i have thin hair and it used to be straight, 2 months ago i stopped using shampoo, but still used conditioner, my hair got much thicker and wavier, 100% recommend, male btw
I only heard about co-washing about 2 months ago but had actually stopped the shampoo side of things probably a month earlier. I have fine hair with a wave .. I used to wash and condition my hair every 1 or 2 days depending on how it looked on the day. It was always having good and bad hair days.. sometimes dry a brittle looking and sometimes greasy with dry ends.. I never could get it right. I ran out of shampoo oneday so just conditioned it for a couple days and thats when the magic happened.. a month into it I looked up about just conditioning hair and thats when I found out about co washing.. that it was a thing after all.. My fine dry brittle hair is no more.. it shining, healthy, I have my pretty waves back.. and best of all I only have to co wash every 3 or 4 days now.. also its growing so much faster without breaking.. I wish I had known about this years ago. I don't agree that some people say its not something for fine hair because to me its the best thing I have ever done and I'm 53 years old and my hair is the best its ever been. Shampoo is the biggest scam out there lol!
Thank you so much for this comment! This is exactly what I was looking for. My hair is fine and has a slight wave to it. Sometimes it is more wavy than others. My hair also goes back and forth. Right now I am struggling with a little bit of dandruff at the front of my scalp above my forehead and hair that gets slightly greasy at the top and extremely dry at the bottom. This tells me my hair is trying to produce more oil to compensate for the dryness. I use different shampoos all targeted for hydration and only wash my hair at the most every 2 to 3 days. I am going to start trying this co washing method and see how this helps me. It is also about to be winter which is terrible on my fine hair.
This is so encouraging!! I’ve been watching other videos and well um they have stuff greasy looking hair and I was starting to think it wasn’t worth trying if I was going to look like that in 6 months LOL but this is so so encouraging! You really have beautiful hair and make it so so easy to do myself! I can’t wait to try your method tomorrow
It's definitely worth trying. Key things to remember: lots of conditioner, covering your scalp, massaging the scalp with medium pressure to lift dirt and doing that massage all over your head for a good 4-5 mins. I'd love to know how you get on 💕
Frankie White AHHHH IT WORKED! I literally dreamed about rubbing my head for 5 minutes 😂 it’s just now getting a little dry and it feels so clean. Thank you!!
Hello. Thanks for all the great info. I’m 55 years old and my thinning hair is just starting to grow back to my beautiful thick mane (chemo and meds). My hair texture has changed over the years from thick and curly, to wavy to just thick and definitely hard to control frizz. I wash my hair once a week….My question is how often should I do cowashing in my situation? Do I use shampoo and conditioner one week and then just do cowash the following week? What is your recommendation? Appreciate your help!!
Firstly, you need to ditch the shampoo all together to get the best benefits from co-washing. If your hair is similar hair to mine then I'd say you could start with conditioner washing twice a week and try to lengthen the gap so you're eventually doing it once a week :)
This was so useful! I have been fighting my curls for years and have decided it's time to embrace. With co washing do you still need to do the deep conditioning masks you would when shampooing ? X
You can use deep conditioning masks as normal but use that in replacement of conditioner/co-washing every few weeks and make sure you still massage your scalp loads to lift dirt and product build up 💕
Yes same. I'm repairing my damaged hair now from straightening it constantly. I had to cut it from all the damage and I finally got my curls back. By curls are very similar to hers.
Hello, I use different products all the time because I'm constantly reviewing new products. If I had to chose my favourite so far it would be the Xmondo Hydraglow or the Maria Nila Head and hair heal 💕
Do I need to shampoo after or before co-washing ? cuz I have dry scalp , also a bit of dandruff. Can I use my normal conditioner (suave ) for co wash ?
Hi and I have naturally curly hair. Unfortunately, I"m almost 60 and it's not as thick like in my younger years. Would co washing be beneficial for me?
Yes you can co-wash every day but it might be worth trying to train your hair so it needs washing less. When I started to do this I would still wet my hair on days I wasn't using product and gave it a good rinse to make it feel a little cleaner and refreshed 💕
Yes! The reason I wouldn't recommend for finer hair textures or naturally oily is because co-washing can make the hair feel heavier and limper as your skipping the shampoo part. If it's done properly with a light/loose conditioner then it could work but anything too heavy will create more oil and heaviness
So glad you love it! These products are on my list of products to try. I'm thinking of going back to full time co-washing in the spring and trialling a load of curly girl products 💕 let me know if there's any you'd like me to try out
Could it be possible that you weren't doing it properly? Usually co-washing moisturises the scalp so reduces dandruff. Hair lice are caught from other people, it isn't possible for them to grow on there own. They jump from other people heads. I'd suggest getting a lice comb and some treatment and treating your hair every few days until they're gone ☺️ 💕
You need to treat the lice! Do the lice shampoo & comb each section a little at a time. Don’t miss any bc if you miss one single egg, they’ll come back. Wash all your sheets, pillow cases, brushes.. in special lice wash
Ok: I like your video about co-washing. Lots of helpful info, but... Have you talked about the kinds of conditioner we would normally use to co-wash? I'm a little not sure. My conditioner has keratin, collagen and hialuronic acid..hmm I need to research more
Co washing is suitable for oily hair! You would just have to make sure you're doing it well by massaging the scalp for a long period of time and lifting the dirt away ☺️

May I ask what conditioner you use??
I have fine, thin hair and co- washing works wonders for me. It makes my hair look thicker 😊
You just answered my post.
The most helpful video on this topic! So well done and simply explained. Love your channel!
Thank you so much ❤️ more co-washing content to come 😏
@@FrankieWhiteYAY - looking forward to it :-)

Enjoy your curls 💕
I have thinish thickish straight (wavy at the ends )hair, would you recommend co-washing for me?
I’ve done research and so many websites say not to use regular. Shampoo ?? Like I have to buy a whole new product?
Doesnt the microfiber cap absorb the product as well?
Ok so I've heard not to apply conditioner on scalp ;it leads to hairfall, so is it okay to massage it on scalp???
If you're using conditioner to was your hair (co-washing) then you apply it to the scalp and massage it in to lift the dirt and grease 💕
What product do you use for conditioner? I use garnier banana conditioner.
Hello, I use different products all the time because I'm constantly reviewing new products. If I had to chose my favourite so far it would be the Xmondo Hydraglow or the Maria Nila Head and hair heal 💕
That stuff is really good
Do I need to shampoo after or before co-washing ? cuz I have dry scalp , also a bit of dandruff.
Can I use my normal conditioner (suave ) for co wash ?
I believe co-washing is just the use of conditioner. No shampoo is to be used in the equation
Co-washing completely replaces shampoo. When co-washing you cannot use shampoo, or else it isn’t a co-wash.
How often do you wash your weekly? Also are you still just using conditioner to wash your hair?
Hi and I have naturally curly hair. Unfortunately, I"m almost 60 and it's not as thick like in my younger years. Would co washing be beneficial for me?
Definitely! It might even make your hair grow/feel a little thicker x
Thank you
How often do you wash your hair with this technique?
Once a week 🥰
Can I be cowashing my hair everyday
Yes you can co-wash every day but it might be worth trying to train your hair so it needs washing less. When I started to do this I would still wet my hair on days I wasn't using product and gave it a good rinse to make it feel a little cleaner and refreshed 💕
@@FrankieWhite thank you :-)
Can you explain why it’s not for “ fine and naturally really oily” ?
Yes! The reason I wouldn't recommend for finer hair textures or naturally oily is because co-washing can make the hair feel heavier and limper as your skipping the shampoo part. If it's done properly with a light/loose conditioner then it could work but anything too heavy will create more oil and heaviness
how often do you have a co-washing?
I would only co-wash once a week but you might need to do it more often depending on your hair texture.
I use a kms cleansing conditioner and I love it
So glad you love it! These products are on my list of products to try. I'm thinking of going back to full time co-washing in the spring and trialling a load of curly girl products 💕 let me know if there's any you'd like me to try out
@@FrankieWhite Why did you stop doing it?
I have tried this method before but after washing with conditioner i got very bad dandruff and hair lice 😭 i am still struggling with hair lice 😭
Could it be possible that you weren't doing it properly? Usually co-washing moisturises the scalp so reduces dandruff.
Hair lice are caught from other people, it isn't possible for them to grow on there own. They jump from other people heads. I'd suggest getting a lice comb and some treatment and treating your hair every few days until they're gone ☺️ 💕
@@FrankieWhite thank you ❤
You need to treat the lice! Do the lice shampoo & comb each section a little at a time. Don’t miss any bc if you miss one single egg, they’ll come back. Wash all your sheets, pillow cases, brushes.. in special lice wash
Great advice 👍 💕
Lice comes from people not shampoo or conditioner. Gotta fix that
Ok: I like your video about co-washing.
Lots of helpful info, but... Have you talked about the kinds of conditioner we would normally use to co-wash? I'm a little not sure.
My conditioner has keratin, collagen and hialuronic acid..hmm I need to research more
Hey! That's a great video idea. I'll add it to my content list. Thanks so much 💕
I oil my hair, conditioner will clean my hair or not please reply 🥺
Co washing is suitable for oily hair! You would just have to make sure you're doing it well by massaging the scalp for a long period of time and lifting the dirt away ☺️
@@FrankieWhite but why did you say it’s not the best for “oily thin hair “
@@rizzo6743 may not be drying enough for curly hair and may weigh down thin hair.
Thanks ❤️
You're welcome ❤️
You are so pretty. I like your hair in the shower because it’s off your pretty face.
I am not hating but i think you look better with out your makeup😅
Haha! I think I'll take that as a compliment 😛
I think so too! Her in the shower was so naturally beautiful!
You're too kind! Thank you ❤️
