Do you think all V05 Conditioners work the same? Think again! The Herbal Escapes Sun Kissed Raspberry and Silky Experience Champagne Kiss are two of my favorite co-washing conditioners. They both have good slip, especially the Sunkissed Raspberry conditioner. They are also inexpensive and smell really good! You can find these conditioners at your local dollar, beauty supply, or grocer. What's your favorite co-washing conditioner?

Hey Everyone, Today is my 8 month natural hair anniversary. I did my big chop on March 3, 2011. I do not do length checks often, but I may do one soon. After applying a leave in conditioner, I two-strand twisted my hair into medium sized twists, and then wrapped each twist around to form a bantu knot. I secured the knot with a hair pin. In the morning, I removed the twists... Here are my results: My hair had more volume with the bantu-knot out (on top of two strand twists), than the twist out alone. I also forgot to mention that I co-washed my hair, and it was damp. After reading a post by Barbara Naturally Speaking , I've realized that my hair doesn't shrink up as much when I co-wash my hair.  I co-washed with V05's "Champagne Kiss" conditioner and then sat under the heating cap (with the conditioner in my hair) for deep conditioning. I used to think that all V05 Conditioners were the same, but they are not. I tried one of the Moisture Milk ...

Co-washing my hair My hair has been very dry since my big chop. The other day, I sprayed my hair with water and applied the Eco-Styler Olive Oil gel, but it ended up very flaky. I guess I should apply it right after I wash and condition my hair. First Co-Wash After My Big Chop I co-washed my hair with the VO5 Silky Experiences Conditioner. I applied Shea Butter (while my hair was wet) mixed with Castor Oil . Then I applied the Hollywood Olive Oil and Softee Coconut Oil. My hair was a little more moisturized, but is still dry. I have the Organic Root Stimulator Deep Replenishing Conditioner. I liked to use it when I was transitioning I think I will try that next time. Let me know if you have any suggestions for dryness after the big chop :-)
