Co-wash with hair mask?

**Martukita** · December 27th, 2011, 02:06 PM

I was wondering if a cone free hair mask would be fine to do a co-wash. I have got one that I love so much (Garnier Oleo Repair) and makes some lather. What you think about it? Thanks!!

Now my hair is still wet but I'll report you my results in the morning!

I think it would be fine to do occasionally. When I do an SMT or other deep treatment with conditioner I don't shampoo, so I guess it could be considered a co-wash. It might be a little rich and not cleansing enough to use it as your only means of "washing" though.

I think it's fine- actually if you look at the back of most hair masks you'll find they have the same ingredients as the conditioner.

I will try it later then. Crossed fingers it cleans my hair well!

It's going to be my first cowash!!

I have done that for a long time now and it really works. CO "the proper way" didnt work for me at all, but when I tried a deep conditioner instead of a regular conditioner it works awesome

The one that I use is really thick and I think thats great! Try it

I do that, but not every wash.

I think that would be to heavy for my hair.

About once a week I CO with what's called a hair mask, but is just a very very thick conditioner and it works nicely. There is no reason not to use a mask, just depends whether your hair gets on well with that mask or not I guess.
