yeah because shampooing everyday strips the hair of it's natural oils to keep it soft and shiny. if you shampoo every other day. it's better for you hair.

I have REALLY curly red hair and if I wash it every day it gets dry and frizzy like you would not believe!!
If I take a bath with Bubble Bath I don't wash it with shampoo either because the soap in the bubble bath is enough to get the dirt out.
Using too much detergent on your hair strips away the natural oils that your scalp produces to keep the hair lubricated.
There is no real way to "Repair" bad hair because it is just dead protein that your hair follicles extrude.
How frequently you wash your hair also depends on what climate you live in. Oh, and what/how much hair products you use.
If you use a TON of product then you might need to wash it every day just to get all the crap off your head so you can sleep at night. But the less you use the less often you really need to strip it all away.
Climate wise, I actually had to wash my hair MORE in Chicago then I did in Phoenix because the humidity and the heat of Chicago made me produce more oils and sweat then the dry heat caused me to.
If I "Over do it" then I need to take vitamin E oil or even a little Vaseline to calm the frizzes!
I need to use LOTS of moisturizer to keep my hair from going insane!
I use conditioner as hair gel I am so much in need of moisture!
I need such special products that I end up mixing 5 products to create a personalized product that ONLY works for me! LOL!
So go ahead and wash every day if you want to but your hair will be smoother and less frizzy if you wash it every other day or even every 2 days.
As long as you “Hose down” every day and get the main “Gunk” out of your hair that is all that matter…
Also, if you use Conditioner EVERY DAY the dirt and any nasty stuff that snuck in will be rinsed away when you rinse out the conditioner!!
Good luck!

The reason your not supposed to shampoo your hair everyday is that your washing out the natural oils in your hair that is the best moisturizer for your hair. shampoo your hair 3 times a week or every other day. if you want to wash your hair everyday skip the shampoo and just condition.

Washing hair everyday is hard on the hair.
The last I heard was wash once a week unless you work in a really dirty environment-then twice a week.
If you are concerned about head lice,they love really clean hair,but loath slightly dirty hair.

I have been told by hairdressers that it is not good to wash your hair every day. Most say every second or third day. It is becasue the shampoo strips your hair of it's natural oils. I wash my hair every day but I also condition every day and I also use a daily leave-in moisturiser. My hair seems okay. When I straighten my hair people actually say it looks healthy.

It's best not to wash your hair daily, as it strips the hair of natural oils. Rinsing the hair is a waste of time. Your hair will feel icky if you just rinse it & dry it.

Washing hair everyday causes hair to dry up. When you shampoo it strips the natural oils of your hair.

It is bad for yout hair to wash it everyday, it gets all dry. Rinsing may cause for split ends. best thing to do is wash your hair, when it starts feeling greassy for you or when it makes you uncomfortable. If you have been washing your hair everyday for a long time, it may have become accostummed to it and you will have to slowly start a new washing patron.

I never knew that. I just wash my hair every 2 days. (monday, wednesday, friday, sun) I think if you wash it everyday, you will start to loose hair, as your hair isnt having a small break from the shampoo and conditioner.

It depends on your hair type and your skin type. if you have oily skin and hair than you must wash it every day, if you have normal skin and wavy to straight hair than 2 times a week, if you have curly or mixed hair 1 week. if you have very dry hair and skin 1 week and use a hot oil treatment like olive oil, and shampoo and use a thick conditioner, i use a conditioner for African American hair and i am Hispanic...good luck and God Bless you Your sister in Christ
