I've been mostly COW my hair for a couple of years now.

I have some shampoo around for when it feels like it absolutely must be washed, but mainly I do cheapie conditioner (I have Suave right now) and even though my hair is short ---about 3" long all over--- it does a great job! It is oily at the roots after about the second day--even when I shampoo. So I COW every other day, and it stays clean.

There are enough 'cleansing agents' in conditioner that it cleans hair well without drying it out. Actually, if I shampoo with 'shampoo'--it seems as though my hair gets dirty faster, now.

I agree with you, PinkWolf. Good tip. Cuts down on the amount of products we consume and use up.
