Insights from our curly-haired customers.

Welcome to your ultimate guide to co-washing, curated by the curly hair experts at Creative Hair Studio. As the chilly winds whirl around Blackminster Business Park, we’ve discovered it’s the perfect moment to delve into a gentler approach to your curly hair care routine. Co-washing—washing your curls exclusively with a conditioner-based product—is increasingly popular among our community. Often celebrated as part of the ‘Curly Girl Method’ or ‘No Poo Method,’ this technique helps preserve your hair’s natural oils, keeping your curls luxuriously lush and hydrated.

What Exactly is Co-Washing?

Co-washing, short for “conditioner washing,” means skipping traditional shampoos and using a conditioner-based product to cleanse your hair. This method focuses on maintaining more of your hair’s inherent moisture, thus nurturing those beautiful curls.

Customer Feedback on Co-Washing

Many of our curly-haired customers have shared that traditional shampoos were too harsh, especially in the cold, dry months. Switching to the Only Curls Cleansing Co-wash has transformed their routine, offering a more hydrating cleanse suitable for daily use. Here’s what a regular customer, Emily, had to say: “Since switching to co-washing, my hair feels softer and more manageable, even in winter!”

Why Co-Wash?

Based on feedback from dozens of clients, co-washing with a balanced product like the Only Curls Cleansing Co-wash can profoundly change your hair’s health and appearance. Its unique cream-based formula is more moisturising than typical cleaners yet lighter than standard conditioners. It effectively removes dirt without stripping essential moisture, thanks to its gentle, non-foaming surfactants.

Key Ingredients Our Clients Love

Our studio’s chosen co-wash is packed with ingredients that our clients have reported truly revitalising their curls. More information can be found here.

How to Use Co-Wash for Optimal Results

Our clients have developed their own rituals around co-washing. Here’s a tip from Sarah, another loyal client: “After massaging the co-wash into my scalp, I flip my hair upside down and scrunch. It really helps define my curls as I rinse the product out!”

Do You Need a Conditioner Afterwards?

This is a common question, and the answer varies. Our client, Lisa, suggests trying without at first: “I used to use a conditioner every time, but after switching to co-washing, I found that just the co-wash followed by the Hydrating Curl Crème gave my curls enough moisture.”

Clarifying: Essential According to Our Clients

While co-washing is fantastic for maintaining moisture, our clients stress the importance of a clarifying wash now and then to remove any lingering build-up. “I add a clarifying wash every fourth time I co-wash to keep my curls feeling fresh and bouncy,” mentions Julie, a three-year co-washing enthusiast.
