I try to go a day and skip a day but by the middle of the next day it gets disgusting. After I shower, when I brush my hair I lose so much hair too....is this bad?

The normal cycle of hair growth lasts for 2 to 6 years. Each hair grows approximately 1 centimeter (less than half an inch) per month during this phase. About 90 percent of the hair on your scalp is growing at any one time. About 10 percent of the hair on your scalp, at any one time, is in a resting phase. After 2 to 3 months, the resting hair falls out and new hair starts to grow in its place.
It is normal to shed some hair each day as part of this cycle. However, some people may experience excessive (more than normal) hair loss. Hair loss of this type can affect men, women and children. See this site:http://familydoctor.org/081.xml
I dont think that washing your hair everday is bad for your hair if your hair has enough oil.
Good Luck!

I have heard that washing your hair everyday is bad. However, I have really thick hair and my scalp gets oily (like you said) in the middle of the day if I dont wash it. I think that is only true for some people. The average woman loses about 40 hairs a day (from what I heard on one of those morning shows) and I am sure I lose every bit of 50 a day, but my hair is still very thick. My mom is 45 and washes her hair daily and it is still thicker than mine. Dont worry about it, just wash your hair as much as you need.

You cannot damage hair, hair is dead.
If you wash your hair every day though, you are not allowing the oils to remain on your scalp or saturate your hair.
I suggest trying to wash it every other day - and never brush your hair wet! Comb it or use a pick instead.
You could also try, after your hair is dry, brushing it with a boar's bristle (or other natural bristle) brush - it spreads the oils better than plastic.
Make sure to use a shampoo that doesn't strip your hair of oil - most shampoos for color-treated hair are good for that (as are ones intended for "African-type" hair)
I brush my hair every day too, because I have a lot of oil production at my scalp.

No. Washing it won't make you go bald. However make sure you're not drying your hair out too much. Buy a good conditioner that makes your hair nice and soft. It will be easier to brush out. You can also buy leave in conditioners. I put some on my hair after i towel dry it, then use a wide toothed comb to brush. This way I don't pull out half my hair every time I brush it.

From what I've heard, skipping one day of washing your hair is a good idea. The oils that are on your hair are essential for maintaining healthy hair. Let Sunday be your day of no washing that way you will be ready to wash it on Monday and start your week out well.

i wash my hair every 2-3 days. i have the thickest head of hair you can imagine! i cant get a brush through it half the time! i loose like a pound of hair each time i wash and it grows right back. try using your condition only on the tips of your hair rather the top of your head, this will give you an extra day of not looking greasy!

You won't go bald but its not good for your hair especially if you have dry hair or hair that has been chemically processed. And even worse if you use a highly alkaline shampoo like baby shampoo (which is only gentle on the eyes NOT the hair) or a clarifying shampo

everyday is fine, just not 3 times a day. and don't be too rough when scrubbing your hair. read the instruction on the shampoo it tells you exactly how to use it which some people don't even know (for e.g. how you're supposed to apply the shampoo first THEN let it rest on your head for 5 min while you are washing your body THEN washing your hair)

You need the oil for healthy hair so wash your hair with shampoo every other day, the chemicals used in shampoo for cleaning is what eats away at your hair. thats what conditioner is for.
every other day shampoo and conditioner.
every other day just rinse with water (conditioner optional)
works great, and don't forget to change shampoo every month either.
