I just had an epiphany!!! I am a very new member. I joined last month and as soon as I read about the washing methods I decided to CO everyday. My hair loved it. But I also read about the possiblity of needing to clarify, so my plan was to S&C by the CWC method with Infusium (something my hair loves) once a week on Sundays after heavy coconut-oiling my length.
So, it's Sunday...I just took a shower and shampooed and conditioned using the CWC washing method after I heavy oiled my length with coconut oil and left it on for a few hours....this is all after I CO'd for the last week with VO5 or Suave....and I realized my hair really isn't that happy at all. It felt stripped. It actually felt dry-out and rough...even when it was wet! I had to put in some aveno leave-in I found under my sink to detangle it. That is NEVER my experience after CO washing! CO washing leaves my hair absolutely luxurious and tangle-free!
So, I went in my bedroom, overturned a tote of clothes and went in the bathroom and removed every product (and there was MANY) from my bathroom except my VO5 and Suave conditioners for COing and my jar of coconut oil for occasional oiling. When I go to the store tomorrow I will pick up a bottle of VO5 or Suave shampoo just to have on hand if I need to clarify.
But I am pledging to my hair right now to CO!!!! and NO MORE SHAMPOO. Shampoo is the Devil!
