is it worse to straighten your hair once a week or to not shampoo your hair as often as you should (i do it about once a week)?
by the way, my hair does not get dandruff-y or oily if i don't wash it for too long. i just need to know whether it's bad or unhealthy to not wash my hair

by straightening, i mean with a flat iron.
also, my hair is extremely healthy and, for some reason, doesn't look or get damaged at all when i straighten it (my hairdresser has told me this)

Washing your hair reduces the chances of getting lice.

It is actually bad for your hair to wash it too often. The oils your body produces are good for your hair, but it just looks bad if you let it get too oily. Straightening your hair isn't great for it at all, but if you use product that are basically like oils that replace your natural oils, it isn't tooooo bad.

It's good to not wash your hair everyday. The natural oil conditions the hair. Make sure you brush it regularly with a soft bristled brush to work the oils to the ends of the hair. It should help your hair look less damaged and grow longer.

Wish I could do that. If I don't wash my hair daily it gets tangly. And wahing your hair weekly does not increase your risk of getting lice. Lice actually prefer clean hair. I worked at a daycare, and a girl got lice and her hair was washed every day at home.

You're not supposed to wash your hair every day. And I think someone said it makes you get less lice? You actually get more if you have them because they like clean places to nest. You should probably wash your hair every other day.

I am no pro.
But I would think that the heat is bad for any type of hair.
Wait, do you use chemicals or heat to straighten your hair?

Believe it or not, if you can go weekly, you are giving your hair a treat.
