Review (4/5): Decent cleansing conditioner for dry, damaged hair
I have very dry, very damaged hair, and am CONSTANTLY on the search for the "perfect" products for my hair. I have now tried just about every shampoo and conditioner available, ranging from very cheap drugstore products, to very expensive salon products. I've also tried a few infomercial products. While I have found several products I do like very much, I am still on the search...
Having heard that Pantene Co-Wash might be a good alternative to my expensive infomercial cleansing conditioner, I purchased the large bottle and gave it a go. After following the directions to wash into my hair and then let it sit for a minute before rinsing, I towel-dried my hair and then let it dry naturally (my wavy, frizzy hair usually does better air-drying than it does being dried via hair dryer). My hair was definitely easy to brush, but I feel it didn't get my roots very clean.
So I tried it again. And then again. Each time, I felt it did a good job detangling, but not such a good job cleaning. My hair looked fine for about 8 hours before it began to look greasy. Getting my very dry hair to look greasy is not an easy feat!
Overall, I would say this is a decent cleansing conditioner for dry, damaged hair, but it might leave some people's hair (mine included) looking a bit greasy, especially after a few hours.
Although this product is marketed for African-American hair, it works for other textures of hair, as well. I have very fine, dry, damaged Caucasian hair, and it works for my hair texture, as well.
