Does anyone go fo wash and blow once a week and not wash their hair inbetween?

or does your hair go manky? Is it expensive?

my nana used to do that (she was 85)

do people really still do it these days ?

According to my hairdresser they do. I have noticed as I've gotten older 45 that hair needs washing less and is more wiry. If it was less than a tenner I'd consider it.

hehe, your hairdresser is just after your regular money

Get a blue rinse while you're at it!

(can you still get blue/purple/pink rinses?)

mine gets greasy still and I am 49

I do remember my friends mum getting her hair done weekly , she must have been around the age I am now

bloody hell I am 48 NOT 49

mind's going

I could not do this. My hair looks like the wreck of the hesperus after a night's sleep, plus would feel skanky in the extreme if I did not wash my hair daily.

I can see why you'd have it done. Whenever I get mine blow dried it looks like different hair. No fluffiness, no wiry sticky out bits. all smooth and lovely.

I have done this a few times. Hair needed serious washing after about 4 days and then tied back for about 2 days before blow dry. It costs £18 for a blow dry at my salon so too expensive .Saw a local one advertising c and b dry for £10 which would be doable if they made a good job of it

I would do it if I had the cash. My hair does not get greasy at all for days after washing. I need my hair colouring and cut every 6 weeks though so that tends to take up the funds I have for my mop.

My mother went to the hairdressers once a week, and when I used to earn good money, I used to as well, but that was because my hair was such a nightmare to keep straight.

I have very dry, very curly/frizzy hair which tends to look better dirtier, so only washing it once a week wasn't something that bothered me. I can't recall ever having greasy hair.

Now I've finally mastered how to do my own hair, I still only wash it once a week, sometimes it's once every 10 days.

mesnt to say agree with lindaloopyloo my hair is like a different persons when hairdresser does it

I'm considering this too.

My hair doesn't get greasy, really. Its very long and best when washed every 5 days, and the last 2 days in a ponytail would be fine. I'd like to have it done every thursday, but not for another year until DC4 is in childcare some days. And only if I can find a hairdresser cheaper than the senior stylist I use for cut & colour, who can blowdry my hair the way she does.

Oh, and I'm early 30's!

MIL (72) does it.

My hair would smell horrible if I didn't wash it for a week

Mine goes manky, in far less than a week. It smell horrible too. Having said that, I once went camping in the US (the great outdoors, no shower to be seen nearer than an hours drive), and I didn't wash my hair for a week. It was not that bad, I guess I just got used to the smell, though.

i have noticed that my hair stays cleaner longer when it is washed and blowdried at the hairdresser but would not last a week.

Yes, my hair stays cleaner longer when the hairdresser washes it? why? anyway might consider doing this soon.
