    One of our bestsellers in the ECOLATIER URBAN line is Co-washing. This article will tell you more about this incredible product and its benefits for hair health.


    The term "co-washing" is an abbreviation of conditioner washing, i.e., washing with conditioner-only without using shampoo. Co-washing gently removes dirt and dust from the hair and scalp, but, at the same time, without stripping them of moisture. It intensively moisturizes and softens the hair, makes it smooth, facilitates combing, and prevents hair breakage. 

    Co-washing is great for anyone with dry, curly, wavy, as well as dyed hair. However, it is extremely important that co-washing be natural and free from silicones or chemical additives. Otherwise, there will be no benefit from such washing. A trend of washing hair with special conditioners instead of shampoo is growing – hashtag #cowashing has already got 8 million views on TikTok.

    ECOLATIER URBAN Co-washing

    ECOLATIER URBAN Co-washing will replace shampoo, conditioner, and hair mask. It cleanses like a shampoo and softens the hair like a conditioner while protecting the color from fading. This product is perfect for summer, and in case you have to wash your hair daily and style it with a hair dryer.

    Let's talk about the active ingredients in our Co-washing formulation. Kiwi extract, rich in organic acids that have an ANTI-POLLUTION effect, gently exfoliates dead skin cells and cleanses the scalp. Coconut extract strengthens your hair from the inside out, nourishes and protects it from harmful UV radiation, prevents hair loss and breakage, and stimulates hair growth. Moringa oil envelops every single hair, softens stiff and unruly curls. It nourishes your hair, making it smooth and shiny. Croton lechleri (Dragon's Blood tree) juice, moringa extract, and vitamins B5, B6, C, and E are responsible for protection against negative environmental factors of a big city. Coconut oil moisturizes and nourishes even the driest hair and makes it shiny.

    Useful tips for maximum results:

    1. Rinse your hair thoroughly with warm water.
    2. Apply a generous amount of conditioner to the entire length of your hair.
    3. Add water and massage the hair and scalp intensively for five minutes (the conditioner should foam a little).
    4. Rinse out the conditioner thoroughly with cool water.
    5. Remove excess moisture from your hair. Blot it or wrap it in a towel for a short time.
    6. Air-dry your hair naturally without using a hair dryer.

    Co-washing does not imply you should give up shampooing your hair completely. It is recommended to alternate between conditioner and shampoo if necessary.
