My friends were talking today about how bad it is for your hair to wash it every day, yet I've always been doing that! Is this true?

Yes, it is bad to wash yiour hair everyday because overwashing hair can cause the natural oils in your scalp to be stripped and that may make your hair unhealthy and brittle

It can be bad, depends on the hair type. If you have healthy hair that has never been chemically processed, washing everyday isn't that bad. Especially if you are not blow drying and using other heat elements every day. If you have chemically treated hair and use heat on your hair every day, washing everyday can be bad. It strips the hair of its natural oils. Also if you have to blow dry after you wash, you are blow drying too often, so if you don;t wash your hair you won't have to blow dry either. The first time you try not washing your for a day or two, it may look really oily, but your hair will eventually get used to it.
If it does look oily, there are hair powders you can use to absorb some of the oils, or you can use baby powder, just use it sparingly.

If you use the right products you can wash your hair 3 times a day. So no that is not true.

I've been washing my hair every day for nearly 50 years. It's so darn oily that I have no choice in the matter.
What's good for one person, isn't for another. If you feel the need to wash your hair everyday, do so. Don't worry about what others say.
BTW, my mother used to have a fit that I was doing the above and even had me talk to her beautician about it. Told both of them to butt out, it was my hair, on my head, and it needed to be washed. I refused then as now to have oily, dirty or smelly hair.

I hear that all the time too. I still wash my hair every day. My hair gets oily especially around my face. They say you shouldn't wash your hair every day because the natural oils are good for your hair. I figure there are enough good conditioners and gentle shampoos out there that I can wash my hair everyday without damaging it.

It's not that bad but might not be necessary. When you shampoo more often than needed, you start stripping your hair of its natural oils. It depends on the type of hair you have. If it's fine and oily than you may need to was every day. If it's thick and coarse you might only need to wash every couple of days.

Yes it is bad it removes all the natural oils from your hair. it is best to wash it every other day or even every 2 if you can stand it.

It depends on what type of hair that you have. It is good for natural oils to be in your hair. So if you have oily hair, it is good to wash it every day. If you have dry hair every other day or every two days is better for your hair.

Yes, it takes the good oils out of your hair and it may cause damage or brittle & dryness. Instead of everyday, wash your hair every other day!
-- If you wash everyday, shampoo every other day and condition every day.

well it depends on the shampoo you use if you are using the wrong one for your hair then yes because its taking away the oils you need for healthy hair if you are going to wash your hair everyday then use a good shampoo (read the label and see if it says its safe for everyday use) and on top of that use a conditionor
