Okay Ladies, let's keep it up in 2022 with our Co-Washing, Co-Cleansing, Mud Washing, Honey Cleansing or any other alternative form of cleaning our hair and scalp while retaining moisture. Maximum length retention, lush, thick ends and healthy, moisturized tresses are the goals here!

Please post updates whenever you partake in any of the mentioned activities. At a minimum, weekly and/or monthly updates are needed to keep this thread active.
This challenge is to motivate and encourage each other to get that maximum moisture and meet our goals. It will also help us learn different techniques and methodology and what seems to work best for different types of hair.

Can I ask what cleansing milk is? How are they different than a shampoo?
@snoop
CRN is just calling their's a "Cleansing Milk" It's definitely not a 'Poo (no lather). More like a Cowash Conditioner. Others may call their a Cleansing Creme etc.... = Cowash Conditioner
