How long do you leave co-wash in your hair?
How long do you leave co-wash in your hair?
I've been leaving it in for 15m or so?

I put the conditioner in my hair, then let it sit a couple of minutes while I wash the rest of my body. When I'm done I rinse it all in one go.
-
Is co-wash conditioner? 30 sec max.

I follow the directions on the container. Mine doesn't say to let it set, so it stays in as long as it takes me to give it and my scalp a good scrub.
Edit: I also use something called co-wash, not conditioner.

You mean conditioner? I wash my hair when I get into the shower and leave the conditioner in while I wash the rest of my body, then once I'm done I rinse my hair out. So it stays in for however long it takes to clean the rest of my body.

Co-Wash is not a conditioner.

My bad then, idk what that is so disregard my answer.

Apparently that means no shampoo, only conditioner...? On the rare occasion that I use conditioner, it goes in after the shampoo is out and stays in for however long it takes me to soap the rest of my body.

For curly hair types, shampoo shouldn't really be used. Conditioner is used to "wash" the scalp and hair (thus, "co-wash"), rinse it out, and then condition again, leaving it in while you wash the rest of you with soap, and then rinse it all off at the end.

Sit time doesn’t make a difference for my hair so it’s solely down to how much warm water I want and how tired I am (I’m an afternoon-evening showerer).
-
Until I finish showering. It’s the last step I do.

Is this a colloquialism for cum?
-
Doesn’t it say in the bottle?
-
Nope.

Who calls anything cowash?
Anyone with curly hair who is wanting to follow the Curly Girl method of caring for your curls so they maintain their shape better.
Although I don't much like the term either. But the method does really work.
I always had straight and flat hair and kept it really short for the last 20 years. The girlfriend tried curly girl for awhile and while her hair isn't really curly, it really made the waves much more dramatic and it looked amazing.
We're not big on regimented routines though, so while she stopped it after a while, we still get most of the same products, and even just with that selective purchasing, her hair is still nicer and softer than before, and it made me want to grow my hair out, and now I have very handsome looking waves I never thought would have been possible for me.
The Curly Girls speak the truth, even if cowashing and plopping sound like silly things!
Sounds like you haven’t been on the same corners of the internet as I have, because reading about co-washing is not strange to me. Have you been to hair care communities?
It’s cow-ash
