great! the products i'm using for this challenge are in my fotki album- no password needed. in this challenge, let's make it a little different, how about we do co washes more often instead of shampooing as much? i want to see what the results will be. what products will everyone else use?

I will shampoo once a week and CO wash 2-3 times a week. I posted my regimen in my fotki album as a comment response in my second album.

I'm in. I'll be washing with shampoo weekly with co-washes 2-3 times a week. If I'm not in a weave or a bun I might wear it in a wrap (won't be often) and I'll moisturize 1-2x daily.

I"m in! who knows if I'll make it to January, but hey, at least for the first 8 months of the year, I will be dedicated to this challenge. That might take me to my ultimate goal 
5 inches to go! 
So, we're focusing on moisture??? Moisture is what I need! Hmm, I will shampoo once a week, and once I start really exercising starting next week, I might cowash once/2x a week as well. If I do cowash, I will buy Mane N Tail, because it has some protein in it, because too frequent use of regular conditioners makes my hair mushy, and I don't want that. I want a conditioner that is going to make my hair strong as well.
I will start doing more protective hairstyles again. Since late November, I've been wearing my hair out more, and for that reason, I had to trim almost an inch last week, so I'm keeping the ends off my back.

Oooh, I'm in! I will co-wash 2-3 times a week, and shampoo only if I feel necessary. I just bought some MNT conditioner and I love it. I will alternate between MNT, Capilo Milk & Honey, and Silicon Mix for my cowashes. As far as daily moisture goes, I'm still trying to figure out what "works" for me.

I will CW two times a week and shampoo every 2 weeks. I will moisturize 1-2x a week.

Finally, I've been waiting for the challenge to restart. I'm in. 
ETA- I didn't read all the post before I decided to join, but me and CW don't get along, is that the only regimen to follow?

no, of course not, that's just what i'm doing, do whatever feels good to you and your hair. it's all about moisture, better health, and overall growth. so whatever works for you,go for it. good-luck.BeautifulWideEyes said:Finally, I've been waiting for the challenge to restart. I'm in.

I can't remember if I'd ever actually joined a challenge...I know im usually reading them and then think I'm going to do it but never commit.. So, I guess this is my official joining a challenge post..
I will focus more on moisture. I just done a 3in. trim in Dec. So I'll be focussed on retaining my newly exposed ends.

I'm in! I am currently 8 week post relaxer and need to bump up my CW routine.
I plan to CW 2 - 3 time a week followed by WGO. WGO really help with tangles while wet. But I still have a great deal of tangles b/4 applying the WGO
. I need a good detangler!!!!! Can you please suggest a good one for me, please?????

I'll be doing CO Washes once a week (Saturday), shampooing on alternate weeks. I'm currently 12 weeks and 3 days post relaxer. I'm wearing my hair in cornrows underneath a 3/4 fall, using MTG Daily (started this morning).
I may opt to stretch my CO Washes to once every two weeks (to keep my hair up in braids for 2 weeks at a time) and Shampoo once a month.
My Starting Length for 2006:
Major trim coming up at next retouch.
