CoWashing & Detangling 4B Hair!

By Jenell — March 22, 2011
CoWashing & Detangling 4B Hair!

Co-Washing is a technique that entails washing your hair solely with conditioner; this includes massaging the conditioner into your scalp like you would with shampoo as well as putting it on the length of your hair.

The greatest benefit of co-washing is moisture, moisture, moisture! As well as softness and added manageability for new growth.

All you have to do to co-wash is cleanse your hair with conditioner. Everyone has their own method, you can do what works for you.

This is Step-by-Step “how to” video of how I cowash and detangle my 4b Kinky Curly Coily Natural Hair.

I’m using Butter fly clips, a duck bill clip, a Denman D31 brush, and AG Hair Cosmetices re:coil curl activating Condtioner. This is not the conditioner I usually use, but I’m testing out this product.

If you have any questions that were not answered about cowashing please dont hesitate to leave a comment!

Watch my MOISTURIZING and PAMPERING my hair video to see what I would do after my co-wash.

    I noticed the woman in the video did not apply conditioner to her scalp when co washing but since I haven’t really dry scalp and get alot of dandruff really quickly,i think applying conditioner to my scalp during a co wash would be beneficial- any advice?

      Hey Samone, the woman in the video was me :-)
      I dont apply it to my scalp because conditioner on the scalp can cause build up and irritation.

      Based on what you said about your scalp, I would suggest you moisturize your scalp really well after your wash session and not worry too much about conditioning your scalp.

      A good leave in conditioner, oil, and moisturizer will be good for you.

    How often should I cowash?  My hair is really kinky and dry, I have not come up with a  set in place routine as I’ve just started my natural journey. I need to know what to do to set in place my routine. Please help!

      Co wash once a week if you have the time.
