Spring/Summer Cowash Challenge 2010

I'll be co-washing 2-3x a week. Since I live in Southern California, the weather's fine to do so.

My products:

Vo5's Moisture Milks in Passionfruit Smoothie and Strawberries and Cream (I keep it simple).
 
I was just wondering what are you ladies doing with your hair after you cowash? I normLly do a ponytail but it's getting boring
 
On Monday, I will start cowashing my hair at least once a day (sometimes I cowash twice a day :look:). My cowash conditioners are Dove Intensive Daily Treatment Conditioner and Dove Intensive Repair conditioner. I also have some VO5 conditioner that I need to finish, so I will be using that as well.
 
I took my hair down from the bun I put it in last night, and cowashed with Suave Coconut condish and TJ Triple Tea Tree leaving it in. I must say my curls are poppin' :grin:. I was suppose to be bunning, but I think I'm going to go back to the WnG as my primary style. I was looking at how my ends were bent into that bun and it just felt like a bad idea :perplexed. So my new routine is to cowash daily and wear a WnG, detangling once or twice (if needed) a week.

Would you believe it's snowing here in Chicago:spinning: but hey that's the Chi. It's not sticking though..thank God....
 
Looking forward to this Challenge. As I am Trying to use up alot of stuff that's 1/2, 1/4, 2/3'rds Full.:yep:

Hoping to stay on top of Co-Washing twice a week. Hopefully my Tuesdays (at work) won't be too hectic/tiring.:sad: So Far, My Co-Wash Days will be Tuesday & Saturday.

Pulled out all of my smaller bottles/tubes....they will definitely be the first to go.:blush: All of them.

Anything that is not a DC or a Specialized Conditioning Treatment.
 
Just seeing this but I'm going to be cowashing anyway as a part of my regime with my new TWA. Good Luck ladies!

I love co-washing!:yep: I plan to co-wash 3-4 times a week with Suave Humectant. I may try other conditioners as well (my hair responds well with Suave Humectant). As soon as I remove my Senegalese Twists, I plan to start adding my Ayurvedic powders to my condish as well. I'm transitioning so I may end up co-washing every day.
 
Cowash 3-4 times weekly (I'll probably increase to 5 when it gets warmer here in the UK). My hair won't be loose on my cowash days, it'll either be in pixie braids or in 6 big braids.

Staple cowash cons
Aussie Moist
HE Hydralicious
HE Totally Twisted
HE Hello Hydration
Suave Humectant

To use up
Nexxus Humectress
Nexxus Headress

To try out
HE Beautiful Ends (may be similar to/same as the U.S's LTR)

DC 2ce a week.
Shampoo/soap wash when I feel like my hair needs it (which isn't very often).

1st update will be tomorrow.
 
i cowashed today with Pantene Beautiful Lengths conditioner. i didn't feel like it did anything for me. didn't hurt me, but didn't benefit me either.

after i rinsed, i put in HE LTR Leave-in. this stuff is THE BOMB on my natural hair. its so soft, and super shiny! i'm shocked. the only thing i don't like about it is that it makes my hair shrink more than usual. but its all good bcuz it actually moisturized my hair! ♥
 
I prepooed last night with Dabur Amla oil then cowashed with VO5 Moisture Milks Strawberries and Cream...I didn't put anything on my hair afterwards because I want to see how my hair responds to the conditioner alone plus there was still plenty of oil residue in it...my hair feels clean, soft, and moisturized...for the next couple of weeks, I'll be prepooing w/oil then cowashing w/VO5 Strawberries and Cream conditioner until it's gone before I move on to another conditioner.
 
Shay thanks for starting this challenge the weather is getting warm and my head is sweating.
I'll be cowashing 2x aweek for now and will probably pick up in the summer.
I'm PJ so I have alot of products to use up and will add more:

Giovanni
Jasmine
Oyin
Elasta
Suave
Hair one
Ayurveda
Lustrasilk
VO5
Mane&Tail
MillCreek
Jason
 
I've seen a lady or two mention ayurveda. Right now I'm doing a double tea rinse on my full hair day which is Saturday or Sunday depending on my schedule. Now that I'm upping the cowashing I may mix powders in for at least one cowash a week or do a tea rinse followed by a cowash or I may do each 1x/wk. We shall see.

Yeah, I was a little bit concerned about that when I first got it but honestly, this stuff is one of the best (if not THE best) conditioners for co-washing that I've ever used. :yep:

It's a winner for me!!
 
I'm going to DC today with AOHSR mixed with Nexxus Humectress (AOHSR is sooo thick, I feel like I'm wasting it using it by itself!).

I'll co-wash after I rinse out the DC w/ my Tresemme Naturals (Moisture) condish and rollerset the front of my hair (wearing my half-wig this week)
 
Last night I did my first cowash of the season! I used my beloved Aussie moist and it was soooo soft! This time I did something different this time I washed my hair in sections and didn't comb it until the final rinse out. This time I barely lost any hair :)
 
I co-washed today with Suave Tropical Coconut. I plan on ordering some Aubrey Organics Honeysuckle Rose this week to add to the rotation.
