Steps for Using Cleansing Conditioner

Using a cleansing conditioner, often called a co-wash, is a bit different than traditional shampoo and conditioner. Here's how to do it right:

  1. Wet your hair: Thoroughly saturate your hair with water.
  2. Apply the Cleansing Conditioner: Dispense six to eight pumps of cleansing conditioner into your hand. If you have long hair, you may need more than eight pumps.
  3. Massage into Hair: Gently massage the cleansing conditioner into your hair, making sure to distribute it evenly from root to tip. Ensure all strands are fully coated.
  4. Leave it In: Allow the cleansing conditioner to sit on your hair for three to five minutes.
  5. Rinse: Thoroughly rinse the cleansing conditioner from your hair.

Cleansing Conditioner: Tips and Tricks

  • Use Enough Product: Don't be shy with the amount. The right amount will help to effectively cleanse and moisturize.
  • Focus on the Scalp: While you’ll distribute the conditioner throughout your hair, pay special attention to massaging the scalp to remove build-up.
  • Adjust for Your Hair Type: If you have oily hair, you might need to co-wash less frequently than someone with dry hair. Observe how your hair responds and adjust your routine accordingly.
  • Rinse Well: Make sure to rinse thoroughly to avoid any residue.
  • Alternate with Shampoo (Optional): While some people exclusively co-wash, others like to alternate with a clarifying shampoo every few washes.
