Cleansing conditioners, also known as co-washes, are latherless formulas that are used to cleanse the hair without stripping it of natural moisture. They’re commonly used by those with wavy, curly and coily hair types because they’re great for revitalizing curls while adding necessary moisture. But the truth is, anyone can co-wash their hair. The trick is finding the right formula that works best for you. If you’re interested in replacing your shampoo with a cleansing conditioner, check out some of our favorite co-washes for every hair type and need here.
