The CO (conditioner only) washing thread

[Linika]

I'm doing a wash today! Wish me luck! The oiling after the last one failed T^T

For your thicker/heavier conditioners, I suggest going in the opposite direction. After I rinse out my cleansing conditioner, I gently towel dry my hair to remove excess water before applying my pricey secondary conditioners. I find I'm able to achieve better results with much less product this way. It doesn't make sense to dilute your heavy conditioner because you're essentially diluting away some of the conditioning benefits it contains.

YAY thanks so much! I will try this tomorrow. My roots are completely happy, not frizzy and very shiney (FINALLY!), but my roots are frizzy and mis-behaving (maybe just the nature of the beast).

When I tell people I shampoo my hair once a year, whether it needs it or not, their eyes bug out.

GRU, you are my hero!

There's a 600+ post thread about Toadstool products here. The conditioner is very minimalist in the ingredients department: Distilled Water, Jojoba Oil, Glycerin, Vit E & Humectant(corn & soy oil blend) for moisturizing, Potassium Sorbate & Fragrance oil.

There's also a current discount code listed here. (You say "enabler" like it's a bad thing! )

Thank you thank you thank you!!!! I will spend the evening reading through it and I may use that code;-)!!!!

I'm trying CO yet again. For the third (or fourth?) time. I just can't resist.

My hair is so frizzy and unhappy with every shampoo I've tried, and I think it wants to be wavier..

I started again today with the strawberry Suave. So far, so good.

So my wash went very well yesterday! I used a deep conditioner after my beloved Tresseme Naturals. I think my hair liked that very much, because it's very soft and very shiny and not as dry as when I only use the Tresseme!

How come you stopped coing?

glad it went well Linika so many of you seem to get good results with tresseme naturals but it just dries my hair out like straw

Oh, I'd say it's drying in my hair too, though it's not too drying. Like this wash, it feels much more moisturised than when I only use the tresseme.
I have heard opinions on it beeing too heavy for a washing conditioner, though I really can't see how it would be o.o

Also, unlike all you amazing curlies out there, I don't have much problems with friss and poof (my hair might just perhaps maybe have an inkling to wave), so it doesn't bother me overly much. I am going to use the deep conditioner for a while though. My hair feels amazing today :3
