the person who posted above me is right. Washing it every day is stripping it of its natural oils, and when you do that, your hair can become dry, brittle, and break off. Have you ever washed your hair and heard the strands squeak when you rubbed them or dried your hair off? That means you washed it to much and all the natural oils are gone. Also, washing it to much can make your scalp work harder to produce the oils it lost, which may make your hair become TOO greasy througout the day.
