Why I stopped Co Washing.

I am not trying to convince anyone to stop co washing I'm sharing my experience just in case someone else had the same problem I had they can try it out.

 If you have been following my website you know about my past battle with dandruff, if your new to my website my scalp used to hate me and flake up and be super itchy all the time. My old wash schedule was that I would wash my hair every week, co washing for two weeks and  then wash with shampoo.  So I would wash my hair with shampoo for about once a month. Once I got tired of scratching until my scalp was bleeding I began doing natural remedies to cure my dandruff and the one that I do requires me to wash my hair with shampoo then do a apple cider vinegar treatment. I ran out of acv and kept forgetting to buy some more so I just kept shampooing my hair every week and my scalp has loved be ever since I stopped co washing.

I once heard that co washing is like washing dirty clothes with fabric softener or taking a shower with lotion. Now when I wash my hair I use a shampoo that is sulfate free and has tea tree oil in it (I did a product review on it). The way shampoo my hair has changed, letting the shampoo sit in my hair for a little bit and giving the shampoo time to work really changed the feel of my hair. It actually feels soft after I shampoo instead of that dry super stripped feeling. My hair just works better for me when I have shampooed hair.

So do you co wash and have success of do you need shampoo in your life?
