i finally ran out of all my aubrey products. they were getting a little expensive to keep cowashing with. i'm going to try out herbal essences hello hydration and garnier fructis fortifying cream conditioner. i revisited he ltr as a leave-in under my carol's daughter healthy hair butter and its a winner once again.
 
I flipped the script a bit. Still did my oil prepoo (amla, brahmi, shikakai, bhringraj, coconut, rosemary eo, lavender eo) then washed my hair w/Swastik Shikakai bar w/marigold and hibiscus :lick: dc'ing overnite w/Pantene Breakage Defense and JBCO. Will cowash in the mornin unless my hair is feelin too good.
 
I co-washed on Friday with Aveeno Nourish & Revitalize Conditioner. I actually love it. Then I did a leave in and detangled. I hardly had any hairs in the comb.
 
Still co-washing, but I am trying to use up my cheapie conditioners. I have been using my Salon Care Honey and Almond Conditioner with good results. This gallon of conditioner lasts a very loooong time.
 
Cowashed this morning w/Hairveda MCP. Moisturized w/ORS Olive Oil Hair Lotion and sealed w/Vatika/almond/jbco mixture. Disrespectful softness right about now!! Loves it.
 
yesterday I did an all day DC with raw honey, cinnamon, Mane & Tail conditioner just to see if it would change the color at all. My DH said it did but I think he's crazy. I washed it out last night with Sauve Humectant sealed with my beloved castor oil. Like I said not sure about the color change but WOW my hair feels happy today!!!!
 
CoWashed on Sat with VO5 Passion Fruit Smoothie mixed with peppermint EO and my GG oil. I used KCKT, my moisture mix and coconut oil to do a braid out and my hair felt really soft and was really shiny. I may start mixing oils into my cowash condishes more often.
 
Cowashed today with HE LTR Conditioner and a little VO5 Strawberries and Cream Moisture Milk.

My hair feels great. Moisturized with SCurl and Wave Noueveau. Sealed with Hairveda Cocasta Shikaikai Oil. Air drying in a loose ponytail. Loving it all!!!
 
I cowashed today with Sauve smoothie somthing (forget the name) anyhow, I air dried with Kids Organics, and sealed with jojoba oil.....hair feeling FAAAABBBB...
 
DC'd on dry hair with ORS Replenishing Con mix (+coconut oil and pepper mint oil + a little evoo), rinsed out with HE 'It's a Curl Thing', Leave in - Nexxuss headdress+coconut oil. Airdried in a ponytail for 30 minutes and let hair down till it was completely dry.

Hair's doing good... Next cowash is on Thursday.
 
cowashed last night with hello hydration. it was my first time but i LOVE it. deep cowashing tonight with aussie deeeep.
 
I co-washed last night with Trader Joe's Nourish Spa Conditioner (my staple) and Giovanni's Tea Tree Conditioner mixed with Alma Powder.
 
I was hoping this challenge would narrow down my condishes but I'm figuring out my hair must love conditioners. I am putting myself on conditioner restriction. I do have 2 coupons that I have to use then I'm good. No need to buy any at least until maybe fall or even the end of the year. I'm running out of room!!!

My hair loves for cowashing:
Hairveda's Moist 24/7 (staple) and Moist PRO
AOHSR & GPB
JASON's Biotin
Patene's Nature Fusion
Aussie Moist
A few of the Herbal Essence condishes
TJ's Nourish Spa

Still to try for cowashing that I already own:
Shescentit Honey Rinse Condish
Two Shikai condishes
Aveeno's new hair stuff (samples)

Aiight for cowashing:
V05 condishes--I will use them up and not purchase again.
Nutrine garlic--will use up but I think my ayurvedic powders will serve that purpose

There are some others I want to try but I need to at least wait until 6 months before purchasing anything else.

Eisani--you are my inspiration for this!
 
I'm co washing as I type this, heres how I co wash:


I sprayed my hair with my moisture mix which contains:

Aloe Vera Juice

Rose Water

Glycerin

And all my favorite Oils


Then I applyed my V05 conditionder to my hair in sections ,from ends on up.

Seal my conditioner with a oil such as coconut oil ,olive oil,or jojoba oil, today I used coconut oil.

Massage my scalp.

Put on my plastic cap, let sit for 3 hours, rinse, style as desired.

5:00pm I'm washing my conditioner out.

I treat my co wash like DC.​


:yep::yep::yep:​
 
So I cowashed with HSR, my hair soaked that stuff up and I have fine hair! When I washed it out it felt ok, nothing major. I did a braid out with kccc and my scalp has been itchy! Im taking my graduation pics tomorrow so I'm washing this out today or early tomorrow so that my hair is fresh.
 
cowashed today with giovanni deeper moisture conditioner followed by 3 minutes of aphogee 2 minute conditioner. my hair feels lovely.
 
sitting with my Maka, Brahmi and Amla mix now, cowashing with V05 Moisture Milks Passion Fruit Smoothie(as usual, LOL) Aussie Moist for the first time then DC'ing with Kera Care Humecto....I'll twist tonight for a twist out in the morning.

ETA: Alright now Aussie Moist, like I really needed to add another conditioner to my shelf, but this stuff is GGGRRRREAT! I knew I was in trouble the minute I put it on my hair.

So I wasn't feeling well today after some food poisoning or something yesterday....I did not have enough energy to go to work today but I did have enough energy tonight to co-wash though :look:

I conditioned on dry hair with a mixture of Shikai everyday conditioner, honey and coconut oil for about 10 minutes. Rinsed out and co-washed with V05 moisture milks passion fruit smoothie. I am currently airdrying in a single plait after adding Lacio Lacio leave-in and I also sealed my ends with JBCO. When I am fully dry I will add NTM Silk Creme and reapply JBCO to my ends.
