Questions & answers about Co-Wash for curls
A co-wash is a mild alternative to shampoo that gently cleanses the curly mane without creating a strong lather. Co-Wash is specially formulated for cleansing and is therefore not a conditioner, even if the texture is nourishing. Dirt is gently removed without stripping too much of the curls' natural moisture. Co-wash can help to keep curls supple and reduce frizz. For complete care, it is recommended to use an additional conditioner after the co-wash so that the curls are optimally nourished.
Co-Wash is particularly suitable for strong, pronounced curls and curl types that tend towards afro curls. These curls often require a lot of moisture and are less likely to become weighed down. If you have a lot of wavy or finer curls, however, Co-Wash can be too heavy, causing the curls to lose volume or appear flat more quickly.
Co-Wash can be used between washes if you want to gently cleanse your curly mane without degreasing it too much. Co-wash is particularly suitable if your curls look dry or need extra moisture. Many curly heads alternate between shampoo and co-wash depending on their needs.
Co-wash can have a weighing effect on some curl types, especially on finer or wavy curls. The curls can lose their bounce and appear less airy. However, with strong curl structures, co-wash is often a good way to intensively care for the curls and reduce frizz.
Co-Wash is particularly suitable for dry curls as it moisturizes at the same time. This keeps the curly mane supple and the natural structure of the curls is better preserved. Strong curls in particular benefit from this gentle care.
Apply the co-wash to wet curly hair and massage it gently into the scalp. Then rinse thoroughly and finish with conditioner.
