Hi Curlies! Here is a review on As I Am Coconut Co-Wash Cleansing Conditioner. I purchased this product after reading so many good reviews, and it was on sale at Target. So ,I thought this was the perfect time to see if this product was that good.I started off with wet hair and then I massaged the product on my scalp and into my hair. It provides lots of slip, which makes the detangling process  super Easily and it rinses away without leaving any residue behind. It has a light creamy consistency with a lovely coconut smell.The only problem I have is that the packaging isn’t that good it’s in a screw top container.My hair is super soft and my curls are well defined and moisturized.This product will remain a staple in my hair regimen. Let me end by saying that this product is so AMAZING!

Have you tried As I Am products? If so, do you have a favorite? I would love to hear from you!
