Eisani:

What is EMB?

Cowashed yesterday with Yes to Carrots, then porosity control, then my DC mix with added protein (my AOHSR comes today:grin:). Extra soft hair!! Used KCKT, Garnier Sleek & Shine mix, and my moisture mix as a leave in, sealed with Coconut oil. Wearing a half up half down braid out (had surgery with the students hair has to be out of my face) that is very soft but I don't think it dried completely since I'm losing the pattern already. Have to try this mix again and let my hair dry more. I think it may be a keeper.

EMB= Elucence Moisture Balance
 
I haven't been posting like I did during last summer's challenge but I am still cwing at least 2 -3 x per week, using Redken Smooth Down con and finishing with BT, Aveda nourishing concentrate and a little almond oil. My hair feels LUSH! :lick:
 
i co washed all this weekend. i used totally twisted saturday and sunday but today i used trader joes and i loved it. it was my first time using it but i loved it the same as my giovanni deeper moisture and i even used it as a leve in. i think i will start to buy this in bulk instead of giovanni because its like $7 cheaper with more for your money.
 
I cowashed with Sauve Cirtus Smoothie, i finished this bottle, so I will be buying another cowasher. I already have Suave Tropical Coconut, and NTM Deep Conditioner. I think i might go with VO5 just not sure!! Choices choices!!
 
Going to cowash tonight not sure with what (V05 passion fruit oil mix or Aussie Moist) I'll have to see when I get in the shower. The rain is messing up my braid out so I'm going to cowash and wet bun until it stops raining. How I love April showers:look:.

ETA: Cowashed with Aussie Moist (love the bubble gum smell) and sealed it with Castor Oil. Still have it in my hair cause I was rushing and couldn't do my freezing cold water rinse. Probably rinse and bun in the morning.

Really looking forward to cowashing tonight... I can't believe that less than 4 months ago, I wasn't cowashing and now I cowash 3 times a week! I thought 2 times would be the maximum for me but 3 weeks of cowashing 3 times a week has been so good to my hair. Can't wait for summertime, I'll be cowashing most days.

Thanks so much for starting this challenge Eisani :-) And of course - thanks to all the ladies who I have learned from in here.

I have not been able to co-wash because I have a sprained shoulder. My hair has been in twists for about two weeks; oh how I miss the water on my scalp. On a lighter note, my hair appears to have grown about 1/2 inch:yay:. Sorry, I did not take any pics.:perplexed
 
Congrats on your growth, sorry about your shoulder :(

Cowashed this morning w/EMB. Used HE TT as a leave in and put it in a banana clip.
 
After poo'ing with my shikakai bar. I cowashed with V05 passion fruit and Aussie Moist. DC'ing with Kera Care Humecto, probably gonna airdry and bun.

sorry to hear about your shoulder sweetie.

I cw this morning with my DT/WR mix.
 
DC'd on dry hair with ORS Replenishing con mix (+coconut and peppermint oils), rinsed out with Herbal Essences 'It's a Curl Thing' (just realised it's called Totally Twisted in the U.S.) and cowashed one more time with it. My hair was so soft and detangled :-)
Leave-in - Giovanni Direct, put hair up in a ponytail to airdry for 30 minutes then taking down to dry as much as possible before going to sleep.
 
i co washed today with totally twisted and trader joes nourish spa. love this combo. that totally twisted is so addictive im tryna tell ya.
 
i have not updated in foreeeeever

i cut my hair really short last week

and so i'm condition rinsing more often now
pretty much everyday.

because i'll be wearing my hair pretty much "as is"
for a while

using aubrey organics conditioners and vo5 strawberries and cream
 
OK, went to CVS today during my lunch break, the conditioner i chose was......VO5 Black Berry Sage Tea. :) I picked it coz it was 99 cents and it smelt yummy!

So now i have THREE conditioners i am using to cowash, Sauve Tropical Coconut, NTM Daily Deep Condish and the VO5. I am ready to use the first two up now so i can try out a different brand.

i have the blackberry sage conditioner but i have yet to use it. i hate that its not half as thick as the moisture milks but in that case it may be great as a leave in, and you're right. it does smell good.

No kidding. I originally bought it for dd. She "let" me use it and I'm in love.

I am so tempted to buy more, bit I'll wait. I still have 3 bottles of Sunsilk Captivating Curls to use plus 3 bottles of the gel & cream twist that goes with it. It's hard though because someone has the big bottles for $5 this week...

Thanks, hon!
 
Co-washing and deep conditioning every other day and my hair just loves it! Using HEHH and the purple twist one and AO HSR most times. Easy does it!
 
Last nite I cowashed w/ HE HH then did a flexi rod set.

Getting my touchup this weekend so I won't be cowashing for at least a week or so.
 
cowashed with hello hydration this morning. i added a mix of he ltr leave-in and my garnier fructis leave-in and made the prettiest damp bun. i'll take it down tonight to add my moisturizer and seal with oil. i may start morning cowashing...
 
Deep conditioning now with Lanza's ulitmate treatment co and strength power booster for 30 min. I plan on shampooing and doing a quick rinse out/cw with my Designer Touch/White Rain conditioner combo once in the shower.
