What is co-washing?

In the constant desire to have beautiful and well-groomed hair, women all over the world are ready to experience new and new methods that can help even in the most hopeless and neglected cases. One such popular method was Co-washing. Its name comes from two English words, conditioner and washing. The method implies the use, as the main detergent, not the usual shampoo, but an air conditioner.

Followers of Ko-Voshin believe that frequent use of a shampoo containing aggressive surfactants can severely harm hair, making them dry, brittle, dull. But washing your head with only an air conditioner, on the contrary, helps restore your hair to life.

The promise is tempting, but let's look at everything in order.

Who should use the method of co-voshing?

Terms of useCo-ishing

It is necessary to understand that Co-voshing is a non-universal method of washing hair, and it can not completely replace the use of a shampoo.

  1. If you have too dirty hair, it is better to use shampoo, and not a conditioner, since the latter contains less active surface substances and can not properly wash your hair. As a result, you risk getting all the same dirty hair.
  2. It is necessary to alternate the washing of the head with the method of Ko-shashing and washing the head with the usual shampoo. For example, you can resort to Ko-voshin after using sports to wash away sweat or after the pool to neutralize the negative effect of bleach on the hair. If the hair is not fresh enough, but it's too early to wash them with shampoo, Ko-Vashing will also come to your rescue.
  3. Be sure to use an air conditioner that does not contain parabens and silicones. This is important, since silicones have the feature of creating a film on the surface of the scalp, through which the nutrients cease to be supplied by the hair.
  4. When using Ko-Vosh, try to avoid drying the hair with hot air, allowing hair to dry naturally or with a cold hair dryer, lightly dabbing them with a towel.
  5. This kind of washing hair is not suitable for owners of normal and fatty type of hair. There is a chance of not getting washed hair or making the situation even worse.
  6. It takes time to get used to the new method of washing. After two to three weeks, the hair after co-voshing should be as clean as after regular washing using a shampoo. In the event that accustoming does not occur, you should try to replace the air conditioner or give up this type of washing hair.

How does the procedure go?

The method itself is very simple:

As a result of this method, you will really get beautiful, smooth and well-groomed hair. But do not forget that this is just a method that allows you to visually improve the condition of the hair, and not a panacea for all problems.
