New term! : Deep co-wash

[natstar]

I like Dcw better than just co washing my hair. It seems to give me more moisture and shine. Thanks for putting a title to it since it isn't just co washing

 

[SouthernTease]

I've been doing this technique for over a year...
except I was calling it a pre-pooing
only I don't use shampoo...
I still co-wash after this process...
so I guess I would call myself a frequent
DEEP PRE-CO-WASHER that DEEP PRE-CO-WASHES...
so then I'm a DPCWr that CWs after but I really don't
co-wash... I co-rinse... whatever...

See that's why your hair looks so good Bcuz you be doin' all that complex stuff to it! Now you can just call it a DCoW and we get your drift!

I'm still mad at you for changing your name We was talkin bout you in the OT forum, did you see it?

Why you gotta be all difficult???

i love this term, since this what I usually do. I always dc on dry hair, with deep conditioner and either leave it on over night or use a heat cap and then rinse it out. this is the best technique ever!

 

[tiffers]

hey i do this alot...i never thought about calling it dcw tho...good idea.

tiffers, i was in the shower last night thinking of oil steaming, after a cow, sop my hair up w/ oil and put a plastic bag on and steam and then rinse out with co or just plain water, while in the shower it's always easier. what cha think about that?

That sounds good! Especially if your hair likes oil rinses! Rinse it ut with conditioner, to cut some of the excess oil out. I'll bet it'll make your hair really soft!

 

[tiffers]

Ioknow, but I'm crackin up at you wondering if you're a loser for pondering this... I don't consort w/those types, so of course not!! You couldn't be in the gang if you were a loser. Anyhoo, maybe I get too analytical, but I think it's a good phrase to use as long as the conditioner you're using is a deep conditioner and not a rinse-out quicky conditioner you just decided to leave in longer than usual. That's just my personal interpretation, and that's what I'll be referring to when I use the term-and I'll definitely be using it!
New acronym to add to the handbook: DCW

Woo hoo! I'm cooool! Yeah

HAHA I actually laughed out loud.. but dang this should be some kind of DCing.. probably DDCW (Deep DEEP Co Washing) cause my hair feels better with a $2 cheapie over night then it does with a $20 DC for 30min!!!!

[LaPetiteCoquette]

I like it!! I usually always deep co wash overnight with my midweekly cowash. (I do regular wash and DC on the weekend).

 

[GeorginaSparks]

then whats a pre-poo?

 

[cecilie]

Okay, so I've been thinking for a while now.... I'm in the co washing challenge and the dc challenge and one thing's been confusing me. What's it called when you put conditioner on dry hair and leave it on while you excersize or overnight? It can be considered a dc, since the conditioner's on your head for an extended period of time. But it can also be considered a co wash, since you're only washing your hair with conditioner, right?

So why don't we just call it ''deep co-washing''?

What do ya'll think?

(Am I a loser for even pondering this? )

Many of us were thinking about this but you did this thread , congrats because we are few Deep co-washers here .

See E, this is why I sit my happy *** down, don't laugh ya'll but last year I was in the shower, felt a cold draft, I decided I was going to reach around and push the door closed. In the mist of me reaching, I fell and busted my left wrist. Now I'm left with a scar as a sore reminder, not to do some of the dumbest things like that. So when I'm in the shower and especially when I do my hair, I just sit and do my hair. I used mats and stickies for the tub but they don't really work, my tub is really narrow and when I sit, that is all the room right there gone.

i'm going to order mizani's moisturefuse moisturizing co for my dcw's

 

[lilsparkle825]

Hey I put on my plastic cap and then I use one of those Do rags that they sell for men in the BSS with the long wrap ties and the long tail that hangs in the back. It's wave cap but its made for a man's big head. I put that on and wrap the string around my head twice...that bad boy stays put...plastic cap and all until the next morning. You have to get the heavier one, not the thin cheap one...

i'll take my bf's...he can only get the heavier ones with his large ass domepiece.

I use cheapies when I DCW while working out. If I do it overnight, I'll use a dc conditioner

 

[sareca]

Yep, I DCW too.

 

[Mahalialee4]

Okay. I do this and never had any idea what I was doing!!!!
I find that my hair is really soft after. What are some of the benefits, besides softer hair that you ladies have noticed as a result of DCW? Thanks, bonjour

 

[Cinda2503]

I do this too! I use Queen Helene cholesterol then co-wash with VO5 or Suave. I love it!
