    Default Not washing your hair - How ?

    I saw some girls mention they wash their hair twice a week or about. I really want to know how this is managed! I have really thin, blonde hair.. as to make it worse my face is naturally oily and my sclap gets oily after 2 days without washing. I HAVE to wash my hair every other day or it looks oily. I bought dry spray shampoo, but it did not work on. It just made my hair fuller looking.. but at the roots where the oily is held was still shown.. I tried blow drying, and putting my hair up but the roots still look oily and the rest of the looks thin and a mess So in the end I end up washing my hair every other day. So is there anything you recommend? Does it depend on the shapmoo? Or how you wash your hair to make it look cleaner within the days?

    Honestly... I used to be able to get away with washing every third/fourth day... (I'd just use a bit of product [Catwalk's Afterparty] and re-straighten or curl it and it'd look fine when I lived in a dryer climate.
    Now that I'm in California... I have to wash every other day and I can BARELY get away with that. (It's not even just the hair... my skin is ultra greasy out here too. UGH!)

    So it could have something to do with humidity/temp of the area you live in and your bodies reaction to that.

    i find that i can get away with 3 days in between hair washing, but i keep my hair dry and up in a cap while i shower, cause if it gets wet, it's going to be SUPER oily. i too have a pretty oily scalp.

    It just takes getting used to I think. My hair looks like crap at least 2 days a week LOL. But I dont care cause it looks damn good the rest of the time. The price of beauty. Hats and ponytails girl! But mine is platinum so I dont think it looks as greasy as it did when I was dark blonde.

    I have bangs that touch my face, and I get really oily so I just wash my bangs every day and wash the rest of my hair about once a week. I find it looks a lot better if I don't wash it as often but I cannot stand greasy hair touching my face so it works well.

    You see this a lot with black girls, it's actually BAD for us to wash our hair too much so i wash it like once a week but condition it ever single day, sometimes puting leave in conditioner in up to 4 times a day. Stupid dry dry hair. That's why I don't wash mine more than once a week, it strips it completely of all moisture.

    I've heard this too and was unable to do it at first bc the second day, my hair would look an oily mess. I read somewhere before that your hair produces so much oil bc it needs to if you wash it every day. Those girls that wash it less often can do it bc their hair is used to it. My advice is to wash every two days until your hair gets used to it and then try a longer period of time. Baby powder is supposed to be good for absorbing excess oil and it blends in pretty well. The only downside is that your hair may be a little dull looking where the baby powder is. I personally use makeup powder if I need to bc it matches my blonde pretty well.

    Also, if you do have to wash it more frequently than you would like, then just use a quarter size amount of shampoo and only to the root area to get rid of the oil.

    I have to wash mine every other day otherwise the roots go all oily. I use Alberto Balsam Naturals most of the time, it's light and smells gorgeous. The one drawback with long hair is you can't just do the roots....everything gets wet!

    Has anyone tried "washing" their hair with dry shampoo. It was big in the 70's-80's. Now it's back. I think you can get it at Sephora.....

    Years ago I used to use a spray-on thing from Harmony (remember them?) - it wasn't very good.....more like spraying talcum powder on your hair - and it didn't get rid of the greasy bits either...it just went all skanky and you had to wash it all out anyway!

    i do the same thing. i dye my hair and its a pretty light blonde and it definitely doesn't get as greasy as fast as when i had virgin hair...but even then i could go at least 3 days. my hair dries out and gets frizzy if i was it too much. and more often than not my hair looks much better the 2nd day. i wear a beanie, headbands or a side-bun when it's greasy or i don't feel like flat-ironing it.

    my hair AND skin are naturally really dry no matter how much water i drink or olive oil/healthy fats i try to add to my diet so I literally only shower twice a week.... not to gross anyone out haha. i just don't get oily or stinky or anything. if i shower every day my skin will get so dry that it will crack and bleed :/ so i think it depends on your body....

    but if i just plain don't have time to wash my hair i will either use the tresemee dry shampoo spray (got it at walmart, it works pretty good for me) or sprinkle a little baby powder in my hair and brush it through. it helps absorb the oil.

    For me, I could not go more than 2 days without washing my natural hair. When I have extensions I can go a little longer. I think my hair looks shitty if I don't wash it everyday. Some hair just can't go without washing. I have naturally dark dark brown so that could make a difference (v.s. blonde). I've also heard of lots of girls not washing but I think it only applies to certain hair types, I don't know...

    Tresemme has a line called "fresh start", it is great to prolong the style while not needing to wash. The longest I can go is 3 days now since I have keratin treatment since my hair gets more oily, before I used to get weekly blowouts and go without washing for 7 days.
