How often do you wash your hair?

I’ve got into a dreadful loop of having to wash every day, unless I use dry shampoo on day 2. I actually prefer my hair on day 2, with the texture the dry shampoo brings, but I miss the “freshly washed” shine. I’m currently on “day 3” and as I used dry shampoo yesterday my hair doesn’t look at all greasy. Contemplating just giving it another quick dry shampoo blast and blow dry - but feel a bit ‘ming’!

Thoughts?

Wash it every Sunday, Wednesday and Friday.
I use dry shampoo in between but I put it on before bed not in the morning

Every 5 days, 6 at a push. Hair looks best on days 3 and 4, smooth with no fluffies. It’s long, thick and wavy with 4 inches of dryness at the bottom from bleach, can’t bring myself to lob it off.

I've finally washed mine today. Last washed on Wednesday I think.

I'm a facialist and spend all day standing next to people's heads - sorry but trust me, even if hair looks ok it still smells if you are not shampooing regularly.

I think it's a trend that has become more and more popular over last few years (unfortunately for anyone who works in close proximity to people!)

Every other day, and I’ve trained it to get to this stage. If I leave it until day 3 it’s visibly oily and I feel like I can smell it (smells like wax crayons).
I’ve tried dry shampoo and it feels powdery on my scalp and makes my hair look dusty too As it’s very dark.

Usually every 2 or 3 days but my dd is every 7-10 days lucky so and so. We have totally different hair types mines fine and straight hers is thick and coarse.
