Spring/Summer '09 Cowashing Challenge

[Shay72]

I want to cowash with my new HE stuff but I gotta get these concoctions outta my fridge. So I think I am cowashing with JASON Biotin mixed with ayurvedic herbs.

 

[Aggie]

Cowashed with CON reconstructor rebuilder for added strength.

 

[phive34]

Cowashed w/ v05 passion fruit smoothie this morning, left some in and added alil BTZ Noodlehead and Jojoba oil. Rockin' a fly wash n go. Gonna seal with a lil more oil once it dries more fully, it's still damp.

this is definitely something i should know, being that i've been here a whole dag-on year, but do you seal on dripping wet hair? i dry mine with a t-shirt then add my leave-in, should i just seal after i do that or wait some more? i'm afraid i would forget if i can't do it back to back

I just cowashed with the NTM shampoo mixed with some tea tree oil. My hair feels muuuch better now.

I made a comment a while back about not being able to commit to leaving regular updates about when I cowash so i didn't ask to join but I am always in this thread (major stalker!!)so....

Is it too late to join? I'd love to...

 

[BriBreezy]

I would like to join as well. I'm a newbie and would like to try something different and I was interested in co-washing.

 

[Odd One]

Hey! For me it all depends on what I'm doing with my hair after cowashing.

If I'm wearing a wash n go, then I'll seal while it's dripping wet then seal again once it's about 85% dry.

If I'm just doing a ponytail or bun, I'll let the tshirt absorb most of the water then add my leavein/seal with oil. HTH!!!

 

[tapioca_pudding]

Cowashed this morning w/ HE HH. Used HE LTR leave in, sealed w/ EVCO and put it in a bun. Once it's dry, I'm gonna flat iron it later this evening.

 

[MzPrince]

Co-washed last night w/ Suave's Coconut Con, luxe lhc leave-in. Avococo butter and Shikaki oil to seal. Bunned.

 

[~NanCeBoTwin~]

My hair felt yuckie yesterday after I roller set, I skipped a step by mistake in my Ayurvedic reggie so I don't know if it was that or the setting lotion but I had to get my head under some water quick...so I co washed again today and I am trying twist outs for the first time.

 

[sharentu]

dced with vitale last night , cowashed with mbc this morning.

 

[betteron2day]

dc on monday with AG moisture condish

cowashed last night with elucence

 

[LisaLisa1908]

Dang Eisani, I hate that I missed this one. I've been co-washing twice a week with VO5 Strawberries and Creme and Suave Humectant since February, and I've been washing once a month with Suave Humectant, Design Essentials Deep Cleansing, or Design Essentials Moisture Retention.

I just started deep cowashing last week with Humectress (going to do this every other week), and I'll be cowashing tomorrow with the Suave and doing an ORS pack for my DC. I'm bunning daily.

 

[lilsparkle825]

i made a discovery last night...

cowashed with HE LTR, plopped it and added my GVP leave-in...then i sealed with jojoba oil (gasp) and pulled the top half back with a clip. that sealing really did something for me, cause my hair was SO SOFT even hours later. i was always afraid sealing would leave oil dripping down my neck, but i had no drippage, probably because i had dried with the t-shirt before adding it. I LOVE IT!

 

[LaLaa]

I want to join this challenge! I will Co wash the rest of my stretch which is 4 more months. I will be relaxing in Sept. I will be Co washing with HE LTR Moisturizing with WN Moisturizing finishing lotion or S-Curl and Seal with JBCO. I will have my hair in conrows for the rest of my stretch so i hope i gain a few more inches.

 

[DDTexlaxed]

Can I join? I'm ditching twists until the fall. I'm hoping by to have more length and control over my hair. My hair seems to thrive during warm months.

 

[exubah]

So I co-washed last night with my SO's mom's conditioner cus I am in Fort Lauderdale right now and I didn't want to lug my stuff over here (Suave Color Care Conditioner..........btw she is white with bleached blonde hair) After squeezing out the excess water I put some Lacio Lacio leave-in throughout (just got it in the mail) and combed through with my new Ghair seamless comb (got it in the mail too). I then plait my hair in one and put some Jamaican black castor oil on my edges and ends of my hair yep: got dat in de mail too!). To finish up I tied my hair down with my new silk scarf yep: got dat in de..... you know where this is going!)

 

[Eisani]

On vacay, my twist ou was supposed to last 3-4 days. It lasted 1 Cowashing w/Suave Coconut and attempting another twist out this time I'll sit under the dryer.

 

[JJamiah]

I co-Washed this morning Peppermint Chamomile Tea Conditioner -- ALL GONE; NTM Deep Condition -- Almost gone! AIR DRY

 

[morehairplease]

conditioner washed Thursday after my workout. I am still trying to debate if whether or not I will be getting braids extensions within the next couple of weeks or relaxing. If I did to get braids, I plan on conditioner washing every day or every other day.

On vacay, my twist ou was supposed to last 3-4 days. It lasted 1 Cowashing w/Suave Coconut and attempting another twist out this time I'll sit under the dryer.

OT....I sat under the dryer with my 1st twist out on Thursday and I am in love, so I hope it helps your last longer...My braid outs lasted a day or so then I'd have to bun or do them over, but I'm still rocking the same twist out from Thursday and the only reason I'm redoing them over tomorrow is because it's Easter and I have to go to dinner with all of the family...

 

[lilsparkle825]

cowashed yesterday with HH. used my shower comb to detangle, which i rarely do nowadays. starting to dislike my turbie twist, but i used it anyway...added GVP leave-in and jojoba oil. then i went to take cap and gown pics with a beautiful WNG

 

[Summer79]

Right now I'm sitting here with a pretreatment of Aussie 3min, suave humectant, castor oil and honey on my head and I'm going to cowash that out later with HE LTR and seal with more castor oil.
