Hahha great post. My hair is straight and skipping one day of washing, it shows. Nevertheless, I wash Fri, Sat, Sun (every day) and then none M-Thu (cause I hardly leave the house).
I am surprised my hair isn't healthier, because I wash it so infrequently. Alas...
Haha ... my hair has a day and a half shelf life. It looks fine when I wake up the second day, but my mid-afternoon, I wish I'd washed it!
My tricks when I haven't washed my hair in awhile: dry shampoo on the roots or pin my bangs back and throw in a ponytail.
I wash my hair every other day but condition daily as it is curly and it's the only way I can untangle it!
I have to wash mine every day when I live in humidity because it gets gross and dirty first thing in the morning if it wasn't washed the night before. I probably don't when I'm out of humidity but I don't think about it that way...
Little secret Bee's: Baby Powder!
Yes it really works. I have fine hair, which nobody knows because I love teasing and hairspray! And I still only wash it every 3 to 4 days. Another thing you can do to hide the greasy looking.......ness? is teasing or headbands. Forever21 has very cute ones on clearance all the time for $1!
I have to wash mine daily. My hair is poker straight and very thin (baby fine, actually). If I don't wash it everyday, it's a big greasy mess.
I wash mine usually 5 days a week....skipping a wash every couple of days.
My hair is super thick, wavy and fine....and extremely prone to frizzies....sigh...
LOL. I won't say how often I shower b/c I don't know if any of my coworkers read this and I don't work from home. :) I do wash my hair probably every other day though!
Mine would get SO dry if I washed it every day. Plus I straighten it after almost every time I wash it, so it has to last a little while! I average every other day, but sometimes stretch one extra day out of it, ponytail style :)
Mr. T laughs so hard at me when he sees me wearing my shower cap :) But I have an adorable pink one from Benefit and I love it.
I wash it every day. I have fine hair so if I skip washing it for a day it just kind of hangs there lifelessly. When it was longer I could get away with skipping a day every once in a while and do a pony tail but now that it's pretty short, I think I'm a daily shampoo slave for life.
Everyday is a must! Any time I have tried to skip a day my hair is so greasy it looks wet in some places by afternoon! So so gross.
Ms Bunny, my hair is the same as yours--it can last about a day and a half before it starts looking really tragic. I have fairly fine hair so it really does need to be washed pretty much every day. Occasionally, I can get away with blowing it out on Day 1 and then putting it in a pony tail on Day 2. I'd say I wash it 9 out of 10 days, although I shower everyday (after I workout).
I have this fine, thin hair that looks greasy the day after washing but I'll try and conceal it by throwing it up in a pony, wearing a headband, some dry shampoo etc. or else I would be washing my hair daily and my hair would be non-existant (cause then I blowdry, and straighted after every shower!)
I have heard of the baby powder trick and I have to say I HATE it. I have quite dark hair so when I throw it on my roots my hair looks so 'BLAH!' it doesnt blend well in my hair which is why I have a dry shampoo which is a dark color to blend well in your hair. I also dont like the smell of baby powder....ew
Every 2-3 days. I have very dry, curly hair, so I can get away with not washing it for a few days.
Fun post!
I only wash mine 2-3 times a week but I condition every day. I've hugely thick naturally curly hair that dries out really easy - if I wash it more often it breaks like crazy.
I wash mine whenever I shower. In the winter, it's usually every other day. But now that summer is here (and no air conditioning) it's every day.
I wash my hair every other day but I do a deep condition once a week, and condition it everytime I wash. Not only do I have curly hair but I've colored it, so it really needs the moisture.
use baby powder on roots to cover a little greasiness to get another day out of the hairstyle. I can't wash my hair too much as it dries my scalp out and my hair so i go as long as possible 4 days.
i had to laugh when i read mrsbee's post. i'm on the same boat so every two days for me too.
I have fine hair, but a LOT of it.
I wash my hair every 2-3 days, but mostly out of laziness! My office is filled with middle-aged men, they don't care how I look. so neither do I! I kind of wish I had an excuse to make myself look nicer, but oh well. No shower = more time.
I'm sure my hair is thanking me for this, anyways ;)
I wash mine everyother day - its super dry so I could wash it less but I usually just do it anyway.
twice a week? Sadly...that's about my shower rate these days too...and we haven't even had the baby yet!
Call me OCD but I definetly shower and wash my hair everyday. Lot's of times I shower twice a day (only wash my hair once) because I workout in the morning and I am a sweaty mess and then in the afternoon again after I have taken my babies (doggies) on a 5 mile trail run and having dust and dirt all over you isn't particulary attractive or clean. I don't want to get into my bed being dirty, I would have to wash my sheets if that were the case. Unfortunely I am a "sweater" if that is even a word and I have fine hair so I will have an oil slick on my head if I don't wash.
I shower everyday sometimes twice a day but wash my hair maybe once or twice a week just because it's so long and I put curlers in :)
I wash my hair every 2-4 days. The day I wash it it's kind of dry (even though I use leave-in and rinse-out conditioner), then the next day it's nice and silky, which lasts for a day or two more before it starts getting greasy.
I shower every day and wash my hair every two days. I have thin hair with medium density and it's just past the shoulders. I try to deep condition once a week since I also color my hair and blowdry my hair to give it volume.
I'm like @MrsBee
Every time I take a shower. (every 2 days)
But recently its been more frequent cuz of the heat. I cant seem to take a shower and not wash my hair. Mental blockage I guess. LOL
I wash mine pretty much every day. It gets oily pretty quickly, plus I work out pretty often and I sweat A LOT so it's got to be washed after that.
Funny timing. My FH and I are in the middle of an experiment/"which one of us is right" session. He insists that girls wash their hair too much, and that if we just left it alone for a few days (no ironing, hairspray, etc.) we would have beautiful hair. So, from Thursday-Sunday, I'm not washing or doing anything to style it. I can rinse it and brush it. We'll see if he still wants to marry me come Sunday!
I have crazy hair...it's wavy and frizzy and there's a lot of it, but it gets greasy if I don't wash it every day. I can only skip a day when I straighten it (I'm guessing that's because I use less product).
I have thick, wavy/curly and dry hair so I only wash it every 4-5 days. If I straighten it, I think it actually gets better if I don't wash it for a few days. For some reason, I am always late to work everytime I have to wash my hair in the morning so I try not to!
with my lovely textured hair [yay mixed hair] can easily go a week between washings. i can wash it more i guess but then i'd have to straighten it. and i'm too lazy to do that more than once a week.
To the girls with fine hair who say they must wash every day or it gets too greasy - this is a catch-22 because if you wash your hair less (and tolerate the 2 weeks or so when you feel disgusting before you get used to it) then your hair won't be so greasy and it will even look better when you do wash it.
I did this with my fine hair, forced myself to wash every other day even though I hated how I looked and thought it was greasy... after a few weeks it radically improved the quality of my hair, and the way my hair looked on days "off" was not nearly as bad as it was in the beginning, in fact it looked just fine - I always wear a ponytail on off days though.

I wash my hair about 3 times a week, sometimes less. My hair is very thick and slightly wavy, a litte course--lots of texture.
What about you?Attachments
