no. I wash my hair every second day...ex. Monday morning, Thursday or Wednesday morning. Washing your hair every day takes out the natural oils in your hair. I asked a question about this. Almost every person said they wash it every day or every 2 days. Go to my profile page and check it out.
You can always buy some shower caps. That's what I do. I take a shower every day, but I don't wash my hair every day. My hair is in a cap so that I don't get it wet. And on the weekends, you can take a break of showering. Unless you go out of course. Just spray some fragrance spray, (deoderent of course and your off!)
So, it's not wierd. Washing it every day takes all of the shine and natural oils and luster out of it.
Member, check my profile page and look at the question!!

Well, I like you, have curly hair, and it also takes me an hour to an hour and a half to straighten my hair. If i'm not doing any strenuous activity I usually leave my hair straight for four or five days. Inbetween I will take a shower with a shower cap, but other than that you shouldnt wash your hair every day anyways becuase that's like cleaning something that's not dirty.

yes you need a shower everyday at your age like with all the oils and stuff me, i take a shower everyday and if you dont like your hair poofy or anything get a shower cap, my friend has the same thing, but not 13 she uses this special shampoo and conditioner, go to a hair salon or a place like brooks in hair care products and check the back of some bottles its not wierd to not take a shower everyday but for u you should well get a cap and have a good time trying my advice

It depends on what sort of shower you are talking about. It's not good to wash your hair every day, in fact it's really bad. I'm also 13, and I shower every day, and wash my hair on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. This works fine for me, but as said in previous comments, get a shower cap for the daily showers and don't straighten your hair every time you shower, but occasionally. It's good to have a variation

Not werid, but unsanitary. You might know, but there are millions of dust mites (microscopic organisms that feed on dead skin cells) on your bed...and you! Takeing showers helps remover those dust mites that feed on dead skin cells. I have frizzy, curly hair that takes hours to straighten. I just put on a shower cap and wash my hair as soon as I can deal with haveing to straighten my hari once again. I advise taking showers and just putting a shower cap on to cover your hair, you can get them at any store for cheap. By the way, I'm 13 also.

as long as you have some kind of daily washing routine it wouldnt be too bad to shower every other day... if you have a problem with sweating etc i would not recommend it tho! try going 2 days without a shower and then ask you're parents if you smell, that would be a pretty gd test im sure. and remember there is nothing stopping you washing daily with a wet flannel!

Although it is not weird not to take a shower everyday, it is necessary. However, to keep your hair straight, you need to wear a shower cap in order to prevent yourself from straightening your hair everyday.

Have your mom take you to the salon and have a Japanese straightener put on it. It's expensive but you can take your daily needed shower and still have your hair straight with no fuss.

yea...taking a bath and shaving is a good idea, you dont want to get fungus on your skin, just put your straightendhair up in a shower cap and use a dry shampoo when your out.
a dry shampoo looks like a bottle of hairspary, its hard to find though, go to a hairdresser that does extentions and ask them if they have some, or know where to get some. dry hairspray is usually used for extentions.

its bad to wash your hair everyday. Take showers every day but wear a shower cap and only wash it everyother day. It dries your hair out.
