Cowashed and wet bunned today with HE LTR...and even though I intended to, I don't think I rinsed it all out, because I kept smelling raspberries while I was teaching this evening.
 
Get out of here! I did a paste last night of amla, brahmi, maka, and a smidge of shikakai. Cowashed w/HV Moist 24/7 and Sitrinilla, dc'd w/Pantene R&N mixed w/CoCasta, castor, and Avosoya oil. I even twisted last night for a twist out this morning too :grin:!

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.

Oh ok! Please keep me posted on how it is going I am stretching for 4 months (never done that before), so any hits/hints would be great!
 
i deep conditioned overnight last night with curl junkie hibiscus and banana deep fix and just used the water to reactivate it and my hair felt so good. until i used the hibiscus and banana honey butter. that and the coffee coco curl cream is going in the trash tonight.
 
Has anyone tried adding epsom salt to their conditioner? I did this today. I mixed in 3 Tbs each of conditioner and epsom salt, heated it up in the microwave for 25 seconds and added it to my hair. I kept it in without heat covered with a plastic cap for a few minutes, then cowashed it out. I am 13 weeks post my last relaxer and I tell you, my hair detangled like a breeze.

I finished off with a very cold ACV rinse. I will be doing this again after I wash out my henna treatment which is sitting on my hair right now. I will be sleeping with it in overnight and washing it out in the morning:yep:. I'll update later
 
Wed night applied bhringraj oil on scalp and hair.
Thurs: Rinsed with D'Fina 11 en 1 rinse followed by Giovanni's 50:50 conditioner; applied something that I can't remember :lachen: and air-dried in a bun

I did this once but I used only 1 Tbs and I didn't notice a benefit. So I didn't do it again. Now I'm thinking I didn't use enough Epsom salt so I'm going to try it again with 3Tbs to see if that's better.
 
i co washed today with he totally twisted. man i love that stuff. im going to use it as a leave in and see how that works out.
 
I feel weird I haven't cowashed since last week. I've been busy this week and haven't had time. I'm still wearing my braid out (day 2). I'll be joining you ladies again with the cowashing on sunday with yes to carrots condish.

What happened? Girl u better hop to that exchange forum, lol
 
Cowashed this morning with Ion reconstructor for strength, mixed with Elucence MB, and Suave Refreshing Waterfall mist conditioners for moisture.
 
Doing my ayurvedic HOT right now. Y'all ate making it hard for me to choose what to cw with, everything sounds yummy today. I guess I'll decide once I get in the bathroom.
 
Prepoo'd with EVOO, cowashed with Suave Humectant, tried Henna Gloss for the 1st time (3 tbsps of henna, keracare dry and itchy scalp con (trying to get rid of this so decided to use for henna glosses), coconut oil, honey, and water) for 1.5 hours, rinsed out with Organix coconut oil conditioner and DC'd with Keracare Humecto... Leave-in - giovanni direct leave in.

Henna Gloss is a keeper for me :-) My hair feels good...

I will be cowashing with ayurvedic powders mixed with Shescentit's Honey Conditioning Cream Rinse.
 
Cowashed earlier w/EMB. Used HE Totally Twisted cond as a leave in along w/a lil ORS Olive Oil Moisturizer then sealed w/jbco & Vatika oil. Put it in a banana clip where it'll stay for the next couple days. It's so soft and lush :grin: I really think I owe that to my ayurvedic HOT's and paste treatment a few days ago.
 
cowashed with Aussie Moist, then used my Denman to brush it up into a wet bun. i left ALL the conditioner in, so i am hoping it works like a DC without a cap since I am leaving it in all day...and sitting on my patio in 90 degree weather. LOL

Update to yesterday's cowash:

Okay so as I said yesterday, I cw'd w/EMB then scrunched the HE Totally Twisted into my wet hair, added ORS Olive Oil Moisturizer in 4 sections, sealed w/JBCO and Vatika oil then put it in a banana clip. Fast forward to this afternoon, I took out the banana clip, gave my hair a shake and my curls are SOOOOO well-defined :grin: Touchably soft and dizzy spirally curls. I'll be doing this again to make sure the results weren't a fluke but if I get the same results, these will become my staple products for wash n go's!!
 
I co-washed earlier with HE LTR, dang that stuff is great. My roommate made me organize all my hair products (in my room mind u) and I totally forgot it was there, gotta give her a shout out cus my hair feels nice and silky. I put some miss jessies baby buttercreme in it then I put it in 4 cornrows with the curly meringue and i sealed with jojoba. I'm trying to let it dry stretched from now on, I'm noticing less and less knots, thank the Lord.
 
Still cowashing almost daily. Usually with Aussie Moist, Herbal Essences Hydralicious Conditioner, or Tresemme, and my new growth is loving this! Love this challenge!
