I have tried CO wash method many times, with different conditioners and nothing seemed to work. My scalp is very oily and so is my face. Hairline gets oily very fast. And co wash will not get rid of my natural oils even after one day of shampoo.
I read somewhere in the forum that conditioner will clean better if you do the first step on dry hair! And voila! I cant believe it! It worked! My scalp is as clean as it is with shampoo. (and sometimes I even have to wash twice with shampoo to get rid of sebum)
Anyway, I just wanted to share my success here because maybe it will help someone else who has an oily scalp like me :)
I used VO5 clarifying conditioner (kiwi lime). I put quite a lot on my scalp, on DRY hair. I used a little bit of water to help distribute the conditioner better. I did a scalp massage for a couple of minutes and put a shower cap on. 30 minutes later I got in the shower and rinsed it with warm water, for a couple of minutes. Then applied VO5 kiwi lime conditioner again on scalp, and SUAVE Coconut on lenght. Rinsed with warm/cold water for a couple of minutes and massaged scalp.
(vinegar rinse on lenght after)
Yes it looks like a lot of work but I wash my hair three times a week and the shine, softness and manageabilty after CO washing method is worth it !!!
Also if you have any more tips for oily hair, you are more than welcome to post them here!
Happy New Year!
