Design Essentials Almond & Avocado Nourishing Co-Wash 16oz

Design Essentials Almond & Avocado Nourishing Co-Wash 16oz is a hydrating, detangling cleansing cream with sweet almond and avocado oils that gently cleanses hair and scalp � removing product residue and build-up without stripping natural moisture, leaving curly hair nourished, defined, and frizz-free.

Key Benefits for Natural, Curly and Coily Hair

This nourishing co-wash is the ideal alternative to traditional shampoo for curly and coily hair types that require frequent cleansing without moisture loss. Traditional shampoos can strip away the natural oils that curly hair desperately needs, leaving it dry, frizzy, and prone to breakage. This co-wash cleanses gently and thoroughly using a conditioning base that leaves the hair’s natural moisture intact � so hair feels clean without the dryness and tightness that follows a harsh shampoo wash.

One of the standout benefits of this co-wash is its exceptional detangling performance. The rich blend of natural ingredients provides outstanding slip and glide through the hair, reportedly cutting detangling time by up to 30 minutes � making it a genuine time-saver for those with thick, densely coiled, or knotty natural hair. The formula simultaneously cleanses, conditions, and detangles in a single step, streamlining the wash day routine without compromising on results.

The nourishing co-wash is suitable for all curl types and is particularly beneficial for those who co-wash frequently � whether as a weekly routine or between shampoo washes to refresh curls and maintain moisture levels. At 16oz, it offers excellent value for those who use a co-wash as a staple part of their regular wash routine.

Hero Ingredients and What They Do

Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil is rich in Vitamin E and essential fatty acids that deeply condition and soften the hair, improving texture and making curls more manageable. Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil penetrates the hair shaft to deliver intense moisture and strengthen strands from within, preventing breakage and supporting longer, healthier-looking hair growth. Together, these two star oils make this co-wash a genuinely nourishing cleansing experience rather than simply a gentler shampoo.

Glycerin acts as a powerful humectant, drawing moisture from the environment into the hair shaft to keep curls hydrated throughout the cleansing process. Behentrimonium Chloride provides excellent conditioning and detangling slip, whilst Phenyl Trimethicone adds a fine coat of shine and smoothness to the cuticle for a frizz-free finish after rinsing. Cetearyl Alcohol provides rich conditioning and improves the creamy texture of the formula, ensuring it distributes evenly through all curl types.

How to Use

Apply the co-wash generously to wet hair, working from roots to ends and massaging gently into the scalp with fingertips to loosen product build-up and debris. Distribute thoroughly through all sections of the hair, detangling as you go with a wide-toothed comb or fingers for maximum slip and ease. Leave on for 2 to 3 minutes to allow the conditioning ingredients to penetrate, then rinse thoroughly with cool water. For best results, follow with the Design Essentials Almond & Avocado Moisturising & Detangling Conditioner for a full cleanse-and-condition routine.

Who Is This Co-Wash For?

This nourishing co-wash is designed for all curl types from 2A to 4C, and is especially well-suited for those with dry, thirsty curls that lose moisture quickly or become brittle after traditional shampooing. Women of African and Caribbean heritage with natural, curly, and coily hair who co-wash regularly will find this product essential to their routine. Those with mixed-heritage or biracial curly hair who want a gentle, conditioning cleanse that maintains curl definition and moisture will also love its performance.
