Spring/Summer Cowash Challenge 2010

Monday I used Skala Shea Butter conditioner & Pantene Relaxed & natural deep conditioner .
 
I had my caffeinated shampoo sitting on my scalp all day and will be cowashing it out in the morning. Don't know which conditioner I'll be using yet though.
 
Used up the last of my VO5 Passion Fruit Smoothie...

Sooooooo happy that I can start back using my Tresemme Naturals since I've cleaned up shop a little (and got rid of all my half-used conditioners)
 
CWing using whatever cheapie I think my hair will benefit most from at the time, whether Aussie Moist, Suave Coconut, Suave A&SB, White Rain Cuke & Melon, etc. I'm doing my CWs about once per 2 weeks to keep the manipulation (on wet hair especially) to a minimum. Plus, I use products that don't leave a whole lot of buildup, and use them sparingly. My hair has reunited with the glory of CWs, after a whole winter of missing out on them! Here we come smooth, shiny, moisturized, wavy, natural hair! I CW, then apply products and wet bun. My hair LOVES this (have done this off and on for about 5 yrs) and stays soft until the next wash, with NO breakage or shedding!

CWs are once again making the transition a breeze! If it weren't for the fact that I took my bun down every few days to relieve tension and saw the texlaxed/processed ends, I'd think I was already natural. All my hair from front and back hairline to about 1-2 inches into the hair in the elastic band (ponytail hair hanging), is natural hair. Won't be long now...all the visible hair outside the bun is natural, so it gives me a good idea of what I'll be working with for years to come. I only use diluted shampoo every so often if my scalp is particularly itchy from CWs and condish buildup. I will post pics in my Fotki of my almost 10 mos post hair this week.

I cowashed this morning with J/A/S/O/N Jojoba and lemongrass color treated conditioner this morning. I wasn't crazy about it but I didn't exactly hate it either but I know it is not a repurchase item for me.

I cowashed this morning and finished up the last of the J/A/S/O/N Jojoba & Lemongrass conditioner. Now on to another conditioner for tomorrow. I think I will use up the gallon of Tresemme B5 Moisturizing conditioner I still have left:yep:.
 
Just co-washed with Naked Naturals Shea Butter and Avocado conditioner. MY hair felt AMAZING! I used it as a protein but didn't get the protein shot I needed. Can anyone recommend a nice bi-weekly light-medium protein condish I can co-wash with other than Aphogee? The 2 min did not impress me. I've also tried Organics Hair MAyonnaise which was more moisturizing and Silk Elements Hair Mayonnaise which I hated. THANKS!
 
I Co-Washed last night with PhilipB's Deep Penetrating Cream Rinse. I love that stuff for Co-Washing.:lick:

Now I wish I had more. It is a Great Product. *after my no-buy, i will be stalking tj maxx*

For my Co-Washers, I will alternate between the PhilipB and Nexxus Humectress.
 
Cowashed again this morning with Tresemme B5 Remoisturizing Conditioner. It seems to be okay for now. I still like vo5 moisture milk conditioners better though.
 
I will be upping my cowashing preparing for my BC. Also it is just that time of year. I noticed that some areas of my hair that I believed had no definition actually does. It's a moisture thing.
 
Did a Cassia Gloss using up sample bottles of conditioner and co washed out using the last of Desert Essence Green Apple & Ginger Conditioner.....yippeee!!!!!!!

I have a little bit of Hello Hydration left that I will use with my next co wash along with Organix Coconut Milk until it's gone........
 
I really have fun when i co-wash with White Rain Lavender-Vanilla...it smells like a grape Laffy Taffy!!! I love that conditioner jus bc its fun!:laugh: I don't know why...it just is!
 
I'm getting ready to co-wash with Skala G3 Conditioner....since it's new, I'm gonna come back and give a review!

ETA: Yeah Skala is a no go for me. My hair did not feel soft and it had no slip. I'll be giving it away!
