How many times a week should you wash your hair?

How many times a week do you wash your hair? How much is too much and too little? I have gotten snarky comments when people find out I only wash my hair 2 sometimes 3 times a week, I don't have oily hair and probably could go a whole week without washing it. I'm trying to grow out my hair and I know I need to have it in tip top shape for it to grow so any help with that/this would be much appreciated!!

I usually wash mine 3-4 times a week. It just really depends for me because sometimes my hair feels really oily & I just wanna wash it.

I'm the same way I can go a really long time without it getting oily haha but my hair gets so messy and tangled because it's so curly that I normally wash it every night just because I feel like it needs to be conditioned lol but when I straighten it I normally don't wash it for 3 or sometimes 4 days lol I use dry shampoo with it sometimes even though it doesn't get oily

My hair easily gets greasy so I have to wash it every day unless I do it curly because the way I curl my hair makes the greasiness less noticeable.

I wash my hair about 1 time every week. My hair doesn't really get too dirty so I'm fine with a cowash once a week and then a full blown wash day on Sundays.

2 times a week for me as well :) my hair doesn't get oily for at least a week and is pretty dry so I try to avoid stripping too much natural oil.

I wash it every other day or every other 3 days it's makes it so your hair isn't greasy and gross but you never dry out your hair.

I wash mine 2-3 times a week as well and forget all those haters who say stuff about it - it's your hair so do with it what you wish! I say you should wash it as many or as little times as you want! I have gone thru phases where I washed it once a week too - honestly as long as it still looks good who cares how many times you wash it!? Sure they say you should not wash more than every other day - but if you feel the need to wash it more then go ahead it's your hair! Or the need to wash it less I think is better for your hair anyways because washing it usually just dries it out and damages it anyways so I say less washing is better :)

There is no should as everyone's hair is different. I have 3c/4a high porosity hair, so it's thirsty almost all the time.

I wash my hair once a week (if that) with shampoo only twice a month. I mostly Cowash and deep condition, and I rarely ever have product buildup anymore as I've figured out what works for my hair so I never really need to use anything to get out buildup.

I wash mine 4-6 times a week. I have really greasy hair but it's never been a bad texture and my salon always comments on how good my hair is. As long as your hair isn't greasy you can wash it as much as you like.

I wash my hair usually on Sunday nights before school :) so only once a week. And I never use any dry shampoo. But it all depends on your hair!m.

Teen vogue actually posted an article called what really happens if you wash your hair once a a week. There's nothing wrong with once a week

I actually wash my hair every week, but when I was getting my hair relaxed I only washed it every two weeks. my hair would grow like wild flowers. I am natural now and need to retain moisture so I have to wash more frequently but two to three times a week is too much for me personally. I think it is whatever works for you and your hair
