Whenever I'm getting ready to try a product, I troll the forums because I can usually find more helpful details than other product review sites.
I've only tried the Coconut Cowash. I LOVE it. For me, it's not too heavy or oily. I get a really nice "clean" feeling, no buildup, but simultaneously very soft and moisturized. (BTW, I have very fine, dense, kinky coily BSL, normal porosity, 4B hair & only use 2-3 tbsp of the product per wash.)
I honestly think only part of your experience has to do with your hair texture/type. The other part is other products you use/used. My cousin has hair similar to mine but she uses a lot of mineral oils, cones, and paraben based products. So I think the Coconut Cowash wasn't strong to break through her chemical barrier. She said it left her hair greasy, dry, and hard/rough. I couldn't convince her, but I hope some of you who consider buying products will think about how it might interact with other products you use or have used. Just some food for thought. ;-)
