Wash your hair as frequently as you think its necessary. Most people only do it 2-3 times a week. Definitely no less than once every week..Washing it everyday strips the hair from its natural oils; leading to dry, and frizzy hair. If you do choose to wash it everyday, make sure you use conditioners, and hair moisturizer.

Is not bad wash it every day. That's just a myth. Like zyyad l. says wash it as you think you may need it. If you wash it every day use a good shampoo and keep it moisturized to prevent dryness and frizz. a dermatologist told me that there's no excuses to NOT wash the hair. And I think is bad not to wash it every day or every other day because there's dirt, smog, and dead cells from scalp that needs to wash out. Since I remember I've been washing my hair every day and is perfectly healthy. Just keep a close eye on what it needs.

I personally wash my hair everyday or let my hair rest 1-2 times a week just because I shower with super hot water so when I don't wash it.. It looks oily and dirty.

As it was said - everytime you feel it needs to be washed. I was mine 3 times a week:-)

I do it when it feels dirty, like every other or two days.

What Ana said, anytime it feels gross and dirty is when I wash it.

Depends on you. I wash mine every 3 or 4 days, but I have gone only once a week several times.

I wash mine pretty much every day, or at least every other day. I went from living in a super dry area to a very humid area that made my hair and skin turn crazy oily. I've been washing it close to every day my whole life, and I have pretty darn healthy hair.

I have to wash my hair daily, because I'm oily;p I use sulfate free shampoo and conditioner since I have to wash so much, and what a difference! Do what's best for your needs, and if you don't have to-skip it! I'm so jealous when my friends can style their hair and keep it for days!;D.

Erica I did the same! I wash everyday and switched to sulfate free!! now I love how my hair feels...

When you mean wash do you mean excluding shampooing or get your hair wet and not condition it.

When I say wash, I mean shampoo and condition. I will never ever get my hair wet and not shampoo it. it only makes my hair completely unmanageable.

I wash mine once a fortnight! It doesn't get greasy at all, I condition twice a week

Since I have an oilier scalp, I was it every other day. It depends on your scalp.

I wash it about twice a week and it doesn't get greasy anymore. I shower everyday and just put in a bun then put on a crazy stylish shower cap. washing everyday will make it so your hair over produces oil so it will get dirty quicker. it's best to train it to not produce as much oil and it will be healthier in the long run. I use to wash it daily and when I stopped my hair started to grow like crazy and I got my natural wave back.

It really all depends on your hair type.
My hair gets oily after about four days without washing, but I can hide it well because I wear clip in extensions. I wash my hair every week. I can't go much longer than that because I have a dry scalp and I often get dandruff.
I know a girl who gets her hair done professionally (wash, blowdry, flat iron) every three weeks. It's sounds gross, but her hair doesn't get oily in between and it doesn't stink.
I know another girl who doesn't use shampoo at all. She uses a technique called "co-washing" which is washing your hair with conditioner. Her hair is beautiful.

Antonia, how does with tech work "co-washing"?
And really 3 weeks? My hair starts smelling like food on the 3rd day)))))))
Dec 19, 2013
Antonia S.
Diana, you keep your same exact hair routine you just throw out your shampoo. You only buy conditioner, NEVER shampoo!
And yes! She really goes three weeks! And I agree, my hair starts to smell if I don't wash it frequently I have no idea how this chick pulls it off!
