Can this shampoo be used as a co-wash (1-2 times a week), in addition to weekly shampoo/deep conditions for Type 4 natural hair? Or is it too harsh for kinky coily hair, more than once a week?

I do not have type 4 hair so I would not be able to tell you what will be the effect on your hair. Hpwever, I can tell you that the shampoo is very clear and very light and I do not think it would be harsh to use it more than once a week. I hope this helps!

It's not a harsh shampoo, as are some other tea tree shampoos I have used. I'm not sure how it would react with natural hair, but if you condition deeply, you should be OK. My hair is very straight but very very dry and I can't shampoo more than twice or three times at most per week. I use a very good conditioner and my hair never felt dry as a result of the shampoo.

I am not sure what type 4 hair is. The my hair is naturally curly/oily and I use it three times a week.

Co-wash is short for "conditioner washing." A shampoo is not a conditioner, therefore it's not considered a "co wash." You can however use the conditioner for a co-wash. As far as if the shampoo is too harsh for coily hair, only your hair can determine that. My twin is a 4a and says this shampoo is more of a clarifying shampoo for her.

I don't see why not. I use it everyday. I just recently highlighted my hair and I love it!

Yes, its a great shampoo. You might need to wash your hair two or three times before its conditioned and braided. Its very natural i love to use it on my american born jamaican dna kids...lol I hope you like it too.

once a week is good and yes the shampoo and conditioner works, but it really works better with the vitamins. I saw results just after one month, using the whole line of products,

The shampoo is very gentle and can be used daily. You are aware that it will do nothing to lessen your gray hair, only keep it clean and shiny. In addition, although you did not ask, I think no one needs to shampoo daily - three times a week should be sufficient or you will dry out your hair. My opinion only.

the rent is if you wash your hair again during the week and you want to use their brains conditioner but the deep treatment is once a week it works great that way for me good luck it's a very good product my hair has grown tremendously.

I use the shampoo for cleansing my very thick shoulder length hair and while it moisturizes, I find the conditioner helps with detangling and leaves it more manageable. Hope that's helpful.

I use between 3-4. I have found that this product requires a LOT to lather on its own. I have found if I pre-wash with a different shampoo first, I can use less of this product and still get a good lather. Still its frustrating that the bottle is so small and on its own you'd have to use so much of it. It ain't cheap!

I am african American with relaxed hair that reach just an inch or two below where my bra snaps in the back. My hair normally tangle a great deal while roller setting, with this shampoo I no longer have that problem. It detangles my hair very well. I hope I have answered your question. I truly LOOVE this product. Every texture hair is different but I suggest you try it, after all it's very affordable. I imagine it will work wonders on natural hair.

No, this shampoo won't lather like regular shampoo. It is similar to the "wen" shampoo, thought much cheaper. It is a basic 3:1 mix of conditioner and shampoo. The first time I used it I thought the same thing. You don't need much of the product to wash your hair. I have shoulder length hair and use 1-1.5 pumps for my entire head. What I do like is having no more tangles when I go to comb through my wet hair.

I use it after washing and drying my hair, so that I can get rid of the "frizzies." It has not been necessary for me to use it on days that I don't shampoo. (I do wash my hair frequently, though, so I'm not sure if this would be the case for someone who shampoos less often.)

I switch shampoos but 2 times a week I think would be fine!! especially if you use a lot of product in your hair :) really up to what your normal schedule is.. hope this helps! good luck I like the shampoo and love the smell also.

As a part of a natural hair care regimen, we wash our hair to cleanse it but too much shampooing will strip our hair of its natural oils and make it dry. Dry hair causes breakage. Therefore, we do a method called co-washing in between shampoos because it is more gentle on our hair and puts in moisture instead of taking it out. You can use any good conditionor for a cowash but this product is made specially for natural black hair care is all. I sometimes use this but highly recommend only 100% narural hair products on natural black hair. Try www.alikaynaturals.com and good luck! She has a youtube page as well. "Blackonyx".

Love to answer anything on my favorite Conditioner ever! Most people use this once maybe twice a month just as a deep conditioner. I myself I have hair down the middle of my back it's very thick. ..I wash about every three days sometimes more. I use this every time I wash I've the rinse but I just can't get away from the mask. I know you don't need a lot but I'm pretty generous with mine I totally coat my hair clip it up while I do something else. One tub has taken me over a month! What is left is probably a good 5 more washes.

I am Dutch/Irish mostly and have dark blonde 2b/c hair. I find it too heavy for it's intended use, but as a co wash it's excellent. I use it on my blonde 3a/b toddler as a co wash as well and it really helps moisturize and define her curls too. I haven't tried their other products yet but I was glad to find that this one worked even if not as intended. :D

I use this as a regular conditioner with every shampoo. I love it! I will also use it as a deep conditioner every few weeks. It helps decrease frizz and smooths my style. It's not a straightening treatment, but great for using between treatments to keep things smooth.

Oh no. Do u mean after using it? Then what would be the point of the deep conditioner? I have kinky curly hair, so I only shampoo once a week or so. I condition daily. When it comes to deep conditioners, I make sure I use them on my shampoo days. That way I am putting moisture and strength back into my hair after a good shampoo. I shampoo once, but contrition twice because of the texture of my hair. I then deep condition and leave the deep conditioner in as I finish showering. Once done, I use the LOC method to seal moisture in my hair

I have type 4b natural hair and it works splendidly. It is a deep conditioner that you can use with or without heat. It is strengthening but does provide plenty of moisture.
