I read this article on naturally curly. It seems to relate to this thread http://www.naturallycurly.com/curlr...&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=20131217_coily
I zeroed in on the benefits and drawbacks:
"Benefits
Co-washing is incredibly gentle on the hair
It can gently lift light dirt and product buildup from the hair
Conditioner can be used to cleanse and detangle at the same time
Conditioners correct the charge of the hair and lay the cuticle flat, aiding in moisture retention and increasing strength and shine
Drawbacks
Conditioners may not be strong enough to remove heavy buildup and clarify the scalp
Conditioners contain cationic surfactants that are designed to stick to the hair, whereas shampoos contain anionic surfactants. Translation: co-washing has the potential to cause more buildup than it removes."
This being said co washing works fine for me. I shampoo about once a month and co wash in the in between.
