1. Rinse your hair thoroughly with lukewarm water.
2. Work a generous amount of co-wash through your wet hair, from root to tip.
3. Massage well into your scalp and along the lengths.
4. Let the product sit for a minute if your hair is very dry.
5. Rinse thoroughly with water.
6. Follow with a leave-in or styling product for your curls.

Combine the co-wash with the Curlessence Moisturizing Curl Activator for extra curl definition after washing. Apply it on wet hair to help shape your curls while they dry.

Your hair feels softer and is easier to comb after each wash. This is partly due to coconut oil, which protects the hair shaft and retains moisture. Castor oil seals the hair’s surface, preventing moisture from escaping too quickly. Together, they hydrate curls that dry out easily. Do you suffer from a dry or flaky scalp? This co-wash also contains an ingredient to tackle that. So you don’t need a separate product for your scalp. Discover more products from keracare if you want to upgrade your whole wash routine.

The co-wash is sulphate-free and does not contain mineral oil or petrolatum. These are key requirements for most Siers of the Curly Girl Method. The formula does contain fragrance and a few synthetic preservatives. Whether this fits your interpretation of the CG method depends on how strict you are. For most curly hair, this is a great co-wash option.

That depends on your hair type and how many styling products you use. Many people with curly hair use a co-wash two to three times a week. If you use many products with heavy oils or gels, it’s wise to alternate with a real shampoo sometimes. That prevents buildup on your scalp. Ask yourself how often using co-wash on curly hair works for you: if your hair feels fresh and not heavy, you’re on the right track.

Yes, the keracare Curlessence Co-Wash cleans your hair without stripping it. It effectively removes oil buildup while keeping your hair’s natural moisture. That’s exactly what a co-wash should do: cleanse and nourish in one step.

A co-wash is gentler than shampoo and cleans less deeply. That’s an advantage if your hair dries out fast but a drawback if you use many styling products. The keracare Curlessence Moisturizing Co-Wash - 355ml works best if your hair doesn’t have too much buildup. Use heavy creams or gels regularly? Then alternate with the Curlessence Moisturizing Shampoo for a deeper cleanse. If your hair is fine and gets greasy quickly, this co-wash may feel too heavy. For dry, thicker, or kinky hair this is an excellent choice. Want more curl shape after washing? Add the Curlessence Moisturizing Curling Cream to your routine.
