Question for you if you don't wash your hair every day

[MrsJackRackham]

I'm trying to get out of the habit of washing my hair every day, can't be good for the oils etc. But how in earth do you get your hair to sit?? I've shortish hair, about chin length and when I wake up it looks as if I've been styled by Vidal Baboon. It's sticking up every way possible!! Should I just wet it? Add more mousse? Please help

I run a comb under the tap then over my hair, occasionally with a hair dryer too.

Hair dryer without making your hair wet first also works. Won't take longer than a minute.

I wash my hair twice a week, sometimes three if I'm feeling fancy.

Mine is curly but I just wet my hands, and then smooth some water based lube over. Yes, actual lube

Vidal baboon i have a hairbrush hairdryer i run that over my hair on the cooler setting or dry shampoo if i have had a lazy week

I 2nd wetting a brush then combing though , I don't use a hair dryer but that more because I cba

I wet my hair in the shower every morning, that gets it back into shape. Not soaking wet but wet enough.

On the days I don't wash, I run the straighteners over it quickly

Btw don't add more mousse you will just end up with sticky build up and your hair will look horrible

Water based lube for curly hair? I'm trying that one!

@ChodeofChodeHall yes a silicone free one. Acts like a serum

Yeuch! I have curly hair and wetting it is all that's needed for it to spring back. It's got product in it anyway.

I just brush it. I have quite weighty hair so the worst that happens is it goes a bit wavy in the night. I tend to prefer it that way anyway.

I've got a chin length bob too, I wash mine every other or 3rd day.
Day 1 is wash day.
Day 2 I use a blast of water spray and a quick hair dry blow.
Day 3 either dry shampoo and top half gets clipped back or this is wash day.

When I was white blonde I washed it twice a week, but since growing it back to natural it gets greasier faster.

Dry shampoo

Damp comb and hairdryer

Get a silk pillowcase!

I have a short style too and I just use a straighter on it on the days i dont wash. I wash it every 2nd, or if I can stretch it every 3rd day.

I would rather not wash my hair every day but if I don’t it seems to start hurting the top of my head, it’s very strange, I have short curly hair so it is no bother to wash it so I do

I use straighteners to iron out any kinks.

If I don’t wash it I just damp it and it springs back

I shower daily and soak it down. I run water based conditioner through it every second day and wash with shampoo weekly.
I’ve got very curly, prone to be dry hair.

I put the straighteners through it, I look like iv been electrocuted when I wake up

Does nobody use dry shampoo any more?! Worried I've missed some dire health warning or something now!

I do jellycat but for me it only makes t look less greasy,it doesn't take out the links etc. which the OP was describing. Do I'll often dampen and dry hair straight then use dry shampoo.

I use dry shampoo but if I use too much I get a dry scalp
