Why you might benefit from “Co-Washing”

Co-washing is a term that has been bouncing around for a while. If you’re not sure about what it means, read on – it might just change the way you treat you hair.

According to Matrixhair, co-washing is short for “conditioning washing” or “conditioner-only washing.” This no-shampoo method is also referred to as cleansing conditioning or “no-poo” shampooing. It’s done with shampoo-free formulas that cleanse, balance and refresh your hair without stripping or depleting its natural oils and nutrients.

So why are natural oils and nutrients important?

It’s really a balancing act. Too much oil leads to limp, greasy locks. But in the right proportions, natural oils and nutrients keep your hair strong, shiny and supple. Without them, you could experience dryness, breakage and damage. What’s more, when your hair is damaged, your cuticles—the outside layers of each hair strand, which, in healthy hair are dense and compact–could become disrupted and irregular. This could cause your haircolor, which “lives” inside the strand, to seep out—resulting in premature color fading. Traditional shampoos rely on detergents that are chemically attracted to the dirt in your air. They’re distributed by rubbing, scrubbing and lathering, and when they’re rinsed, your hair feels squeaky clean—which isn’t always a good thing if it tends to be dry or damaged. So then you reach for your conditioner to add back moisture.

What are the benefits?

Cleansing conditioners are gentle, detergent-free, all-in-one formulas that clean, hydrate and condition hair in one step. They contain little-to-no sulfates (sodium lauryl sulfate), and they generally don’t lather. They leave hair soft and frizz free without stripping or drying. They feature “slip” which eliminates the need for the rubbing and scrubbing that causes hair-damaging friction. Most of these no-shampoo method formulas can be used daily.

In a similar way, conditioning shampoos deliver a gentle cleanse, leaving the hair perfectly moisturised – a far cry from some of the harsh shampoos out there on the market.
