A delicate way of cleaning, protection against sulfates or just a fashionable trend? Let's figure it out.
In the field of hair care, there are always interesting methods. Kovoshing is one of them. This is a way to wash your hair without shampoo. It is based on the statement about the harm of aggressive sulfates in the composition of traditional cleaning products. We will now answer the most popular questions related to co-housing.
What is cowashing
Kovoshing is a method of cleaning the scalp and hair with the help of conditioner. How he appeared, no one knows, but there are several versions. And one of them is that this is how they learned to clean the scalp and locks of an African-American woman. They are the owners of very sensitive hair, which is quite thin, porous, such that it curls a lot. It can also be dried very easily. Therefore, cleaning has always required special delicacy. Some believe that co-washing appeared as a result of the fact that people with very sensitive scalps needed a delicate and gentle way to get rid of impurities.
Who suits?
Kovoshing is suitable for owners of sensitive and dry scalp. Due to the peculiarities of the dermis, after washing their hair with conventional means, such people feel itching and discomfort until the natural protective membrane - sebum, secreted by the sebaceous glands - is restored.
But, in general, it is believed that kovoshing should not be used as a panacea. In addition, now that sulfate-free shampoos have appeared, it makes no sense at all to use kovoshing for owners of very sensitive dermis, protecting themselves from aggressive ingredients.
And even those who prefer to use cowashing to clean the scalp and hair should still not resort to it every time. For example, if you used cowash twice, you should choose sulfate-free shampoo for the third time. Alternation is considered quite acceptable.
Contraindication
Kovoshing is not suitable for owners of oily scalp, because its function did not include thorough cleaning of fat.
