Textured Hair and Wavy Hair
Textured hair typically has tight curls with an elliptical shaft. This makes it porous and prone to breakage or dryness. Nevertheless, this type of hair tends to respond well to left often washing, which allows natural oils to coat your hair. Co-washing may help with this problem because the method does not use harsh surfactants that would further remove moisture from hair. In addition, it would help lock in water that comes in your hair while taking a shower. Consider using a leave-in conditioner after co-washing to attract more moisture. [9]
Wavy hair has an oval-shaped shaft that is more porous and susceptible to frizz and dryness. People with this hair type may respond differently to co-washing. In general, it is suitable for individuals with dry or thick hair when they use more intensely hydrating and thicker products. People with finer hair should shampooing more frequently and co-wash with a lighter conditioner. [10]
