co-wash

Shampoo-free hair cleaning

Co-wash is washing hair with conditioner instead of shampoo, a technique popular among people with curly, coily, or dry hair.

The practice preserves natural oils that traditional shampoos strip away.

Co-wash works as both noun and verb: I do a co-wash between shampoo days, She co-washes twice a week.
