i'd love to try some new conditioners for this.

now i'm in a big mood to do this
but someone else is about to get in the shower
hmpfh. HURRY UP! hahaha

 

[Moniquenuss]

Awww did I miss roll call? ( i was an hour late

 

[Shay72]

Awww did I miss roll call? ( i was an hour late

I responded in the sign up thread. I'm adding you now.

 

[mEmYSELFaNDj]

Im planning on cowashing 2-3 times per week alternating between Suave Humectant (for moisture) and Mane and Tail (for protein) I mixed EVOO in both conditioners. I will only detangle and comb through my hair once a week during a cowash. The other times I will cowash while still in a bun, no combing.

 

[Moniquenuss]

Wooohoooo!!!! Il be back in the am. I have to go get some more conditioner. So far I will be using
Aussie moist
wen fig
HE hydrolicous
silicon mix
silk elements (the green one)

oh and I plan on cowashing 2-3 times per week and only coming on cowash days. For the most pRt I will be trying to avoid a lot of protein conditioner because I have the bkt and I don't want to over do it.

 

[EbbonyTx]

I just did my cowash!

Washed with Aussie Cleanse & Mend (cheap and great slip)
DC'd with ORS Replenishing Conditioner for an hour (more slip)

I am about to use my homemade MN concoction, moisturize/seal, and put on my silk scarf!

Good night ladies!

 

[Black Hoya Chick]

Currently using RenPure Organics "My Pretty Hair is Parched" Moisturizing Conditioner. I think I cowashed 4-5 times this week. this stuff is the best! for $6.99, it is worth MORE than every penny.

 

[song_of_serenity]

I'm in! My hair LOVES water! Please add me to the list. I usually cowash twice a week, Saturday and Wednesday...

 

[Firstborn2]

I'll be co-washing 3-5x a week. I'm not exactly sure what all I will be using I'm still experimenting with all natural ingredients.

But I have been using avocado, honey, coconut milk, with good results. Tonight I cowashed with coconut milk and honey mixed in water.

 

[Jade Feria]

Forgot to add, earlier I cowashed with Aussie Moist then did a rinse with Porosity Control.

 

[~NanCeBoTwin~]

co washed this morning using AM.

 

[Mom23]

I co-washed this morning using V05 Kiwi Lime Squeeze. I plan to co-wash every day and use: Nature's Gate aloe vera, nourish spa (Trader Joe's), Aussie Moist, and Suave coconut.

 

[guudhair]

I will continue prepooing with oil each time....and every two weeks I will do my normal herbal rinse (amla, bhrami, bhringraj, and/or shikakai powders) or use a shikakai shampoo bar.

I will be co-washing twice a week using one of the following conditioners until I figure out which one works the best for my hair:

Aubrey Organics - Honeysuckle Rose
esencia - White Lotus
Renpure Organics - Moisturizing Conditioner
VO5 Moisture Milks - Strawberries and Cream
Sauve Naturals - Tropical Coconut
Sauve Naturals - Ocean Breeze
Lustrasilk Colesterol- Shea Butter plus Mango


These two have cones but I need to use them up:

Herbal Essences - Hello Hydration
Organix - Shea butter conditioner

I will add Roux Porosity Control to these as needed until I use it up as well.

[4evershika]

Hey ladies,

I'm gonna be co-washing 1-2 times weekly... I usually use the Tresemme Cone-Free Conditioner, Suave Humectant, or VO5 conditioners.

 

[ms.blue]

I would co-washing with the combination of giovanni smooth as silk, tresemme moisture rich and tresemme anti-sponge once a week in the beginning and later going on twice a week in the summer. I might do a light protein treatment in between since my hair likes protein.

 

[cch24]

I'll be cowashing every day until this challenge is over! I'm alternating between Tresemme Naturals (moisture) and Suave Coconut (protein). I'm glad that both of these conditioners are cheap because I opened the 25 ounce Tresemme conditioner on Monday and its over halfway done!

Cowashed this morning with Tresemme.

 

[Shay72]

I'm in! My hair LOVES water! Please add me to the list. I usually cowash twice a week, Saturday and Wednesday...

[youwillrise]

Hey ladies,

I'm gonna be co-washing 1-2 times weekly... I usually use the Tresemme Cone-Free Conditioner, Suave Humectant, or VO5 conditioners.

ooooh.

i didnt know the naturals line was cone-free.
i've used some tresemme conditioners and theyre great at first
but then the coneage gets to me

i was going to pass by this naturals line because i was like "yeah right"
but maybe i will actually try it!


adding: eep. i just read the ingredients. it has alcohol at the end. isopropyl alcohol (the same as rubbing alcohol). i mean it's one of the last ingredients, but still...i dunnooo

 

[Shay72]

I cowashed with Amala Cream Rinse after my deep water exercise class this morning at the pool. When I got home I added my leave in (Alba) and moisturizer (Hairveda's Whipped Baggy Cream). I had some build up which the amala got out and my hair feels soft and moisturized.

 

[bestblackgirl]

Yay i made it. I will be co-wash with Wen. From now until Mid-May when the semester is over I will be Co-Wash every Wednesdays and Saturdays. And starting from Mid-May until the end of the challenge I will co-Wash every other day

 

[equestrian]

I'll be co-washing 2-3 times a week with Garnier Triple nutrition and natures gate biotin. I co-washed with these two last night, then put my hair up. I was getting some a couple hair's in my finger while applying the conditioner so I skipped detangling.
