2014 Challenge- CoWash, CoCleanse, Mud Wash, Honey Cleanse, & Others

Cowashing with As I Am Coconut Cowash.

Has this Cowash taken the place of shampoo completely? I am wanting to get a co-wash cleanser and no longer use shampoo. It is stipping my hair too much.

Still cowashing every other day. I will do this through the holiday and then switch to every 3 days. I'm using up old product now: AIA Cleansing Pudding, Deva Curl One and AIA Leave-In. Starting tomorrow I will clarify using Deva Curl One with baking soda, DC with Naturelle Grows Herbal Blends and then mud. I will use up the AIA leave-in and AIA Twist defining cream and then just use KKNT and KKCC. Hopefully I can use most of the AIA up by the holiday.

My hair is definitely becoming more hydrated and starting to hang a bit more. But I am glad to be almost finished with the frequent cowash/mudding process.

I am making my own with a combination of bentonite, red and kaolin clay. No special recipe, just water, olive oil, honey and a little acv. I put it on for 30 minutes after I deep condition.

I have decided I will cowash during the week and then leave the clarifying, cowash, mud for the weekend when I have more time. I will see how that goes.

Just came back from ordering more Hairveda . I bought Moist 24/7, Moist PRO, and Cream Cleansing Rinse. I just ordered the 16 oz because I want to make sure my hair still likes the stuff before buying the deluxe sizes or gallons.
