To ask how often you wash your hair?

[laidbackneko]

Now, I shower every morning and sometimes have a bath in addition (as a luxury) in the evening. But I only wash my hair twice a week. Which I thought was pretty normal and acceptable until it came up in conversation with a friend who had a look of barely concealed horror. She washes hers at least every other day and thinks it's poor personal hygiene to go more than two days without clean hair.

Perfectly fine with being called a scuzzy grunge pot (I really don't think I am!) but curious to know which of us, if either, you think is BU.

I do mine every morning in the shower

Most days or at least every other, at a minimum. The second day always has to be hair up after using some dry shampoo however.

As little as possible!

7 days minimum between washes, I like to stretch to 10 though.

Ludicrous 'horror' from your friend!

I don't think either of you are unreasonable just have different ideas! I wash mine daily as its short and gets dirty easily. When I had long hair it was every other day. I don't like the feel of my hair when it's dirty. You're not unreasonable to only wash it twice as she isn't for doing it every day!

Every other day

Every morning in the shower. I feel grubby otherwise.

Every morning, if I don't I don't feel clean

3-4 days.

If I wash it more often, it goes limp and breaks easily no matter what shampoo I use

But, where I live has desalinated sea water as the shower so may not be very relevant. My hairdresser suggested I wash less regularly and it seems
To have improved my hair a lot

Every morning in the shower. Could not go to work with "undone" hair.

Shower everyday but wash my hair twice a week. It takes ages to dry/style and takes ages to get greasy!

About twice a week - I have dry, wavy hair so it doesn't get greasy quickly and if I washed it more often it would be like straw.

Used to be every day, then I wanted to go red and my hairdresser said there's no point doing so if I washed it every day because I'd literally be washing my money away and it'd fade so quick.
I got it down to 2/ 3 times a week. Depends on how sweaty I've got (heat/ exercise), if I've been out and used a load of product in my hair etc. But I'd say every 3rd day on average and my hair is actually in much better condition now

I shower 2 times a day, wash my hair every other day

It's not good for your hair to wash it too frequently. I do mine every 2-3 days.

Everyday.

Every morning

Once a week, but I have a lot of hair and no hairdryer.

If you are getting, so am I. Only twice a week here as well, with the approval of my hairdresser as it is better for the condition of your hair.

How short is your friend hair? I think if you have longer hair, you have to be more aware of its condition as the ends will be that much older.

Half the responses will be: "Every day or I feel like I've rolled in a sewer!"

Other half will be: "That's just ludicrous social conditioning and totally unnecessary to do it more than once a week"

Both will be very very at the other side.

Every other day unfortunately. If I could get away with leaving it a lot longer I would.

Twice a week.

OP's friend has presumably led a bit of a sheltered life.

Every morning without fail. My hair look horrible otherwise.

Every other day. Daily washing gives me dandruf where as 2 days plus of no washing means having a greasy galore that itches like hell on top of my head.
