    I've been co-washing for 3 weeks now, using VO5 Tea Therapy Vanilla Mint, and have only felt the need to clarify once in that time frame. I've made a lot of changes by reading this community, but co-washing is one of the best!

    Interestingly, I didn't have a oily scalp break in period at all!
    Welcome! So happy to hear it's working for you!

    I'm going to have to try leaving even more in tomorrow on all of my hair to see if SNTC is making my hair curl-happy or if my ends are just being extraordinarily contrary right now. Because this is just plain strange. I know I get wurlier on CO, which is why I switched back to it, but this is bizarre even for my hair.
    Interesting and cool! I need to try this. I'm still trying to find a proper leave-in.

    Oh, I see ^^ Enligsh is not my first language either, so that probably doesn't help ^^,

    Linika, do you have the Coop brand in Sweden? We have it in Finland (marketed as X-tra brand), and it's quite a good, cheap cone-free, option...heavily scented, but quite moisturizing as well

    I'm so happy! This worked BEAUTIFULLY! I oiled my hair last night and braided it before bed. This morning I put conditioner on my roots for about 5 minutes before I got in the shower. I then got my hair wet (warm water) and soaked my hair in conditioner.

    side note: I now know why we use cheap conditioner. I used SO MUCH.

    I left all that in for about 3 minutes and rinsed with cold water.

    I air dried and then combed it out. My hair feels fantastic and looks SUPER clean.

    I think I'm going to pick up some clarifying shampoo as well as some cheap conditioner. I plan to not wash tomorrow and hit it again on Tues.

    My ends felt amazing. Step one to repairing my hair!

    We do have coop, and I have heard of it, though I've never tried it... I probably should... but I'd have to abandon my tresseme then

    I have tresseme and dove (people like to give me hair products as gifts apparently) I'm going to try to run through them both before getting anything new, but I'm kind of happy to see that people on lhc don't care about using cheap products. Everywhere else I've been is all about the most expensive blah blah lol I'll let you all know how my first CO treatment goes!

    Eta: also, how do you know if you should clarify your hair first? Mine has been getting really tangled lately. Should I just wait and see if CO helps this?

    I'd love to know the answer to that as well.
