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.
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.
