Review (3/5): III Sisters of Nature Coconut Milk Cleansing Co-Wash
This co-wash has some interesting ingredients for its self-proclaimed title of a "cleansing co-wash" but a quick look- up of the ingredients doesn't reveal a cleansing agent. It is a moisturizing co-wash made up of mainly oils & butter which are good ingredients to use during colder months. I've used this product 3 times (twice after a hot oil treatment) and had more positive results after the hot oil treatment, rinsing with warm water: my scalp felt cleansed and curls were moisturized with minimal frizz. When I used it as a straight co-wash & rinsed with cool water, my hair felt overly coated & slimy and only felt clean after a prolonged rinsing.
Positives: Able to work the product throughout hair after initially applying it to my scalp & roots; very thick product so a little goes a long way; hair felt moisturized after rinsing; brought curls to life; fairly cheap at Beauty Supply stores.
Negatives: Strong unpleasant scent that lingers after rinsing (smells like cherry cough syrup); can be too heavy for thin/fine hair if too much product is used or if not completely rinsed out; hair didn't feel 100% clean after rinsing; difficult to find on the ground.
Although the product is giving me a good base to begin my wash day regimen during these colder months, I can recreate the same effect by adding oils to any cheap conditioner so I won't repurchase it.
