Have to psych myself up to wash my hair!

Anyone else have to psych themselves up to wash their hair. It is my number one most hated job. I'd rather put away laundry for 3 hours a day than wash my hair.
I'm far too reliant on dry shampoo. My hair doesn't really get greasy but from day 5 onwards I use it to freshen up and then my hair looks dull and waxy.
How do people convince themselves to wash their hair? Mine is so long and thick and frizzy that it takes forever to dry and straighten. Plus I shower at night so by 9pm I really can't be arsed with the whole rigmarole.
I start work at 6.30am so not a chance I'm doing the hair routine at 5.30am on a week day!
I just need to force myself to do it don't I?

Hair that's washed less frequently gets less oily. Your hair might stink after 2 days if you wash it every day...I was mine every 7 days and it doesn't get greasy unless I let it go longer than that..I'm someone who loves to smell nice.

Rubbish- still stinks but the person has got used to jt! Have you been near dreadlocks?! Vom.

@EauNeu I have smelt dreadlocked hair. I can also smell hair that hasn't been washed enough.

Why do you have to dry and straighten it if you live with it in a ponytail anyway?

Mine is a bit mushroom like too but I only straighten for special occasions. I used to all the time but I can’t bring myself to care now.

Washing doesn’t take long with a tangle teezer. It can dry on its own most of the time and then it’ll be almost always back in some kind of hair band.
