To all our bearded friends: Take Notes. You may have heard the term "co-washing" pass by in the bearded and her industry. For many people this is still an unknown concept. Time to change that, given the co-wash method is making a big advance.
What is the co-wash method?
If you are quickly in links, you may already have it. Co-wash stands for your hair or beard only with conditioner washing. Beard soap and beard shampoo So you can leave in your bathroom cupboard. With co-washing you were therefore your beard only with a beard conditioner, which shortens your routine a lot. Whether you want to wash your beard daily, or 1 to 2 times a week. With the co-wash it doesn't matter, because you don't dry out your beard hair. This trend is increasingly well -known among the bearded man, but does not find its origin there.
The co-wash started with women and men with long hair who noticed that their hair was going to dry out by shampoo. The shampoo was banned from the routine, and they started with only conditioner. The result was surprising .. A clean, moisturized and hydrated hairstyle. The smart bearded man realized that beard hair has always been a bit drier, and therefore the co-wash started to try on the beard. And what turns out? A golden idea.
Does it suit your beard?
Bearded hair is always drier than head hair. That is why this method has become so popular among our hairy friends. When you talk about head hair, it does not suit everyone (for example a fat scalp). Beards are less susceptible to this. We dare to say that it is suitable for every beard, and we will explain why.
When you wash your beard with shampoo (which are often full of strong cleaning agents) or even beard shampoo (with fewer cleaning agents), you remove important oils. Time and again, day by day. What do you think that does that with the health of your beard? Is not getting any better. Those oils are important for the health and growth of your beard. You can hardly find those cleaning agents that we were just talking about in a beard conditioner. What are they full of? Healthy products such as argan oil, jojoba oil, shea butter, coconut oil and other healthy, natural products. Sounds a lot better.
I hear you thinking. "Do I have to throw my beard shampoo out the window?" But it is not that black and white either. You can wash your beard 1 or 2 times a week without any problems. Let's call it balance.
Does the co-washing method fit my lifestyle?
It all sounds ideal. And for the man with a quiet job that does not work with mud, dust, or sweat, this is it too. But what if you work with that? Suppose you are working outside in the dust every day, or you sport several times a day? In fact, it comes down to the following: the co-washing method does not suit you if you often get dirty. Of course you want to wash that dirt from your beard at the end of the day. You do this again with a product with more cleaning agents, such as a shampoo or beard shampoo.
