how many times do you NEED to wash your hair a week?

Question

some people wsh their hair everyday, people with fine hair have an exception, but isnt that bad?

Answer 1

you will read anywhere thats its not good to wash your hair everyday, those oils that your hair produces is good for it. If you wash yoru hair everyday it will become dry and flakyyyyy

i staighten my hair so i liek to keep it straight for like 2-3 days depends on if it gets oily

i would say take a shower everyday lol but shampoo and conditioner like 3-4 times a week

and do a leave in conditioner alsoooo it makes your hair so nice

Answer 2

1 or 2

Answer 3

Every time you shampoo, you strip the natural oils off your hair. If you replace them after each shampoo with a natural product of some sort, you could wash your hair as often as you want. If you just add conditioner, that's not the same thing. You need a balance between washing the dust, etc. that sticks to the hair and keeping your hair lubricated with its own oils. I would say twice a week would be optimum for the "health" of your hair.

Answer 4

I wash my hair every other day in a week. Unless i went to the gym or something like that. I guess it all depends.

Answer 5

That depends on how dirty your hair is. If it is flat and dull, or oily, dandruff-y, or just not smelling great, wash your hair.
If you have dry hair, and it looks and smells good, then you don't need to wash it every single day.

I have dry, fine hair, and I wash every other day, but condition with a nourishing conditioner.

Answer 6

It used to be bad but these days shampoo's are less harsh so its okay.....guess I'm trying! Its school holidays so im going to wash my hair ONCE a week (because my hair is so damaged from straightening it) with sunlight soap because I hear its really good for your hair because its so pure and my friend told me that she knew this woman who washed her hair 3 times a week with sunlight soap and she died with amazing soft, full, lush hair.....i want that!

Answer 7

it depends on how greasy your hair gets, or if you go swimming or to the gym or something.
i think 2/3 times a week

Answer 8

you can usually get by with 2 to 1 times a week...
everyother day is pretty ideal for most people though..

Answer 9

If you have thick hair, you sould wash it everyday. If you have thin, about every other day.
