verdict is in, i love the smell. i rinsed it out and added GVP leave-in but next time i will just leave some of this in so i can smell my hair all day. :lachen:

cowashed again this morning with HE LTR. i am turning into a cowash addict again...it just made bunning go so smoothly!
 
I added Aussie Deep 2 Minute Miracle to dry hair with JBCO on the ends. Placed a plastic shower cap on top. I plan to leave this in for a couple of hours then rinse before work tonight (night shift).

I'll let you ladies know how my hair feels..........
 
CW yesterday with Aussie Moist, then DC'ed and put my hair in two low ponys and braided them. My hair really likes the Aussie I think I'm starting to find my staples, which is exciting. The size of the bottle for the price isn't bad either and I like the pump makes life a lot easier.
 
I FINALLY henna'd again last night. Afterward, I shampooed (switched it up) then did 4 cowashes. I alternated between TJ Nourish Spa (twice), Suave Humectant, and HE Reconditioning which is turning into a staple. DC'd overnight. Moisturized, JBCO and put up in a clip to protect my ends. It's raining and I'm not feeling sassy :(
 
I just co-washed my hair with VO5 Nourishing COnditioner Calming Chamomile Tea mixed with JoJoba and Peppermint oil. All I can say is TINGLY TINGLY TINGLY. It feels so good; afterwards I deep conditioned with NTM. I rinsed it out, combed through and clipped it up. DONE! I popped my window open so the wind could hit my scalp, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Calgone take me away!!!!! (floating)
 
Hello fellow cowasher! :)
I cowashed two days ago with the ntm mask actually i put in my dry hair left it for a few hours and when i rinsed my hair was HARD! :nono: im disapointed!! Ill use it again but in the shower and leave it for max 10 minutes(with the steam and all. it might be better no?)

Dang i really wanna try the Aussi moist now... i need to wait for one of my current conditioner to be done before i can buy it or else that would be straight hair gluttony! :P

That Aussie Deep 2 Minute Miracle is BOSS!!! It left my hair so soft and managable!!! :lick: The smell is great, great consistency, and cost effecient.

This is now a, dare I say, STAPLE!!!

I asked DH to run and get me 2 more bottles of this right here.....:lachen:!
 
I tried V05 Blackberry & Sage tonight but don't really think it's thick enough for me but it smells WONDERFUL. I'll keep it around as a leave in however. I don't think anything beats Aussie and HE for me.
 
deep conditioned overnight last night with oyin honey hemp and co washed this morning with hello hydration.
 
Cowashed with Aussie Moist on Thursday night (felt like butta). Twisted and did a twist out until, Monday...
 
Co washed last night with Suave tropical coconut con. luxe leave-in con w/ avococo butter and shikaki oil to seal and bunned.
 
Cowashed this morning with a diluted mixture of WEN Tea Tree mixed with CON Ultra Nourish Conditioner on my freshly cornrowed hair.
 
Co-washed with a mix of Pantene and HE. Wanna finish these and move on, so using them pretty much daily / every other day.
 
After deep conditioning overnight, I shampooed, did a quick conditioner rinse, and air dried with a scarf. My hair is bone straight(which is awesome considering I am a little over 3 months post and attempting to transition). Hopefully, by the end of the month I will have braid extensions and be able to cw even more without have to worry about the knots my hair forms when been manipulated too much.
 
I co-washed 3 times this past week (not planned). I put a lot of -cone containing products in my hair last Sunday in preparation for my tension blow-dry and while still soft my hair looked dull. My Wednesday co-wash with my A-vedic mix didn't get all of the -cones out. So, on Thursday, I soaked my hair with Cowboy Magic Demineralizing conditioner and let it sit for 30 min under a plastic cap. My hair felt and looked a lot better after I rinsed it out. On Friday, I wanted to try the Cherry Lola treatment so I co-washed with my Avedic mix to get rid of the Lustrasilk Cholesterol I used as a leave-in. Surprisingly, my hair responded well to the frequent co-washing. I didn't have any excessive breakage or shedding. Now that the weather is getting warmer I'm look forward to more co-washing sessions. BTW, I just co-washed again today with my Avedic co-wash in preperation for my weekly moisturizing/protein DC.

What is the Cherry Lola Treatment?
 
About to jump in the shower and cowash now, not sure what I'm using yet, maybe Moist ConditionPro.
 
cowashed on 4/2 (above post)
cowashed again friday evening, had a great WNG from leaving in HH and adding aloe vera gelly
cowashed again saturday with HH and did ANOTHER WNG...they are sooooo nice and soft with the HH and AV gelly. i like it better than the ecostyler gel i bought the other day.
 
Update- My hair is doing great, I'm in braids and my new growth is super soft. Ladies I believe that I am now an official cowashing junkie.
 
FAIL!!! How come ain't no hot water?! I just finished laundry so I'm hoping that's it and not the heating coil thingy or whatever it's called! Lawdy.
 
Cowashed last night with my beloved Jojoba Hair One- followed with a shot of So Sexy Nourishing Conditioner- this has awesome, awesome slip btw.
 
Sorry guys been busy.
Cowashed with my hello hydration, alma, brahmi, and methi mixed Friday.
Today I henna and dc with Hair One Jojoba.:grin::grin:
 
i think i might be cowashing too much? my hair feel kinda stiff when wet...

or maybe i need a good clarifying job... i heard that ORS creamy aloe shampoo was clarifying but i highly doubt that it is...

Try adding a few drops of Extra Virgin Olive Oil to your conditioner it softened up my quite a bit!
