What the gurus are saying

This co-wash works as a shampoo-conditioner replacement for some but leaves others' hair straw-like and dry, even with added conditioning afterward. The difference seems to hinge on how quickly hair dries out; those with moisture-hungry strands may want to test-patch first or use it on alternate wash nights alongside a hydrating shampoo.

~Yay
"There is the New Wash, which I have used for ages and I've really liked it. This product replaces shampoo and conditioner together."
~Nay
"I would use it on the night when I was doing a bond repair treatment, alternating with a regular hydrating shampoo [...] so I didn't strip my hair. My hair gets dried out so easily, especially living here in Colorado. So I like the idea of a co-wash. [...] But New Wash just left my hair like straw. I got through it because I would just put a really conditioning, nice conditioner on afterward, but this is a no-go for me. I know people that love it, so I'm probably in the minority there."
