If you’re finding your curls are dry, lifeless, and difficult to style, then it may be time to reconsider how you’re washing your curls. Remember, shampoos at their most basic function are detergent, and the purpose of a detergent is to wash away oils. Therefore, if you’re putting a shampoo through your curls, you’re washing away all oils, including the natural ones your strands need to be healthy. As a result, you might want to think about how cowashing can benefit your curly hair. This method has been embraced by curly girls everywhere, and now’s your turn to give it a try.

How cowashing can benefit your curly hair
Adding moisture:
Curls need moisture to be healthy. Without enough moisture, strands become brittle, dry, and frizzy, which most of us don’t want to deal with when it comes to our daily lives with curls. That’s where cowashes come into play. Cowash replaces moisture that’s normally lost during the cleansing process.
Alleviates dandruff:
Is there anything more annoying than an itchy scalp, and those flakes on your shoulders? The moisturizing formula of cowash ensures that your scalp won’t dry out, which can make chronic issues like dandruff or psoriasis become less difficult to manage.
Minimizes shedding:
When you’re trying to grow out your curls, or keep your strands healthy, it’s really irritating when you have a lot of shedding with your curls. Keeping your scalp moisturized will make sure your follicles are healthy. Moisturized curls also will be much less prone to breakage, which means you’ll see a lot less hair on your pillow or in your shower.
Less knots:
One of the best ways to keep knots at bay, you might want to consider a cowash. Since this cleanser is a conditioner based, it will help create more slip. This means your curls won’t be as likely to knot around themselves, or to snarl. Once you apply your cowash, you can use that time to work on remove knots or snarls.
Creates definition:
Almost everyone wishes they had more definition. If you cowash, you might notice that your curls are popping up into shape more regularly. Cowash infuses your strands with moisture and hydration, which is a perfect environment for your curls to shine.
