More questions about co-washing...please help

[CookieLAD]

I so love straight hair, so is conditioner washing wishful thinking for me? I can't spend hours dealing with my hair afterward, so I need some ideas. Roller setting would take way too much time, and I could try drying using the ponytail method, but how do I get rid of the big dents without using heat? Or do I need to learn how to do and love hair with texture (braidouts, or twistouts), or wear buns?

Also, I've tried this before, (using VO5, Suave & Herbal Essence) but my 3C/4A hair was not impressed with any of these conditioners...need help here too!

I'd like to start co-washing at least twice per week and shampooing once per week.

Maybe you could compromise, 1 week cowashes the other straight hair.

Maybe you could try braidouts and twistouts and try another conditioner. You can also start wrapping your hair for the straight style.

When I first started airdrying using the ponytail method I had the dents also, what helped me was taking off the ponytail holder once my roots had dried straight. I no longer have the dents since I started doing this. Give it a try.

What about trying Sylver2's method. She puts her hair in a ponytail and rollersets the length of the ponytail with a handful of rollers. I use this method a lot myself. Your roots come out straight, the length has some body but it's relatively straight.

Some people also use a stocking/pantyhose as a ponytail holder when doing the ponytail method and I think this hepls with the dent.

I started doing what Serenity Breeze does she let's her hair airdry and then rolles it on Caruso rollers it works out pretty good!!!
