Ladyfrog, I just wanted to say that I noticed how SHINY your hair was (well is!) in  your new sig pic the other day (or was that yesterday? ... well, whenever you posted it). That's what REALLY stood out -- the SHINE! Pretty color too!

It's funny how different hair likes different things.  My hair never feels dry or brittle with CWC....it looks and feels silky soft and shiny. My scalp just hates CO on it, so CWC is the perfect solution for me.

Good luck to all the COers out there

Hi Dave, I was a weekly washer too when I switched first to COW-CC, then to CO. I hope you decide to give CO a try

Your hair does look great, LadyFrog.  I read one time in Anais' hair journal that shampooed hair looks nicer, but she loves the feel of CO hair.  Jennifer and I tend to agree.  Shampooed hair looks great, but feels dry.  COed hair is just heavenly to touch and play with.  It's for that reason that we have stuck with CO.  Once in a while, we get the shampoo bottle out and just wash the top of Jennifer's hair.  I hold the ends out of the suds bath until most of it is rinsed away.  We still notice a difference in the way her hair feels after a day or two.  It just feels drier and more brittle to the touch.

Dave- I've been washing roughly once a week with the heavily diluted shampoo. I'm not sure how often I'll wash with CO but I'm hoping that I'll be able to do it once or twice a week

Go for it!

Hi Ladyfrog. I've been posting elsewhere about my CO experiments. I've just done my third attempt, but am giving up (again) probably for good.  My hair just does not like CO AT ALL

Your hair, however, looks (and feels?) good....so I'd say that's very encouraging.  Even after the first try, that sounds good. My hair just went from bad to utter crap very quickly.

I'm sticking with CWC mixed in with some of the baking soda/ACV washes.    If it aint broke, don't fix it

Yesterday, I washed my hair and did CO. No particular reason, just felt like it I was expecting my hair to go funny and greasy but...it hasn't! It's possibly a tad greasier then if I's shampooed it but mainly it just feels like silk and really shiny! (See sig pic for proof-taken after CO)

Does that mean my hair likes CO and wants to run and hide away from the big scary shampoo bottle or something! I know it's early days yet but it seems to agree with my hair! Well I suppose I barely used shampoo anyway-I'd use heavily diluted baby shampoo.

Intrigued...
