i do this 5 days a week and shampoo 2x a week- if you use a very gentle shampoo there is not much difference but if you use a harsh one you can tell the difference immediately. With me being natural and wearing my hair out- it is neccessary to wet and condition it daily. I love cowashes i have been doing them for almost 3 yrs. now.

R2D2 - It sounds more appealing to me to ditch the shampoo completely as it strips my hair also and takes about 2-3 days  to go back to normal. After shampooing i have to moisturise, oil like crazy and put in cornrow before it retains its softeness yet conditioner works fab on my hair so its make more sense to rid the shampoo as this is the problem. So yes when i take my hair out of conrow next i'll start co washing

Thanks for this ladies, i'm really going to try it and see if this works for my hair. I'm actually hoping it will and my hair will benefit more from no poo.  Am I right in saying i just wash hair and scalp in my normal conditioner as i would shampoo. Do i need to clarify before? Any tips?

I love CO Washes.   

CO Washing makes my hair extra soft, moisturized and more managable. I CO Wash 2-3 times a week and Shampoo/Clarify once a month. My hair comes out clean with no buildup when I CO Wash. CO Washing has helped me retain more length as oppose to when I was using shampoo, and my hair grows faster as a result of frequent CO Washes, just another added bonus.

oh, okay, plenty of people on the board do it.  Ask TwinkletOES, she just started a thread about it as a matter of fact.

I must say I'm really curious about the No Poo (shampoo) method and wondering if anyone does this and has your hair flourished (or not) as a result. I've not tried it myself but would like to know what your regime if you no poo.
