Is it bad or good?
I stopped shampooing altogether because it dries my hair and makes it fall out much more than if I condition only.
Conditioning also makes my hair soft and manageable, but I heard it strips natural oils. What's my best bet?
I have the same problem with more hair falling out when co-washing. Not sure why this is to be honest. I don't do it all the time either.
What type of hair do you have? I don't see how conditioner alone can strip natural oils. Something stupid I learned you can try after you co-wash, take your 2 fingers and see if your hair "squeaks" as in squeaky clean. Supposedly this also means your hair is stripped of it's natural oils as well. Not sure how accurate that is.
