Started cowashing a few nights ago and I love it. My brief reviews thus far:
SDH Whip My Hair cleansing cream - made my hair soft
HV Moist Condition Pro - made my hair feel balanced and resilient
HV Moist Pro 24/7 - made my hair soft

Thus far, I prefer Moist Condition Pro. The other two are tied for a close second.

I used to be a daily cowasher but have now cut back to about 2 times a week. If I remember I finger detangle when I cowash. Otherwise I've just accepted that until I do a full detangle on Sundays my hair will be tangled. I guess it would be helpful for you to know that I have tightly coiled 4a hair with a lot of shrinkage. Meaning although I am a little past a year post bc I look like I don't have much more than a TWA. But when stretched my hair is resting somewhere between collar bone and apl.

I cowashed this week with SSI's Okra Reconstructor and Claudie's Deep Moisturizing Conditioner.

@divachyk how often are you co washing now?

Nix08 -Every other day. The goal is to cowash on gym days (Mon, Wed, Fri). I sweat a lot and the sweat dries my hair out and makes it crunchy. I try to workout 3x weekly.

Shay72 - I'm relaxed and don't have a clue what hair type I am. What has been working for me is to comb lightly beforehand, keep my hair stretched while cowashing, and lightly comb through while air drying. My ouidad comb does great with wet combing.

Does your hair go through cowashing withdrawal? My hair was feeling great when I cowashed every other day. I didn't cowash at all over the weekend and my became a desert. Did I create a monster?

It shouldn't. watch out for conditioner with cones in them. I think they can over-coat and cause dryness over time.
