i think the best way to wash your hair is every other day in the shower with your head upside down so the oils go down the strands from the scalp instead of into your scalp!

It depends on the condition of your hair. Basic guidelines are to wash your hair a few times a week for dry hair, and every day or every other day for oily hair. If you do choose to wash your hair daily, make sure that you are using a pH-balanced shampoo and only wash it once. If you wash it more than once a day, you will be removing too much of the natural oil found in hair. So, if you want your hair to keep some of its natural oil longer(which is easier to work with), then a couple of times a week.

Washing it too much will make it dry. You will be washing out the natural oils. My hairdresser recommended I wash my hair every 2nd or 3rd day which I now do. You should also find a good hairdresser who will help you with ideas on how to care for your thick hair.

Legnth and thickness don't necessarily determine how often you should wash your hair. How often you wash your hair depends on how oily it is. If your hair is really dry, then washing it everyday can dry it out even more and make it appear frizzy. (Trust me on that one. My hair is super thick, but dry and coarse. Washing it everyday would definitely not be a good idea.) If your hair is on the oily side, then it would be a good idea to wash it daily.

Hair washing depends all on you.
If you use products in your hair everyday, and dont like the build up, wash it.
If you dont using products, and can go for days without washing your hair, then do that.
I usually wash my hair about once a week, and its perfectly healthy, shiny and managable. I find its easiest to work with one or two days after I wash it.
Its all about experimenting to find out what works for you.

I used to wash my hair every day, but now I can't. I lose too much hair, even if I don't wash it in the shower. The doctor said I shouldn't wash my hair every day.
That sucked...

My sister has the same type of hair. She washes her hair every other day. Sometimes she can go 2 days... It's actually better for your hair. No heat from the hairdryer, no stripping from shampoo.

everyother day, so your hair wont be so dry and fall out, b/c if you over wash you hair its not good for it. the oils in your hair help you hair growing, and if you keep washing it then your hair will tend to fall out.

If you wash every day, dont use conditioner every day (unless its a lightweight spray). Wash it every other day tops. It can dry it out too quickly to wash it every day and it isnt needed, unless you roll around in the mud!
