I am hoping some other people say "oh once a week" but gloomily prepared for EVERYONE to say daily

it seems such a waste of time

I wash mine every day - even on the days I wear my hejab! (Don't wear it to work as work in dodgy area). I feel gross if haven't done anything with my hair...also look it tbh....

Every day. It's greasy as hell otherwise.

BroccoliSpears · 20/01/2008 20:30

Daily. I resent it. It's boring and a faff. If I skip a day I look like the grease monster from the oily lagoon though.

Beauregard · 20/01/2008 20:30

Every other day unless someone at work has thrown something nasty in it.

biglips · 20/01/2008 20:30

i wash mine every 3 days. After that it starts to get greasy

Pesha · 20/01/2008 20:30

Once every 2 or 3 days on average.

If I've straightened it I tend to try and leave it as long as possible so I dont have to do it all again!

ambercat · 20/01/2008 20:30

Everyday! except days when i know i'm not going to see anyone so can get away with having chip shop hair.

PandaG · 20/01/2008 20:31

every other day

lazarou · 20/01/2008 20:31

Every day, but I have quite fine hair that looks rubbish if I don't wash and style it every day.

FrannyandZooey · 20/01/2008 20:31

I think a lot of people wouldn't need to wash their hair every day, if they didn't wash it every day, IYSWIM

when you strip all the natural oils off, your body goes mad trying to replace them, no?

I have to wash mine once a day as it has become hypersensitised and I get dermatitis if I don't, but I still don't sometimes. It is a total pain in the arse.

ineedapoo · 20/01/2008 20:32

everyday

Islamum · 20/01/2008 20:32

I aim for twice a week, was every other day before baby, just don't have time any more, long shower on sat is such a luxury

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 20/01/2008 20:32

Every 2-3 days. It's such a fag.

chocolateshoes · 20/01/2008 20:32

every other day usually

beautifuldays · 20/01/2008 20:33

every other day, otherwise it gets really greasy and bleurghh

Habbibu · 20/01/2008 20:33

Every other day. Have scalp psoriasis, and it gets very itchy otherwise.

donbean · 20/01/2008 20:33

every 2 to 3 days even then i cant be arsed.
but it looks disgusting other wise.
my roots are proper black at the mo so it looks even more gross when its unwashed.
hairdresser cant fit me in until the end of the month.
and thats another thread, i hate hate hate the bloody hairdressers so i only go every 3 or 3 months.
am a slob

FrannyandZooey · 20/01/2008 20:33

MT that sounds a nuisance - so the oils make it flare up? It would sound more usual for the products to cause a problem, what a shame for you

I wash mine every 2-3 days is static the day I wash it - great the next day - starting to get greasy the day after..

Divastrop · 20/01/2008 20:34

another once every 2 or 3 days here,depending on what time of the month it is(it gets greasy and dry the week before af).the only time it actually looks nice is when ive had it cut+straightened at the hairdressers.i just wear it up all the time so dd3 cant pull it.

babyblue2 · 20/01/2008 20:34

Every other day.

hercules1 · 20/01/2008 20:34
