Hair - Should I wash it tonight? Normally Wash it every night...?

Question

I normally wash my hair every day is this really bad? I am a teenager so I expect it to be greasier than most peoples. nly thing is, tonight it is looking ok, I just don't want to wake up tomorrow and it to be really greasy, because I won't have time in the morning to do it. Should I wsh it anyway will it really harm it that much? I NEVER blow dry my hair. And what can I do if I don't wash it and I wake up and it's greasy, and what can O do in the future to make me NOT have to wash it every day???

Answer 1

No harm in washing it daily if you are using a gentle shampoo. It will get better as you get old thouhg - thats some consolation :)

Answer 2

Hi, why not wash it tonight, and then Friday night (if you're not going out early Saturday morning) leave it unwashed. Then if it is greasy you will have time to wash it.

If it is greasy every day, try different shampoos. Maybe the one you are using is too strong and is stripping your hair of it's nutrients which means that your hair follicles work harder at replenishing the natural oils in your hair.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. These things seem to change every few years. So it maybe that you're going through a greasy stage now, but then in awhile it'll not be so bad.

Answer 3

I have greasy hair and have been told by loads of hairdressers that you should not wash your hair every day because it strips all the good stuff out of your hair.

If you wash every other day in a few weeks your hair will be less greasy. I can now go three days with out having to wash my hair.

Answer 4

When washing your hair you are really cleansing your scalp,so would you not wash the rest of your body everyday?
It`s absolutely fine to shampoo every day providing you`re using a decent shampoo & conditioner & are conditioning well. The act of shamppoing is to remove excess sebum ( grease) from your scalp & hair ,if left can cause your skin to be over greasy.Providing you dont have the water too hot or over stimulate the pores when shampooing you wont secrete any more grease than normal.So i hope this helps you,after all who looks at someone with smelly greasy hair?

Answer 5

Stop, Stop, Stop !
Washing Your Hair Every Day Takes Out The Natural Oils.
If You *Have* To Wash It Every Night, Go Ahead - It's Your Decision, But I Suggest Wash It Every Other Night To Keep It Shiny & Healthy.

well shampoo just dries out your hair which is why its not very good but if you always have greasy hair then its no big deal. Just wash it and use conditioner, or not wash it and in the morning if its greasy just put it in a pony tail or take a towel and scrub your head and then brush it back down and avoid touching your hair.

Answer 7

I really don't recommend for you to wash your hair everyday, it's really bad for it
If you wake up in the morning and you have greasy hair try to pour out some baby powder on your hands and then rub your hands on your hair, after that comb your hair as usual. The baby powder will remove some of the grease of your hair.

Answer 8

i usually wash my hair twice, but if its not looking greasy then i just wash once. i try not to wash it everyday but sometimes its necessary. just give it a small wash.
and i dont use "normal" shampoo, i use linco beer shampoo. you dont need conditioner with it. my hair has been so great since i stared usin it

Answer 9

Washing naturals out of your hair and putting chemicals in it.
Does it no good at all.Try washing it with a natural moisturiser
and don't rinse it all out.But not every day.
