Relaxed Co-Washers...

[MizaniMami]

How long have you ever went with JUST co-washing without shampooing?

My hair felt so good with no breakage whatsoever from co-washing. I think I want to do this more and shampoo less. My hair felt so strong and moisturized.

I know there are instances where the hair can get mushy and needs to be shampooed and I am cool with that. What are your experiences?

I used to do straight co washes but my hair got too soft. Now I use a light shampoo and concentrate on the areas where I use gel.

Hey, I'm interested in your Aveda damage Remedy stuff. Where can I get me some?

I co-wash quite a bit(for me, its every day that I work out). For me the key is to use a very thin conditioner, and one that isn't likely to be too moisterizing. Nexxus Ensure is very thin and good for that as well as its quite a good detangler too.

Depending on my hair needs I may use my normal conditioner afterwards. If not then I just go to my normal styling routine.

I do one CW a week and one shampoo a week. I may increase my CW up to two a week and wear wash-n-go's. I like how my hair feels with CW.

I recently started doing this consistently: I shampoo once a week and deep condition my hair... the rest of the week i alternate between rinsing and co washes.

I stopped cowashing for awhile but now that warm weather is here I'm going to start back doing it once a week. My hair grows alot faster when I cowash.

I like con washing alot too, but don't get to do it regularly without my Mom flipping out. Anyway, I think either shampooing or other cleansing ( baking soda, acv rinse, or lemon juice with con) once a week will save you from buildup.

 

[Miss*Tress]

I use shampoo about once every 4-6 weeks. The water here is very hard, so I need all the moisture I can get plus I don't use any styling products whatsoever.

I used to co-wash once a week, and then shampoo once a week, but now that the weather is warmer, I think I'm going to up to two co-washes per week along with 1 shampoo.
