(naturals) Do you cowash everyday or 5 days a week?

[pureebony]

If so what has it done for your hair?

And what is your hair routine including cowashing, deep conditioning protien treatments etc

Thanks! xx

I cowash just about everyday so I don't really dc regularly.

 

[pureebony]

what do you notice as the benifits of doing this?

 

[Tylove101]

I cowash or water-only wash daily and my hair loves it. I try to DC once a week -- I usually DC overnight.
What has it done for my hair? For me, it keeps it soft and moisturized.

For those of you all that cowash that often, do you still moisturize and seal daily too?

How often do you detangle?

 

[ThickHair]

Wow, if I did that on a daily basis I wouldn't have time for nothing else. I nopoo once a month and my hair loves it and so do I. I am also a no oil\no product person. The only time I put produce in my hair is to nopoo, that is it.

 

[curlicarib]

I co-wash, at most, twice a week - daily would be too much for my hair and just plain time consuming.

 

[yardyspice]

I detangle once or twice per week and I do moisturize and seal. I just learned about sealing and I think it's what has made a difference in keeping my hair feeling soft all day. BTW I cowash and then bun.

Seven Days A Week for me.

 

[DMJ's Mom]

I cowash on the days that I work out so most weeks its 5 days a week. It seems to help me retain more

 

[Foufie]

I cowash about 5 times a weeks or a little less if I miss a workout. Then I just moisturize and seal at night.

I co-washed for the 2nd time and my hair loved it. I co-washed once with Mane & Tail and again with V05 Strawberries and Cream then rinsed. I tried something extremely different yesterday too with the dc'ing. I'm looking for minimal loss of hair when I detangle. (I only comb once a week) This time, I looked at all of my products and grabbed an empty jar and began mixing: Elasta QP DPR 11, Elasta QP Mango Butter, ION Extreme Moisturizing Condish, Neutrogena Triple Moisturizing Condish, Roux Moisturizer Recovery Pack, Silk Elements, evoo and honey. I left this concoction on my hair for 40 minutes while sitting under the hair dryer. I rinsed my well-moisturized hair (felt really, really good) and sprayed with DOO Grow Detangling spray. Last week when I co-washed, I lost about a thin layer, index finger to thumb circle full of hair. This time when I detangled, I lost a nickel size of hair, not even. I'm not sure if I would make this a routine but it was worth experimenting.

I cowash every day. It keeps my hair super moisturized. Every 2 weeks or so I do my ayurvedic hair care and deep conditon. I finger comb in the shower every day.

i do in the summers, but this summer i probably won't because i am trying a low-mani regimen now. i retained fine (i suppose) and my hair was soft, moisturized and always smelled good, but i seem to retain more just washing 2x a week max. it may be because i was wearing WNGs everyday as opposed to wet bunning or something though, and thus had to detangle more. i DID discover my favorite cowash conditioners though...i used to be a strictly VO5 strawberries and creme girl, then i moved to suave tropical coconut, and this past summer i discovered the joys of herbal essences hello hydration and aussie moist. i keep huge bottles of each on hand just in case i get the urge to cowash.

I co-wash in cornrows , at least once a week, but no more than that......just to keep my hair soft and moisturised til my next wash.... i wash once evry 14 days
i deep condition 1-2 times a month, and i use keratin and green tea reconstructor if my hair needs some protien.. the aphogee 2 step is too strong. i have fine 4a strands and it doesnt take alot of moisture/or protien to get the job done.

 

[pureebony]

i was wondering can you still use ayurvedic powders on your hair even though they are out of date?

 

[Fhrizzball]

I take a shower without a shower cap but with my hair up so my hair gets moisture that way. Cowashing gave me too much manipulation. I DC or cowash once a week and poo every two to 3 weeks followed by a good DC. I really need to do a protein treatment (mayo and eggs did nothing for me) but everything so far has cones and polyquats which do more harm than good for my hair especially since I use non harsh shampoos.

 

[NikStarrr]

I co-wash once a week. 2 times tops. I'm on a low-mani program (braidouts and twistouts)--which has helped me to retain a lot of growth. Plus, co-washing daily for me was too drying and too much manipulation.

 

[Vashti]

I co wash twice a week and DC once a week. I'm using mayo mixed with Renpure Organics Pomegranate conditioner this time. The Renpure condish is a new product for me so I'll find out how it works out this week. I use ORS Olive Oil hair Lotion as a daily daytime moisturizer.

These days I DC with Queene Helene's cholesterol mixed with raw honey. I comb with a wide toothed comb 5 days a week because my hair loves to knot and loc up if I don't. I only finger comb my hair after a DC and also the day after the DC. I'm finding that this regimen keeps my hair hydrated and moisturized throughout the week and I no longer lose hair in my comb.

Ditto. I love co-washing though, in the summer i co-wash 3 times a week

 

[lushlady]

In the summertime I do. Sometimes I think it makes my hair too soft. Then I will wash it with shampoo.

Too much manipulation for my hair is not a good thing...Everytime I cowash, that means detangling and the risk of losing more hair than necessary. It doesn't work for me.
