Co-Wash: The versatile product that can't be missing from your wishlist.

In a previous article ( here ), we already discussed some alternative washing techniques to shampooing. One of the most commonly used products in this regard is co-wash , a term that combines the words " conditioner " and "wash," meaning a wash performed exclusively with conditioner.

Let's now go into a little more detail about this product.

When is it useful to use co-wash?

It is certainly one of the best solutions to adopt in case of frequent washing. Gym, swimming pool, beach holidays, frequent exposure to dust or smog, are all factors that can lead a person to have to wash their hair very often.

In these cases, using shampoo every day can stress the scalp in the long run, especially if you have sensitive skin. Therefore, it's better to opt for alternative solutions that occasionally replace classic shampoo : co-wash is the perfect product! It cleanses very gently and at the same time has the emollient function of a conditioner.

Another situation where daily washing is often necessary is when you have a particularly oily scalp. Even in this case, daily shampooing doesn't solve the problem, quite the contrary! Co-washing can be a valid alternative to more specific sebum-normalizing products .

Finally, co-washing is a favorite among those with curly hair! In fact, its very gentle cleansing action doesn't weigh down the hair, keeping curly hair voluminous.

Having repeatedly emphasized the lightness of this product as one of its positive aspects, it goes without saying that it is not particularly suitable when the hair is very dirty.

Co-Wash Detangling Phitofilos

What makes the Phitofilos Detangling Co-Wash so special? It's an AIAB and QCert certified organic product, with a formulation entirely of natural origin, using innovative, biocompatible and sustainable raw materials!

Inside, you'll find a special extract: the bi-active hydro-extract of Shikakai and Neem, plants with purifying, cleansing, and soothing properties. The saponins in Shikakai combine with the very gentle scrubbing action of the micro-granules of apricot kernels, providing an excellent cleansing action without damaging the skin.

These ingredients are complemented by extracts of plants from organic farming, such as Lavender, Nettle, Licorice, Damask Rose, Dandelion and Burdock, which leave the hair clean, soft and light.

It is suitable for all hair types and, for those with curly hair who follow the Curly Girl Method, there's nothing to worry about! All the raw materials used comply with the method's guidelines.

All this without neglecting a perfect detangling action.

This also makes it perfect for rinsing 100% plant-based hair treatments , whether they are neutral or coloring treatments.

It cleanses the scalp without the need to use shampoo, so that the color given by the plants does not fade immediately and leaves the hair soft and hydrated, combating that "straw-like" effect that some people complain about from time to time after rinsing with henna or other herbal pastes.

In short, co-wash is a versatile product, useful in various situations, and should always be kept handy!
