Is There Any Legitimacy In The Popular "Co-Wash" Hype Among Naturalistas?



There was a day when women with ethnic hair would run at the presence of water! I was one of those people.  When relaxers, jheri curls and other chemical treatments were more popular to wear, women felt that water would ruin their do’s.  Today, I encourage you to view water in a different light. Try to see water as an opportunity to hydrate or restyle your curls.

Hydrating Co-Wash

Utilize the co-wash option in between shampoos.  Co-washing will gently cleanse your hair of mild product and dirt and allow the water to hydrate your curls, and then gently seal your cuticle.  It will not provide a deep penetrating condition but it will gently hydrate and get you through to your next scheduled cleansing day.  Co-washing will work best if you use organic natural hair care products regularly as these do not create a build up on your hair shaft. 

Re-Styling Co-Wash

Co-washing is also great for changing your style.  Our hair is very moldable, especially when wet. Feel free to adda little hydration and prep your hair for your next look.  Most women find that co-washing can help the style last longer compared to “dry styling.”

So give it a try, and utilize these two options for co-washing.  You just might like it!
