So I think the takeaway here is that co-wash is an alternate form of moisturizing your hair not an alternate way to cleanse it. My hair loves co-washing, but I never use it as a substitute for my weekly wash and deep condition. If it works for you, then keep doing it, but cleanse your hair frequently. If it doesn't work, just stick to the LOC method of moisturizing. Anyway, I always love these videos. They're so informative
Cowashing makes my hair grow like crazy. I use only V05 conditioner 6 days straight. Then on the 7th day I use a clarifying shampoo and deep condition. The entire process makes my curls so defined and soft.
For kinkier and curlier hair you have to co wash everyday to keep it moist and hydrated. Is the way it's been explained. Cleanse once a week to get off residue from the week.
@@sonsofelshamy3987 not with shampoo. so it’s not stripping. with only conditioner is basically like re-moisturizing. it’s easier because you’re in the shower and completely wetting your hair so it’s more effective
I really love this video alot. I think alot of people have issues with co washing because they're litterally using regular rinse out conditioners to cleanse their hair but I recommend anyone who wants to co-wash to use an actual co-wash cleanser that is formulated to lightly cleanse the hair and scalp because it won't build up on the strands like it would if you use a regular conditioner that's not meant for cleansing impurities and oils.
PLEASE EDUCATE THESE 4C HAIR GIRLS THAT DON'T HYDRATE THEIR HAIR FOR WEEKS ON END AND THEN COMPLAIN ABOUT SSKS, TANGLES, FAIRY KNOTS AND BREAKAGE. sorry for the capitals. Human body can't go more than 3 days without drinking water, so why are people letting their naturally dry hair do the same???? People will take more care of their wigs than their real hair it's hilarious
Co-washing made my hair so manageable, I grew and retained so much length in that time period. Super easy to detangle, easy to protein balance. I stopped coz everyone said its bad and I'd damaged my hair, with but my biggest hair regret was stopping cowashing. Lesson learned: Listen to my own hair, not CZcams
So true about putting conditioner on your scalp. I used to rub in deep conditioner and conditioner on my scalp and then rinse my hair but it made my scalp irritated. Thank you for so many informative and well researched videos.
I love you how you debunk myths and make it clear that you don’t have to completely remove things but instead do these things correctly 👏🏽 CZcams is misleading they have one bad experience and completely eliminate beneficial things. So glad I found this channel
It TOTALLY makes sense to me to wash my hair after three days. I can’t even go longer than three days without washing. But then my hair is very fine and curly-the buildup is real, even with minimal product. I just can’t imagine going longer than three days.
OH MY GOSH I'M GOING TO WASH MY HAIR RIGHT NOW!!! This explains why my scalp has not been happy despite moisturizing efforts 😭 thank you for this video!
I co wash with As I Am coconut cleansing conditioner and I have never experienced what's illustrated here. My hair continues to grow and maintains moisture. I also use Zuresh Get it Wet to maintain moisture so I believe that you have to know what's good for your hair in order to get good results. So glad you teach us. Keep up the great videos.
I use carol’s daughter cleansing conditioner and same for me. My hair - and scalp both love it. My hair no longer feels stripped. I think using a cleansing conditioner (one actually *made* for cleaning) is different from using a regular conditioner and calling it ‘cleansing’
That' probably why people using Wen went bald. Rubbing the conditioner into the scalp. I co-washed for a while and because of scalp irritation, started using shampoo (helped a lot).
Wow I just finished several months of protective styling and my hair had so much residue after my second wash and go... but it was a cowash. It took 4 clarifying shampoo treatments to get my hair clean. I decided I would shampoo and then cowash on day 3, and then shampoo again on day 7. No more buildup and I swear my hair has grown in two weeks! Now I know why I looooove this channel thanks for the time and research you put in!
TiMalice2009 ewww beacause my scalp itches like a scalp does or because i put conditioner on my hair and it was getting to my scalp...ewww to what? Did I miss somthing?
i cowash my hair in between shampoos... its been REALLY helping me with my dryness....It seems that now I shampoo either twice a month or every other week.
Pease please do a video on protein treatments. If yes could you please cover the proper way to do them, how to know when you need one and the best type of protein for low porosity? Thanks much!!!
Hi lovely! Thanks for the feature :) I always enjoy watching your videos because they're so informative. I just wish there were more frequent uploads 🙈😄 Lately I've been shampooing my hair more than usual and doing less co-washing every wash day. Great video!
I appreciate this video. I stopped cowashing, as I did for the first 12 yrs of my life. Minus, yanno baby years. But after these last 7 years of not cowashing and waiting for one day to wash my hair, my hair breaks and never grows. So I'm back to cowashing. Crazy how everybodys hair reacts diff! I'm biracial with 3c/3b mix, if anyone is curious. I also use shampoo once a week and deep condition that day. I cowash every two days. I plan to do ACV clarifying once a month.
Great Video! I think this is educational and your "scritching" method as well as information on how to keep the scalp clean is a great alternative to co-washing. Goodness knows that method NEVER worked for me. Now I know why. Thanks!
You are amazing.. you need ur own television show for natural hair. Your explanation is had research proof.. clear.. and and very easy to understand. Not to mention cartoon girl easy to watch. U make it relaxing to understand such a complex part of our body. Has a 2 year natural I wish I found your videos before I spent sooo much money on products. Thanks for making it so easy to understand 👍🏾
The closest I ever got to cowashing in the beginning of my natural hair journey was mixing a conditioner with my shampoo. Later on in my journey I would switch to use the coconut cowash from As I Am. Honestly, my head would be itchy after four or five days so I set up a routine to cowash biweekly and shampoo biweekly. Of course, that was when I was desperate to hold moisture in my color treated hair before I big chopped. I think I'll only cowash again once I get my routine on deck, or if I don't use heavy products.
I cowash every other week and end my washing with ACV. My hair is better than it’s ever been. I also don’t use leave in conditioners anymore. I had dry, brittle, tangled hair when I didn’t co wash and used leave ins.
I co wash to refreshen when I’m not ready to have my wash day yet. I usually co wash mid week like Wednesday’s and then I have my wash day the next week on Friday. I used to wash my hair every week but now it’s every two weeks because my hair felt brittle every week after washing. My hair felt clean and refreshed because I use a coconut based organic conditioner. I leave it on for 15 min under a shower cap and then rinse
You are absolutely correct! Before watching this video I put conditioner mixed with other ingredients on my hair and I added it to my scalp left it in overnight and now my scalp is itching.
I used to put conditioner on my scalp and after I rinsed it out I used more conditioner😯 I experienced more hair growth during that time than I ever have in my life and my scalp was never irritated 🤔 what do you think about cleansing with ACV ?
This video was very informative. I tried co-washing when I first started wearing my hair in its natural state. I didn't like it because I have overactive scalp that needs to be cleansed weekly. It just felt like there was gunk on my scalp. Also there was no noticeable difference in the moisture level of my hair. So now I just clean my hair with a sulfate-free shampoo, use a rinse out conditioner (usually from the same line of products so that I can maintain the pH levels) and deep condition for 20-30 minutes every wash day. Then I use the LOC or LCO method for styling. If necessary, around mid-week I add a lightweight lotion to add moisture.
No I'm not throwing shade it just doesn't make sense to me. It's like wetting your body and using lotion as a soap to take a shower. It doesn't make sense. U night smell good but you won't be clean same for the hair and scalp.
kelli johnson you're right! And it actually doesn't clean anything it just moisurizes the hair but some are made to cleanse your hair and moisturize it at the same time, I think they are called the low poos, they're great!
China Dee exactly shampoo and conditioner has worked in the past, why now that same shampoo we used 15 years ago even with sulfates are so dying but as long as you condition afterwards it will be find, co washing made my scalp itchy and my hair felt coated
As a fellow co washer; I use a cleansing conditioner and do an ACV rinse 1 a month on my scalp; then I proceed to detangle with a regular conditioner or the same one. But I don’t put regular conditioner on my scalp; I put a CLEANSING CONDITIONER on my scalp!
I needed this video demonstration so bad. I never heard of co-washing before and it's only now I keep hearing it from youtube since I'm looking to improve my hair health. I never knew there's people who only wash with conditioner. It's odd to me. Even if it makes the hair feel good without shampoo.... I mean why not shampoo? Like is solely using a conditioner cheaper or something? Thanks for making this video!!
I no longer co-wash. I use either ACV of coconut vinegar or Rhassoul clay. I do use DILUTED shampoo that is completely all natural - meaning I could drink it if I was forced to. In between washing, I use a honey + water rinse to rehydrate my hair.
I never just use water for my cowash. I use distilled water and ACV which is a natural astringent and I add some essential oils to it sometime. then I apply conditioner let it sit and rinse. I never use my nails on my scalp. I'm tender headed and that scratching makes it worse. I love these videos!!!!!!
I think the animation in the VIDEOS are very informative and visually interesting and I also think it's very helpful when engaging adults but definitely kids .
Awesome! I bought shikakai and amla and I was looking for videos that would help to use these ingredients, found yours and now I have been watched many of your videos! You are great, thank you for passing your knowledge!!!
I have been learning so much on your channel! It's like every question I have is answered in some form or another plus giving me very good information to incorporate, I'm obsessed!
I have no idea why, but I'm fascinated by videos like these, although I don't have textured hair at all. Perhaps I just like to know what other people with different kinds of hair do to take care of their hair. It's so interesting to compare with my hair. I would have never thought "washing" hair with conditioner could be a thing even. I don't even use any conditioner, just shampoo because if I "co-washed", my hair would be an absolute disaster after the first time I did it.
Ladies this video is so useful. never ever use cknditioner on ur scalp its BIG NO NO. please wash ur hair with water that enough. If required add shampoo and you know it well when to use
I've recently discovered you. I'm glad you're here The knowledge is awesome. We hear so much in our natural hair journey. I didn't know which was up when I started. Think I'm going to zero in on your videos and in all my getting, get understanding. You are appreciated. THANK YOU :)
Also the product I use now keeps my hair moisturized for a week. I don’t add any products on top of it but castor oil. I used to have to moisturize my hair every day with my old products. It sucked so much lol.
Very important information, I learned something from this video, which I wish I was aware if earlier. Now I know and will not make this mistake again. Will continue following. Thank you for the knowledge Keep it coming.👍🏼
I no longer co wash. I have stuck to using one brand of products. jumping from brand to brand may also be the issue. I also use my conditioner first. leave a bit on the wash it out the. wash with shampoo twice
Kersha Beaver I tried doing that when I stared transitioning and when I tell you it might not help your hair in the long run. When you do the conditioner first your applying moisture in some way but then when you wash it with shampoo your basically rinsing out your moisture.
I actually put apple cider vinegar in my conditionner (something acidic) when i use conditionner to wash my hair, making sure it strips (??) and leave the least gunk as possible.
For there last couple of days I've been watching these videos and I'm like at an "Aawwwwww". As long as I can remember I would put conditioner on my hair and scalp. Thank you, I will not do that any more. You've shown me within in these few days in how to keep up with my hair then majority of videos I've watched that had me question should I continue with my natural journey. Thank you so much.
This is exactly why I use an ACV rinse when I cowash. This actually works for me. But than again that's clarifying the scalp so maybe that's the reason I don't have issues lol
Thank you so much for this video. I've been cowashing with Neutrogena's Triple Repair conditioner for a little while and all of a sudden certain spots of my scalp are very sensitive to the touch. I don't know if it's because of that product or not, but after this video I'll never use another conditioner on my scalp ever again. Shampoo, clay masks, and black soap only.
Green Beauty Channel ™ I did a clay mask to detox my scalp and hair and maybe 1-2 days later my scalp was fine. I was so happy. And thank you for all of your helpful videos.
Ive bee co washing for 6 months and none of these cons has happened to me. N my hair has thrived greatly. My scalp is rarely dry or itches so im confused
To be honest I don't like the marketing tactic of calling a product a "Cleansing co-wash". That's an oxymoron. A product is either adding something to your hair or removing something from your hair. It can't do both. So, if you see something labeled "cleansing co-wash" treat it like a very mild cleanser that won't strip your hair. You will still need to use a clarifying shampoo once a while to remove built-up residue once a month or once every 5 to 6 weeks. I hope this is helpful :-)
Green Beauty Channel ™ thanks for the response. I agree that your hair needs to be thoroughly cleanse and one can not simply wash hair with cleansing conditioners only. honestly I use As I Am only about twice a month. the other week I use shampoo or clay. I will look into getting a moisturizing shampoo and phase out my As I am.
I'm glad you made this video because I was considering co-washing this winter. Great advice. My question is what are your thoughts on No-Poo (specifically Deva Curls No-Poo). Is this a cleanser or co-wash? Can it be used in the scalp? Would I need to shampoo at some point?
thanks for this video love! Came just in time after finding out protein was in a clarifying conditioner is was using and having issues with products I used afterwards.
Hi, love your videos, very informative! So, I go the gym every morning and naturally my hair will sweat, does this add to product buildup and should I wash it daily ? What would you recommend?
Sweat is actually really good for your hair if its mixed with your sebum (a.k.a Acid Mantle) and its spread evenly on your hair strands. So after the gym, massage your scalp then scritch and preen your hair to spread it evenly on your hair strands. Here is a link to a video where I show you how to scritch your scalp and preen your hair - czcams.com/video/CrEBRWkPJLM/video.html And here is a link to a video that goes over what the acid mantle is - czcams.com/video/5gb7mPM_J8E/video.html
Oh my you mentioned my video. Wow thank you Green Beauty. It's such an honor. 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Thanks for all your great videos. You crack me up

Sarita Smith well said 👏🏾
Sarita Smith exactly
Sarita Smith should be called “Co-rinse”.
Thanks! I always felt that co-washing was not a replacement to shampooing. This is great!
oh shoot our cartoon girl's hair has grown nicely! lol
dundermifflin1888 I wish mine did the same 🤔
dundermifflin1888 I was thinking the same thing! hahaha
haha i remember her big chop days
Wait she got older too! Lol
Yes! Lol
Cowashing makes my hair grow like crazy. I use only V05 conditioner 6 days straight. Then on the 7th day I use a clarifying shampoo and deep condition. The entire process makes my curls so defined and soft.
You wash your hair everyday?
For kinkier and curlier hair you have to co wash everyday to keep it moist and hydrated. Is the way it's been explained. Cleanse once a week to get off residue from the week.

@@bopbop11 you shouldn't do that everyday, every 2 or 3 days sure but hair doesn't lose moisture that easily, especially when it's very kinky.
@@whatdidhesayyy5358 I didn't say that lol. One of these hair gurus did. Take it up with them!
This channel is my hair school. It teaches me so much!
Yessss I love it
Yes I feel like I’m an expert any time I’m unsure I come here

Girl I feel like I'm in school for natural hair. Love the videos.
Right! Best video I have seen about co-washing
I really love this video alot.

Correct.
I cowash once a week however I wet my hair everyday and I have 4c type hair. That routine works for me, my is never tangled at all😌😌😌😌
PLEASE EDUCATE THESE 4C HAIR GIRLS THAT DON'T HYDRATE THEIR HAIR FOR WEEKS ON END AND THEN COMPLAIN ABOUT SSKS, TANGLES, FAIRY KNOTS AND BREAKAGE. sorry for the capitals.

Very important information, I learned something from this video, which I wish I was aware if earlier. Now I know and will not make this mistake again. Will continue following. Thank you for the knowledge Keep it coming.👍🏼
I no longer co wash. I have stuck to using one brand of products. jumping from brand to brand may also be the issue. I also use my conditioner first. leave a bit on the wash it out the. wash with shampoo twice
Kersha Beaver I do this is as well.
Myeka324 I think it's better
Kersha Beaver I tried doing that when I stared transitioning and when I tell you it might not help your hair in the long run. When you do the conditioner first your applying moisture in some way but then when you wash it with shampoo your basically rinsing out your moisture.
I actually put apple cider vinegar in my conditionner (something acidic) when i use conditionner to wash my hair, making sure it strips (??) and leave the least gunk as possible.
You are so professional and informative I would love for you to give some tips on multitexture hair please 3b-4a thanks so much Blessings👍👍
Great animations. Very informative video!!! I followed the channel immediately
loving the animation.
For there last couple of days I've been watching these videos and I'm like at an "Aawwwwww". As long as I can remember I would put conditioner on my hair and scalp. Thank you, I will not do that any more. You've shown me within in these few days in how to keep up with my hair then majority of videos I've watched that had me question should I continue with my natural journey. Thank you so much.
This is exactly why I use an ACV rinse when I cowash. This actually works for me. But than again that's clarifying the scalp so maybe that's the reason I don't have issues lol
As always, this is a GREAT video! Lol! Love all the information! Thank you and keep on making these videos!
Thank You
I love your videos! So smart, straightforward and warm. ❤
True your videos are always learn something and HELPFUL!!!! Thanks for that
Can you do a video on what are the good protective styles or styles that keeps us from touching our hair and it being protected in the winter ?
Wow, I've learned so much and realize that I'm using silicone conidtioners
Esto era justamente lo que estaba buscando sobre el co-washing, gracias me ayudó mucho
Thank you so much for this video. I've been cowashing with Neutrogena's Triple Repair conditioner for a little while and all of a sudden certain spots of my scalp are very sensitive to the touch. I don't know if it's because of that product or not, but after this video I'll never use another conditioner on my scalp ever again. Shampoo, clay masks, and black soap only.
Those sensitive spots is a symptom of inflammation so good decision !
Green Beauty Channel ™ I did a clay mask to detox my scalp and hair and maybe 1-2 days later my scalp was fine. I was so happy. And thank you for all of your helpful videos.
Ive bee co washing for 6 months and none of these cons has happened to me. N my hair has thrived greatly. My scalp is rarely dry or itches so im confused
Do you ever wash your hair with a regular shampoo?
Same my scalp and hair are doing fine lol
I co wash once a week and shampoo once a month my scalp never inches
Amazing video!!! Thank you for teaching us!
Can you show a full wash day and style routine for low porosity hair!?? Please 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Wow I loved this video! Your videos are SO helpful to me being that I am a new natural!
what about cleansing co-washes that are different to the normal rinse out conditioners. these are said to have surfactants to cleanse your hair.
Natasha Nelson Yes this was my exact thought!
To be honest I don't like the marketing tactic of calling a product a "Cleansing co-wash". That's an oxymoron. A product is either adding something to your hair or removing something from your hair. It can't do both. So, if you see something labeled "cleansing co-wash" treat it like a very mild cleanser that won't strip your hair. You will still need to use a clarifying shampoo once a while to remove built-up residue once a month or once every 5 to 6 weeks. I hope this is helpful :-)
Green Beauty Channel ™ thanks for the response. I agree that your hair needs to be thoroughly cleanse and one can not simply wash hair with cleansing conditioners only. honestly I use As I Am only about twice a month. the other week I use shampoo or clay. I will look into getting a moisturizing shampoo and phase out my As I am.
Green Beauty Channel ™ hi do you know if you did a video on this DIY mayonnaise treatment I got a feeling this is not very good for hair
Very informative !!! Thank you 👍
Amazing video!!! Your videos are so helpful!!!! I noticed this was happening to me but I did not know why.
I'm glad you made this video because I was considering co-washing this winter. Great advice. My question is what are your thoughts on No-Poo (specifically Deva Curls No-Poo). Is this a cleanser or co-wash? Can it be used in the scalp? Would I need to shampoo at some point?
Great work 👏
Your Videos are Amazing ! Thank You !
I'm super excited to try this!!!
Can you use a conditioner as like a detangling aid before you clarify your hair ? Please answer you're so informative
Sure you can. As long as you wash it out and not leave it in.
thanks for this video love! Came just in time after finding out protein was in a clarifying conditioner is was using and having issues with products I used afterwards.
Hi, love your videos, very informative!
So, I go the gym every morning and naturally my hair will sweat, does this add to product buildup and should I wash it daily ? What would you recommend?
Sweat is actually really good for your hair if its mixed with your sebum (a.k.a Acid Mantle) and its spread evenly on your hair strands. So after the gym, massage your scalp then scritch and preen your hair to spread it evenly on your hair strands. Here is a link to a video where I show you how to scritch your scalp and preen your hair - czcams.com/video/CrEBRWkPJLM/video.html
And here is a link to a video that goes over what the acid mantle is - czcams.com/video/5gb7mPM_J8E/video.html
I really want to start cowashing in between shampooing which I do every 2 weeks I hate shampoo
