How Do I Co-Wash?

[mrsbookworm]

I am new to the boards and have seen that lots of you co-wash your hair. Does this mean washing with conditioner? I relax my hair, but stretch at least 3 months (this time I stretched a little over 5 months). When is it best to co-wash? How do I co-wash? What are the pros/cons? If anyone has a link to a previous thread that discussed this, please feel free to direct me there. Thanks!!!

Yep, co-washing is the same as shampooing except you use conditioner.
Co-washing adds moisture to the strands. You can do it as often as you like, some people do it daily. I prefer to co-wash twice a week.
