Co-washing benefits explained.
Not all detergents are bad, by the way!
Once oil is removed from a scalp, it sends a signal that it needs to produce more oils!
Albeit logical, your scalp’s response to frequent washing begets a greasy mop.
The less washing it endures, the fewer oils it has to make.
It’s a win-win.
When should you co-wash?
Co-washing takes this no-washing idea to the next level.
I wanted to try co-washing for a few reasons.
First and foremost, I was interested to see how it would changemy scalp.
I’m also interested in learning how to let my hair dry naturally.
If you’re a recovering heat-styler too, you understand.
For years I blow-dried my hair because I could never trust it to dry without heat predictably.
I usedNew Wash Hairstory’s co-washing starter kitand unexpectedly loved the scalp tool that came with it.
There are alsooptions available on Amazon.
I have fine haira lot of itthat’s wavy and typically pretty frizzy.
It solved the biggest problem I had after giving up heat styling.
My hair maintained a hold, volume, and shape that it never had before!
The downside was how consecutive co-washing made my scalp feel.
For me, this was unfortunately not the case.
So take this feedback with a grain of salt!
Now I co-wash twice a week and wash with shampoo (my current favorite isUrsa Major) once.
