Spring/Summer Cowash Challenge 2010

Just co-washed with CON Moisture Extreme..no real reason to report how it made my hair feels since I've said multiple times that I don't care for the product, just trying to use it up. I currently have about 1/4 of the darn bottle left and i'm so sick of it.

I've also cut down to co-washing only once a week instead of 3. Trying to see if the low manipulation makes a difference in my retention. We shall see at the end of the challenge!
 
I cowashed this morning with my Organix Vanilla Silk conditioner....i started feeling sad.....because i'm almost done with the bottle:cry:

LOL!!:grin:
 
I deep cowashed overnight with Jason Naturals Apricot conditioner mixed with Renpure Organics Moisturizing conditioner. My hair was so soft this morning after being saturated in conditioner for so long:yep:.
 
co-washing first thing in the morning w/ Suave Almond and Shea butter... trying to use it up & I won't be re-buying.... it's not AWFUL but I have conditioners that do the job a lot better in the same price range...
 
I'm not part of the challenge but a quick question, has anyone experienced dull looking hair after cowashing?
I tried it for the first time yesterday and my hair looks so dull and crap. I basically washed my hair like I would with a shampoo but instead I used a conditioner but my hair looks yucky.
What have I done wrong?

Maybe it was the conditioner you used on your hair. Try a moisturizing one and see how that works for you. I know if I use the cheaper ones that everyone use for everday co-washing it don't work so good for me. I have to use my deep conditioner in order for me to see the results I want. but I love doing it.
 
I cowashed with Mozeke's Avocado Cleansing Cream. I finished the sample. I will definitely be purchasing it again.
 
adddd meeee!
I just started cowash into my regimen and my hair is soft and thicker than it has ever been

i will cowah 1s weekly (tuesdays)

My conditioners i use are:

V05 kiwi
V05 Strawberry
Vo5 Lavender
Mane n' Tale
Suave Cocunut
 
Cowashed today to use up some of my white rain apple blossom conditioner....it smells AMAZING....but as a conditioner, yuuuuck. No slip, coated feeling, and my hair doesn't feel soft after.
 
I will be pre-pooing my hair with some gelatin, conditioner and aloe vera juice in a few minutes. I'll update when I'm done figuring out what I will be using and cowashing with today.

I use gelatin also. It works for me!
 
Co washed with Redken smooth down conditioner. Pretty much got the same results as my Tresemme smooth and silky conditioner, which is about $10 cheaper almost 4 times bigger. The hair looks less frizz (which is hte goal of both conditioners) but redken not as moisturize :blush:. Still like it tho :grin:
 
Okay now that I've finished prepooing my hair with the aloe/gelatin mix, I noticed that I had less hair shedding. I used to do this with almost every prepoo and stopped, don't know why...I think I just forgot to use it. Now that I've reaquainted myself with it, I will continue this as part of my regimen moving forward at least with every other wash.

I am now deep cowashing with Nature's Gate Hemp Nourishing Conditioner and sunflower oil as my ceramide. My hair feels really soft right now and I think I'll use my steamer today for even softer results:yep:.

I need to purachse some caffeine powder to put in my prepoo treatment and make sure to apply it on my scalp. I hear it helps to stimulate hair growth. I will give it a try starting with my next wash day. I may have to use it like two or three times a week to get marked results though:ohwell:

Thisis how I plan to do it:

First, oil my hair with grapeseed or sunflower oil. Secondly, I plan to mix the gelatin, caffeine powder and aloe first, blend well, heat in microwave for 30 seconds or so to dissolve the caffeine, whip in a tiny bit of Avalon Organics Biotin B-Complex Thickening Shampoo, then add to my scalp only and leave it on for at least an hour. Thirdly, wash out and DC as usual. I'll see how this goes for a few weeks.
