I wash mine daily , but I notice that it becomes more dried out when I wash everyday as opposed to washing every other day.

well .. I'm not trying to sound racist or anything.. but if you're black, you dont need to be washing your hair everyday... I'd say once a week at the most. maybe even every 2 weeks.. it may sound gross but it's true.
african american hair doesn't produce oils on it's own, that's why we use grease and moisturizer and hair lotion and all that crap.
if any other race went 3 days without washing their hair, it'd be all greasy and it'd look bad... but if we did... well it'd be dry as a bone.. it's all genetic
so yeah. when you wash your hair, MOISTURIZE and wrap or braid it to keep it hydrated
hope that helped
and if you're not black.. every other day is fine, not everyone washes their hair everyday.. it's not even recommended, but make sure you condition well.
I'm black.. i know my avatar doesn't look it.. but yeah. high yellow for ya.

I wash my hair ever to every other day also and I dont have that problem at all. I am African-American and if I used shampoo my hair would be dry and brittle also. The secret is to wash your hair with conditioner only. Condition has small amount of the same ingredient shampoo has to cleanse your hair. So it will be clean and moistured!

I wash mine every night.
If you want to wash everyday without it getting dry, use a moisturizing shampoo. I use one from TIGI's Bed Head and it works GREAT. My hair was pretty dry but after using that shampoo it's shiny and reallyyy soft.
If you're not going to get a moisturizing shampoo, wash the TOP of your hair with shampoo and condition in the other areas.

I wash every other day. Try using all natural shampoos like aubrey organics or beauty 4 ashes. The contain more natural oils and won't leave your hair dry.

I'm caucasian, but I have kinky hair. I wash it every other day, but condition it daily (with wash out conditioner) so it looks and smells fresh and I use silicone to tame my frizzies.

every 2 to 3 days.
i honestly believe that washing your hair every day does more harm than good.

i wash my hair everyday..im sorry to say, but if you wash your hair less than every two days, you have some serious hygiene issues! like, gross! once a week, once every two weeks, ONCE EVERY FREAKING MONTH!!!?? that is just disgusting, you should be washing your hair every day, or your hairy will be greasy, and all you are basically doing is embarasing ur self!
