10 Co-Washing Problems: (4) When And How Often To Co-wash?

-->
Today, we look at the issue of how much is too much? How many times can you co-wash in a week or month or even daily? There are three angles to this stumbling block:
  • The amount of time you have at your disposal
  • How much conditioner you have
  • How clean you want your scalp
It is obvious that most of us don't have the whole day at our disposal.  Examine your work schedule,  do you have enough time to hop in the shower to wash? Can you do it in the morning or the night? If you have  leave for work in the morning, can you co-wash and have dry hair before leaving? If it’s at night, can you have time do attend to your hair?

Another thing is how much are you willing to spend on conditioners? If you are a minimalist like me, you may want the conditioner to last you for at least 2 months. In this case and depending on your length, you may probably co-wash once a week . However, if you don’t mind using up bottles within a month,  and have enough time to do it on a daily basis, that will be your choice but remember to incorporate protein may be in a protein leave-in to prevent moisture overload.

How often do you co-wash? What determines this?

Placenta In Your Hair

Placenta or the popular brand, Placentyne leave in treatment has been with us for ages!  Keratin, which hair is made of, is a strong protein that can break down with sun exposure, wind, pollutants, daily maintenance, manipulation, heat tools, and chemical treatments like permanent color. This is where using protein treatments come in to help temporarily repair the hair strands. Protein treatments are used to add strength and resiliency to damaged hair by attaching hydrolyzed proteins directly to the hair follicle and hardening the cuticle layer. If there are holes in the hair cuticle, it will fill those holes or gaps while also placing a barrier around the hair shaft to lessen further damage. Most protein treatments are conditioning treatments.

How To choose The Ordinary Vitamin C Serum

If you missed the post on the types of vitamin C serums carried by The Ordinary, then, just go through it and come back to this. Paula's Choice and The Ordinary seem to have a lot in common when it comes to formulations and I love that! Let's start with the highest form which is the L-ascorbic acid. This is found in the The Ordinary Vitamin C silicone and vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2%.   Much like our Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2% formula, this product also offers a suspension but in light silicones for a smooth, non-gritty skin finish. Despite the very light forms of silicones used, silicones do impair dermal exposure to Vitamin C slightly but the additional (30%) concentration of Vitamin C helps compensate for this slight inefficiency. A very strong tingling but non-irritating sensation is expected during the first 1-2 weeks of use until the skin's tolerance to such high exposure is elevated. If desired, this formula can be diluted in a cream base pe...
