CO-WASHING VS. SHAMPOOING WHO WINS THE BATTLE

LATELY I'VE BEEN HEARING A LOT OF TALK ABOUT CO-WASHING VS SHAMPOOING AND WHILE THEIR ARE THOSE WHO SWEAR BY SHAMPOOING, THERE IS AN EQUAL AMOUNT WHO RIDING FOR CO-WASHING.

FROM MY READINGS AND RESEARCH I'VE LEARNED THE BASICS OF CO-WASHING AND THE BENEFITS OF CO-WASHING

CO- WASHING IS SHAMPOOING WITHOUT THE SHAMPOO. THE BENEFIT IS THAT YOU NEVER STRIP THE NUTRIENTS OUT OF THE HAIR. SOME PEOPLE SAY THAT CO-WASHING GROWS THE HAIR FASTER THAN SHAMPOOING. CO-WASHING SEEMS TO BE THE NATURAL HAIR COMMUNITY BIG THING RIGHT NOW.

STEPS TO CO-WASHING

1) WET YOUR HAIR IN THE SHOWER.

2) GENEROUSLY APPLY A RINSE-OUT CONDITIONER THROUGHOUT THE HAIR, PULLING THE CONDITIONER WITH YOUR FINGER FROM ROOT TO TIP.

3)MASSAGE THROUGH YOUR HAIR AS YOU WOULD WITH SHAMPOO. MAKE SURE TO REALLY GET THOSE ENDS.

4)RINSE OUT WITH COLD WATER, REPEAT, COLD WATER LOCKS IN THE MOISTURE.

5)FOR EXTRA MOISTURE, REPEAT THE STEPS BUT INSTEAD OF IMMEDIATELY RINSING THE LAST ROUND, LET THE CONDITIONER SIT FOR 10 MINUTES AND THEN RINSE.

6)APPLY LEAVE IN CONDITIONER AND STYLE AS NORMAL.

DISADVANTAGE BUILD UP FROM NOT SHAMPOOING.

PERSONALLY I THINK THAT CO-WASHING SHOULD BE MIDDLE OF THE WASHING CYCLE, REPAIR. SHAMPOOING IS STILL VERY MUCH NEEDED TO REMOVE BUILDUP, HOWEVER, CO-WASHING ALLOWS YOUR HAIR TO ABSORB NUTRIENTS.

WHICH DO YOU PREFER? CO-WASHING, SHAMPOOING, OR BOTH.
