite conditioner to use for this purpose? I alternate between VO5 Strawberries and Cream Conditioner and Suave Coconut Conditioner. Next, it'll be Herbal Essences Fruit Fusions Conditioner for Normal Hair. </font>

I do con washes 4 or 5 times a week. My hair started to grow like crazy. I shampoo every 7-9 days depending on how my hair feels. I fluctuate between R&N intensive moisturing treatment (love this stuff), Motions CPR, Nexxus Humectress, LeKair Cholesterol w/Aloe (totally bailed me out of a Nexxus Emergency mishap), Nioxin Scalp Therapy, and LUST.

The first time I did a conditioner wash I didn't like it because my hair wasn't light and bouncy like it usually is, however when I shampooed my hair I had no shedding at all after shampooing and I'm pretty sure it was because of the conditioning wash I did a week before. (along with the moisturizers I use for my hair consistantly) So now I do them once a week and I shampoo once a week. I alternate like this: Shampoo this week and conditioner wash the next week and so on.
My favorite conditioner is KeraCare's Humecto.

I do conditioner washes 4-6 times a week. I use regular shampoo (Keracare detangling) once a week and when I do I usually do a deep condition with Keracare Humecto or Dudley's Hair Rebuilder.
Conditioner washes have benefitted my hair immensely! I am on week 8 of my relaxer and my hair has grown 1"-1.5". I'm not planning to relax again for another 4 weeks. My hair is a lot softer. I usually wear it in a curly ponytail or sometimes flat iron it after air drying. My favorite daily conditioners are Pantene Smooth and Sleek, Pantene Relaxed and Natural, V05 line, and Herbal Essences. I usually go for V05 since it is super cheap (97 cents).

I do conditioner washes daily, and I never use shampoo. I've been shampoo free for months
I do Apple cider vinegar rinses about once a week. Works great for me, my hair is growing out much healthier than usual. It used to be hard to grow my hair because it would get so dry, I would have to trim off all my hard earned growth. I haven't had a trim in about 6 months and my ends look great.
I use Suave Tropical Coconut and have Elucence Moisture Balancing condish on order, will begin using that once it arrives.
