No your hair will dry out. Try asiam coconut cowash or Eden body works cleansing cowash

As a part of a natural hair care regimen, we wash our hair to cleanse it but too much shampooing will strip our hair of its natural oils and make it dry. Dry hair causes breakage. Therefore, we do a method called co-washing in between shampoos because it is more gentle on our hair and puts in moisture instead of taking it out. You can use any good conditionor for a cowash but this product is made specially for natural black hair care is all. I sometimes use this but highly recommend only 100% narural hair products on natural black hair. Try www.alikaynaturals.com and good luck! She has a youtube page as well. "Blackonyx". Also youtube "cowashing for natural hair"

The short answer is that you CAN use it in the place of shampoo. For me it works best as a refresher in between using traditional shampoo. I alternate between the two. It will be gentler on your hair and your scalp will be clean, but it depends on your texture and how often you wash your hair, etc. Hope that helps

You can use any conditioner instead of shampoo as MissJ suggests. Pantene and Asiam have done a 'great job' in naming their products 'co-wash', but as MissJ mentions, it is a process. You may want to consider what feels good to you and your hair and wash when you feel it's necessary (to Jen's point)

Yes you only need to use this product. However, sometimes I will use shampoo before. It can make your hair feel greasy.

You certainly can, but you don't have to. I go understand that the Big 3 shampoo exhances the action of Lipogaine minixodil. But the shampoo alone neutralizes DHT. I only use the shampoo and my hair is better than ever.

I think the shampoo would not harm your hair if you are using weave as well. It gentle enough that you shouldn't have a problem.

It's very safe because the shampoo its self is a conditioner texture like liquid . It's like washing your hair with your conditioner at home . There is no foam like regular shampoo so Wen's cleaners doesn't have that strong chemical to wash out colors.

hello---this is not a medicated shampoo and probably not the best choice for your condition. Thanks....

I shampoo normally. And then I left it in for a couple minutes while showering. Then rinsed. Hope it helps!

You can use it alone but depending on your hair you might want to/need to use shampoo sometimes

I have the same problem, but I would NOT recommend you putting shampoo in this product. I use this product for my "cow-lick/bedhead" not for cleansing my hear.

Separate from regular wash - avoid fabric softener, etc... [I do wash with microfiber towels.]

I have not used it as a shampoo. However, I don't know why it couldn't be used as such--it does not make a lot of suds and leaves no waxy residue on the skin, which would logically mean it would react the same on hair.

I mix some in with my normal shampoo every time I wash my hair. This shampoo is a little expensive and I like to stretch it out. Also, Aveda Invati shampoo is a little drying. Mixing some with my shampoo keeps it from drying out my hair. I use about 1/3 Invati and 2/3 shampoo with the first washing. Just regular shampoo with the 2nd washing.

The MyPillow website specifically says to use Regular cycle, not Delicate, and to dry on High. Here's a link to their FAQs, which include washing instructions: http://www.mypillow.com/mypillow-faq.html

Co-wash is short for "conditioner washing." A shampoo is not a conditioner, therefore it's not considered a "co wash." You can however use the conditioner for a co-wash. As far as if the shampoo is too harsh for coily hair, only your hair can determine that. My twin is a 4a and says this shampoo is more of a clarifying shampoo for her.

No. When you wash your hair it does not lather up like traditional shampoo. But it does clean well.

Yes, it's formulated for daily use but I only use it 2-3 days a week. I have fine hair and like to use the Pantene 2 in 1(Shampoo + Conditioner) Volume shampoo on other days. It seems to provide the manageability I need & I've noted no yellowing of my hair as a result. Hope this helps.

Maria i use anaphase because of a dermathologist recomendation. Using this shampoo makes your hair ready to use proper medication. I think it is better you look for a doctor
