Question: does anyone add oil(s) to their co-wash conditioner? I'm thinking of adding coconut oil to make it even more moisturizing.....:scratchch

I try to remember to do this when I first open a bottle. Doesn't always happen though. I've added HV vatika's frosting, coconut oil, evoo, and jbco to condishes in the past. Not all at once but one oil to one bottle.
 
Last night co washed with Pantene Relaxed and Natural conditioner and today co washed with White Rain Apple Blossom.

i don't necessarily add oils to my cowash because i like to keep them quick.

adding oils is something i usually do with my dc's.

however, i do an oil rinse with my cowashes many times, so that's similar.

yes, it makes my hair alot softer than when i cowash only.
 
I can't wait til my stupid final is over so i can get home and show my hair how much i appreciate it with a nice COWASH! I LUV IT! lol

BTW My session with Lekair Cholesterol the otherday was pretty good. My hair felt a bit stronger so I guess the little bit of collagen that's in it did it's job.

Tonight is detangling night so I'll be pre-pooing with Shea Butter, coconut oil, and evoo and then i'll be washing that out first with shampoo and THEN Garnier Fructis Instant Melting Conditioner. CAN'T WAIT!

Since I have braids in my hair I haven't been able to co-wash 2 to 3 days a week but since I just took the front of my braids down after 2 weeks I'm deep conditioning.


Using: Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition, Mega-Tek, and JBCO.


I think my hair is loving being braided because all that pressing and flat ironing I was doing was to much heat so I guess I might keep my braids up for the summer just get them touched up every two weeks because in the summer my hair grows.

After I pour the tea over my hair and soak my ends I usually sit with it on my hair using a plastic cap. When I ready to rinse I use my V05 conditioners and just apply it to my hair and NG and just rinse it out. When I cowash, I apply my conditioner in the shower and let it penetrate my hair for a few minutes while I'm washing my body before I detangle and rinse.

BTW....I saw in a previous post that you do oil rinses......I love them too, I usually do a Vatika Frosting oil rinse :lick:
Oh and adding JBCO to my DC gets a triple :lick: :lick: :lick:

Hi grow!

Every week I do a protein prepoo during my "hair day". I put my hair in 4 twists and coat each twist with coconut oil. Then I apply Mane n Tail Conditioner over each twist, and sit under my bonnet dryer for 30 minutes.

HTH!

thanks Cch24!
do you know i have a new bottle of that which i haven't even opened yet?
i've gotten too attached to my "regulars".:lick:
reading your post, i'm gonna get it outta there and FINALLY actually try it!
:yep:
hcw ladies!
 
Co-washed yesterday with Suave Naturals Shea Butter and Almond conditioner... that's next on my list to use up... I don't know if I like it though.
 
Did my weekly henna, co washed it out with a mix of Desert Essence Green Apple & Ginger Conditioner and Aussie Moist 3 Min Miracle.
 
Still cowashing at least once a week with HE LTR and HE HH. Going to up it this upcoming week bc I'll be working out more.
 
Co washed yesterday with Victoria secret's So sexy for dry and damaged hair. Seems to be a little proteiny. It smell nice, and made a wonderful braid out.
 
Things my hair does not like:
1. soft bonnet dryer
2. gel (besided KCCC)

I combined these too on Saturday and my hair came out okayish :ohwell:. I also feel like I've been super hair lazy. In the morning I just spray my bedhead with my water/ oil mix (I don't think my hair's too fond of this actually) and I smooth more water through my hair, then apply some leave-in. I actually like my second and third day hair, but I need to lay off the hair milk and butter. I cowashed tonight because my hair felt coated and looked kinda busted :blush:.

I applied Yes to Carrots condish to my hair and detangled. Then, I added a little glob of SSI Green Tea and Hibscious condish to both sides of my hair and didn't rinse it out. I dried my hair in a t-shirt, and I must say that I'm really liking my wng :grin:.
