Is it okay to use shampoo on your hair everyday? I've heard many comments on how too much shampoo can damage your hair. Is it alright to use shampoo every other day only?

I use shampoo everyday as I take my bath. I don't think it would damage our hair if we just use enough of it. Most shampoos nowadays contains strong chemicals. This is what I do with my shampoo, I add some water in it before I apply to my hair. I guess it's the best way to avoid the damage it may cause.

I have ethnic hair so it's not okay for me to shampoo everyday.If I did it would dry out my scalp. I shampoo and condition my hair once a week.

It is necessary to shampoo once in a week. It keeps hair clean and healthy. I shampoo my hair once in a week.

I wash my hair everyday and it's in fine condition. I think it's better to use a mild shampoo, or a shampoo that is designed for everyday / frequent use. If your hair is quite sensitive, a baby shampoo might be best :) xxx

I think shampooing everyday is fine depending on what kind of shampoo you use. I can't stand not washing my hair for one single day and therefore I would pick some gentle or organic shampoos to use. Also, shampoos with less foam mean they contain less chemicals and those would benefit the hair in the long run. But for those more gentle or organic shampoos, they tend to be more pricey and not everyone is willing to pay that much whereas there are tons of cheap shampoos in the supermarket. I am willing to pay a bit more for those more natural shampoos because in the long run, I would have less problem with my hair. I currently fall in love with LUSH shampoo bars, I notice my hair is more healthy after I finish 1 bar. So I think it's not the frequency, but the shampoo itself plays the major role.

I don't use shampoo everyday because it will make my hair dry. Others said it is really bad to shampoo your hair everyday because it can damage the cuticle of our hair.

I shampoo my hair every other day~! Sometimes when it does get too oily, I shampoo everyday. My hair does tend is on the oily side, so I need to wash it everyday. There are shampoos that are meant for everyday use. That's the one that people should use. =)

It just depends. I do shampoo a minimum of every other day. If I work a lot, I shampoo everyday.

Yes I shampoo everyday, although my mom used to warn me not to since it might cause hairfall, I cannot stand not shampooing daily. My hair gets oily and i cannot stand the feeling, it is so uncomfortable. So, I try to use only a little shampoo everytime, sometimes I dilute with water so it wouldn't be that strong.

I shampoo my hair everyday. I don't know how else to keep it clean and smelling good other than to shampoo it. They say that we should allow our hair to rest and release natural oils that will make our hair and scalp healthy even once a week, but I'm not comfortable with unwashed hair even for a day. Some say to condition it instead of shampooing, but it doesn't feel clean if I use conditioner only because it doesn't even have bubbles. Now, new findings reveal that some shampoos have formalin content. Argh! I don't know what to do and believe anymore. :I

I shampoo about every other day or every third day. If I was to shampoo everyday it makes my hair frizzy and will possibly dry out my hair. I used to wash my hair everyday but I do it less now after I stared coloring and highlighting my hair.

hi there. :) yes, i do shampoo everyday because i live in a tropical country and i really think that i need to shampoo everyday due to the fact that i have long hair and i do sweat a lot during the day. so, to keep my hair smelling nice and fresh, i have to shampoo everyday and i think it doesnt do my hair any harm. :)
