As I Am Coconut Cowash - 16 ounce - with Saw Palmetto, Castor Oil, & Phytosterols - Cleansing Conditioner - Preserves Moisture - Sulfate Free - Paraben Free

I don’t usually review products because I have a hard time finding the time to do it. I believe I’ve reviewed one thing here on Amazon. The reason I decided to write a review for this product is because it’s changed my life! My hair is long, straight, and fine and I would say medium in thickness. I color my hair (blond) and I also have Lupus so my hair has a hard time in general. Lately, for some reason, my hair has been so difficult to detangle. I have a good brush and was using an expensive shampoo and conditioner that were both sulfate free. When I tried to add more conditioner, it would get that greasy feeling the day after I washed my hair so I ended up having to wash it all the time which put more stress on my poor hair. I have been curious about WEN products but I absolutely refuse to spend so much money on a product that I would probably burn through in a week because I believe, according to the directions on WEN, I would have had to use 20+ pumps each time I washed my hair. So, to be fair, I can’t compare this product to WEN as I’ve never used it. Honestly, I chose this product over some other cleansing conditioners in the same price range because of the ingredients list. In my opinion, natural is best. Firstly, this product smells DIVINE. It lingers on your hair, too. Secondly, I was able to comb my hair out IN THE SHOWER which I’ve NEVER been able to do. Lastly, my hair was left feeling and looking very clean. I watched some youtube videos to get some clear instructions regarding co-washing because I had heard that if you didn’t do it right your hair ended up being greasy. I scooped out the product and made sure I got it on my entire scalp and worked it all the way down to my ends. I bent over in the shower because it was easier to really massage the product all over my scalp with my hair hanging down. I combed it out, twisted it and clipped it up while I went on with my shower. I kept it in for about 15 minutes and then made sure to wash it out completely. I let my hair air dry and when it was completely dry I could tell a HUGE difference in the way it looked. No frizzy, puffy ends and hardly any fly aways. My hair looked shiny, felt really clean, had body, and looked almost partially straightened. I love this Co Wash. I will NEVER go back to regular shampoo and conditioner. I know some people have complained about the lack of a pump on this but I like the tub because I can get to the very bottom instead of having to take a pump off and bang the bottle to get the remainder of the product out. I hate that!

I purposely waited a bit to write this review so that I had time to use this cowash a few times. I have to say that it is the best thing that ever happened to my hair! I will only use cowash from now on. I was afraid I would t get too many washes from the size container that it’s in, but I was wrong! I have used it 3 or 4 times so far, and I still have a lot left. I have shoulder length hair for reference. I was also afraid my hair may end up greasy from just using cowash, but boy was I wrong! My hair is clean, soft, and more manageable after using this. After using it for a while, I would say it’s a terrific value for the size of the container and how far it goes. It smells wonderful. It is just the right consistency- not too thick and not too thin. My hair is normally unruly and gets frizzy, but this cowash has helped so much! I can’t recommend it enough!

I HATE to wash my hair. I mean, I hate it. I have a lot of very fine hair. Very thick and wavy, but fine. It takes about 45 minutes to dry it and because it is so fine and (did I mention) dry (oh, and how about damaged from coloring) it gets frizzy frizzy frizzy. This is of course not helped by the fact that I live in Arizona where the air itself is dry and frizzy! Anyways - all that has changed since I used this wonderful product. I had read a review in the NY Times about co-shampoos in general and thought maybe I would like them. Then I came on here and checked out the reviews and after reading quite a few on quite a few different brands bought this one. Look! Five stars! After only ONE shampoo (co-shampoo?) everything I hated about washing my hair changed. I could tell the minute I started drying it that there was a difference. First of all - it took less than half the time to dry! I figure all that time I spent before was spent on drying the detergent that was in my hair - not on drying my actual hair. Second of all, this product actually enhanced my waves - making them luscious and almost even curly -- soooo easy to style. Just shake and bake! Also it left my hair very, very shiny. And NO FRIZZ. I was concerned that the softness that people mentioned in their reviews meant "lank" - but it doesn't. My hair is actually soft AND thick AND wavy/curly AND shiny AND not frizzy AND I LOVE IT!!! Boy am I sold. I am also very impressed with the price on this particular product as compared to others. Yes. It does have a coconut smell coming out of the jar - but I didn't notice it once I put a towel around my head. And yes, I did have to use about three "handfuls" of product - (I used enough to make my hair feel like I could run my fingers through it - and remember, I have a LOT of long fine hair - so I maybe had to use more than somebody else) and I thought I might need another jar every 3-4 washes - but I don't care. It is so totally worth the money! This is definitely a keeper for me. I am thrilled. Lauren Bacall, here I come! (Does anybody on Amazon even remember Lauren Bacall??!!!) LOL!!

I've been bouncing around with shampoos and conditioners my whole life. I have straight, thick hair but as I get older I had more hair fall(ripe age of 34 here). I don't use styling tools or hair products besides cleaning it. My hair is pretty tolerant but I can tell pretty fast when my hair doesn't like something. Most recently it was a loreal oil conditioner: L'Oreal Paris Hair Expertise OleoTherapy Replenishing Conditioner, 8.5 Fluid Ounce . It was limp and greasy even when I adjusted to a smaller amount. So I went hunting around for something new...and found As I Am. I've tried cowashes in the past like this: L'Oreal Paris EverCreme Sulfate-Free Moisture System Cleansing Conditioner, Camelina, 8.3 fl. Oz. and while it was ok, it was kind of tempermental - especially the pump bottle that never really worked. I got this in the mail, immediately dug in and loved it! Easy to work with and my hair was much softer than it was before. As I'm using it I can feel that my scalp and hair is clean but not that horrible too clean squeak. A very pleasant shower experience with a light coconutty smell, nothing gross and overpowering. The only thing I do think about is that it can be cumbersome to manage the tub of product over using a pump. I'm always wondering if I'm going to knock over the whole thing mid-wash and waste it all down the drain by accident. Otherwise, I've been strictly using this for about 2 weeks and will definitely buy more when I run out. Excellent price and works great.

These are the best line of hair care products that I have ever used on my naturally curly hair. I have had a lot of issues with breakage, dry damaged hair, and split ends. I was going to try Wen, but did not want to shell out that kind of money on a whim. Especially with all of the bad publicity about women's hair falling out. Every time I would previously wash and style my hair I could throw away handfuls of hair, what I could only imagine was from using too much product and dryer damage. I have followed the instructions on these products to the letter, and have gotten excellent results. My hair does not seem to be shedding or breaking outside of a reasonable amount. You first need to use the CoWash... I do not use an exorbitant amount, just enough to work through my hair comfortably. While the product is on your hair massage thoroughly with either your fingers or a wide tooth comb. Make sure you scrub your scalp to get all of the excess products out. After washing, keep your hair fairly damp. My hair is halfway down my back but not super coarse. I split my hair into two sections at the crown of my head, so I have half parted down, and the other half on top of my head. From here I work the leave-in conditioner through the bottom section. From there you add the Double Butter. I don't get too fussy about the leave-in, but I really work the Double Butter into my hair. I really try to coat every strand, and make sure that all of my curls have plenty of the moisturizer. After this step you use just enough of the Curling Jelly to work through your hair. I use about the same amount as the leave-in conditioner. I blow dry my hair because it would take entirely too long to air dry. My hair is SO soft and not frizzy at all when I am finished. I used to have to bog my hair down with copious amounts of hair gel, anti-frizz serum, and smoothing oil in order to achieve the same look. I am so excited that I discovered these products. My hair feels and looks so much healthier! I have been using these products for about 3 weeks now, and the transition was basically non-existent. My hair never went through a "weird" phase.

This is excellent product has extreme moisturizing properties. It is the PERFECT cowash/cleansing conditioner for any over processed hair or for those of us that live in dry climates and or have hard water. I am an old granny with long hair that that has the typical 'dry layer' on top. NOT ANYMORE! ONE month using this and my hair has SPARKLE! the grey strands are silvery. the layers underneath all of a sudden are full of heavy waves and and healthy shine. It rinses clean in hard water and has the added advantage when used in the shower of an all over skin cleanser/moisturizer. I wish this had been available for years. Ladies.. toss your shampoo... if it will clean my hair after a day out in a dusty corral with horses.. that means 'stuff' in your hair i don't want to think about <grin>, hot drying temperatures or cold drying temps.. sweat, grime and goo from cooking and other hair products (when i am forced to dress like a professional and use spray or curling products) then chances are it might work for you too. All the ick comes out, even heavy sweat and grime , other hair and skin products that might get into your hair including make up and greasy sunscreen and bug repellent. I just make sure to use enough. gently massage it in and work it through to the ends, leave it for a bit and rinse it in lukewarm water.. Many other co washes leave your hair dull .. this one does not. This is AMAZING! It's one of the best of a dozen brands of co-wash - conditioning cleansers I've tried. If I were in charge of marketing for this product.. i'd also target those in dry climates or processed, or long hair, not just those ladies and gents with heavy or kinky curls.

I’m new to the cowash game. I got this to try so I can cut down on shampooing, extend the life of my color and try to tame frizz. I’ve tried a couple different brands, but y’all. This one. It feels so silky, it does NOT weigh my hair down (I have very fine wavy hair), my hair feels clean, not oily or stripped. And the smell. Let’s talk about the smell. I want to use this all over. The scent is amazing. It’s not a strong scent, but it’s there. It smells like vacation. The scent of coconut is so light. I absolutely love this product. The only thing I would change is the container. It’s not a deal breaker for me, I can just put it in a different bottle.

I have to say, I am shocked by some of the reviews that said this dried out their hair, however no product works perfectly for everyone. I'd say if you are on the fence about this, go ahead and give it a try. It is very affordable. I am a white girl with Native American heritage. I have pretty thick and wavy-ish hair (2a, 2b on a good day). A little under a year ago I had a total hair disaster when my previous stylist over-bleached my hair. Chunks of my hair were falling out as she took out the foils. It was awful. I had been on a mission, almost obsessively, to find out the best way to really take care of my hair. I came across the curly girl method after I was venting to my good friend about my issues. Shes African American and told me all about the methods and it really made a lot of sense to me and even though I don't have those luxurious curls that she does (but I sure wish I did!) I started to follow the method in order to bring my hair back to its healthy state. Enter this As I Am. I have gone from being a product junkie to really only having this, and a deep condish in my shower. I wash my hair once a week, and deep condish every other. I have NO troubles washing this out of my hair, it has great slip and leaves my hair feeling clean and not weighed down at all. I will agree with others about the packaging, its a huge pain. I went to the grocery store and bought one of those resuable ketchup squirt bottles for $0.99 and I scoop As I Am out of the jar and use that instead. Its a messy process at first but its so much easier to use in the shower that way! The only other product I use is a leave-in with heat protectant bc I still cant quite give up my curling iron to pop in a few waves once my hair air drys.

Everything was great.

Like how it easy it makes to wash my hair when I am very busy to do a complete wash. It keeps the hair hydrated and has good smell.

My favourite cowash

This has helped my fine, dry hair so much. Together with leave in Moisturiser my fly away hair has gotten softer, shinier and is more under control

I’ve been using this for years. Got long curly hair and cowash it in between shampoo washes or when I wanna refresh the look. I got sensitive skin so alternatives like this are essencial to my scalp, and helps maintain healthy length. Scent is not too strong. Hair looks fresh after washing with it.
