I think i should join this challenge.....i need to start getting back regular with my co-washing again. Last year i co-washed 2 to 3 times a week and it really helped with growth and kept my scalp healthy and happy.

There aren't a bunch of rules, that's why there isn't much in the first post :yep:. Simply cowash for 6 months consistently, however many times per week you deem appropriate for your hair and schedule and check in with what you used and how your hair responded. That's it!

OK, now that I see this, I'm signing up! :grin:
I'm what some would call a conditioner connoisseur :look:
Well, my husband isn't one of those who would call me that though
He's more like "What is this? More conditioner?" :lachen:
Anyway,
I'm in.
It's still pretty chilly in this area, but I'm going to commit to at least once a week.

:bighug: Good! I don't like a lot of rules, so I wasn't about to add a bunch of stuff for me to rebel against my damn self. Get to cowashing, girlie!
 
co washed this morning with totally twisted. my hair is soooooooooooo soft right now but i give that credit to my curls milkshake and whipped cream.
 
Prepooed with coconut oil, went for a spin class (steam, hot oil treatment, lol), applied aphogee 2 minute reconstructor on dry (sweaty, oily) hair.
In the shower, I rinsed out, cowashed with Herbal Essences HH. Leave in = Giovanni Direct Leave In. Airdried my hair down with an alice band because I showered at the gym.

My hair's good, almost dry... not doing a braidout as planned, too lazy.

Next cowash will be on Sunday... my scalp and hair seem to be doing okay. I haven't shampoo washed in 2 weeks... I'll probably do so soon.
 
I'm still daily co-washing, and still using my Suave Coconut conditioner and HE Hello Hydrogen in routation with my Trader Joe's Norish Spa. I have some updated pictures in my fotki!
 
Co washed Tuesday and today with V05 moisture milks, suave humectant and garnier fructise......on Tuesday I just airdried, today I only really cowashed so I could detangle before going to the shop for my rollerset and press.....since I've never stretched this long I didn't want my stylist (whom I love) to detangle simply because I know I won't hurt my hair too much (i'm a bit paranoid)....
 
Can I just say that I love this challenge. I have a TON of NG. Because I know that I will be cowashing I do not hesitate to push myself when working out.

You know how when you exercise and you don't want to give it your all, cause you don't want to mess up your hurr, lol. Now I PUSH myself, the more I sweat the better cause I know I get to choose one of my 50-11 conditioners and treat myself to a cowash.

Last night I used my Aussie Deep for a cowash that was the 1st time that I used that for a cow- I loved it. I have found another great conditioner for cowashing- yay.
 
i did a HOT last night overnight with avocado and vatika oil and then this morning i co washed with my devacurl one condition mix that included honey avocado and castor oil. today i added more honey, avocado oil, castor oil and EVOO. i love this mix. i left some in as well.
 
cowashed yesturday with aussie deeeep after the gym... feels so great!!!

Cowashing is saving my strech like no other!! ive never went for more then 4weeks now it feels like even at 11 weeks post i could go for 10 more!!(but i wont haha)

I think you will love it. Even better than regular Aussie Moist is the Aussie Deep 3 Minute Miracle Conditioner in the purple bottle. Leaves hair so soft and managable.

That stuuf is the truth :yep:. E. Williams told me about it and I can't thank her enough (Thanks E)!!!
 
During the challenge last year I finally broke down and tried Aussie Moist. Been hooked ever since.

Cowashed last night w/HE RC and used some as a leave in. Sealed w/kbb hair butter and bunned. My hair is STILL crazy soft.
 
cowashed with honeysuckle rose tonight. i've been airdrying in two braids and putting my hair in a bun in the morning. i'm getting less breakage this way.
 
Ok, I was about to cowash with HE HH but the last few posts make me wanna use my Aussie Moist. I'll do that and wet bun, then throw on my big a** hoops and a maxi dress, going to a block party at 1.

I have been stalking all week since I couldn't cowash (hair was straight). I was sooo happy last night when I got in the shower and grabbed that bottle of Hello Hydration!
 
Purchased a bottle of Aussie Moist and Paul Mitchell The Conditioner today can't wait to try them out probably not til mid-late next week since I just had my hair done. I also picked up KeraCare Humecto (thicker formula for DC's), V05 Moisture Milks Passion Fruit, Garnier Wonder Waves.....my normal staples....
Am I the only one that prefers Kera Care Humecto to Nexxus Humectress??? Humectruss was great as a teenager, but something about that Kera Care keeps me coming back....

Anyone tried Aussie Moist??? My stylist told me I should try this for my wash and go's....

I have a huge bottle of it and only used it once. That's all it took :lick:! Hhmm I think I will be cowashing with it today...I don't know I got some new HE stuff that I wanna try. Decisions, decisions, decisions :perplexed.
 
I must say, I'm hooked! Finally finished my old lost and found conditioners and went off to the shops and bought some more HE (Hello Hydration) as they were on BOGOF. Now I'm finding myself making mental notes to look out for these Aussie Moist and Deep Moist. I'm co-washing pretty much everyday and loving it!!!
 
Ended up cowashing with a protein condish instead. Cowashed with Hairveda's Moist PRO mixed with fenugreek powder. Mistake and I knew because I read it on this board. I was a bit hard headed. Took a little bit to get the grit out of my hair. I love fenugreek so I will make it into a tea and add to the condish next time.
 
Shampoo washed (1st shampoo wash in 2 weeks), DC'd (Keracare Super Reconstructor for 10 minutes rinsed out, then Keracare Humecto mixed with EVOO for over 30 minutes), cowashed with Herbal Essences 'It's a Curl Thing'... leave-in = giovani direct leave in. Air-drying...

Hair's doing good :-)

Hey ladies! I have been extremely laxed about checking in but I HAVE been keeping up with my co washing. I have been using Suave Coconut for my co-wash and then DC'ing with Aussie Moist twice a week. My breakage has STOPPED!!! I actually got on my hands and knees checking my bathroom floor for broken hairs and found none. I diluted some Aussie Moist with bottled water and added some coconut oil and have been using that as a leave in. My hair feels SOOOOO GOOOODDD!!!!
