How to Co Wash for Shiny Strong Moisturized Natural Hair
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 жов 2024
- Here is my complete co washing routine and how I maintain shiny, strong, and moisturized natural hair! Co washing is the cleansing of your hair without the use of shampoos! Yes, your hair can get clean without shampoo! In the span of a month, I do this three of the four weeks, and on the fourth week, I'll cleanse with my DIY homemade cleanser ( • DIY Homemade Clay Hair... ). This helps my hair retain its natural oils and keeps my hair from becoming completely stripped! I hope you give it a try and love the results!

Just wanted to say thank you for all of your videos. I adopted my AA daughter one year ago. She was 6 at the time and had extremely damaged hair. But I didn't know what was damage and what was normal for 4c hair. Needless to say, I've learned a ton this past year and you are helping me go further in our hair journey. Thank you for all you are doing! Blessings!
God bless you for adopting your daughter! I'm glad she can have a mom like you. =)
I think it's wonderful that you're learning/researching what's best for your daughter's hair!! You rock Momma!!
I just saw these! Thank you so much! That means a lot to be supported. Thanks! :-)
What a beautiful message!
You should be on television. Your tutorials are some of the best on the site.
TRUUUU
I so agree. Very very high quality videos. And she is hilarious and so is her hubby.
you are absolutely right. i would love to see Whitney on television 📺 spreading the word are proper natural hair care
Right!
I agree. her tips help as my hair has grown passed shoulders.
I love how you always explain things so promptly and clearly without excess chatter. Your hair is gorgeous! Oh I saw you last night on tv in a Shea Moisture commercial and I screamed! lol
Me too! I love that I don't have to fast forward twenty minutes to find the main point of the video. It's always straight and to the point
I agree :)
Hi Whitney,
I went natural about 18 months ago. While, my hair is not as long and thick as yours (thin, fine medium length) and my texture is not the same as yours(combination 3a/3b/3c & 4a) I still find your videos very helpful. I love the way you do your twist outs and wash and go's (I have yet to master your twist technique). Years of perming my thin fine hair has made my hair thinner.and although going natural has deterred the thinning process somewhat; it is still thin. But thanks to your videos I find many styles that aid in making my hair look more voluminous. So, again thank you for your videos they have been and still are very helpful to me. May God continue to bless and prosper you and your family! Keep the videos coming! Love you!!
Soooooo, I just tried this using coconut oil, and Hello Hydration conditioner, unfortunately I didn't have aloe vera juice on hand. Nevertheless, This is THE most moisturized my hair has felt after a co-wash. Just amazing! Thanks Whitney!!!
It frustrates me that people thumbs down your stuff. I don't understand it. You have great advice about hair and even though our textures are completely different I gain inspiration from watching the way you love your hair, the way that you have fun with it, the way you are so down to earth and the fact that you have accepted your natural beauty and let it shine for others to see. Your videos make me more confident in taking care of my own hair. Thank you so much for the opening your life to us on these forums. :D
I tried this method and now I am totally hooked. It works great for me and I use cheap Suave coconut conditioner and EVOO. Thanks for introducing me to my hair's best ever co-wash method. You Rock!
I swear, everytime I watch your videos it uplifts me and keeps me on track with my hair journey. You have such beautiful healthy hair.
i tried this out with suave naturals everlasting sunshine conditioner, and i used aloe vera gel mixed with water and the results were amazing!
You know, no matter how many co-wash tutorials I watch, yours are ALWAYS the most user-friendly. I really like simple and to-the-point routines for my hair (as I am VERY low maintenance, and generally only stray from wash-and-go's for a special occasion), and your hair routines are the best~!
This was the fastest cowash. The least amount of hair "shedding" off. And it's the softest my hair has been after any wash. This is amazing! Will be doing it from now on.
Thanks, Whitney! :)
Ive been fully natural for a little over a year and your vids have helped me ever step of the way, from transitioning til now. Thanks viv, keep up the good work!
1. THANK YOU FOR EXISTING.
2. What texture is your hair?
3. THANK YOU FOR EXISTING.
She seems to be a 4a
She's a 4a but doesn't exactly go by the system and also she keeps her hair stretched 95% of the time . Hope this helped .
+Funanya Ikechukwu no she's not. 4b/c hair doesn't curl at all. If you want to see 4b/c hair Google lupita nyongo
it's on her channel under "about" she's 4a/b
+Shiny Sphinx 4b hair curls but 4b doesn't
Just did this cowash method for the first time and I'm in LOVE!!! It was so easy and FAST!!! Never thought I could have time to wash my hair on a work day! I'm gonna let it air dry in my Bantu knots overnight with no added product to see what my hair feels like in the morning!!! Love u naps!!!
I'm going to try this method for washing my hair. It's about BSL length, and I always find myself spending 30-45 minutes in the shower detangling and washing my hair. I always run out of hot water! This method looks better :)
I run out of hot water all the time, and my hair ain't even long. smh.
What I love about your channel is that you have remained true and CONSISTENT. As a viewer I really appreciate your authenticity. Keep it up girl!! :-)
I needed this so much. Thank you. Here in South Korea, there is no products for African Americans so this is so perfect for me since I do not get relaxers!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I. LOVE. THIS. CO-WASH. METHOD. This was so fast, my hair stayed detangled (it always retangles during my normal wash routine), and most of all my hair feels great without any product in it. I have been trying to simplify my hair routine to maximize my growth and length retention. I think this cowash routine has made the cut! Thank you so much for posting this video. You're awesome!
In all honesty, what would I do without Naptural85
ditto that.
she's a blessing!!!!
Linda B that indeed!
so true! learned so much from her
Hair genius !!!! You gave my hair life you saved me from shaving my hair off. Thank you so much. I use to loose a hand full of hair every time I washed my hair. Not after trying this.
I love it and can't wait to reveal MY natural hair journey.
Drying with an old towel definitely helps with frizz. It's the best when you have locs and you're trying to avoid as much lint as possible. You make taking of naturals curls so easy and even though majority of the tips I can't use, you did influence me so much. I have my own hair and body oil mixture and my own shea butter mixture all inspired by you. So thanks! You're awesome and your hair looks absolutely beautiful.
I love your personality!
i've been watchting your videos on you tube and i must say that that hair is been healthier ever since. Thank you for your advice Naptural85.
I developed a sensitivity to various chemicals that are found in most shampoos, soaps, lotions, etc, so I tried *Argan Rain* shampoo and conditioner and it's great! It doesn't irritate my skin at all. I love the smells.
seriously, stop trying too sell us your product, literally every hair video on youtube has a rep from argan rain trying too sell more of it, no one cares about it, we'd much rather use natural brands like shea moisture, boucleme, trepadora than invest in something you claim too be good. For all we know, it could be chock full of parabens, sulphates, silicone, polyquats, preserves, mineral oil and more! this is the wrong place too try and sell too!
I love your videos & I LOVE that you add some humor instead of being a boring tutorial! Much love to you & your beautiful family!!
lol @ keep your money in your bra! That's like what all girls dream of doing once they buy their first bra! lol!
This is so smart. I never thought to do the conditioning outside the shower instead of doing the whole process in the shower, And those bangs are adorable!!
I love your personality! I think I will try this method soon...
Ive watched this video a few times before but today I finally tried it for the first time. Washing and detangling was a breeeeeeze! I love your videos! Stay beautiful.
I finally went to Trader Joes to buy the conditioner (there are no TJ stores where I live) ...So I stocked up and bought 12 at once.
Your hair is the epitome of beautiful! I just cant believe how pretty your hair is.
I'm a loyal user of Trader Joe's Nourish Spa Conditioner... I'm going to try out the Tea Tree Tingle. I feel like I'm cheating on the Nourish Spa. LOL!
I just did this on my hair and I have never had better results. Thanks so much for your videos.
You take care if your hair so well ! Is amazing.
Hey Whitney, just finished this co-wash, THANK YOU!!!, first time I ever completed my hair in one setting. You are the HAIR ANGEL!!! Thank you.
***** *raises hand* I have a question: If you close the cuticle with aloe vera juice, wouldn't rinsing the oil under the water open them again? Or is the oil still sealing it?
You can always do the final rinse with cool water.
The way you do your hair, you make it look so easy. My hair is natural also but it doesn't look like that. Just Beautiful!!!!
Going natural makes for higher water bills.
Actually no cause if you only use a light silicone free conditioner you won't need to overly rinse suds out.
oh my gahhhhhhh!!! your hair at the end gave me so much life!!!!! simply gorgeous!!!!
OMG! I freaking love thiiisssss!!!!!!
Hey Whitney! I tried this about two days ago. I used the same conditioner and I used olive oil as the oil you used. My hair is STILL soft and moisturized even though it's cold out here in Philly! I didn't even use any product after I got out of the shower. I just put my hair in curlformers. Before this, my ends were so crispy and dry that I felt like I couldn't wear my hair out. I have been rocking a soft fro thanks to you! You're a hair WIZARD!
You must to through A LOT of conditioner. It looked like you used the entire bottle in just this video alone haha
So overly jealous of the thickness of your hair....amazing. My hair is thinning and i really dont know what to do anymore - Will look on your channel see if i can find anything
I've been following your channel and truly you have showed me how to care for my two years natural hair. Thanks!
I tried this Saturday and I have the most luscious hair!!! Thanks for the tips. Kelp them coming!!
OMG! I wanted to come back to thank you & send you a BIG HUG! I hope you feel it! :) I tried this and it was the easiest cowash experience ever. Plus, I didn't lose nearly as much hair as usual during detangling. I normally have at least, not joking, about 8-10 times more hair loss. I had accepted it as my normal amount of shed hair, but now I'm convinced that I've been ripping my hair out. I'm looking forward to using this method in the future. Thanks for the video! Keep doing what you do!
I love this process. Been doing this for 6 months now and my hair is moisturized! Thanks for sharing it!
I tried this routine yesterday, and I have say that I love the result! Instead of being in the shower for an hour washing my hair I was only in there for 20 min! Definitely saves product, time, and money! Thank you so much for this tutorial. My hair is detangled, shiny, and moisturized. I will continue to use this routine when I'm just doing a simple wash.
Wow, you are so patient with your hair. My hair is about the same length and I cannot fathom doing all of that. Lol, but this video encourages me to try it. Your hair is so beautiful!!
wow, oiling while rinsing after you put the conditioner in is SO SMART. Thanks! I'm definitely trying this for my hair :)
This video right here is my goal! The bangs, the length, everything! I bought the tea tree tingle because of you, it makes my scalp fee so good! Though I have a dollar store shampoo brush to help with build up on my scalp.
Wow i never thought of doing a Co-wash out of the shower on dry hair.....it makes so much sense! gosh ur a hair genius!
Ugh, I NEEDED this. I have a tangled mess on the top of my head right now, due to the fact that I've been putting off doing it. Just the inspiration I needed. Will do this, right now - thanks Whitney!
I tried this method last week and I love it! I'm always trying to find ways to have my hair nice and shiny and this changed the game for me. Thank you for that.
Im loving your videos! I've been making all my own products lately to help grow my hair back from stress and stress alopecia. Thank you for sharing
Naptural85,
I recently started my "hair journey" transition. While I was THINKING about it, I watched a video of you that I believe took place shortly after your big chop when your hair was about ear length or so (without stretching). You were working on a twist out. I was terrified at the thought of having my hair that short, and thus, I permed my hair. After some medical issues that recently popped up, I decided that I didn't have a choice anymore. Now that I am looking at natural hair videos again, I see all of these videos of you with hair GALORE!!!! Um...I think hair videos need to be dated. How long was it between then and now? You are my new inspiration...
OH MY GOSH! your hair is so beautiful!
Trying this method right now, with Trader Joe's conditioner and all, but I'm sitting under a steamer while the condish and oil is in my hair, as I am low porosity. So far so good!
I love your posts I am so grateful to you for doing them. I am following you daily to learn more ways to take care of natural hair. I am also in love with my hair now that it is natural and I know how to take care of it.
This method is awesome and worked wonders for moisturizing my hair! Thank you once again Whitney.
Again Whitney, you have saved my hair, my sanity, and my time. Thanks for this!
Love you Nap! you keep things simple, and mostly natural and I appreciate all your help, you're one of my biggest inspirations! Plz keep it up thnx
My hair is much shorter and thinner than yours but I tried co-washing in sections because so many You-tubers do that. I'm amazed at how much easier the whole process has become! Great info as usual Whitney. Thanks! :)
I heart aloe vera juice! I do something similar on my wash days. After the whole shampoo, coconut oil rinse, and wash out conditioner steps, and once I'm out of the shower, I take the cold aloe vera juice and pour it into a spray bottle (just the amount for that moment). For each section, I spray the aloe vera juice, add about a quarter size amount of my olive oil-grapeseed oil mix to the section, and seal with my Giovanni's leave-in.
Naptural I love your hair! I recommend your videos to all naturals.
You're hair is beautiful. Thanks for making this vid. It's inspiring.
Thanks for this video! This is the best cowash video I've seen. Followed this routine and my hair held so much moisture!
Head over heels for your hair and your kindness for sharing it with all of us.
The best tutorial on cowashing I've watched yet!!! Thanks
After watching your videos for so long I decided to try this method. Absolutely love the results it left my hair. Best part I didn't even have to detangle after with comb. Con was that I feel like I went to slow and wasted water. I've got to get faster. Great video
Love it Whitney! It's my wash day today! Must try cause you made it look sooo easy!!
This helped me so much! Now that my hair is past my shoulders, I'm starting to notice that it is starting to look like it lacks moisture more. My hair is still frizzy( haven't been able to get rid of the frizz since my hot comb incident) but now after doing the co-wash it feels and looks healthy! Thank you so much!
I used this method today and my hair came out GREAT! I can't tell if the aloe vera juice did the trick or the oil. Maybe it was the combination of both.
The softest my hair has EVER FELT after bring washed. amazing.
Best detangling and co-wash session with this method! Thank you!
a friends daughter told me about your how to videos, and simply put......I love you....lol. I don't use the internet often, but I have fell inlove with blog. great job!!!!!! and thank you soooooo much for sharing
Why do you wash out the aloe juice and oils? Do you know if it influences the pH of your hair? Or if it is sealed? Loved the video btw, it thought me alot!
Technically shes not washing them out..you know the really oily film thats left when you use too much? Shes just removing that layer..after putting the cold aloe vera up there the moisture remains sealed in. In another one of her vids(cant remember which on at the moment) but she does say that aloe vera helps to keep the pH in the hair balanced. Hope this helps!!! :D
Your hair is beautiful!! Thanks for the help with natural hair. Need it and love your channel!!
Can't believe I've never thought of this! I will be trying this on wash day. Thanks Whit!
I have been following you since December of 2013. My hair has been growing so much! (THANKS) I have learned to embrace the shrinkage and even the tangles. I walked into my local shop where I purchase my hair products. I asked the clerk about dying my hair. She was so against it! I did try a rinse to cover my grey areas, but I want some color..? I don't want to interfere with my hair progress.
Look up MsVCharles on youtube she just done a tutorial on how to henna- naturally dye your hair.x
Reporting back in: this routine saved me a TON of time and a TON of hair. Implementing it officially into by regimen.
Omg your face when some of the conditioner missed your hand was hilarious LOL. But I'm glad you posted a cowash routine without coconut oil since you no longer use it. I will definitely start cowashing 3 weeks out of the month and shampoo the 4th week since my hair and scalp gets so dry.
This is the Bomb!!! I tried it today for the first time and my hair feels amazing!!! thanks sooooooo much!
Awesome and done! Best ever, I just removed my semi-mini twist and was looking for the best way detangle and then you uploaded this fabulousness! I did not shampoo our was my scale but I plan to do that next weekend, nevertheless all is well! Just wanted to say thank you Wendy!
I have to say you sure do keep UA-cam popping for me.. I was scrolling down my list of subscribers and I was saying uhh no one uploads any quality videos...then I came across your page..Yes!! Whitney saves the day AGAIN!! what would I do without your channels?? thanks!!
This method worked excellently , my curls are back after slight heat damage and they look great thanks!!
Gonna try this today. I'll also shampoo in between the parts. This seems promising. Can't tell you how tired I am of the water running cold on me. Thanks!
just follow all of her vids from beginning to end im a witness my hair is about 2 inches below my collar bone all thanks to nap when i found her i realized it was the products that were the problem and not my hair i wish i could personally thank her becuz with out this channel i would be bald or maybe permed THANK YOU SO MUCHHHHHH WHITNEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love Bantu knots. They're great for everything and so so easy. This is how I like to cowash. Tho, since I recently bc'ed, I don't need the knots. The oil tip makes perfect sense. Thanks.
My cowashing experiences have never been awesome, but this looks like something I should give a go. Thanks chica!
I want to start doing this three out of four weeks of the month like you. I have been using too much diy shampoo and it is stripping my hair.
Oh this is perfect for me, I will have to try it ASAP :) it never feels like I retained any moisture when I co-wash ( plus I've been spoiled with mud washes as of late) so I stopped, but let's try this for round 3! Thank you soo much for all of your awesomeness!
Your doing an awesome job with your hair, it's beautiful and so are you!
Did this today; and I didn't have to use a comb either (who would have thought)? This is an excellent regimen!
Love the little tip of keeping the aloe vera juice in a applicator bottle! Thx
My co wash was a great success. I did it my way, using what I had learnt from you. Thank you. You are a great teacher. #namaste.
omg! you just reminded me i bought a bottle of aloe vera juice and havent used it yet, its been a while, im due for a wash so i'm definitely doing all this this weekend!
I absolutely love the Trader Joe's TTT conditioner. The slip, the softness, the definition it gives my curls and then at only $4 a bottle! I'm glad you got me hooked on it! ;1
Same here, Kenyans represent. :) I am moving my whole family towards going natural. It's amazing!!
