Girls with long hair past your shoulders... How often do you wash your hair?

Question

I don't wash mine every day. No way.. just curious how often others do.

Mine gets washed about every 3 days. It's thick and dry. The first day I wash it .. it usually looks dry and frizzy. Even with several high end leave in conditioners. Looks best the second day. If I go four days.. it needs to be washed.

Answer 1

My hair is pretty thick and medium to almost coarse texture, and I was it maybe twice a week. I only brush it a couple of times a week, too, unless I am wearing it down. I sometimes get oily roots, but the ends are still clean and dry, so I want to try some dry shampoo powder stuff... I think Bumble and Bumble makes some that is color matched so it won't show up on dark hair! Then you can go even longer between washes!

Answer 2

I wash mine every other day so it won't become dry but it depends.. if you're into sports or often get sweaty you should wash everyday just be sure to condition it well and get a hot oil every 2 or 3 weeks

Answer 3

Every two to three days. Of course, that all really depends on when I have time since I have a nine-month-old that I have to do something with! :P Oh well. Truthfully, though, I think that it is best to not wash it every day unless you have a specific problem that need to be addressed (i.e. dandruff, oily-ness, etc.) Although, I do understand wanting your body to be clean, so I will sometimes put my hair up in a shower cap and just wash the rest of me if I am not ready to wash my hair yet. Hope this helps fulfill your curiosity! :)

Answer 4

In the winter I wash my hair once a week then in the summer every other day. It gets so hot here in the late spring until early fall that I have to keep it piled on top of my head but it's still uncomfortable enough to wash it just to cool off.

Answer 5

I wash mine about every 3 days like you.

Answer 7

I wash my hair everyday because it will become greasy due to the humidity in Orange County. I wish I could just wash my hair every other day, but I won't be able to sleep comfortably without washing my hair.

Answer 8

I usually wash mine everyday, just because it makes me feel fresh throughout the day.. but depending on a persons skin type.. oily, dry, normal.. or using a dry shampoo works too..

Answer 9

I wash my hair every other day. Washing it this way keeps the scalp moisturized with its natural oils and your hair will not dry out as easily.

Answer 10

i wash my hair about once a week because its naturally curly and i straighten it , and it takes too much time to do it everyday or every other , but I'd say only wash ur her every 2 or 3 days cause its not good to wash ur hair every day
