Spring/Summer '09 Cowashing Challenge

Eisani · Mar 20, 2009

Today is the first official day of our challenge.

To reiterate, the dates are from March 20th thru September 21st. I have requested the original thread be locked to avoid confusion

**You do not have to change your regimen or routine in any way. If you shampoo once a week, that is still fine and actually a good idea if you're prone to buildup.

**You can still cowash while in braids or weave, just be sure you're rinsing thoroughly.

I guess great minds think alike or try to save the Hairveda :look:

Keen · Mar 20, 2009

Deep cowashing right now :look:

. Well I didn't shampoo even though I will add heat, I think that still qualify as cowash.

brebre928 · Mar 20, 2009

I bought some Herbal Essences Hydralicious Conditioner lastnight and I can't wait to use it.

Report back on how you like it. I haven't seen or heard a whole lot of reviews on this.\

ETA: No you did NOT take down the cute puppy for that yearbook pic :lachen:

I did some of those and they were hilarious! JJ Fadd, all day.

brebre928 · Mar 20, 2009

I'll def. keep you posted on it.

LOL, I had to much fun with these myself. This one is my fav...lol

! I am trying to expand my horizons when it comes to products. I was starting to get bored with taking care of my hair which was scary to me. I knew if I started buying more and trying new things that would keep me interested.

I haven't gotten bored so much as just settled in my ways. Yea I buy lots of products (I've actually done quite well this month and only bought a few things), but I just don't mess with my hair much. A lil lazy, but not really. Just doing what's required and nothing extra...

Chameleonchick · Mar 20, 2009

Yay! I have been waiting for you to start this! Girl I have a whole bunch of bottles of cowash type conditioners. All the cheap ones are going first. I'll be back tonight after I cowash.

sharentu · Mar 20, 2009

i cowashed this morning with AO Island Naturals. my hair is in a bun.

redecouvert · Mar 20, 2009

unfortunately i have to leave the challenge as my hair becomes more prone to tangles with the co-wash routine

Eisani · Mar 20, 2009

^^Damn, we just started today! Best of luck to you and your hair.

I cowashed with this the other day then used it as a leave in on soaking wet hair and applied a quarter size amount of JessiCurl Rockin Ringlets for a wash n go. My hair was so well defined and soft! I think I love that combo.

MA2010 · Mar 20, 2009

Hey ladies,

I co-washed yesterday with Aussie Moist overnight. Love the results. Soft, supple hair!

Dposh167 · Mar 20, 2009

PrissyMiss · Mar 20, 2009

I am deep cowashing with Suave Coconut.

youwillrise · Mar 20, 2009

dont know if i mentioned it
but i'm bumping my conditionings up to twice a week
instead of once like i originally said

sundays and tuesdays
cleanse and dc day on fridays as usual

Nayna · Mar 20, 2009

I got my hair straightened on Monday so I'll probably wash it out on Sunday cus once I go back to school and my dance class this hair won't last and I'll be looking like a madwoman, lol. I was looking at someone's post where they said they just squeeze the conditioner out but they don't rinse it out after a co-wash, do any of u try this?
