How often do you wash your hair?
I was wondering how often do you all wash your hair. Some girls at work say they don't wash their hair for days. I am amazed because you can't tell at all. Whenever i dont' wash my hair for even a day i feel like you can notice that i didnt wash my hair. so i wanna know how often do you wash your hair and how do you style it so it won't look like you didn't wash it? dosen't it smell when you don't wash it?

Re:How often do you wash your hair?
I wash my hair everyday. I have curly hair so if I don't wash it every morning, it looks like crap.

Re:How often do you wash your hair?
I usually wash my hair every day. It is accostumed to this, so I feel if I don't wash it, it's oily. It's also long so I think it gets dirty faster esp around my child. If I miss a washing I'll throw a scarf over it (this also protects dark, color treated hair from the sun) and/or put a very light fragrance on it. I've heard that talc powder will absorb the oil if you haven't been able to wash it.

Re:How often do you wash your hair?
Assuming that I don't sweat too much or put too many products on my hair I tend to wash it every other day. i got my hair colored at a salon once and the lady told me to try and wash my hair every two days or so since I straighten it. this way I don't have to totally restraighten it on the second day, thus causing more damage to it.
I can usually feel my hair and tell if it needs to be washed. If it doesn't I put some spray on leave in conditioner by aussie and some straightening stuff.
I waitressed for awhile and I definately had to wash it everyday - it smelt and felt horrible. i guess it just depends on what you do during the day.

Re:How often do you wash your hair?
Every 3 days. It is long, and needs natural oils, less pulling and less water on the strands. If my scalp gets a tad oily i put baby powder on my scalp, this absorbs odours (smoke) and soaks up excess oil!
Good luck,
Pamela

Re:How often do you wash your hair?
(I think a poll would have been more suitable for this topic btw)
I wash my hair once a week...I have VERY afro hair. And as most know, afro hair is actually pretty weak and needs a lot of care so natural oils are one of the best recommendations for keeping it healthy and nourished to a fair degree. This is why I don't wash it often. And also why I've given up relaxing it as it strips the hair of it's natural goodness.
Actually, I notice that the longer I leave it unwashed, the softer (not oilier) it gets.

Re:How often do you wash your hair?
I wash my hair every two days, or sometimes I even leave it for 3 if I know i'm not needing to have great looking hair that third day. I have thick/coarse/and slightly wavy long hair...if I wash it every day, it will literally fall out of my head. I usually wash it and condition it two washes in a row, then the third time I wash and deep condition it. If I leave my hair for three days because of whatever reason, too much heat styling etc, then I will just throw it in a braid or two braids and if it looks greasy, stick a hat on or a bandanna. :D

Re:How often do you wash your hair?
I wash mine everyday if I work at the club consecutively. But if not, I wash it either every 2 or three (but always take a shower with a cap on) because I had a time when my hair was CRAPPY. Now I take great care of it with great results.
Plus like Pamela said, the natural oils are the best. My hair does not get oily unless I let it go for too long. (Which I don anymore) lol

Re:How often do you wash your hair?
When I don't work, I wash every few days. If I am working, I was each day that I work and the very next day (can't stand the smell of smokey hair).
-
Re:How often do you wash your hair?
It varies. Typically I wash it every 3 days or so, or after a workout, but I try to make the two coincide. I have long hair too and sometimes use a little baby powder on my scalp.
I don't like wearing my hair natural at work, I either use a large-barrel curling iron or flatiron, and of course I'm trying to keep damage to a minimum. The third day it gets a slighty piece-y texture but more than that it's just straight up stringy.
The smoky smell isn't bad, since I work in a newer club and we have good ventialtion systems installed so it's rarely a problem anymore.

Re:How often do you wash your hair?
I wash every day, but I only like to use shampoo every other day or 2. I just put a bit of conditioner on the ends to keep them soft.

Re:How often do you wash your hair?
I try not to wash my hair everyday because my hairdresser said it is bad. I am oily on top and dry on the bottom. My scalp is weird, which is why she does scalp treatments on me. Healthy hair starts from your scalp.

Re:How often do you wash your hair?
I have the same problem as daphned. I have very long hair doen to me arse but it is color treated. I can only wash it every 2 or 3 days because it is soo dry on the bottom.
-
Re:How often do you wash your hair?
I can go for 4 or 5 days before its noticably oily. but its quite long now. useually I wash it about every other when I work, every 3-4 when I dont. mainly because its sooo long it takes about 6 hours to dry and I hate being damp. when it was short I washed it every day, well sometimes every other. except after I would dye it then I wouldnt wash it for 3-4 days and let it recover and then wait another 2 or 3 days before washing it again, then back to normal. if I put hairspray or gel in it I useually wash it that night.

I have a very similiar (if not the same) routine as VenusGoddess. I don't like the smell of smokey hair too so I will wash it before I go to work and the next day (after I awaken).
Otherwise, if I have a week or longer off... I wash every 3rd day or so

Re:How often do you wash your hair?
usually every 3 days, sometimes 4, or sometimes less. and when i do, i keep it up and out of the water till the end of the shower, because water can weaken hair. then, i only shampoo the scalp, and i condition below the nape. i time the washing so when i go to work it's clean or only a day old, never 2. that's "errand" hair.
my hair is a few inches past my waist, and the ends are the same quality as the hair an inch from my scalp, so i must be doing something right.

Re:How often do you wash your hair?
when i work 2x a day before and after.. otherwise just once a day

Re:How often do you wash your hair?

Re:How often do you wash your hair?

Re:How often do you wash your hair?
Once (maybe twice a week). It's not good for black people to wash their hair every day because our hair is more fragile and a lot of washing will strip away natural oils and cause it too break off.

Re:How often do you wash your hair?
Every other day for me.... I have very thick, long hair so I do not have to worry about it getting oily everyday. Plus I do not want to completely dry my poor hair out!!! :)
