If you're a curly girl, you know how important it is to never over dry your hair out with shampoo or harsh cleaning agents that are usually found in many hair cleansers but it's also very important to not have weighed down curls that look lifeless due to build up or oily hair. Well these 2 steps work wonders when balanced together. Here's how I like to Co-Wash & Clarify my 3b Curly Hair =) ENJOY!

ALL ABOUT CO-WASHING:
Co-Washing is short for "Conditioner Washing" or Cleansing with a Cleansing Cream.
Most Conditioners have cleansing agents in the ingredients that clean hair just enough without over drying. Co-Washing is a step done in replacement of Shampoo. It can be done on occasions to alternate between using Shampoo and using a cream cleanser or Conditioner to cleanse, its up to you. I Co-Wash about twice a month and I then follow up with clarifying the next time I cleanse my hair or I shampoo my hair with my "Aubrey Organics Hydrating Shampoo" and save Clarifying for the next time I cleanse. If you like to co-wash frequently make sure you are also keeping a healthy ph balance by clarifying as well. Every head of hair is different, do what works best for your own hair. You can Co-Wash every single time you wash your hair if you want & its also OK... just include a clarifying day somewhere in between to balance things out. I know many people who have NOT used shampoo in YEARS by using the combination of co-washing and clarifying.

ALL ABOUT CLARIFYING:
Clarifying is basically deep cleaning your hair to remove product residue & build-up from products being used over time. Clarifying is meant to be done occasionally since it's Deep Cleaning it's not meant for daily or frequent use or your hair may suffer dryness. Some people prefer to use a cleanser like the "Dr. Bronners cleanser" I used here. Some people also like using Baking Soda rubbed on the scalp, the same way as ACV. Its all up to you and what you prefer for your own hair. All these methods mentioned are effective, I simply see much better results and benefits from using ACV "Apple Cider Vinegar" as a rinse. The Smell does not last. I promise you my hair smells heavenly =)
