And isn't it safe to say if you use Wen you are co washing?

After co washing do you deep condition?

The difference with Wen, and other co-cleansers is that they actually contain a mild surfactant (detergent) that a regular conditioner wouldn't. In this way, they are cleaning your hair and scalp like a shampoo, but not as harshly or with the same chemicals. your hair feels clean, and there is no product buildup.
I don't DC after co-cleansing, but there are times that I will co-cleanse out the DC if rinsing alone isn't enough (Ayurvedic herbs in my hair). Mostly after I cleanse/detangle, I'll oil rinse, gel, and go.

I don't have any answer for you about the Wen.
Sometimes I cowash and then DC. Sometimes I DC then cowash. If you look in the cowash challenge you will get a good idea of what different people are doing. Which one I do really depends on the amount of time I have and if I'm in the mood to get in the shower twice or just once.
But people are doing both.

I don't DC after co-washing. I use Curl Junkie Daily Fix, DevaCare No Poo, Hairveda's Amala Creme Rinse, Shescentit's Honey Rinse, Hydroquenchsystems.com's Coconut Lime Oil Conditioning Cleanser.
My favorites are the 1st two.

No, That doesn't even make sense to me.

No. You can just dc and rinse rather than coating and manipulating your hair 2x during the wash process.

I always DC after a co-wash. This makes sense to me bc I see the co-wash as just that: a wash, albeit with conditioner and not shampoo. A way of gently cleansing my scalp and removing the light buildup of oils/products etc without stripping my hair. The DC is to rebuild/strengthen/protect etc deep within the hair shaft to replace what's been removed during the wash/rinse process. JMO.

I don't deep condition using Wen, if anything I may do an overnight oil treatment with a natural oil mixture and this is sporadic when I feel like it. I also use 613 regularly with the other cleansing conditioners, but don't keep it in any longer that what it takes do do my hair in the shower. My hair is in good shape skipping the standard deep conditioning process, however, I don't put much stress on my hair in my regular day to day handling/maintenance/styling.
Wen is called a cleansing conditioner, so I think to an extent you can call it co-washing, however it is formulated to have specific cleansing properties versus a regular conditioner that is not formulated for this specific reason.

I use Wen, but not other conditioners to co-wash, as my hair universally hates them. If I'm washing during the week, I typically won't DC, but if it's my standard weekend washing, then I will DC. Standard cowashing can leave my hair feeling mushy, and many of my DCs have some mild protein in them that helps counteract that. My exception is Wen 613, which is simply heaven-sent.
For me, co-washing serves two purposes:
- As a less abrasive cleansing technique (and is followed by a DC session)
- As a refresher during the summer (and is followed by a leave-in and sealant)
I've never used Wen, but will it a try when I find a decent sale and see which one doesn't contain any soy protein.

I co-wash my hair and let it airdry overnight. The next day, at some point, I DC on dry hair using heat for 60 minutes, detangle, rinse, moisturize and seal my hair. I only co-wash and DC once a week.

I'm starting to feel what I do is not the norm lol. I shampoo my hair before I DC so that my hair can receive the DC as much as possible instead of adding another layer of coating by DCing after a cowash. I also never imagined shampooing after a DC, I just imagine it undoing all that DC goodness that my hair just got. I don't cowash after a DC either. I just rinse it out with cool water, apply giavonni directly leave in or something like that, and seal with an oil and/or butter.

I'm easy going.
The DC is my co-wash.
