I was just wondering if Co washing to often can dry hair out? My hair is naturaly dry and my scalp produces almost no natural oils.

What's too often? I know there are members who CO every day, and they do that because it keeps their hair soft and moisturized. It depends on the hair I suppose, but generally speaking I doubt CO can be drying since you only use conditioner which is designed to moisturize hair and give it slip.

My hair is on the dry side and scalp produces very little to no oil. I usually wash my hair once a week, doing a CO on my length and WO on my scalp (no oils - no point in trying to wash them out). If I feel that my ends are drying out, and wash my hair even if the week's not up yet. If you feel like you need to CO it more often to keep the ends healthy, I think you should go for it.

It seems the more often I get my hair wet, condition it and moisturize it - the less dried out it feels. If I went a whole week without water and moisture, my hair would be straw!

You need to experiment and find out what is right for you.

I will give it a try at doing it more often.

I CO everyday. I've been doing that about one month. I don't have any complaints either.:)

That is a good question... I have never had a problem with it. It actually has made my hair more balanced over time.

I co-wash every time I get my hair wet, which is never on a set schedule, but I never 'wash' it except to co-wash.

Seems to work well for me.

I CO every two- three days, my hair never feels dried out - and I bleach it too.

I imagine it's possible, but not very likely once you figure out the right schedule. Everyone is different. I CO every 4-5 days. I don't think doing it more often would dry my hair out, but I'm not sure it would be more beneficial, either.
