Has anyone here tried Ouidad's Co-Wash yet?

Sadly, I've never had much success with Ouidad's line (overall the products haven't been moisturizing enough), other than the Botanical Boost Refreshing Spray. However, I've heard and seen good things about the new Moisture Lock Gel Cream (and I'm sure I'll try it one of these days), and I'm intrigued by the new Co-Wash. It claims to lather, which I guess must be a desirable characteristic in a cleanser. (Personally, I've always found "sudsy" cleansers to be drying and very difficult to rinse out of my hair.)

The ingredients list seems promising, but it's a bit pricey at $30.00 for only a 16 oz bottle, isn't it? (I know this price beats WEN, but the price is why I've yet to try WEN...)

Ingredients (from Ouidad.com):

Aqua (Water/Eau), Sodium Lauroamphoacetate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Behentrimonium Chloride, Hydroxypropyl Starch Phosphate, Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil, Nigella Sativa Seed Oil, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Oil, Salvia Officinalis (Sage) Oil, Fragrance/Parfum, Citric Acid, Hydroxyisohexyl 3-Cyclohexene Carboxaldehyde, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Limonene, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone

i haven't tried it yet, it is on it's way to my house and I can't wait to use it!

I love Ouidad products. I've been addicted to their new mongongo oil lately.

Their climate control shampoo & conditioner are great- I especially like the shampoo is sulfate free. The co-wash is now one step better!

The ingredients in Ouidad's co-wash look better than Wen to be. I used Wen in the past but it caused build up and itchiness, i think because of the siliciones. I don't see silicones in Ouidad's so this makes me so happy!!

I am very intrigued by this. Based on price I don't see it as something I would keep in my regular rotation (unless I absolutely loved it), but I would absolutely try it.

Let me know how you like it! I'm so tempted to try this, but I've been pretty happy with a co-wash from Sally's that costs around $26.00 for a 33.8 oz bottle.

If the Ouidad one is worth double the costs, I'd probably pay it at least once...but if it's just another version of a basic co-wash I'm not sure I'll go out of my way to try it.

I have yet to try a single Wen product, and I'm probably the last person on earth who can say this. The thing is, I go through a LOT of product, and 16 oz bottles are like samples for me

However...if the Ouidad is really, really good, I would want to try it because Ouidad formulates specifically for curly hair!
