What Is Co-Washing and the Benefit?
The word “co-washing” comes from “conditioner” and “washing”. Basically, it refers to the use of a conditioner instead of a shampoo to wash your hair. In co-washing, you will apply a conditioner into the scalp and hair, then gently scrub with your fingertips to get rid of any dirt, oil, or buildup. People may choose to replace shampooing completely with co-washing or use two methods alternately. [1]
According to proponents, co-washing may have the following benefits:
– Hair is healthier and more hydrated
– Stronger hair that does not break easily
– Better curl definition and better moisture in people with curly hair
– Reduce the frequency of washing hair
– Save money on purchasing hair products
In addition, many manufacturers of co-washing products claim that this method may benefit the environment in the following ways:
– Exclude non-biodegradable ingredients
– Use plastic-free and recyclable packaging
– Get ingredients from reliable and responsible suppliers [2]
