I just co-washed with Eve NYC Soften Up Conditioner. Then I used TJ Nourish Spa, as a leave-in. That is all I will put on my hair.

Tempted to relax my hair straight again but I like my texlaxed hair so much. It can handle cowashing so easily without major breakage:ohwell:. I'll think about it for another 3-6 months before I do anything rash.

Interesting that cones are okay because most rinse off the hair. I have been wanting to try Aussie 3 Min, but I have been scared.

I know right. I thought the same thing and I'm currently using Ausie MOist Conditioner for cowashing. Sometimes I whip in an egg to make it a protein cowash conditioner for strength.

Speaking of protein cowashing, think I will add silk peptides to my next V05 session. Then DC.
