Spring/Summer Cowash Challenge 2010

are any of you using giovanni smooth as silk conditioner for your condition washes?

i just ordered some (i know, i said i wasnt ordering anything else lol) but it was $5.17 at iherb.com and i couldnt pass it up because i usually see it for close to $8 at the vitamin shoppe and other places...so i decided to try it.

giovanni is another brand i've been avoiding trying for all these years. i figure for $5, i'd give it a shot.

I got mine at a BOGO at Rite Aid. I like it for a Cowash but it's not enough for a DC for me, my hair is too thick. I got about 4-5 uses out of the 8oz container (I'm heavy handed esp with cowashing). I won't repurchase though:ohwell:
 
did a condition rinse with vo5 free me freesia mixed w/ lustrasilk shea & mango

my braids have more life now. lol.

I'm about to go cowash now, I'm to lazy to make the homemade condish so I will use Sauve milk and honey and add 1/3c of coconut milk
 
I'm getting ready to co-wash with CON Moisture Extreme....again...ugh can't wait to get rid of this stuff! Got about 16 oz left. BOOOOO
 
checking in... did a molasses treatment under steamer tonight, then rinsed and co-wshed with VO5 Vanilla Mint Tea... this is the best smelling stuff!
 
Cowashed last nite w V05 moisture milks (strawberry or rasberry) and used Hair Rules conditioner and put my hair in 2 buns and tied it down with a scarf.
 
Bump.

I thankfully was able to run by CVS today to restock on my Garnier. I did a co-wash with garnier TN cream conditioner and used some garnier sleep and shine LI conditioner. My hair is back to it's self again. Hello hydration disappointed me. :ohwell:

sounds tasty. where did you get that?
At Vitamin Shoppe. You can also get it from vitacost.com for a few dollars cheaper. The smell lingers too as long as my hair is wet. Once it dries I have to smell my hair to smell it. When it is wet I get wiffs of it.

Is it too late to join this challenge??? For the past few weeks I have been co-washing everyday. Before that I was co-washing 2x a week I've been using, nourish spa, tea tree tingle conditioner, or a V05 moisture milks. I also deep condition once a week with either lutrasilk mango shea butter or ORS conditioner.
It is. I'm not adding anyone else to the list. You can still post though.

I have it but haven't tried it yet.

Well, I think this has to be the best challenge out there! I finished my aerobics class tonight and felt like running a couple of miles, walked back to my CHU and grabbed Herbal Essence Hydralicious Featherweight and co washed!!! So far, third co-wash this week and I'm loving it!! I've decided to co-wash on Mon, Wed and on Sat I'm going to finish using up my hennas/amlas/cassia's by doing glosses. Once I finish using those up, that Sat will turn into a co-wash day!

I'm feeling so good about this challenge, that I've decided to start training for a half marathon! i'm going to use this challenge to help with my training, so by the time this one ends, I would have met my half marathon goal as well!!
Wish me lucK ladies!!!!
Good luck!
Please please please add my name to the list!! Puh-leez!!!! Co-wash is all I do. 3/week.
I'm not adding anyone else to the list but feel free to post.

i can't wait to cowash tomorrow. i'm gonna be using HE HH. i know i've said its not all that great, but its not horrible either, and i'm not a pj so i use whatever i got til its gone. :lol:
Love the puff!
 
Cowashed on Wednesday and today with Millcreek Biotin. Cowashed on Thursday with the Green Apple & Ginger condish again.
 
I want to join this even though your not adding anyone else I'll just post and see what everyone is doing.


I'll be cowashing once a week because I usually wear braids and weaves. I will be using the new Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Conditioner it has 3 fruit oils, olive oil nourishes the inner core; the Avocado oil nourishes and softens the middle layer and the Shea oil nourishes and smoothes the surface.
 
i cowashed with my first bottle of garnier, hydra curls, last night. found it at a discount store for $2.99, idk if they still make it. so far so good, but i rinsed it all out and added HE HH as a leave-in and then threw in some miss jessie's curly pudding so my WNG was poppin before my date night. i'll reassess probably tuesday or so.

Hey lil sparkle, how do you like the HE HH as a leave in? I get alot of flakes. Do you think using an additional product like the curly pudding makes a difference?

Thanks!

By the way, did a cassia gloss using HE HH and rinsed with HE HH (saturday night). Will do another cowash either monday night or wednesday night.....or both :drunk:
 
I co-washed yesterday with that wack CON Moisture Extreme....it didn't make my hair feel too nice and it doesn't have as much slip as Vo5 or Suave....but I MUST finish it!
 
cw in the shower with Regis vivid satin co and must say that I will be glad when this is all gone. It leaves a film on my scalp that makes rinsing take forever.
 
Corinsed with Tresemme Naturals again. I thought about switching it up and buying another conditioner, but 2 bottles and 3 weeks later, this has turned into Holy Grail conditioner, and I will never be without it.
