To Wash or Not Wash That Is the Question?

Before I went natural stop the process of pressing my hair everytime it revert to its natural pattern I would wash my hair with shampoo about every two weeks or so that dependent on the type of activity I was doing. I would wash my hair with load of shampoo and put a dalop of conditioner on my hair for less than a minute.(Im shaking my head as I type this) That was my hair washing techinques before I got educated

My second month of journey of being natural I would still wash my hair with shampoo and this time I added more conditioner and keep it on for 3o mins or so. Than Later I learned about the "curly girl method" to just wash hair only with conditioner(co.wash). I have been using this method ever since so a little over a year and I can tell you my hair has benifit from it a great deal. Learning about the harsh sulfates in shampoo made me use them less. I now only co. wash. I might was my hair with some shampoo but that is very rare only when I feel my hair to be very gross feeling.

The benifits of co.washing method for me

My hair has more shine to it. It is not so dull

My hair is more manageable

My coils are more noticeable

My hair feels stronger

My hair is softer than before

My hair is not as brittle as before

So What Do You Do?
