    I've been doing this for 3 days now. Tonight Will be day 4, but I have not been using oils. I have just been massaging the scalp.

    Are any of you guys cowashing? Does cowash get the oil off your scalp?

    Yes and sort of lol. Everyone else throws their CO-washing conditioner in their oiled hair while it's dry then let it sit before hopping in the shower and wetting it and adding more conditioner and eventually rinsing. That doesn't work that well for me though I must be doing something wrong because even when I do multiple coatings and rinsings I still have excess coconut oil in my hair. This has been addressed in the CO-washing thread as well as a few other threads.

    Maybe there's something besides oil you can use for massaging. Maybe aloe?

    Yes but it's a humectant and idk what kind of climate you live in or if your hair even likes humectants. Plus, you wouldn't get the benefits of oiling your hair with a penetrating oil like coconut or olive.

    My climate is super humid so humectants are fine. I'll try coconut or castor oil first though. If that's too oily I might use aloe + essential oil.

    Um, I don't know if this matters, but I use(d) grapeseed oil in my hair and got it out by rinsing with water, putting in my conditioner, and sitting for like ten minutes massaging my head. Works very well for me!

    I know the head inversions work, no need for excess oiling though, I've heard too much oil that clogs pores can retard hair growth! The idea is to get blood circulation to the scalp. There are also a couple of yoga aasanas which are good for hair growth.. Type "yoga for hair growth" on google. They work for me, i know this because my hairdresser tells me my hair grows pretty quick

    I did the challenge last month, I managed 7 days straight with no oil and 4 minutes each day.

    My hair generally grows steadily at .5" a month. I measured in at 17.75" - 18" when I first started, and I measured in today and was at 18.75". I'll be starting again in a few days, I think, if it helps this much. I can definitely tell my hair has grown by how it feels on my back and how it looks in photos too.
