Do you use shampoo and hair conditioner everyday?

I love when my hair smells so good every after shower. But then my mom told me when i was young not to use hair products such as shampoo and hair conditioner everyday. Thats why i alternatively use those products. She also advised me to dilute the shampoo with water and not to apply it directly into my hair.. I guess that really works because i have a very shiny and healthy hair even though i colored my hair twice a year. How about you guys, how do you take care of your hair? I know that most people consider their hairs as their crowning glory..

Whenever I wash my hair I use shampoo first and then conditioner. My hair gets too tangled if I don't use conditioner. I wash my hair about 3 times a week. If you wash your hair everyday, you're more likely to have damaged hair and split ends since shampoo strips your hair follicles.

I shampoo my hair everyday. With the weather we have here and the pollution, we really need to make sure that we take care of our hair any way we can. :) Not much a conditioner user but I guess it helps. I didn't know about diluting the shampoo with water. That's very interesting.

my mom told me that shampoos must be diluted first. I guess it helps of not having so much hair loss.

I need to shampoo and wash my hair everyday. Because the weather here is very warm and my hair gets greasy easily. But i only use conditioner once a week, to make sure my hair is easy to comb. But, i never tried diluting the shampoo with water. Can it helps preventing our hair fall problem?

I'm doing the same thing as you. I use shampoo every other day but use conditioner everyday. I know from a hair stylist that you should not use shampoo everyday and when you do, you should dilute is with water as shampoos are very concentrated. And when you use conditioner, you should not put on the roots of your hair but only from an inch from the roots to the tips to allow our own natural oil to come out.

i wash my hair every other day and dilute with water because its healthier for you and easier to care for. if your sweaty or yucky then its ok to wash it couple days in a row but besides that best not to. i use both shampoo and conditioner separate and i usually leave conditioner in for the whole time im in shower it softens your hair more.

I shampoo and use conditioner on alternate days.... I didnt know about the diluting in water thing, but it surely needs conditioner to make the hair silky and smooth

That is not an issue at all right now because right now I am bald because of chemo. But even when I had a full head of hair, I would only wash it about once a week (at least when I was in America). When I was in China, I washed it more often because my head always itched and then I tried different shampoos and conditioners because nothing helped. Sometimes I just used water or vinegar and that also helped with the itch. I was really glad to get back to America and not have to worry about hard water any more. I think when my hair grows back again, I won't use any chemicals in it.

I use baby shampoo and a conditioner mjost days, but after 8 or 10 washes, I use diluted vinegar (about 2 tablespoons in a half glass of water) as a rinse instead of the conditioner.

My hair/scalp gets oily if I don't shampoo everyday. Sometimes I skip the shampoo but still put on conditioner. Now, I try not to shampoo too much because my hair is falling, but that's another story...

many people say that it's bad if you will used shampoo and conditioner everyday because these has side effects and will cause more damages to your hair. Sometimes, I've got to think of it and wondering if this is true or not. But, even many people were saying the same thing, I like to shampoo and use conditioner everyday. I feel good whenever I do that and I really don't care that much about those side effects.

I cannot add any more to what you have mentioned out here. But it was good to know that shampoo should be diluted with water before use. From now onwards, I shall do the same. Thanks a lot buddy for your help.

I use oil before using the shampoo and conditioner and yes i do not use these products everyday as it can damage the hair and lead to hair fall and i also use home remedies for my hair such as applying lime on my scalp for getting rid of dandruff.

I like to use great smelling shampoo everyday and the shampoo must not be greasy and is able to leave my hair sparkling clean. I also try to use shampoos that don't use sodium lauryl/laureth sulfate as foaming agent as it is said to cause irritation to scalp. I have started to use organic shampoos that use less of irritating chemicals and more of natural based ingredients. However I don't use conditioner as I find it quite a hassle.

Hi. jhoannejoj. No, I don't. I don't make it a habit of using shampoo and conditioner everyday. I only wash my hair every week, or once a month. I usually try to wash my hair every two weeks though. My shampoo has conditioner in it already so, it makes my hair feel very strong and thick. I do take care of my hair very much.

I always condition my hair after shampooing it. Since my hair is rebonded, it's a must i should always use conditioner after i have shampooed my hair. In addition, i don't do it everyday, but every other day. I also apply hair treatment every other two weeks. That way i am able to maintain the straightness of my hair.

Hmm... I don't wash my hair with shampoo and conditioner everyday. Maybe just 2 or 3 times in a week. Nowadays especially, since I stay at home most of the time and my hair is not exposed to the polluted air of the city everyday.

I don't Shower and Use Shampoo and a Conditioner Everyday as. Your Hair has Natural Oils an so does the Body. You can Damage Your Skin if You Wash off the Protective Oils. I do it every other Day and I use the Shampoo and Conditioner Undiluted for the Maximum effect.

I shanpoo my hair everyday too, and i agree with your mom. I also dilute the shampoo before i lather it to my hair. I use conditioner every two to three times a week cause my hair is fine. When i use conditioner it becomes limp and lacks body. I don't want to blow dry it everyday cause it will surely be damaged.
