What is Co Wash?
The term co-washing might be new to you, but it was created many years ago by the curly hair community. This word is short for "conditioner-only hair washing" and means that you use conditioner only and no shampoo whatsoever to keep your hair clean and moisturized. The concept of using a co-wash product was once only reserved for people with curly hair, but today, it's available for anyone who wants to clean their hair using unconventional means.
Shampoo For Curly Hair
While regular shampoo does a great job of cleaning your hair, it can also strip it of its beneficial natural oils. Conditioner is designed to smooth the hair shaft and deliver moisture to keep your hair soft and shiny, but it can also weigh curly hair down. Using conditioner by itself won't get rid of impurities, product buildup, and other things that can make curly hair fall flat. That's why a co-wash is a great alternative to shampoo for curly hair. Washing your hair using this product can keep your hair clean while maintaining a healthy, beautiful bounce. It's best to wash your hair every two to three weeks with a clarifying cleanser to remove any excess co-wash product that may buildup over time.
How To Use Co Wash
People with any hair type can use co-wash products, but it's best to find formulas that are specific to your unique hair needs. Not only is the right product important, but so is the application technique. These products can be highly beneficial as long as you know how to use them the right way.
- Start by soaking your hair with warm water until it's thoroughly saturated, then squeeze the excess water out.
- Apply a generous coat of the co-wash to your hair and scalp until everything is completed coated. If your hair is very thick or long, you may need to apply it in sections.
- Gently massage the product into your scalp using your fingertips to help exfoliate, then rinse the product thoroughly with warm water.
- If your hair is particularly dry or damaged, you can apply two applications.
- You can use a traditional conditioner to add more moisture to your hair. When applying it, pay special attention to the ends.
- Always rinse all product out of your hair completely before drying and styling it.
- Follow up with a clarifying shampoo every two to four weeks to help remove excess buildup.
With some practice and regular use, you'll find that co-wash products can do wonders for your hair.
