I cannot wash my hair every day, it's extremely fine and it would destroy it. Most people who wash daily end up with an excess buildup of hair oils and greasier hair, as a result (and if they don't wash properly by lathering and rinsing twice, they're not actually cleaning the hair at all, just stripping it of oils every day and making the problem worse).

Every 4-6 days

Every 3 or 4 days when my hair was longer it would literally take like 6 hours to dry and I hate using heat on it so there’s 0 chance I’m doing that every day

I would never wash my hair every day.

Once or twice a week like every 5-6 days.

My hair is shoulder length and I do wash it daily. It’s not greasy at all. I know daily washing doesn’t work for everyone, especially with very fine hair, but in my case it suits my hair type and keeps it feeling clean and balanced. Everyone’s hair is different, so what works for one person doesn’t necessarily work for another. I’ve tried every other day and less frequently but it just doesn’t work for me.

Once a week. I need to wash it now but I hate doing it.

Once a week, and a hair mask too at that point. I do the whole blowdry and either straighten and curl after that too. I do a herbal shampoo dye monthly that’s for greys

Avatar

Once every 2 or 3 weeks

I have thick hair and wash it everyday because if I don't it gets greasy. Some people need to wash their hair everyday.

Twice a week but u have course dry hair and a lot of it.

Avatar

Once a week and I've noticed my hair is a lot thicker now. Use to wash it daily

Avatar

Everyday for me. I have fine hair though, takes 10 mins to air dry. It’s super healthy though and I’ve never used even a conditioner on it.

I tried going days without washing for months on end and it never worked for me. Every day I wake up like my hair has been rubbed in butter, super greasy and no amount of conditioning it to be washed less helped.

Washing my hair though is a 60 sec job.

Every 3 days. Sometimes every 4. I hate my hair the day I wash it because it's too dry. To me it's crazy to wash it everyday but I know everyone has different hair. My partner has to wash his everyday because he has oily hair.

Avatar

I have long thick hair and absolutely no chance have I got the time or inclination to wash it daily. Twice a week for me.

Avatar

shampoo - 2x a week. conditioner- every other day. hair mask- once every few weeks

Avatar

Almost every day because I sweat a lot when I workout.

Avatar

I used to wash it every day, now its every other unless i know im out the next day then i need to wash it the night before so its not greasy but the right amount of dirty to style it nicely. I have long fine hair.

Avatar

At the moment once a week is pushing it 😂😂

Avatar

Wash it daily, shampoo only and air dry while I sleep lol. I work with cattle so I need to regardless but I did try years ago to skip days and literally by the end of day 2 my hair is so oily it's like you dumped veggie oil on me and my scalp actually hurts. My hair is very healthy though, I always get a million questions on how I get such strong healthy hair when I go get it cut

Avatar

Every 2-3 days for me. I have thick hair so it doesn’t need to be washed daily and it’s very healthy. I don’t dye it very often. But that’s besides the point lol I think it’s better for your hair not to be washed daily. Every other day at most.

He’s clearly never dated a black woman. 😂 Twice a month.

Avatar

Sounds like he's never dated a woman... lol
I wash my hair every 1-2 days and anytime I say that to another woman I get unwanted advice about how to stretch it longer. I've tried all the things over the last 15 years and none of them have ever worked, but saying that almost never stops women from saying I'm the weird one for washing ny hair so often.

Avatar

You’re not even supposed to wash your hair everyday because it’s bad for your scalp

Avatar

Once a week unless i get really sweaty...

Avatar

I wash my hair everyday because if I dont I have so much oil buildup it makes me my scalp itchy. I have thin long hair, almost to my butt, but its thin so easy to maintain and dry.

Avatar

Once a week maybe

Avatar

I wash mine twice a week at the most!!

Avatar

Depends on what season it is. And how much I'm exercising. Typically in the winter I only wash it two times a week. In the summer I wash it 4 to 5 times but I'm more active then.

Avatar

Your not supposed to wash your hair every day as you strip the natural oils from your hair. I’m an ex hairdresser. Don’t listen to men, they think they know everything but actually know very little. 🤣

Avatar

I wash my hair once a week, sometimes I don’t wash it for a month …

Girl once every 4-5 days

Avatar

My hair is very good at keeping clean so 1-2 times a week

Avatar

It depends. I have wavy hair and use product everyday so I can’t go more than 2 days without washing my hair. Some people find it’s drying out their scalp and hair so they can go longer. Others produce a lot of oils and have to wash everyday. As long as you’re washing your body everyday it’s personal preference for how often you do your hair.

Avatar

Well I’m black with locs so this might not be helpful 😂 but I wash my hair once a month now. Before I had locs I did twice a month. Tell him he’s a racist cuz he’s never dated a black woman before to shut him up 😂

Avatar

I’m the same. Only if I want to style my hair with heat do I wash it, as I have it up with products in most the week.

Avatar

Well it isn’t proving him wrong is it? Maybe they did all wash their hair everyday.
I wash every other day just because my hair isn’t greasy and my hair is down to my waist- literally.
All those I’ve been in relationships with definitely did wash their hair daily though.
