Anybody in here not actually "wash" when they co-wash but just wet their hair in the shower and just put conditioner in their hair and rake it through?
I usually wash my scalp and then run the conditioner through my hair when i co wash, detangling w/my fingers or comb...but lately i don't do that everyday. I hope i'm making sense

I tried it a week or so ago but didn't continue only because i am trying to work on the moisture levels in my hair. MahoganyCurls was stating this is what she does. She cowashes 1x a month and then water rinses the other times.
When I get my moisture levels up I plan on doing that because I don't think there is a need to cowash so many times a week. I think a good water rinse should work just fine.
I don't know if that was any help

i dont actually "wash" when i do it...which is why i have trouble calling it "cowash" and always refer to it as "rinse & condition" instead.
i dont put the conditioner on my scalp (not intentionally, anyway....it does end up there sometimes haha) and i dont scrub my scalp with conditioner on it. i rinse my hair with the water for a few minutes...i'll kinda gently rub my scalp and then let the water run on it some more before i put the conditioner on my hair.
i tryyyyy to get as little product on my scalp as possible (cant say i always succeed)...i get itchies quickly...my scalp doesnt like anything on it, really.

I "wash" my hair as much as I can with conditioner. I rake it though my hair in sections and rinse. When I really want to wash it, I use a cleansing conditioner.
I guess what MahoganyCurls does works because she cowashes her hair so often and generally only use conditioner to moisturize and style. I don't know about you but I need oils to seal my hair as well or else it will be dry as a desert. I also use light gels sometimes which needs to be washed out.

Iuse this same method. I don't put any conditioner AT ALL on my scalp.

Yup. I don't put conditioner on my scalp, just the length of my hair. I use water to cleanse my scalp whenever I co-wash. Conditioner on my scalp causes it to itch.

I'm not really sure
My hair isn't the best to gauge anything by because she is so tempermental. I am going to have to try it again to give you an honest answer. I had no adverse affects which is good. But I can't really rate this yet. Its definitely not terrible but can't say yet whether its worth buying. My hair felt ok after rinsing but I didn't pay attention to whether it felt strong or soft. I was able to easily get my hair to the softness I like when I cowashed after.

I'm doing the CG method and had to use conditioner everytime. Now that my hair is more hydrated, I can get away with running water through my hair and may add a little conditioner to it.

I have cowashed everyday this Memorial Weekend since I've been either hiking, running, or sweating of some sorts. I've used Tresemme Naturals as my leave-in. Today, I plan on wearing twists after cowashing.

This may have been asked, but are you all detangling after ever co-wash?

charmtreese I do but with my fingers as I'm airdrying.

I do but my hair sheds a lot. If I don't detangle each time the shed hair will start to mat. I am sure everyone doesn't have to detangle each time. I know I have read of people cowashing and just detangling 1x a week.

Thanks ladies, I have fine (which im finding out is not as fine as I once thought) 4b/a hair. I've been using seamless combs to detangle after co-washing, but felt like that might be too much manipulation. I do see a moderate amount of shed hair, but not much breakage. I may alternate finger detangling and detangling with a comb if I cowash multiple times a week.
Ive been adding SAA to my spray bottle and my hair is not tangling as much.

I Fully Detangle after rinsing out my DC'er.
Between Cowashing & Deep Conditioning, I don't detangle.
I Detangle upon rinsing out my DC'er.
I do both: Cowash & Deep Condition.

Wow, I am soooo bogus!
I have not cowashed my hair in about a strong week and a half. My V05 has been looking at me while I shower, just shaking its head. I am hoping to get in the swing of things some time this week. If you all don't hear from me by next week someone please dial 9-1-1.

I Cowashed why Tresseme Naturals! I've been doing it everyday and washing on Fridays and Saturdays. I tried detangling a few times, but it just frizzed out my coils so now i stick to using my hands. I have a twa so when it gets longer in might start
