I <3 cowashing. It's wonderful.

At one point I was DCing every other day and that was really nice. But I used up a lot of conditioner doing that so I stopped.
 
Because I use a mud wash to cleanse my hair, my hair does not require a dc to be moisturized. Coconut oil or a mayo mix pre poo do more for my hair than dcing. Dcing doesn't make a noticeable difference for me anymore unless it is a protein conditioner. I can't compare these to co-washing because it has a different purpose.

Nice question OP! It made me reflect on my regimen and why I do each step.

Deep conditioning is everything! My hair is so healthy! I've never tried pre-poo, but I think I'll work it into my regimen to test it on my hair.
 
I can't pick one because I think they all serve a purpose for me but if I had to rate them in the order of importance to my hair it would be:

1 Deep conditioning. Game changer and most important step in my hair care routine.

2 Pre poo. Great way to prep my hair for washing by removing shed hair & tangles

3 Co washing. I could actually do without co washing, but it's cool for when my hair needs an extra boost of moisture until my real wash day with shampoo. I find deep conditioning and pre pooing kinda lessens the need for this though. It's just extra.
