Spring/Summer Cowash Challenge 2010

I'm probably going to DC with yes to carrots today then follow with aphogee 2 min. I have my eyes on that tresemme naturals conditioner; I'd like to incorporate it into my many co wash conditioners if it works like some of the ladies have been saying.
 
i did another condition rinse.

i put the conditioner on last night, but i was so tired that i just slept in it
(which i've done plenty of times.)

this time i used the vo5 free me freesia (the first time i used the lustrasilk shea/mango)

i usually let it sit for about 10 minutes before i rinse.
i just throw some plastic on my head
& do all my other in the shower stuff

but only once per session. i dont reapply conditioner if that's what you mean?

I do it twice...because I use two different conditioners...first time is the Vo5 second time is HE and I let the HE sit.

I'm getting ready to co-wash in 5 mins and will use Vo5 Strawberries and Cream and Lustrasilk Mango and Shea Butter

i can't wait to get started...my first cowash of the season will be next weekend. i'll be using my beloved herbal essences hello hydration.
 
I don't know what my regi is going to be yet. Last time it was 2-3x a week. I haven't figured out what my spring/summer PS will be which will make a difference in how many times I co wash.

My condishes:
SSI Super Soft Honey
SSI Avocado (new & old formula)
SSI Green Tea Hibsicus
Giovanni SAS (to use up)
YTC
Mane n Tail (to use up)
Jessicurl Too Shea!!
Aussie Moist (to use up)
AO GPB (to use up)
 
How did I miss this thread? I am definitely in! :) The cwing challenge 2 years ago seriously helped with my retention! :up:

Cowashed today with Redken All Soft and left in Redken Heavy Cream, sealed with castor oil. I'm airdrying 80% and about to bun it up for the night. :yep:

Usually I cowash only once. I apply it once I get my hair fully wet then let it sit during my shower. The only time I cowash twice is if I have gel or some other heavy product in my hair and I want clean hair without having to poo.

I use gel daily and I'm using sulfur too that is why I cowash 2x. Trying to prevent buildup.
 
Last night, I DC'd on dry hair with ORS Replenishing Con+EVOO, cowashed with HE 'Healthy Ends' (1st time trying it and I like :) )
 
Hmmm... good question. When I DC on dry hair, I use a lot of conditioner but on wet hair, I don't.
Cowashing - my hair is wet but I use *a lot* of conditioner all the time... maybe cos it's cheaper than my deep conditioner.

Do you find that you use more conditioner when you cowash then when you DC? If so, why?

Co washed this morning with my HE LTR conditioner...as well as Suave Humectant bc i used up my LTR :woohoo: before i was finished with my wash...put in my Coco Creme leave in and some Proclaim Oil and wet bunned.
 
This week I'll be using up the rest of my Sauve Humectant for my cowashing and sealing with my loves Vatika and castor oil.
 
i'll probably skip condition rinsing today, but do it tomorrow or the next day.

i've been really wanting to try elucence mbc...i'll be good/smart and not spend the money, though. maybe later.

I think I use more to DC but if the bottle has a pump or the condish is thin I believe I use more to cowash.

I just noticed that when I cowashed the other day I was using a lot more condish. I was pumping the hell out of my Aussie moist container :lachen:trying to coat each and every strand (I wasn't even going to detangle). However when I was using my SAS (8oz) I think I got like 3-3.5 uses out of it. At the rate I'm cowashing and how much I was pumping I'm going to be out of condish by June-July.:wallbash:
 
I'm in on this challenge. I will cowash 2x-3x per wk. This will change to daily cowashes as the weather warms.

I can't wait to see how this works for my newly 100% natural hair (BC'd Saturday).
