CO-WASH

Hi everyone and thank you for once again returning to my blog!! For those of you that are new visiting for the first time thank you sooooo much for your time! Let's get started shall we? How many of you have heard the term co-wash for hair? Many of you have and many of you have not I presume; that is where I come in to explain exactly what it is.

Co-Wash is short for a conditioner wash without the use of shampoo. Some say that shampoo strips the hair of natural oils and others say shampooing is necessary everyday to avoid the build up of oils and products that may cause dandruff. I guess ultimately it boils down to your own personal preference.

How to do a co-wash. Do you sweat a lot ? If the answer is yes then this may be of use for you! Salt builds up in the hair from sweat causing the hair to break and split. You definitely don't need for that to happen if you are trying to regain or maintain healthy hair. A solution to that would be to put conditioner on your hair before going to workout, focusing on the scalp. It is important to do this because it helps to keep moisture in the hair and the scalp. Do that every time before doing a workout or something that may cause perspiration to your body :) such as working outdoors you get the point, and then rinse it in the shower to keep the scalp free of build up and unclogged follicles. You can do it as often as you wish to protect the hair and help grow it. Always remember salt in the hair is not good, wash immediately!!! When you rinse the conditioner out of the hair, add more conditioner to the hair and braid it up or just let it air dry if you wish and style as you wish. The less heat you use the better for the hair. I believe you can wet the hair and add the conditioner ringing out excess water of course put it in a bun or ponytail before going to workout or do the opposite, put it in dry hair and go on your merry way!! Try to focus on the scalp, and massage the conditioner into the hair/scalp not scratch in circular motion. Well this concludes my blog for the day, enjoy!!!!
