Swavy Curly Courtney run your damn water if you want! Don’t apologize for being normal.
Oh, thank you!
@@sarahbingham6251 that's no normal at all.
Omg like those people turn the shower off when they shower -_-
@@xlifexwithxlithiumx Yes, we do! I've been told since my childhood that water shouldn't be wasted and turning the shower off it's a normal thing we all do in almost all European countries :)
Please don't apologize for having oily hair. We greesies aren't gross, just different. Plus we tend to have naturally healthier hair due to all the protective oils. Silver lining!
Exactly! I wish my scalp would produce more oil, my roots are so dry and flakey
And oily hair girls tend to have oily skin which always looks younger than dry skin. Definitely a plus that way
@@jayhulrs1435 oooh, so oily and young looking go hand in hand? This is nice to know!
Yeah, I think it would be pretty cool to have a scalp that actually helped to lubricate and moisturise my curls!
I'll take my benefits of not having to wash as often, because I have to 😂, but it's not as if natural oil production is a detriment. I honestly think it's really cool. It's like, self-conditioning. Grass is always greener, of course.
I have the most oily scalp ever and my ends are super dry :( my hair never receive the healthy memo :(
WHY HAVE I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT PARTING MY HAIR TO WASH THE SCALP IN THAT ONE SPOT. GENIUS.
I just wanted to THANK YOU for this video. You have no idea how life changing co washing has been to my 13 year old daughter. My daughter had uncontrollable dandruff and lots of buildup in her scalp. She would used medicated shampoos but they did not work for her. Her scalp would often bleed from irritation from all the buildup. I turned to youtube in desperation to find something that would help. I came across your video and ordered the As I Am Dry and Itchy Co wash. I had never heard of co washing up until that point. After the first co wash my daughter’s scalp was squeaky clean, truly unbelievable. She’s been co washing twice a week for 3 weeks now and her scalp has NEVER looked and felt better. She’s no longer in tears after she combs her hair and feels confident in her hair now. So yeah, THANK YOU!
Awe I love this so much! I am so glad this helps her!
I just co-washed for the first time today and I was AMAZED at how NOT greasy my hair was by the end of the day! It was literally less greasy than it normally is when I shampoo. Thoroughly amazed...
Yeah. Stripping your scalp with shampoo causes your skin to overproduce oil
I'm surprised one may feel the need to apologize for having greasy hair or no make up on. There was nothing on with any of the two, really. I already expected to find a human being before starting the video. And it's so thoughtful and honest of you the reason why you waited to so long for washing! Thank you. (Haven't watched the rest of the video just yet). ;)
Hair looks great
Fine, wavy, greasy, sad hair? This video is for me
lm toing school at homes
Finally, I have found someone with the same hair type and scalp as me. Its very frizzy and dry but my scalp gets very greasy and oily I used to wash daily with antidandruff shampoo and NEVER use conditioner all my life. My scalp was oily and felt so dirty just day 2 without using any styling products or touching my hair throughout the day. Now I wash every 4 days with CG approved shampoo still gets greasy but not as bad. I find cowashing still very greasy the next day like day 4 after using CG shampoo. I am willing to keep trying as my scalp took time to adjust when I cut out sulphates etc. so maybe its the same.
@@mar-fe1vz I think the issue with a normal conditioner is a lot of them don't have a good cleanser in them to be able to clean your scalp and might make greasy as it's just adding moisture depending on your hair type. I really want to try cowashing as my scalp has been dry for a long time, but have heard some cowashes too can be heavy for wavy hair and weight roots down.
Thank you SO MUCH for this! I’m growing out a pixie after 10 years and realized I have curly hair! My hair is fine and wavy/curly like yours and your videos have been INVALUABLE to my curly hair journey!
Ur hair at the start tho!!! It looked so freaking shiny and healthy❤️Literally couldn't tell it was greasy. Also ur curls🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
So happy you showed up in my feed. I have learned so much.
I’m so excited to start my cowash stuff! I started this phase of just wanting to train my hair and I’ve learned I have wavy hair but I’m trying to love it natural with all the products! Thanks for this video!
🤣 " we are just gonna have to hide you behind your wavy brothers and sisters" so cute and funny... can relate
I have the same texture and waves/curls as yours. I'm glad I found you!!
I am using the same co-wash and I enjoy it. Their smoothing gel is amazing!!!!! The curl definer is ok too, but the gel is what gives me that definition.
My hair is just like yours!!! Fine strands but tons of it. I have hope now lol
Lucky. I have fine with fewer strands. 😬 Getting volume is a challenge.
This is the best cowash! I’m lost without it!
I am so happy I just discovered your channel! We have very similar hair! So helpful
I read so many amazing reviews about this product and I ordered one this weekend, it is gonna be delivered tomorrow. I am so excited to try it after watching your video! Thank you! ❤️
Omg so much shine! Never she such shiny healthy locks!
I’d say I have pretty similar hair. And it’s funny because just up until recently I wouldn’t condition my hair or use anything hydrating. Thanks for showing us your technique !
You're hair is gorgeous! I love the As I Am Co-wash too!! Doesnt weigh anything down and just the right amount of moisture. Your day 4 hair honestly didnt look gross at all! Shine is great! 😄
I don’t know why, but this video put me in such a good mood :) You seem like such a lovely person, thank you for the information.
I just bought this co-wash but have not tried it yet. Thank you for making this video:-). I'll be trying your technique on my next wash day. Your hair looks so healthy, shiny, soft and love the bouncy wavy curls!
kiki girl hi can I ask how’d it go? Do u like it
This was great. I’m wavy too and I was so frightened to give up lo poo but I basically have now and I’m so glad! It took me about 8 months of CGM to get the courage. I may have done it earlier had I seen this.
Elizabeth Maslowe well I’m glad if it was helpful!! I find that I really do enjoy co washing but that I still need to lo poo about every three washes or so. 🤷🏼♀️ that seems to keep my hair happy and balanced.
This is the EXACT video I was looking for how did you know!!
Literally first time here... just bout to do my first cowash with that exact product .. super excited! Thank you for sharing!!!💕💕
i lol’d at the lone straight hair. mine always showed up right on my hairline, next to a mini sausage curl. 🤷🏻♀️
hibiscus10moon buahaha isn’t that how it always goes!?
I’m new to your channel and only three months into the CG method! My hair is quite similar to yours, very “swavy” depending on the day lol. This video has literally given me the confidence to just cowash! I’ve been using the AsIAm cowash and have been loving it, but most wavy hair CG channels say that you NEED to still use shampoo or be clarifying like every other week. I haven’t clarified since my first reset wash and although I definitely went through a transition phase, my hair is loving being cowashed! It’s nice seeing someone who actually doesn’t say you’re going to have dirty hair if you’re not using shampoo. Thank you for this video!!’
Giiiirl, thank you for your sacrifice and awesome advice! There’s not a ton of info for my hair type and I always especially appreciate coming across some. Thank you. 💖😊
Your hair is ridiculously lovely. Thank you for this video
*I also thought there was absolutely no way that cowashing would get the hair clean. It took me **_five years_** before I tried it. Once I did, I could not believe how clean it got my hair. BTW, it doesn't have to be a designated "cowash"; I was using Suave Rosemary Mint conditioner the first year. That worked beautifully. Some conditioners don't work super well for this; I tried others and sometimes had a yucky feeling build up in my hair.*
It was so nice to see you use ‘as I am’ I use the co wash, leave in conditioner and curling jelly. It was my first go to when starting CG and am now scared to try other products. Living in the uk it can be hard getting the products you use.
Your looks soo soft and shiny and frizzless. I think you finally convinced me to cowash instead of low poo I’ve been so scared to try because I feel like my hair won’t get clean enough but it’s been so dry and frizzy lately I think I’m finally gonna try it out for myself. Cowash here I come
Looks gorgeous! Thanks for sharing your routine.
Woooow i love your hair color, curls and the shininess 👌🥺
I bought this today and I’m so excited to try it. I have very thin hair that’s 2c/3a and super sensitive scalp. And the winter frizz is unreal. Thanks for the informative video just subbed💞
Do You like it???
Mariela M. It didn’t work for me but I think it would with someone who has thick hair my hair is just too thin and it made it oily
This was so helpful, thank you! I wanted to try co-washing but it was hard to find info on it for my hair type. Great video!
My hair is straight (not pin-straight) and medium textured strands, and the As I Am co-wash does a very good job at cleansing. Since my ends are quite dry, I will use a separate conditioner afterwards and it doesn't weigh down my hair at all! 🙂
What conditioner you use?
@@jennyrose9454 any conditioner I feel I want to use. Sometimes I’ll even use a mask and it still won’t weight it down. Shea Moisture intense hydration mask for instance.
Your hair is so gorgeous thank you for the video
I love your videos! You really have helped me with the curly girl method!
you look SOO PRETTY with no make up oh my goodness!
I found this cowash brand 2 years ago & I haven't looked back. I've been dealing with dryness due to a health issues & change of hair due to menopausal. I went from straight long hair to thinning, dry, slow growing CURLY hair now. Since finding the As I Am cowash it has been a dealbreaker for me. Your video by far has been one of the best, detailed & informative for me. Your after look is STUNNING & your hair is absolutely beautiful. You did me ideas to change my routine up a little. My only problem is time & I can never leave the house with wet hair. I get sick with sore throats & I just don't wanna go there. So was curious as to whether you use the As I Am curling cream at all? If you can do a tutorial on that by any chance I'll be the first to watch. Thank you!! Love your channel. I seriously wish that this was readily available 30 years ago.
Curl friend, thank you so much for this vid it's so helpful!!
Your skin looks fantastic too!
I absolutely love how thorough these videos are and they go so in-depth to understand how to replicate these steps at home - especially when you're really new to something, like co-washing! Thank you!!
Thank you!! That is my goal! I am glad this channel is helpful!
Soooo glad I found you, Courtney! I have been binge-watching your videos and I'm now a subscriber! Woot! We have very similar hair types (which is surprisingly hard to find!), although yours is much shinier and bouncier, so I look forward to learning from you! Thanks for sharing your great ideas!!! ❤️
I’ve had natural poker straight hair my whole life and now at 45 years old lol Ive developed a natural wave/curl. So glad I found your videos as I’ve no clue what I’m doing lol. Im at a definite straggly frizzy stage 🙈😱
Suzanne McColl same here. Long, blond straight hair. One day a year ago my hair dried naturally (no straight blow dry) and I couldn’t believe it. My hairdresser said that sort of hair change can occur to someone at anytime. Sure wish it was curly when I was younger....life would have been so much easier. However, I’m taking advantage of the curly easy care I’m dealing with. I don’t even diffuse...it dries beautifully naturally.
OMG! Watching this made me realize just how much hair I lose every time I shower!! 😮 I didn't see any hair loss as you were raking though your hair. I would end up with a wig's worth of fallen hair strands! Thanks for sharing your process though!
Courtney I want to tell uppity how much I appreciate you. I'm not good about hitting like, but I'll to get better. I keep posting your videos in the wavy group I belong to. Your oatmeal gel is amazing!!!
I used to do it on wet hair. I typically will apply it to my wavy fine hair to dry hair. I find if I let it set for ten minutes that I can just go rinse it out and have plenty of slippage. I don't have greasy hair. I have dry and live in the desert. I sometimes will out a bit of water to start but use warm water if u can't do cold
Thanks so much! This video is so helpful! :)
So true about finding those ringlets when your hair is wavy lol! I’ve been dying to try that cowash brand!
tina downs Buahaha right?!? So fun! I would love to know what you think when you get a chance to try out that co wash!
Swavy Curly Courtney loved it! I love their leave in too! Very light but very moisturizing! I live in the south a just did the big chop in April so my hair is a tad crazy right now so I needed this new product!
Hey girlie! @curlywhirlyred here! :) I got caught up on your videos on my lunch break this past weekend but I ran out of time and wasn't able to leave a comment so...I'm back! ;) Can I just say that I LOVE your tub?! I wish my faucet was higher up like that. Lol! I knew cleansing conditioners were different from regular conditioners but I didn't know about the centrimonium chloride ingredient! I really didn't think I was going to like cowashing and I swore I'd miss the sudsing from a traditional shampoo, but I guess I've tried so many new things since starting CG that I'm more open minded now. I don't love having to scrub until "my arms fall off" (lol), but my super dry hair loves it! :)
Heather Ledbetter hi heather!!!! Thank you so much! Co washing definitely has its place but I’m not sure I will ever get to a place where I will co wash exclusively. But it is so fun to do. It makes me feel like a true curly girl! Lol!
hey honey! you have a sense of humor and you’re awesome! i subscribed right away . you are also very beautiful!!! please do more! and nowww i will purchase this co wash! ❤️😍❤️😍
Title grabbed me but honestly I already have so much trouble with scrubbing. Fatigue has me using shower chair. Maybe will cut hair so it is less to scrub.
(Using my husbands account) - Just wanted to say a MASSIVE THANK YOU! I watched your video this morning and I feel like a new woman! I decided lockdown (in UK) would be perfect time to start co-washing but was starting to wish I hadn't bothered. Am about 3 or more weeks in and hair felt disgusting! I knew it was meant to be greasy for a while but was it was not improving (despite buying a posh cleaning co wash condition for my fine hardly curly thin hair . I had no idea that I needed to wash so deeply and scrub in the way you explain. Just wanted to come on here and say thank you SO SO much, I was at the point of packing it in, so this has made me so happy - thanks to you! x
It looks like you used utensils to curl your hair but I know it’s your natural curl pattern. BEAUTIFUL! And that’s my favorite cowash.
Your hair is SOOOO pretty!!!
So sweet! Thank you! 🥰
I just wanted to thank you so much for this video! I have curly hair but have never gotten it truly curly since I was little, but this video changed that, and I wanted to thank you for your video!
Awe wow! Thank you so much! I am so glad this helped!
I loooove this cowash. 🥰
I just got my AsIam cowash , I cant wait to try it
Your locks are absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for this. I've been using As I Am Coconut Co-wash for several months now and I swear by it. My hair is super fine and beyond oily. This makes my hair close to perfect.
Thank you! I am glad this works for you!
@@SwavyCurlyCourtney you're welcome and thank you!
Thanks for this video! I've heard so many good things about this cowash, so I bought it and tried it. I had awful, greasy results which I assumed were because of the coconut oil. But I think I applied it too much to my hair instead of my scalp, and I rushed it. I'm going to give it a go again with better technique!
I don't even know how I ended up on your channel, but know I know who to side eye when all the Kinky hair products are gone. 😂 but forreal I actually don't like this cowash because it makes my hair feel dry and brittle. But it made your hair look pretty!
This is my hair also, so sick of shampoos, but my hair reacts better to cream shampoos than clear shampoos, I'm defo going to try the as I am co wash, thanks! Xx
Thank you for this video. It's very helpful. 😀
I have somewhat fine, thin hair and I had so much damage from daily high-heat styling and from never deep conditioning my hair. So on an impulse, I just got it all cut off, very short. I immediately regretted it because the hairstylist did a really bad job and because now my hair is too short even to naturally curl. But after a few weeks I'm feeling better because 1. my hair is growing so fast, and 2. it's given me the opportunity to transition to co-washing so easily. I haven't used shampoo on my hair since the day it was cut. Like you, I never thought it would be possible for me, now I wouldn't ever go back to shampoo after seeing how easy it is to get clean hair with just conditioner. I use the curly hair shea moisture conditioner and it rinses out so thoroughly that it's almost like shampoo. My hair feels squeaky clean until I put in a leave-in conditioner.
God bless you girl I’m beginning my curly girl journey and I really want to try co washing but like you I have extremely oily hair! Luckily I bought the same co wash right before watching this video :) can’t wait to try it out!
Hannah Mummey did it work for you? i’m scared it’ll make my hair oily
Nataley WazHurr it works so well!! I use a lot of it and scrub my scalp like crazy and my hair looks and feels clean after!
You are the reason I purchased the cowash you are using. And I love it so much. I am three weeks into THE CGM and my hair looks so much better.
Rebecca Molina how is your hair now? :)
@@owainh1347 my hair is suffering from the lazyness that comes with sheltering in place. It is totally embarasing.
Rebecca Molina haha 🤣 I mean how healthy is it now?
@@owainh1347 when I use the As I Am Coconut cowash with some olive oil added as a deep conditioner once a week after a low-poo wash it keeps my hair looking really good and well moisturized which keeps the curls in good shape. If I stop doing a good deep moisturizing weekly, my hair loses the curls and goes straw-texture straight and looks horrible because it sticks out everywhere instead of forming nie looking shapes. And I am finding that the olive oil added to other conditioners work almost as well to as deep conditionings too. For me, keeping my hair curly seems to require moisturizing and very little protein.
I have just started my natural hair journey and I want to know when should co-washing enter my hair care routine?
LOVING all of your videos so far! I'm in the research stage of CGM & you're awesome at breaking it down for me. So, thank you!! And, your hair is gorgeous! 😍👍🎉
God your hair is gorgeous! Thank you for this tutorial, I appreciate it. I just got that co-wash brand and look forward to trying it.
I’ve been binge-watching cgm hair videos for most of quarantine but finally saved up the money to start with decent products!! I did my final wash about a week ago with the suave clarifying shampoo and the zotos deep conditioner and it was lovely!! I’m using the zotos starter kit for my regular hair care and it comes with the “no-lather” cleanser instead of the “lo-lather”. I was hoping for the lo poo since my hair is tight wavy, low porosity, waist-length and oils slip down my weighed-down roots and upper lengths pretty easily, but I’ve been scalp training my scalp for a while and so I usually can go about 3-4 days between washes. Is a no leather cleanser basically the same as a co-wash? It did “lather” a little after I scrubbed my scalp for forever, but I’m scared my hair won’t last as long between washes. Any tips (from anyone) would be lovely!!
At the beginning of your video that’s what my hair looks like!! This is exactly why I really think my hair is actually wavy/curly....I’m just so scared to try..
TheKaitiemonster do not be afraid. Make it fun! Make it an experiment. Text out things and see if they work for you.
Hot water does not open hair cuticles. Hair cuticles do not open, just like the pores on your face do not open. Constantly using hot water on your hair can definitely dry it out and cause more frizz, but since you have very oily hair, it's probably not as big of a problem for you as it would be for someone with normal to dry hair. Heat also does not help the hair to absorb product more efficiently, it only allows for conditioner to stick to the surface of the hair more efficiently.
But...they do?
@@jennyrose9454 Cuticles and be raised or smooth, but they don't open and close. The words are used interchangeably in beauty blogs, but aren't accurate when doing so.
@@Vampirita447 no I meant pores, sorry.
Pretty curls. xoxo Peace! ~TONI 😇💙
Can't even hate her hair looks bomb.
Omg your hair is so beautiful
So sweet! Thank you!
You’re super pretty ❤️❤️

Hi! How often should I co- wash? Thank you!
Thank you for this video. I've been doing it all wrong
You're so welcome!
Do you add any product to your hair? or is it just the co-wash plus the leave in? Where did the crunch come from?
for me, scrubbing is a no go, i have to use light pressure and just small circles so i don't pulverize my follicles. its like theyre just daring me to mess with them so they can say sayonara. if you think your hair is fine, you're rapunzel compared to my hair lmao. but this gives me hope. trying so hard to grow my hair and i want to do as little as possible.
Your hair looks so soft and bouncy !
Good job!!!
Here I am with my greasy hair.... greasy second day hair... scrubbing like this with a low poo shampoo to get my
roots clean 🙈 so not sure this will work for me. Thanks to your curl clump tips my hair healty has started to improove! :D
How can you not have tangles after 4 days not washing?? Is that your type of hair or the products and way of handling your hair? I even have tangles again just after conditioner. Your hair looks soo soft and fresh!
Love your videos sweetie. I also have very fine, wavy, dry, porous hair and now I have an extra problem, I'm going grey, so I really need to colour my roots. I know you're way off that situation, but for those of us who must colour their hair, do you have any tips?
I’m curious if curly girls just do this in the shower standing up usually? I assume the bend over the tub is just for video? I have a bad back and I could not spend that long leaning over like that! Also, I don’t have a tub.
Courtney does this for filming! But she’s said she also conditions her hair upside down normally, but it’s not necessary if your back can’t handle it
I have the body shop anti dandruff one even tho it says for dry scalp it says dandruff as well but anyway it honestly helps me go a day or two without it looking like I dunk my hair in a tons of olive oil
What’s a GOOD product for frizzy hair?! Also I just tried the *all about your curl from zoto* I love the outcome BUT my hair is horribly frizzy. And only ONE section on my hair WILL not curl no matter what I do. And I can’t even hide it! Also what is your morning routine when you wake right up?
Do you use a gel? Or just the styler that you showed?
How often should you cowash versus actually washing?
Looks beautiful
I have been watching and learning from all your videos. My question is- how often do you cowash and how often (if ever ) do you shampoo or use a hair masque? I think my curl pattern has the potential to look like yours but I just started and am trying to figure it all out!!
I have 3A/3B curly hair, and I’ve really been struggling to get the balance of clean feeling hair/moisturised hair
I tried co-washing as a teenager, because I like to re-style my hair everyday and to do that I need to wet it and I inevitably wash it with shampoo everyday which is definitely not good. So then I replaced the oils in my hair with hail oil before washing every night, and my hair became greasy and limp.
So tonight I decided to co-wash for the first time in years, and whilst it’s not totally dry yet and I’m not sure of the result yet my fingers are crossed!
If this works I think I’ll be co-washing every second or third wash from now on, my hair really needs some TLC.
I also have to towel dry my hair before I spray my light leave in conditioner. Then I use curl cream or argon oil gelee to set
