The lot of people who use the CG method conditioner
wash, referred to by many as “co-washing”. Conditioner has much gentler
surfactants, which cleanse your hair and scalp without stripping it like sulfates do. To anyone
whose saying, “ewww, I can’t not wash my hair, that’s gross!” It’s really not
gross. My hair actually feels cleaner and smells better than it did when I was
washing my hair with shampoo. I was paranoid about it at first and had my mom
constantly smell my hair. Never had a problem. And my hair gets less greasy
even after 3 or 4 days of not co-washing it than it did after a day or 2 of not
washing with shampoo. These days, I go about 2 days between co-washes in the
summer and about 3 days between co-washes in the winter. And my hair has never
looked better.
For co-washing, a conditioner that is silicone-free needs to be used. There are a few options at the drug store for this. I co-wash with Suave Naturals Coconut conditioner. It’s
cheap, easy to find, and it smells delicious. I probably will stay with this
for a long time for those reasons. I use this the most and can’t imagine paying
any more for something that I am rinsing out. This shampoo is very liquid-y in contrast to a lot of the rinse out conditioners that I use, which I will get to later, which make it easier to wash with. Like I said before, I use a lot of this. I use about a half dollar size dollop on each section of my hair (one on the front, each side, the nape of the neck, and the crown area). So that is a lot of conditioner. I put it on towards the roots and then scrub my scalp with my fingertips for about two minutes to make sure I get all the dirt and oil. Then rinse. It's as easy as washing with shampoo.
