NEW WASH METHOD!!
Feb 11^th, 2005 at 1:53pm

Hi All,

.... a new wash method!!! Grin

A name for a new washing method! Well, maybe others have tried it... but hey, it's the C-Cow-C or C--C
LOL! It's a cow because you've got CO and W in the same step! I didn't know how else to put it.

Just now, I put a dose of shampoo in a ketchup bottle, added 1-2 tbsp of V05 Sunkissed Raspberry, filled it to the half line and shook it up. It became frothy like cappuchino foam. Squirted on the scalp and massaged like a regular shampoo. Cutting shampoo this way added moisture and ya get the best of both worlds. The grease goes away, but the moisture can stay. Woohoo!

a dose being whatever amount of shampoo you normally use... same with the light conditioner, too. I used a 24 oz squeezie ketchup bottle, but it doesn't matter really (as long as it fits comfortably in your hand). I diluted into about 12 oz of water.

The C-COW-C!!! Yippee! Grin

You're new method sure makes sense though.

Reply #4 - Feb 12^th, 2005 at 10:38pm Actually we only have one other COW named, she's Irma. Then we had 2 of the tablet computers that would store in the baskets near the base of the computer carts. We decided these 2 were bulls (visual pun)--we named them Earl and Johnny da Bull (we had a pro wrestling fan on staff at the time).

Cairn Ex Member	Re: NEW WASH METHOD!! Reply #6 - Feb 16^th, 2005 at 2:25am Hey, sounds like a good idea! COing on my scalp has always left me too greasy, but I always feel like shampoo alone doesn't leave enough moisture, but does leave me with the frizzies. I will definitely try this next time I wash.

I really like it! Keeps my hair from getting greasy like happens with CO, but much softer and less frizzy than shampoo alone. Thanks!

Cairn Ex Member	Re: NEW WASH METHOD!! Reply #9 - Feb 20^th, 2005 at 7:10pm I tried this yesterday morning, and it worked great! I was able to mix my White Rain conditioner (which normally leaves me super oily) with my normal shampoo, and I felt sooo soft and light and clean. I did end up kinda frizzy, but that's because of the rain. Overall, a great success. Thanks for sharing, Anais!

Reply #13 - Apr 7^th, 2005 at 12:45am Been using a variation on this, to compensate for rampant frizz - I baste the length with CO, then do the COW on the scalp, rinsing the whole thing. Then I CO like regular. Lovely! I can't do just CO as it's too greasy, but this gives me jussssst enough W to compensate.
