My hair just started feeling nice after my last CO wash and I'm thinking I want to wash again because I think, if I don't, my scalp will start itching again and I've been having such a nice time with the itch tamed. The conditioner I'm using is Suave Naturals coconut, and I think it washes too well. My hair always feels a little stripped when I co with it. I wonder if I should try something heavier? Maybe use more leave-in or make sure the leave in makes it to my scalp?
I've been massaging the conditioner into my scalp before I get in the shower to loosen things up and it's been working way better than shampoo, but I don't like washing my hair this often and my scalp rebels if I don't. I know CO is supposed to be gentle enough to do every day, but I prefer day or two old hair, longer if I can swing it.
I've been doing CO for about a week, so should I keep washing every other day for another two weeks and then start stretching as my scalp adjusts to not being abused, or stretch now and maybe pay the price by suffering through itching tomorrow? I was using SLS shampoo before that.
