The Co-wash in a nutshell
A co-wash stands for "conditioner only wash" and is the perfect middle ground between a conditioner and shampoo for anyone following the Curly Girl Method.
For co-washing, you can use a cleansing conditioner to gently cleanse your hair (between washes).
There are multiple types of co-wash products, our special cleansing co-wash conditioner contains more cleansing ingredients than a normal conditioner.
Deep cleansing with shampoo too often can be just a little too stripping for your hair. A co-wash is the solution for anyone following the Curly Girl Method who wants to wash their hair more than once a week. This is why we recommend alternating our products to retain as much moisture in the hair as possible.
The oils our scalp produces take longer to migrate to the hair strands when you own curls. With straight hair, this happens much faster. So when you wash your hair with a shampoo that contains a lot of harsh cleansers your hair stays dry. Curls are naturally drier anyway. A co wash helps with this, as it keeps your scalp hydrated.
Benefits
There are many advantages when you use the co wash. We have listed the most important ones for you:
- Co-wash for curly hair

- Moisturizes your curls
- Contains quinoa and tamanu oil

How to Use
The co wash conditioner is easy to use but we give you a few more guidelines to use the conditioner most effectively:
1. Wet the hair in the shower with warm water.
2. Then apply a generous amount of the co-wash to the scalp.
3. Gently massage the product in.
4. If necessary, apply some more water to your curls to easily distribute the cowash.
5. Do not forget to spread the product all over your skull. This includes the back and sides. These areas can sometimes be forgotten, so pay attention to them.
6. Next, scrub your scalp with your fingers to loosen the dirt.
7. After that, rinse out your curls.
8. Comb your hair through on soaking wet hair with a coarse comb or brush.
9. Let your curls dry. Next, get to work with your styling products. Just keep in mind that you don't use any other hair products with silicones.
10. Do you suffer from extremely dry hair? Then you might want to use a conditioner.
