I haven't heard the term co poo, but if I'm reading your post correctly- when you use just conditioner to cleanse your scalp, it's considered no poo, or co-washing (conditioner washing). Co-wash is also a noun, used to refer to conditioner used to cleanse your scalp.
If you scrub your scalp when you're in the shower, but skip the conditioner, it's called water washing.

I think I have this right. There is an entirely separate method of hair care called No Poo. This method involves washing your hair with baking soda and apple cider vinegar in place of the shampoo.
In the CG method, conditioner replaces the shampoo. Some CG people use baking soda and ACV for various things, but it is not the primary method of cleansing.

Interesting- I hadn't heard the distinction before. They're used interchangably by most around here.

I could be completely wrong. This is based on an something I overheard, but didn't get a chance to ask follow up questions on.

Co-washing - means washing your hair with conditioner only - no shampoo.
Water washing - washing your hair with only water. No shampoo or conditioner.
co-poo - as coined on the general discussion page is mixing a little conditioner in with your sulfate free shampoo to prevent it from being so drying.
3b - dry - medium texture/medium porosity!
