to not wash my hair before the hairdressers

[Note3]

So. .I have the hairdressers tomorrow. My hair needs a wash. I used some dry shampoo in it today to perk it up as didnt have time to wash it this morning. Would it be unreasonable to not wash it tomorrow morning and instead put some more dry shampoo in before my hairdresser appointment in the morning?

I'm thinking it's pointless washing it myself only to have the hairdresser wash it again for my appointment?

I'd be embarrassed to go with dirty hair.

So long as you're planning on running a comb through it, I don't see the problem personally!

I never wash my hair before the hairdressers. They are just going to wash it again.

If you're having colour put in your hair they'd need to wash the dry shampoo out and then dry it before applying the dye.

Personally I always arrive at the hairdresser with squeaky clean hair. It's the Hyacinth Bucket in me.

My understanding is that hairdressers prefer not-clean hair, especially if they're doing highlights on it. Clean, fluffy hair is harder to work with than slightly greasy hair.

when I'm getting color I do not wash my hair the day of. If its just a cut, I go in with just washed, still wet hair and she re-wets for the cut and then does a wash and condition after cutting. I've never used dry shampoo, can't speak of that. I do know the color takes better to not freshly washed hair.

I don't wash my hair the morning that I'm going to the hairdressers but I wash it everyday so it's not dirty when I go. I wouldn't go if it was full of dry shampoo though, not sure if products make it more difficult to dye?

Oh sorry didn't think of colour...I'm just having wash cut and blow dry. I do feel embarrassed to think it'll be grimy so I think I may wash it this eve then bung up and have it rewarded tomorrow morn. I have a young baby so getting in the shower can be a royal faff at the mo what with teething and crawling and such like!

Of course no need to wash your hair! Thats why it's called hairdressers... you are paying them to do it for you. Why wash it before you go...

I would go dirty as its not being coloured. Maybe I have no shame, but I hate the thought of wasting all that water washing it twice unnecessarily.

Note, don't bother !
You are having a wash, cut and blow tomorrow.
You are not expected to have pristine hair for your appointment.
Just relax this evening, and enjoy tomorrow. 😄

I would wash it tonight

I have never washed my hair just because I'm going to the hairdressers. It's the first thing they do. Even when I used to get mine coloured they always washed it first. And no, if you're thinking that's because my hair was always dirty! Even if my hair was freshly washed the hairdresser always washed before colouring.

Never wash my hair before going, always looks a mess, BUT I do have a colour and I have been told not to wash it before, I like going in looking awful and coming out all shining and bouncy with roots that match the ends.

If I was going tomorrow and had washed it today, maybe not. If it was dirty and on top of that I'd used dry shampoo a couple of times I'd feel embarrassed

My colour goes on dry hair, gets it's a different type, tint then highlights and low lights here.

washing my hair before going to the hairdressers seems completely pointless to me if I'm having it washed there. But then I have mixed race hair and washing it more often than once a week is really bad for it!

Lol just noticed my second post says rewarded instead of rewashed...I guess my hair is going to be rewarded tomorrow...haha!

Hmm interesting...quite a split of replies! I will have to see how teething baby is and hope I can get in shower tonight and if not will have to grit teeth and hope hairdresser doesn't think I'm unreasonable tomorrow!

Just a cut? I'd wash & dry it in the style I like in order they can see it.

Colour? Don't wash. It makes your scalp sensitive to colour and it can sting to buggery (and dry shampoo makes no difference to the colours ability to 'take'. I've asked various hairdressers).

Why on earth would you wash it and how would they know it was dirty? Unless it is full of mud, they won't notice it hasn't been pre-washed.

My hairdresser says dry shampoo prevents the colour from taking correctly.

What do you do for mobile hairdresser? Wash before thet arrive so it's wet? Then they can't see how your hair sits when dry?

Hmm, I'd go with day old hair but no more as they usually run their hands through your hair while you describe what you want, which isn't pleasant for them.

Mine doesn't mitzy

This reminds me of the thread where the woman went with dirty hair and went mad when the hair dresser asked if she wash it next time
