Does anyone not wash their hair?

I haven't washed my hair for 6 days (usually an every other day person) mainly because it actually looks better! It is curly and the curls have got so much better leaving them and just scrunching it with water in the mornings.

So am interested if anyone never washes their hair and has found it true after a few weeks it doesnt need it? Have a few questions so am interested in if anyone can answer them!

Thanks Smile

I have curly hair too and I don't use shampoo (curly girl method)

I only wash mine once or twice week unless I am doing the more physical side of my job ( then its every day )
My hair is thick and short ( collar length ) and tends to grow outwards rather than down so I look like a startled flue brush if I wash it to often.

Yes that is what I have been doing too. But am thinking of not washing it at all as it has got so much curlier just using water on the ends.

It is just the roots, when they get greasy. Wondering if a quick squirt of dry shampoo every day would be bad for the hair or is that as good as washing it.

Not sure how long I will last though Grin

I dunk mine under the water in the bath or shower, but I never actually wash it with products.
That said, it's very short, less than an inch long, and not at all greasy, so it really doesn't need washing as such.

I hardly ever wash my hair these days and have lost track of when I last did. Have given up combing it too. When I feel like a bath it gets a wash but I've given up on the conditioner as too much rinsing takes too long. I use Aqueous Cream to stop the frizz.

I only wash it a few times a year. I condition it every day. Also have extremely thick curly hair and shampoo makes it hideously soft and frizzy.

I have never washed my son's hair. He has autism and it is not worth the hassle. His hair is gorgeous, it never gets greasy and is dark blond with a slight wave. He never gets head lice even when the rest of the class have them.

Dirty hair smells

Wash my hair in the shower after every shift. In my job you can get quite sweaty and your hair sticks to your head. Have to be careful what you use though as the skin on you face dries out and some of the protective stuff we have to wear makes it worse.

My hair is thick and curly, and I only wash it once a fortnight or so. I also usually only wash with conditioner. It would look and feel awful if I washed it more frequently.

Mine would be foul after that long. I can go 2 days max. I also exercise 6x a week so would find the sweat situation unpleasant.

It really does. These people who don't wash it always seem blissfully unaware. I can smell it, why can't they??

Really honks of BO and dirt
