Do you wash your hair every day?

I don't. Every second day for me. If I don't wash it every second day exactly, it gets oily and my scalp itches (gross I know). Although I'd like to wash it only once or twice a week to let the good oils make my heair all lustrous and beautiful and stuff. How often do you wash yours?

I only have to wash my hair once a week, even though it's thick and about shoulder length. It never gets oily or anything, but it gets dry if I don't use conditioner. I'm lucky I only have to wash and use conditioner once a week!

You are very lucky, as washing my hair is a nuisance & takes time getting it dry in a decent style. You must have very dry hair.

i have to wash mine every second day too, I try and leave it for 3 days if I can, If I wash it everyday it gets greasy and I cannot stand that feeling..

Well, I wash my hair everyday. It's a habit. I hate dirty hair, haha. It does dry out your scalp, that's why you gotta use a good shampoo+conditioner.i shampoo my hair twice in a week.some suggested me that shampoo daily will cause hairfallling!

I wash and shampoo my hair every other day. In between those days i just put conditioner to avoid drying my hair and scalp. Or sometimes every two days depends when i feel its too oily or when i sweat alot that's the time i shampoo.

I wash mine almost everyday, although sometimes I find that I don't have time to because something else was occupying my time. But, I really try to because I hate oil and grease and it'll even start to smell bad after a while. Yuck!

I wash my hair only twice a week. I like them fresh, but my hair is so dry, never get oily, so I want to make sure I don't wash it too often...

I wash my hair every third day. If it goes longer than that, it gets very oily & scratchy. My 14 year old daughter has not come to grips with the fact that now she is in puberty, she needs to wash her hair at least twice each week. It is oily like mkine. She onlky wants to wash it once erach week, & it is a nuisance trying to get her to wash it more often.

it's actaully not good to wash your hear everyday as it takes out all the good oils. The longeest i have gone without washing my hair has been about a week. But when I finally did wash it my hair felt really good. I use to wash it everyday now, it's every 2nd to 3rd day.

I wish that I could even go every other day without washing my hair, but my hair gets oily and unmanageable really quickly when I don't wash it. It doesn't help matters any that I have long hair. I think if it were a lot shorter, I could get away with washing it less often. So I wash my hair daily.

Nope. Not at all. I've also read you're not actually supposed to because it's bad for you. that's not why I don't do it. It's because My hair has always styled better when it's dirty as opposed to clean. I mean I usually shower every day and I wash myself but I definitely don't wash my hair.

I don;t wash it every day, just every second or third because I wear it pulled back in a ponytail, but i rinse it nearly every day to keep it sleek andsmelling nice
