CG Co wash

A co-wash is a 2-in-1 product that cleanses like a shampoo, but also provides the care of a conditioner. Perfect for those who want to wash regularly without drying out their hair. It's also ideal if you like a quick wash but still want to give your curls the love they deserve. Do you like to wash your hair more often? Whether it's because you exercise a lot, work in a warm environment, or just like it, a co-wash is a must for your curly hair routine!

What is a CG Co-wash?

A co-wash is an ideal 2-in-1 hair product that cleanses like a shampoo and conditions like a conditioner. It's perfect for a quick wash when you don't need a separate conditioner. A co-wash is especially great for curly hair because it contains gentle cleansers that won't dry out your hair. At the same time, it conditions your curls to keep them soft and healthy.

When should you use a co-wash?

Co-washing is ideal if you want to wash your hair more often, for example because you exercise a lot, work in an environment where your hair gets dirty quickly, or simply because you like it. Normally, you should wash your hair 2 to 3 times a week with a mild shampoo. Want to wash your hair more often without drying it out? Try a co-wash!

Please note: a co-wash is a mild cleanser and does not work in the same way as a deep cleansing shampoo. Therefore, it is a good idea to alternate a co-wash with a deep cleansing shampoo to avoid product build-up.

Is a co-wash right for you?

If you wash your hair 2 to 3 times a week, you don't necessarily need a co-wash. But if you are an athlete, have a job that requires you to wash your hair a lot, or just like to wash your hair more often, a co-wash is the perfect solution. It keeps your hair fresh without drying it out!

How to get the best results with a co-wash

Would you like to add a co-wash to your routine? A co-wash is ideal if you wash your hair more than 2 to 3 times a week. You can co-wash as often as you like, but it's important to do it right. Here's a handy step-by-step guide:

• Wet your hair thoroughly. Make sure all parts of your hair are thoroughly wet.
• Apply the co-wash. Take a small amount of co-wash and spread it over the length of your hair. Always check the label on your conditioner or the information on our website to see if you can use the conditioner on your scalp. This varies from brand to brand!
• Spread the conditioner. Use your fingers or a brush to distribute the co-wash evenly throughout your hair.
• Rinse thoroughly. Make sure there is no product left in your hair.
• Continue with your routine. After using a co-wash, continue with your normal hair care routine. Apply a leave-in conditioner and style your hair with gel, mousse or both.

Important tips:

• When using a co-wash, it is important to use a deep cleansing shampoo on a regular basis (for example, once a month or every two weeks). This will prevent product build-up and keep your hair fresh and healthy.
• Alternate between using a co-wash and a regular shampoo to keep a good balance in your routine.

By following these steps, you'll get the most out of your co-wash and keep your curls healthy and in great shape!

What is the difference between a co-wash and a regular shampoo?

A CG shampoo and a CG co-wash may look similar, but they have different functions in your hair care routine:

A CG shampoo thoroughly cleanses your hair and scalp. These shampoos are mild and free of sulfates, silicones and drying alcohol, so they don't strip your hair of its natural oils. You will typically use a shampoo once or twice a week to remove dirt, product residue and excess oil.

A CG co-wash is a mild cleanser that doubles as a conditioner. You may use it more often if you want to refresh your hair between washes, or if you do a lot of exercise. A co-wash is gentler on your hair and provides extra moisture, but does not remove heavy build-up like a shampoo.

In short, use a CG Shampoo for a 'deep clean' and a CG Co-wash for a very gentle refresh!
