We're constantly on the look out for products that do more than the task at hand, and while we'd thoroughly enjoy more time in the tub to lather, rinse, and actually repeat, co-wash treatments help us shorten our cleanse on a time-crunch. Browse through our list of 2-in-1 shampoos to wash, cleanse, and condition quickly and efficiently.
A misconception of co-wash products is that they'll leave hair oily, but SheaMoisture's 2-in-1 shampoo ensures the opposite. Made sweet for thick, curly strands with organic shea butter, coconut oil, and hibiscus, the double-duty wash heals a damaged scalp and strands with a silky soft finish you won't be shy to touch.
A heavier formula that provides a rich cleanse, R+Co's detoxifying gel shampoo is looking to be a solid go-to during warm weather months. Able to de-gunk hair polluted by an abundance of styling products, chlorine, and hard water, the formula includes rosemary leaf extract, tea tree and coconut oils to wash and condition hair in one shot.

Drybar Double Standard Cleansing + Conditioning Foam
Drybar's fluffy foam duo-cleaner was this editor's first taste of a co-wash, and, quite frankly, she has no complaints. While we don't recommend substituting the Double Standard Cleansing + Conditioning foam for your everyday shampoo, the whipped gel formula can be incorporated as a detoxifying treat for strands once every few washes. Made with volcanic ash to soak up residue from styling products, raspberry seed oil to hydrate the hair and scalp, and honey extract to lock in that moisture, one dollop worked from roots to ends will result in healthy, angel-soft hair.
