Hello there, I wash my hair everyday and i wash them twice a day. Morning and night. Whenever i take a shower, i will wash my hair. But this is because i have oily scalp that is why i have to wash them everyday. Well these are what i have heard from the net. They say you could use baking powder, firstly you wet your hair then you dust the baking powder on you hair and rib off the excess and make sure that you rub the baking powder on your scalp also. Then do no shampoo until your hair dries. Make sure you do not use shampoo until your scalp secrete natural oil, would probably take few weeks. The second solution is to use lemonade just sprinkle some lemonade on your scalp but do no over do it just about 3 table spoon then you massage your scalp gently and wash off with water. Then you will continue with lemon juice with water and wash your hair with it after shampoo. And they say you can use mouthwash also, you shampoo your hair then you use mouthwash together with conditioner on your hair. The other one is vinegar. After shampoo you use 2 glass of cold water and wash your scalp then before each shampoo you sprinkle 3 tablespoon of vinegar on your hair and massage for one minute and then rinse with water then wash your hair with shampoo. lastly is using salt, your rub the salt on your scalp and massage your scalp and then let it dry off a bit then you can wash your hair with shampoo. Well, i got all these through the internet as i have not experienced any dandruff before. So have fun and i hope your scurf will go away soon! :)

hello there, i wash my hair everyday since i take a bath everyday! but i just shampoo my hair every other day. i can't do it daily coz i have a tendency of having a falling hair. when it comes to dandruff, well maybe its has something to do with the shampoo you are using...my husband & i are just using a menthol anti dandruff shampoo and i can say that its effective and we get used to it already, coz as i observed, whenever we try using other brand, we get itchy scalp & some dandruff... and so we just stick to this menthol shampoo and its really do well for us.

I too wash my hair twice a week. It is better to apply any oil massage hair and after one hour wash it. You will get good results.

I wash my hair everyday but i only uses shampoo every other day, i use conditioner instead whenever i don't shampoo my hair. This is because our hair tends to be brittle or damaged when its natural oil was washed everyday with shampoo.

I wash my hair every other day, and more if it feels dirty. I am guessing that scurf means dandruff. I find my scalp feels healthier if I rinse with a little apple cider vinegar in water after the shampoo. It gets all the soap scum and oils out.

I wash my hair every three days. If I wash it any sooner, my hair gets dry. My hair really doesn't get oily or anything. On the other hand, my sister has to wash her hair every day. Her hair is more prone to getting oily, while my hair is more likely to be dry. I guess it all depends on hair type.

Well, i wash my hair daily since it's smelly and oily, if i didn't wash my hair. My country weather is hot, so it's hard not to wash my hair daily. But, i do heard from my friend who study in China, that she only able to wash her hair 2 to 3 times in a week because the weather is very cold there. So, i think we wash our hair more frequently is depend on the weather and the surrounding. If, i seldom go out from my home, then i will only wash my hair once in a day.

I wash my hair once or twice everyday with shampoo. I wash my hair whenever I take a shower, that's why it's everyday. :] Since it is hot here in my country, i sweat more. As a result, I have to wash my hair daily in order to stay fresh and clean. That way, it would always smell good and look good. :) But, i seldom use conditioner, only for special occasions so that my hair would not look frizzy. :)

I usually do when i shower, i dont wash my hair as it is, if im going to take a bath then my hair will be washed thoroughly.I dont know if girls do the same thing or they wash their hair as they wish.For as long as your comfortable with what your doing i think washing your hair as often as you like is just good. Thanks for asking and happy mylotting!
