water only no-poo?

[bloggingsara]

Has anyone done (or is currently doing) water only cleansing + conditioner to condition? If so, how's it working for you? I'm very interested in doing water only to cleanse+conditioner but am curious how it's working for others

I have yet to get it to work for me. I'm not sure if it's the product or my hair or what.

I would like to nominate this comment for "least helpful"

Actually I am somewhat confused. Are you going water-only for everything? Or just to wash, and then you'll be conditioning?

water for the washing part, conditioner for the conditioning part.

works great for me! i actually condition with a detangler first, then clean with plain water. (my hair is dry, coarse, curly, and waist-length.)

oh nice idea re: condition first then water wash. i'll have to try that next time. i did the water wash+conditioner last nite and today my hair is a bit greasy but not insanely greasy. i'm hoping my scalp adjusts with time and the grease goes away.

Yup! I've been doing it for 2.5 years and love it! I just rinse my hair with water (which rinses out the hair gel I use everyday) and then condition with conditioner, let it sit, then wash out with water! :)

I'm at about 4 years doing that exact same routine and I love it. My hair is pretty and soft and the curls are wonderful, even with all the coloring I do.

I do the water/conditioner thing most days. I use a small amount of sulfate free shampoo every 7-10 days, depending on how grody my hair feels. I'm very attached to mousse, and I use hairspray occasionally so I have to get rid of the buildup somehow.

thanks for your reply. i wonder if i could get away with just water+conditioner if i don't use product in my hair.........

I do this and really like the results

for days that I need to really 'clean' the hair I mix in some baking soda in the hair and scrub with my fingers and then condition

awesome, thanks for your feedback! i decided to try co-washing again (last time i tried it was years ago). my hair is wet now. we will see how it is when it's dry!
