I started co washing my hair at the beginning of the year after hearing everyone's great experiences with the technique. I was satisfied with the results (though honestly I think I was more influenced by the "I wash with conditioner just because I can" factor).
Last week I colored my hair darker to more closely match my natural color. After having spent such a pretty penny for the process, I wasn't in a hurry for the color to wash away.
My stylist mentioned that pH balance (or lack thereof) in a shampoo could cause color fading. That made me wonder what the effect of co washing might have on color treated hair.
In the meantime, I started using Redken Color Extend just to be on the safe side. But I'm curious if anyone out there with color treated hair co washes, and what effect (if any) it has on their color?
