How often do you wash your hair?

[wickedfairy]

As above really! Just curious - I have fine hair and always washed it daily. Trying to increase the length of time between washes to extend the lifetime of my colour. Thanks

Op -And others with fine hair that goes greasy, don’t know if it will help but it worked for me...
I have fine hair and used to have to wash it every day. Someone told me to shampoo twice and only condition the ends. Now I can get away with every two or three days

Every other day, or more.

Every other day, but on the day between I still wet and condition it. I can’t style it properly without setting it beforehand. Occasionally I skip a day and wear it up.

Twice a week.

Once a week, otherwise my scalp gets dry and flakey. I've tested it before tbh and it took over 2 weeks to get greasy. I wash it more often that that ofc because that's gross

Every other day with a shampoo bar.

Once a week for me! Sometimes I'll leave it longer depending on what's in my diary!

Very thick, dry, curly hair - still wash it every day because I like the feeling of a clean scalp. Leaving it feels icky somehow.

Twice a week max, I have fine shoulder length hair. Any more than that dries out my hair. I use the Organix one with Biotin at the moment and always condition before shampooing.

Twice a week, but every other time I just do a co-wash. My hair is pretty dry and frizzy and co-washing has really helped.

I used to wash it everyday when I used a cheap shampoo (from lidls) but now I do it every 2-3 days as I've started using a better quality one that makes me hair feel and look amazing for days. Definitely worth the extra £4 or so.

I used to wash it every other day but in the last few months I've started pushing it out to every third day and it's fine, plus my hair is in better condition.

A friend of mine is a hairdresser and she washes hers once a week, with a rinse in between proper washes. She thinks most of us wash our hair far too much. Her hair looks great and certainly doesn't smell.

Every 4 days, I have really thick hair

Twice a week. It’s long and very thick and wavy with a fringe. In the summer I wash the fringe more often. Solid shampoo bar and Aldi conditioner - amazing for taming a big mane.

Every 2-3 days. On day 4 it looks appalling so rarely go that long. Mid length fine hair but lots of it.

Long thick curly hair. Once or twice a week. I shampoo the scalp but only use conditioner on the rest of my hair.

Every other but I have to tie it up the second day as it feels awful (looks okay though) was washing every day but hairdresser said to stop as it was ruining it and fading the colour too quickly.

Twice a week usually but this week only once which isn't enough. It looks best on day 2. It's shoulder length, very thick and flyaway.

I have very fine, shoulder length hair and I was it once a week, occasionally twice a week. It starts to get a bit greasy by day 4 and I'll generally use a little bit of dry shampoo on it, day 5 a bit more dry shampoo and day 6 it goes up in a pony tail or a bun, day 7 its in a pony tail or bun until it gets washed at some point in the day. I started doing this about 4 years ago and my hair has never been healthier.

Every 6 days.
Days 1-3 straightened and down, 4 and 5 in a ponytail and 6 in a top knot style bun with dry shampoo.
Doesn’t look greasy, just not as blonde by the end of the 6 days.

Every day. Shiny, swishy sweet-smelling hair is my thing.

Every 2-3 days. It’s really thick and curly and takes forever to dry, so every day is not practical.

It has been a revelation to me on MN how many people don't wash their hair everyday. Mine is very short now and I wash it after swimming every day but whatever length it has been I've always washed it every day. Never dyed it though.

It has to be once a day as it’s so fine and smooth.

Once a week, occasionally once a fortnight.
