clarify or cowash before heavy protein treatment?

[VK1K]

I'm curious, I have been cowasing for alittle over a month now (once a week). And its time for a protein treatment. Should I clarify and start from scratch then use protein?

Ummm clarify! Your hair needs to be clean. If not, it’s a waste of product because most of the protein won’t penetrate the shaft (from all the build up from the Co-washing blocking it) and will go down the drain.

If you are worried about your hair matting or getting tangled from clarifying and stripping out moisture...I would suggest you pre-poo your hair first, then clarify it, then protein, then deep condition.

Thanks so much! Seems logical, but you hut the nail on the head....I don't want tangles and cowashing is new to me and has helped tremendously! So I will try to pre poo and detangle as much as I can before clarifying.

Thanks Again
