@Denise: Co-washing is washing your hair with a conditioner (usually moisturizing) to clean your scalp, but not strip the needed moisture out of your hair likw shampoo does.
@Djenaba: I personally co-wash as often as needed right now because I sweat in my hair. But normally, I try to co-wash AT LEAST once a week.
when i don't weave, i was cowashing every other day or every day in the summer. It's just conditioner! My hair loved it! If you are using a condiitioner with major silicones it can cause some build up, but my hair loved it no matter what conditioner I used. It's all about how much time you have to devote to your hair especially when it comes to drying, twisting, etc

Thanks you guys. I just BC'd over a week ago and now I have a TWA and I wasn't sure if co-washing my hair everyday or every other day was too much
