I only wash my hair with a "poo" once a month, so for the remaining weeks, I co-wash weekly, on a Wed or Thurs, it depends. For the winter months, I start off my doing a "HOT" for about 45, then I just hop in the shower, rinse it out, and co-wash with Trader Joes' Balancing conditioner. Does wonders for my hair! I usually DON'T have to put any other product in my hair after getting out the shower. Maybe just a little bit of my shea butter whip blend and then I just style--->usually to always a twistout.
