Re: Does your hair get greasy using the CO washing method?
Yes, you use it on your scalp. It has enough cleaning agents in it to clean the scalp without stripping the hair.
No, you should not be greasy and "get used to it". Your hair should feel clean and light, but more moisturized and softer than with S&C.
Are you following the directions in the CO article?

Re: Does your hair get greasy using the CO washing method?
1. I use it on the scalp, and quite heavily too. When I CO I get all my hair completely conditioner-saturated, but more attention goes to the scalp as that is where the oil is.
2. I did attempt once CO earlier, but not correctly - I used a heavy conditioner and didn't use enough. I got greasy results. It wasn't clean at all. I only did it for that wash because it looked bad. The top was frizzy and the main part of the hair was heavy and stringy.
I have heard that some people have a detox period when doing CO, but I imagine that's affected by how you've cleaned your hair in the past. I previously used sulphate-free shampoo so it wasn't a drastic difference.

I don't think my hair has been greasy in my lifetime! I conditioner only wash and my hair always has a tendancy to be dry rather than greasy.

Re: Does your hair get greasy using the CO washing method?
It was just the opposite for me. The first couple of times that I did it, I thought CO was the most wonderful cleansing method EVER. However, the more times I did it, the more coated, lank, and awful my hair became. CWC with diluted shampoo; that's the ticket (for me). I throw a CO into the mix every once in awhile if I feel I've been washing my hair too often.
