Is it when you wash your hair with conditioner?? Do you put it by your scalp?? Does it make hair greasy?? How often should you do it??

You are only suppose to put conditioner on your tips. Putting it on your scalp will make your hair fall.

It's when you use conditioner. you're supposed to still use shampoo like once a week because just using conditioner will cause build up. co washing isn't for everyone, though. it's mostly recommended for people with curly hair because they're hair is usually drier than those with straight hair.

Just for reference, I used to do that (didn't even know it at the time lol) but it caused my hair to get greasy faster & I had a lot of build up. my hair is curly, in case you wanted to know :)

Co-washing wouldn't be good for your hair type. Like Kat said it is intended for girls with curly hair or African-American females who are transitioning from relaxed hair to natural hair

Brianna, and Kathryn, you are both incorrect. You use the conditioner as if you would use a shampoo , to cleanse the scalp as well as the hair shaft... I personally think it can work for any hair types, because mine is curly and "African American, " but it's fine , and really thick, I know that sounds... Contradictory almost but it's true. This is the true definition of co washing! I can link some websites that can give you more Info for co washing!

Here are more sites for info! It's very possible that co washing is BETTER for curly hair, but that doesn't mean that it can't work for other hair types as well! You never know until you try!
