How often do you wash your hair?

Mattehhhftw · 09/04/13 - 13:50

My hair gets greasy(ish) after one day! I know washing hair everyday is bad for the oils and stuff but it annoys me if it isn't washed! I'm trying to persevere.

Any tips to keep hair from getting greasy? I'm trying to get in the habit of washing every 2-3 days. Thanks

Couple of times a week these days, used to wash everyday but I think that was causing more problems than it was curing them.

Every day.

Try using dry shampoo in between and wash every other day. Worth a try!

every day otherwise it just looks a knotty mess and I use products so I need to wash them out.

Twice a week on a Wednesday and Sunday. My hair never looks greasy.

I'll wash it before I go out of the flat if only to avoid the "bed-head" look. If it's not looking too bad or I just can't be bothered then I might attempt to flatten it with a wet comb rather than doing a full wash.

Otherwise every couple of days even though it probably should be done every day.

I wash mine most days. Either every day or ever other day. I never leave it low longer than that.!

Every other day although it begins to feel greasy nearly 18 hours before it gets washed. I'm not sure why my hair gets greasy so quickly but it's highly annoying.

Every other day (so 4 times a week) although I now exercise everyday so I am back to washing everyday which is pants.

I'm a Wednesday and Saturday girl. The longer I leave my hair the better it looks - this has been proved many times at festivals

Every day in the shower but only using a weaker daily shampoo. On Fridays I use a specially good shampoo and conditioner.

Every other day.

This, annoyingly. And it makes the rest of me feel dirty too so I can't ignore it. I've got too much hair. Should just chop it off.

Every 2-3 days. I have long thick hair and smells seem to cling to it, so if I've been somewhere stinky then I have to wash it.

Bethaneeny · 09/04/13 - 17:22

every other day. Any longer and it looks horrific, and is plastered and matted and by the end of the day it gets itchy.

Once a year on my birthday.

mellybumps · 09/04/13 - 17:41

Every day, or if I have to miss a day for some reason I use dry shampoo on it. I hate having greasy hair!!

[Deleted User] · 09/04/13 - 21:52

Everyday as it just doesn't look right after I've slept on it!

kiviraat · 09/04/13 - 23:03

Every 2-3 days since it's curly - if I wash it more frequently it just turns into a giant static frizz-ball. Always looks better on the second day as well

Mishcoll · 09/04/13 - 23:33

5 times a week (work days)

jeffiner1892 · 09/04/13 - 23:35

Every other day. Though if it's just been cut I leave it an extra day.

My hair needs washing everyday otherwise it goes greasy, I have therefore become a huge fan of dry shampoo! Using that I can go for a good couple of day, longer if i'm wearing it curly (I have inbetween hair!) Yes it dries my hair out a bit so I always make sure it gets a really condition once or twice a fortnight and that seems to save it drying out

every other day and a spritz of dry shampoo if needed on inbetween days

I wash mine every day if I'm going to be in public. At the weekend if I'm staying in I'll often leave it. My hair is really long and very very fine, and it gets greasy very quickly. Or maybe it just shows grease very quickly because it's so fine. Dry shampoos just seem to make it look worse.

Hey there!
