The longest I've gone was 4 days also and if you don't wanna wash your hair but have oily hair I suggest using dry shampoo inbetween showers.

With shampoo? Two weeks or a month depending on what products I week. If I'm just co washing, I wash once a week.

The longest I've gone is probably 3-4 days. My hair is super oily but if I have my natural hair for some reason, I can go longer without washing it..weirdddd😐😐😐

A week. I'm on accutane so it doesn't get oily very fast at all anymore, it's great but also bad because I'm not getting the essential oils in my hair :/

It depends, usually if my hair is straightened I won't wash it for a good week, if I wear it natural (which I do the most) then I wash every other or every two days.

Six days. And my hair wasn't oily at all by then, but it was looking super dull. I did the same thing Janelle did; put my hair up when I showered.

If natural I'll wash either every 2 days or so but if I have it straightened I won't wash it for up to about 10 days, I'll use dry shampoo in place towards the end of the week, but otherwise my hair isn't greasy.

The longest is close to a month but that's only if I flat ironed my hair.. Otherwise I wash it every two weeks.

I can usually wash my hair once a week. I have very dry hair and scalp and washing it more than that dries it out even more.

The only exception to that is if I find myself somewhere with smoke or a situation where somehow my hair gets dirty. Those are emergency washes. 😂

A week and a half, during an archaeology dig. Didn't have access to showers in the field and our access was so limited when we did shower there wasn't enough water to wash hair.

9 days. I had spinal fusion surgery and couldn't get the bandage area wet. It was disgusting.

Probably a week or so. happened multiple times after I first had my son. I had no time to myself, still don't lol.

Almost 3 months.. LOL!
I was 8-9 years old, and my mom would be the one to wash my hair since it was still too difficult to manage.
She is very harsh with it as well. She pulls and tugs and it really hurts ( still does ).
I got so tired of it that I pretended to wash my hair on my own by getting it wet and just putting it up in a towel. Obviously she caught on. I did hate hygiene as a child though out of imaginary fear. ( I always thought Bloody Mary was waiting for me to shower to get me or a murderer was behind the curtain. I just avoided my room & bathroom if I could. )

Now I'm the biggest hygiene freak ever who lives for steaming hot showers!

I think it was 4-5 days. I use baby powder on my hair when it looks greasy and it helps a lot. My hair does get oily easily and baby powder helps lol. But yeah washing your hair to often is bad because you are stripping your hair of the natural oils it needs.

About 2 weeks. It was right after whaling season I had to help cut and I was also out boating before the ice hits. So tired that every time I got a break I just crashed out.

Since I'm on summer break ( in other words no body's going to see me) I'm trying to get my hair used to not being washed as often. I'm washing it every 4 days. Day 3 and 4 have to be in a bun though otherwise my hair looks kinda wonky.
