What is co-washing?
Co-washing the process of cleansing hair using conditioner only.
What are the benefits of co-washing?
Many moms of children with natural hair find co-washing toddler hair to be beneficial because it’s an alternative to shampooing, which can be drying to natural hair — even when a sulfate-free shampoo is used. Children with chronically dry hair benefit from co-washing the most. By co-washing you cleanse and hydrate the hair without stripping the natural oils that textured hair needs to thrive and grow.
What are the best types of conditioners to use for co-washing?
Any conditioner can be used to co-wash hair; however, the best conditioners to use are those with cleansing properties that were designed for the purpose of co-washing, such as our 2-In-1 Cleansing Conditioner. Winnie & Co’s 2-in-1 Cleansing Conditioner is the best product for cowashing because it was designed with ingredients that condition and cleanse.
Can co-washing replace shampoo altogether?
Many naturals opt-out of shampooing altogether; however, it’s recommended to at least use a traditional sulfate-free shampoo every six weeks for deep cleansing.
