No worries. I don't think you were doing anything WRONG per se.
My purpose for co-washing is simply to cleanse using a substitute for shampoo avoiding the SLSs. So whatever I did/sometimes do with shampoo I now do with the condish. Hence the mixing with water and the scalp application. Since we need moisture, an added benefit of using condish is an increase in moisture content. Moisture/Protein balance is a whole other issue. It can be confusing to figure out at first so ask all the questions now....
The goal is to get the scalp clean so focusing on the scalp is best. The suds will travel down the strand and cleanse along the way. If anything, I squeeze the condish out...
I use condish everytime I wash so either once a week or 2 a week.
Girl you've turned my light bulb on!!!
Ok about the moisture/protein...I understand those are 2 diff types I just mentioned both because some people use condish with moisture and some with protein. Gotcha!!!
Ok, so check me out....
- apply cheap (Aussie Moist, Cantu Moist, Silk Element MegaSilk) to dry hair (relaxer style)
- let set for about 30 mins
- jump in shower rinse
- apply Silk Element Cholesterol Treatment
- after shower is over rinse
Whatcha think? :eyebrows2
