PR: As I Am Coconut CoWash


Hey everyone! It's time for another review (finally). I know it's been so long, but I already have a post about all that, so I won't go into it here (click here if you want to read about it. It's pretty short). On to the review!

Bought on a whim, this turned out to be a very good product. I'm starting to think that Sally's doesn't carry products that aren't good. Go ahead and leave a comment if you've had a bad experience with Sally's.

I have naturally curly hair, and it can get very dry. I've read so many things about how the majority of shampoos use harsh chemicals that strip your hair of essential oils. That's already bad on its own, but when you're dealing with curly, dry hair, it's even worse! One solution commonly provided is not to wash your hair as often. That doesn't work for my hair because although the length of my hair is dry, my roots get oily quickly and I really do need to wash it everyday. Such a predicament!

This cowash (I've never heard that term before) is perfect because it has just the right amount of cleansing for daily use and it's also very conditioning. It's like a 2-in1 shampoo, but better for me. 2-in-1 shampoos are too cleansing and not conditioning enough for my hair, but this is more conditioning rather than cleansing so it's perfect. So if your hair is dry, this is for you (maybe even if it's not curly), but if your hair is quite oily you might want to go for a 2-in-1 shampoo.

As a bonus, it's very nice for a college student (like me) or a very busy person because it puts two steps in one. I just realized that quite a bit of time is spent just on sudsing up and rinsing my hair because my hair is quite thick and it's starting to get kind of long.  This is so quick. You just apply it, comb it through and either rinse out immediately or leave it in while you shave your legs. I'm in the habit of leaving my conditioner in my hair while I shave, so I leave this in until the end of my shower.

All in all, it's very nice. It leaves you hair clean and soft, and it smells pretty good, too. I think this sort of thing is starting to become a trend because I've seen L'Oreal's version in stores as well. If anyone has tried that, please let me know what you think because I'm one use away from being done with this and I'm always up for trying something new :)

Just remember that makeup can only do so much, and true beauty comes from within.

If you clicked on the link for "whim" you'll be wanting to listen to this. I couldn't help it. Ever since seeing that picture, I think of that song whenever I hear/think/say the word "whim."
