I used to co-wash my hair like mad, usually 4-5x a week. I fell in love with the process of just washing my hair whenever I felt like it. Yet, I was never happy with my hair styles and I was on a no-heat regimen then too.
Since then, I've revamped my regime to include less frequent washing and flat ironing after airdrying. Since my hair is freshly relaxed and Maxiglided, I am enjoying my hair right now and plan on washing it next weekend which will be 2 weeks since my last wash. The less manipulation seems like the way to go. When my hair is flat ironed it is much wasier to maintain, and with washing it less, that also has the added benefit of reducing heat styling during the month. Heat styling only 2x a month is very appealing to me.
I'm happy that the cooler temps are helping to facilitate this part of my hair care journey. Through fall and winter I plan on washing my hair every 2 weeks. When the new growth starts popping up again when I stretch I might have to go back to 1x a week, we'll see. It also helps that I have finally found the right products to use on my hair to keep it moisturized with out getting it too oily.
