As I Am Coconut Cowash Cleansing Conditioner - 32 ounce - Gentle Daily Cleanser for Hair and Scalp - Adds and Preserves Moisture

I have fingertip-length straight Oriental hair (growing it long for cancer wig donation). I use the cowash daily after exercising. It keeps my scalp from feeling itchy and keeps the ends feeling smooth and healthy, unlike when I used regular shampoo. Detangling my hair is easier than when I used shampoo and conditioner. I appreciate that I can use this one product to get better results instead of going the shampoo/conditioner route. Another plus is that it smells great! My husband commented that my hair smells really good, which is something he never noticed when I used other hair products.

Update!Ok, so because I had a TON of this stuff, I HATE being wasteful, and my hair is now long enough to pull up if it looks like crap, I started using it again. The results are amazing! I no longer need to condition after I cowash, nor do I need to use a leave-in after. My hair is softer and the frizz has been reduced to almost nil. It does take forever to rinse out, probably due to the coconut oil,the porosity of my hair, or some mixture of the two, but it's worth the few extra minutes in the shower for the results. I do not need to use as hard of a gel to keep my waves and refreshing is done with a light mist of my CK slip spray. (Usually I need to refresh with more gel or a spray that has some kind of "hold" factor.) I only wash 2-3x per week, and my hair didn't look great the first few. I'm glad I kept using it to get the full benefits.Side note: I did also use it in lieu of shave oil. It's amazing! I like to add a touch of my body wash to it for a closer shave, but that's personal preference.Original:I have thick/dense, fine 2b-c waves.. probably high porosity. My waves went flat, which is unfortunate since there are so many good reviews for similar hair type. It took FOREVER to rinse out, and even then, it wasn't. It also wasn't I found that it was still in my hair (even after several minutes of non-stop rinsing) when I put in my styler. There must have been some weird hair black magic that occured because my hair started to foam like I was using actual shampoo. The styler is water based, so that was definitely interesting.It comes in a huge tub with a pump. Doesn't fit in the ledge of the shower, ended up having to put it on my shower stool. I have no idea what I'm going to do with the rest of it since it's pretty useless on my hair. Fortunately, it didn't cost much so, I'm not out a ton of money, but it's really a waste. I wish it came in a smaller size to try. Consistency seems thick at first, but thins out with mild emulsification, like there is almost too much oil. Hopefully I'll be able to use it in lieu of shave oil.Side note: it smells amazing! I love coconut, but if you don't, you'll hate it.

Love this product.

For the size of the container the pump is great. Cowash, hair comes out great

I wanted to like this so bad. All it did was make my hair extremely greasy and weighed down, despite liberally rinsing it out with each use.My hair is naturally not very greasy, and somehow my hair feels cleaner before I wash it.I also don't see it doing anything for my curls unfortunately.About halfway through the bottle and can't wait to be done with it so I can get something different.

Great for curly hair, and smell is pleasant. Appreciate the frizz control provided by this product. Just ordered more.

I LOVE this stuff! I have thick, wavy hair that is cursed with frizz and prone to build-up if I use shampoo with a separate conditioner. I was using a different brand that made both coconut and pomegranate versions of a co-wash that I loved, but it was of course discontinued. I started to give up after several failed attempts to find a similar product that my hair would love but was so tired of not liking the products I was using.I finally came across As I Am, buying the smaller jar at first, and I was instantly obsessed. It's perfection for my hair. It conditions without weighing it down and I've yet to experience build-up. I do use a clarifying shampoo about once every 2 weeks out of habit but even using that, I feel like my hair doesn't get the "stripped" feeling it used to get. It's like my hair is so much healthier and nourished. It takes barely any effort to get a comb through my very long, thick hair- where I used to have to use leave in conditioning spray to spare my arm. And when my hair dries it's so smooth and light.I'm also picky when it comes to scents. While this does have a coconut scent, it's not the heavy buttery coconut of tanning lotion. It's more of a subdued natural scent. Pleasant but not overwhelming.I loved this so much I instantly ordered the 32oz version and have never looked back. I usually hate pump container systems but I have had no problems with this and you can easily take the top off to get every last ounce.

I usually use a more expensive brand of cowash but I read good reviews on this one so I tried it on my curly hair. It was just ok, it was a little to thin or watery for me, I didn't feel like my curls were getting very clean or conditioned. I also didn't like the scent....at all. It's very strange. Im probably just going to stick with the one I've always used. This might be a better option for someone with thinner hair, or shorter hair, I just need a good thick formula. Oh and that smell, it's like part coconut part I don't have a clue but I'm not a fan!
