Very impressed
I received a couple sample tubes of the co-wash not really knowing what it was at first, then I realized it's a no-lather shampoo or "cleansing conditioner". It is not supposed to lather so you just rub it onto your scalp with your fingertips and then rinse it very well. My hair was so soft and this actually cleaned my scalp. I have an oily scalp and dry, frizzy, highlighted hair. My hair is also curly. I am seriously considering buying this even though it's expensive. Might very well be worth it. FYI I have used DEVACURL No Poo and I think Aveda's is better.

Not for me
I cannot get passed the smell of this. To me, it smells like pickle juice. You have to use a ton of product, so the bottle won't last long. Love the concept of a co-wash, but this one just didn't do it for me. I prefer the Nutriplenish line.

NOT SUDSY
This really works well for my hair. I wash it every other day with a small amount of shampoo. You only need a very little and it will not suds up. It keeps my hair nice with loose curls. The curl stays in and the next day I just spray with water and it looks great. Love this shampoo. I need to do very little to keep my hair looking great. Highly recommend this shampoo for hair that is not only tight curls but loose like mine.

It works!!!!!
I found that a lot of natural products don't do anything for my hair. I tried this product once and immediately saw a difference. My hair was detangled and it felt softer.

Best con wash yet
I definitely prefer this to any regular conditioner AND con wash specific products I’ve used thus far including deva no-poo con-wash. Softer more manageable hair.

Great curls
I have fine, curly hair, do a full wash about every 10-12 days and generally use the co-wash once or twice in the interim. This co-wash doesn't suds up, it's definitely not meant to replace shampoo. My hair feels a little heavier after using this product and tends to leave my scalp looking a little greasy BUT my curls go wild when I use this. They're more defined after a co-wash than any other time in that wash cycle. It's a lemony smell, that I like, but it doesn't linger at all.
I definitely recommend to someone with curly hair and would suggest it's better for coarser hair than fine. I will buy again and add the full be curly lineup to my routine.
