Co-washing is one simple and easy method that will make you see a difference is your hair's health. seriously leave shampoo alone for a while because it only strips your hair of its natural oils. Oils that all hair needs to stay healthy and strong.. I've been skipping shampoo for about 6-7 months now and my thin edges have grown back in, & even though i got my hair trimmed I have about 3 inches of new growth.. my hair is softer, shinier and easier to style. When ever I feel like I need to have that clean shampooed feeling i just mix Apple cider vinegar and water in a spray bottle (about 2x a month) and mist my hair with it then rinse.. believe me shampoo is seriously damaging. Nix it for a while..
I promise you will see a difference!
