For example, have you heard washing your hair too often is bad for your hair?

No it's not bad to shower every day.
The only thing you might notice is dry hair and skin, this is from using soap, but can be corrected with mosturizers, lotions and conditioners.

Some believe that taking a shower and washing your hair daily is not very good because it robs the skin of it's natural moisterizers.
Additionally, causes extreme dryness and itchy feelings.
In some countries it is common that people don't wash on a daily basis-believe it or not it is said that regular showering wasn't practiced until started by the ancient Eygptians.
Many times it is not the water that is causing the dryness, but the cleansing products used. Some people cleanse themselves through other methods than soap and water.
As for the hair: If you are of African American/Black hertiage or have a simular hair type it is not necessary for you to wash your hair daily (some do this daily, once a week, twice a week, every two weeks, some monthly, and in some cases every two months). Those of European nature are said to need to wash there hair daily to prevent lice and oily build up. Regardless the ethnicity-it is a wide practice that all cultures wash there hair even dreads as a part of hygiene. How often really-depends on the person.

No, not bad for your health at all!! It can dry out your skin but that is not a health concern, and nothing a little lotion can't fix!
Washing your hair is the same thing....not bad for your health but can dry it out. I have naturally curly hair and I try to only wash my hair every other day to help with dryness and frizzyness. I couldn't go a day without a shower though!

Sorry to dissapoint you but no, I can't think of one single viable excuse why you shouldn't wash every part of you every day.
