Is Cleansing Conditioner Giving Shampoo A Run For Its Money?

by Kate Wolfson

Two-in-one hair products are something of a double-edged sword: Spending less time primping in the morning is great, but skimping on proper hair care on the other hand? Not so much. Enter cleansing conditioners. Co-washes—as they’re commonly referred to—wield all the cleansing power of traditional shampoo sans the drying detergents. But don’t expect them to work into a lather: The lack of sulfates means the formulas are suds-free. As a result, your hair is clean but not stripped of the natural oils it needs to stay healthy and glossy. Most notably, the gentle, ultra-moisturizing cleanser is a godsend for curly locks or chemically treated hair. So go ahead and try these options out, we have a feeling you’ll be giving your trusty shampoo the boot.
