How often do you wash your hair?

[Forgottenmyphone]

Just that really. I wash mine every other day but might start doing it every day.

2/3 times a week.

Daily. I know that gets frowned upon on here but if I leave it overnight it's a disgusting greasy mess the next day that even dry shampoo won't touch.

If wearing in its natural curls it's washed every 2-3 days

If straightening it's washed every day

Once every four days, I'm older, it's drier. I spray with glycerin rose water every day though as I worry it might be whiffy.

Every day or else I don't feel clean. I've tried so hard to shower with my hair up etc but it just feels awful. Can't enjoy the second day of a proper blow dry as it would mean not showering.

Once a week in the winter and every other day in the summer (I swim a lot then). It's dyed and is in much better nick when it isn't washed often.

I used to do it every other day. Then it became twice a week, and now it's once a week. My post menopausal hair is massively better for the weekly wash, and my hairdresser agrees. She has quite a few clients who've chosen low frequency washing and it's improved their hair.

Once a week, and I feel it looks its best after about 5 days. I don't like how fluffy and frizzy it looks after I've washed it.

I have wavy, dry, thick hair that doesn't really get greasy nowadays; whether this is because I don't wash it so often or just my age (51) I don't know.

@TinselSniffer I'm the same as you!

I am 50 and my hair just doesn't get greasy anymore. It is long and thick and wavy but after washing it is light and fluffy, then after a few days it hangs really well.

I only wash my hair every 10-14 days now. I plait it overnight and tie it back when cooking and exercising and washing.

Every 2-3 days. Mine is thick and wavy and coloured so I try to do it as little as possible.

Every day - it's really oily and even if it looks clean on the morning of the second day, it is usually looking grotty by the afternoon. I also have a double crown so it quite often looks a bit crazy once I've slept on it anyway.

Once a week. It's pretty much what I've always done.

It's interesting that people say they wouldn't feel clean if they didn't wash it every day or whatever. I can't stand it when it's longer than once a week. But maybe it's what people are used to? I wonder if it's a generational thing? I'm 56. But then I don't use the gym. I always imagine people who wash their hair every day have short hair and it's easy to wash and go? To coin a phrase! 😀

Every day. I live in fear of the boiler breaking down.
I love the feeling of the hot water, and the smell of the soap, the warm refreshed clean feeling afterwards, I would hate to give it up.

I know it’s not great for the environment, but it is my main indulgence.

People used to say that washing it so frequently encourages the oiliness. But maybe that's baloney?

Every two days if curly, but I can go 5/6 days without washing it if I have straighten it (with some dry shampoo in between washes)

Interesting I love the feeling of the washing my hair too but kind of like the treat of doing it once a week. It feels more indulgent to me that way!

These aren't criticisms. Just idly interested in our differences.

Every other day.

Every time I've been to the gym, so 3-4 times a week.

I would like it every day in theory but it dries my hair out something rotten.

For full disclosure, my hair is very thin and it used to seem to fall out a lot in the shower which puts me off.

I use to do it every day but my hairdresser wasn't happy with that frequency when I started going blonde and said twice a week at most. I do it every three days and I've changed to a shampoo and conditioner that's free of sulphates and silicone and don't get product build up, never looks greasy and it smells fresh for days.

Every 7-10 days I don't understand how people find the time to wash daily. The whole process takes me over an hour.

Once a week I have really long, wavy hair that never gets greasy. I wash it when I can't smell the shampoo anymore.

This is what I do too. Allowing the oils to coat your hair keeps it in really good condition. Washing it everyday just dries it out

Daily.

Every 5-7 days at the moment. Will probably be more often in the summer if I get a sweaty head!
