I'm not calling you a sucka...but....

During my research online for healthy haircare products, one concept has repeatedly come up: co-washing as opposed to shampooing.

No i must admit, upon first hearing about the concept, i was not convinced. to me, it just sounded like slathering conditioner on already dirty hair in the hope that it would somehow come clean. but testimonial after testimonial online speaks to the benefits of using a product which promotes moisture and health to clean your hair, as opposed to many of the sulfate based shampoos which can strip your hair of moisture.

It seems that getting over the notion that you have to see bubbles in the shower to produce clean, healthy hair is the ultimate hurdle.

But it's apparently possible.

So, I'd decided to give it a go, see what happens. many women online have touted conditioners easily found at Tarjay and The W as great products to use when co-washing. I figure 1) i have $5 and 2) my water is still on, so why not give it a shot this weekend!

Well, imagine my surprise when i saw an infomercial yesterday about a hair care system called WEN.



Guess what is soooooo amazing about WEN:

The WEN® Cleansing Conditioner is a revolutionary new concept in cleansing your hair that has Hollywood buzzing! It’s special because it cleanses hair thoroughly but without lathering and all the harsh ingredients that may be found in ordinary shampoos — it is designed so it won’t strip your hair and scalp of their natural oils. Your hair is left with sheen, moisture, manageability and better color retention. (Source)

and now for the final quiz question: guess how much it costs?

$29.95 plus s&h

Ok, so sure, you could spend $30 to try this "revolutionary new concept" or....and this is just a suggestion....you could spend way less on V05 Moisture Milk Conditioner, or Herbal Essence Hello Hydration, or Pantene Hydrating Curls to try a concept that the natural hair care community has been talking about for a while now.

Don't be a sucka.
