I wash mine everyday as the hair style I have means it needs daily blow drying other wise it looks crap. I really don't like doing this much as hair really shouldnt be washed that often.

Not if your using quality shampoos and conditioners. I'm currently studying to be a cosmetologist and I have 1 more month left I would definitely recommended you invest in REDKEN shampoos and conditioners it keeps your natural hair balance which is 4.5-5.5. With REDKEN shampoos you could wash you hair 7 times a day and it won't disturbed your hairs potential hydrogen your hair will NOT be too dried out of too oily. a lot of the Walmart brand shampoos and conditioners contain too much alkaline which can blow open your hair cuticle or they're too acidic which will cause the hair to contract so that's why a lot of people say its bad but its really not when your use the right products hun :) hope I helped

I wash my hair once a week... Maybe two if I mess with it a lot. But I have long, wavy/curly hair and I am moderately dry.

Nope! The theory of your hair being damaged if you wash it every day is wrong. What your hair needs most is water. Thats what keeps it healthy. It is a better idea to wash it every other day , but no longer than that! Plus after 2 days your hair starts to feel yucky! And can cause breakouts by your hairline.

I was washing it ever 2 days, but my hair began becoming dryer so now it's 3-4 days. Now my cousin has me just rinsing my hair and no shampoo for 30 days...it was incredibly greasy and gross for about the first week and half but now it's amazingly soft and I swear healthier and growing better!!

I wash my hair every two days. First day styled w/ heat, the second day, it's up. I don't suggest washing your hair everyday though.
