China

I used to wash my hair once in two to three days when I was with my long hair. Now I wash my hair every one to two days. I am really happy with my short hair as it is pretty convenient. Dear mylotters, is your hair long or short? How often you wash your hair? Do you feel annoying to wash your long hair, especially in winter? Have a nice day and happy mylotting.

I think once in two days is quite alright. I can imagine having to wash hair in winter. Ouch..must be super brain-freezing cold, huh..

Yeah, I too think washing hair once in two days are alright. And really do not like wash hair in winter especially when my hair are long... In winter, I like take shower with hot water. I feel warmer and comfortable after it. Thank you for your response and have a great day.

I used to wash my hair twice in one week in winter.but in summer I do it everyday.you know,you should check what is durty or not.By the way,Washing hair frequently is a bad thing,especially the dying hair.

Hi Wjtexjonny, more often I set a regular period for washing my hair, even when it is not dirty. For example, I wash my hair every two days, then if I do not wash it in the second day, I will feel my scalp itching in the second night... Anyway, I do wash my hair when it is dirty. So I wash my hair quite offen in summer, every time I go out for shopping, for exercising... When I return I got to wash my hair... Thank you for your response and happy mylotting.

Hi Msfrancisco, Wash hair twice in a day is really frequently. So does most of women have short hair in your area? I seldom take shower never to mention wash my hair before going to work, as I really like sleep late in the monring. Thank you for your response and have a great day.

Hi Huangdangwu, wash our hair every day can make us more clever? I never heard of that... If it is true, I will wash my hair very often, as long as I have time. Haha... On the contrary, I have heard that washing our hair too often, e.g. everyday may cause headache. I do not know if this view is supported by science... Thank you for your response and have a great day.

Wow, Xiaosan, you are really diligent! I seldome wash my hair in the morning, not to mention to wash it every morning. I like sleep late as I went to bed very late usually... I like washing my hair with warm water as well, even in summer. I feel uncomfortable after washing if I use cold water... I hate wash my long hair in winter too... It is lucky that I look not too bad with short hair, I enjoy having short hair in winter... Thank you for your response and have a nice day.

Hehe... Really? So how often you wash your head? Do you wash it everytime you wash your face? It is said, bald-headed people are very clever, and they tend to use their head too much, so they loose their hair while they are still young... My brother in law are bald-headed as well, he works as an engineer, and it is true that he is really smart. Thanks for your response and happy mylotting.

Every one to two days is alright for me too. But I have this habit to wash my hair everyday; and every 2 days once I would shampoo. I just must wash my hair and keep it wet, and then I'll feel fresh. Weird, I know... LOL...

HI Mikeymom, I am also very busy when I back home with my son, he is very naughty and keep me really busy unless he is falling into sleep. One of the reason I cut my hair short is to save time.

I also have long hairs.I prefer shampooing my hairs almost regularly,or otherwise it becomes sticky....I prefer doing it once in two days if the weather is either rainy,chilly,bad or unfavorable.Otherwise its pretty hot here and I don't even need a dryer to dry it up.
• China

I do not use dryer to dry my hair neither, except when the weather is really cold. Hair dryer makes our hair really dry, and lost the shine of itself. I do not like that. Thank you for your response and have a great day.

I washed my hair only once a day because some health experts said that it is bad for hair to wash several times a day because it will washed out the natural moisture of the hair leaving it dry and unmanageable. So I make it a point to just wash my hair once a day.

Hi Jlamela, To wash your hair once a day is quite frequently already. I do not see the need of washing our hair several times in a day. Thank you for your response and have a great day.

Hi Seanbryan, So does it take you long time to wash and dry your hair? I really feel bothering when I wash my long hair, and take time to dry it... Anyway, I do admire some people having their long, soft hair. It really looks nice... Thank you for your response and have a great day.

Hi Shally, Do you wash your hair in the early morning? It is sad we must not wash our hair as soon as we get up after sleeping, or we may get headache when we are getting old. Have you ever heard of that?

Shally-hh, I seem have the exactly same situation with you. My hair is greasy, my face is greasy, allover my body is greasy: ) what can I do? It makes me upset. So, whatever in summer or in winter, I must wash my hair every morning before I go to work, except I have no time as wake up too late. Otherwise the shape of my hair looks very bad, no shape anymore, It always makes me annoying.BTW, I have the short hair. Do you know is there any solution to this problem of greasy hair? thank you!

I used to washing my hair the same as you, but sometimes when I am lazy, I will wash my hair once a week in summer. But in winter, I will wash my hair twice a week, which will help protect my hair. I heard that washing too frequent is bad for the skin of the head. Concerning washing the hair, I will use different shampoo once the old one is being run over. How about you?
• China

I never wash my hair only once in a week, expect the time I gave birth to my son. I can hardly stand being not wash my hair longer than four days... Yeah, it is true, washing hair too frequently is not good for our head, I think wash it once in two or three days would be better. I am not use the same shampoo all the time, nor I change the shampoo everytime when the old one is running out. It depends, when I see a shampoo with discount, I may get it. Of course, I must have heard or used that before, I hate the poor quality shampoo, it make my hair getting bad and my head feel not comfortable.

Well, I wash my hair every 2 days, because it's not good for it if I wash it every day. What is good, is that I have a short hair(I'm a boy) and I that's why I can wash it even 2 times a week.

As for me, I wash my hair often when it is short, and I am lazy to wash it when it is getting longer. I know lots of man who wash their hair everyday, and not yet hear some one wash their hair two times in a week. Thank you for your response and have a great day.

I used to wash my hair daily with oil and applied shampoo and conditioner once in a week when I lived with my parents in my village. Now, I moved to a city and the water here is not good. I use water taken from bore wells and it made me loose a lot of hair. I am scared to take hair bath thinking about the amount of hair I will loose. Now, I take hair bath only once in three or four days to avoid hair loss. I am lazy to take hair bath during winter.

Hi Daliaj, I am sorry to hear you face the problem of hair falling out. I used to have this problem when my hair is long. I am not worrying that my hair is becoming less as I have too much hair. But it is really annoying when I see my floor are with hair every here and there. So I cut it... The problem seems solved now. You may cut your hair short and see if it would be better. Thank you for your response and have a great day.

I agree shorter hair is more comfortable. I wash my hair every two or three days. My hair is medium length, passes my shoulders. I really want that cute pixie haircut but my husband said I look better with longer hair lol. Yes, it's annoying to wash hair in cold weather. But I always do that when the weather is good.

my hair is short, and i like wash it, every one or two days. i am growing it now, and people say the more often you wash your hair, the fast it will grow, hopefully! heard about it mylotter? i used to have long hair up to the middle of my back, i liked it, and felt no problem washing it. i only use head and shoulder to wash my hair, it's been a while now, it's good and does work for my flakes, the fresh feeling after wash, just feels good.

Hi Thseaweed, Yeah, there is also such saying that the more you wash your hair, the fast your hair will grow in our area. Anyway, I am not sure is it true or not. I do feel good after I wash my hair, but I just do not enjoy the process. Thank you for your response and have a great day.

Coincidentally, my hair is short so im not so thinking about hair. but in the past i have a Long hair , because of the my parent's prohibition that they ask me to cutting my Long hair. yes actually i get annoyed when i have a long hair. i feel sultry and look untidy. so what have been asked by my parent, it is true.
