6.tie your hair up at night (I braid my hair in pig tails and put a satin bonnet on it, after co washing,aplying hair lotion, and applying gel.If i did not co wash that day.. I simply put hair lotion and gel and do the pig tails.)

One great tip I'd like to share when washing your hair that might hopefully help someone else. I co-wash with conditioner but I dont put it directly on my scalp. I don't rinse it out until I take my shampoo and wash my scalp. When I'm done washing my scalp I rinse both the shampoo and conditioner out. Once you rinse it all out you won't be left with the stripped feeling. I've been seeing great results and less tangles. Just wanted to share and if anyone has tips please share them. I'm always on the lookout for great ideals.
Quick question, how often do we report in and do we have to post a "before" picture to this thread?
Thanks again for this challenge. I'm super excited!
