    for some of you this question could probably asked by how often do you shower, since a lot of people wash their hair every time they bathe.


    I was my hair twice a month

    Once every week or two.

    Americans seem to wash it a lot though, which is not really healthy for your hair. I don't care about hair health, but women seem to... yet they still wash it way too much.

    Actually if you wash your hair every day, you're throwing off it's balance and leaving a chemical residue (you should wash it with vinegar and alcohol, or switch shampoos on a regular basis)

    depending on the kind and length of hair you have, you might be able to get away with once a month, all the way down to once every four days.

    but once a day is just damaging.

    Lice prefer clean hair. They can't get a good grasp on oily hair. :rolleyes: I wash my hair when it needs it. Being summer, I'm still trying to get into the groove of things, because I have to wash it more often because it's hot and sweat stinks. If my hair looks, feels, or smells gross, I wash it. Otherwise, I let it be. I have two feet of hair, so I have to allow time for the oils to get all of it, otherwise I'm just stripping it of nutrients day after day.

    ^^this is true.

    I wash my hair every 2 or 3 days usually, less during the winter. my hair never gets oily. people with oily hair are usually the ones who wash it too much.

    assuming everyone uses moisturizing shampoo...


    mine gets oily after a day of not washing. i'm just lazy enough to leave it oily for a couple days or more.

    Once or twice a week. I have a lot of very curly hair that I wear straight, so I can't wash it too often. Oscar Blondie makes a wonderful Dry Shampoo.

    My hair usually looks its best after 3-5 days of not washing. Before or after that it looks like ratshit.

    no, washing your hair too often changes the PH balance of your scalp. you wash away the natural oils too often and your scalp produces more oils to compensate. so if you miss your daily wash, your hair looks greasy.

    every two weeks or so.
    I used to wash every other day, until a year or two ago when i started the whole shampoo free thing.
