I have long hair. I always have since my hippie days. Sometimes I want to cut it short but I never do. My daughter recently got hers cut in a pixie for the summer. We all have thick, fast-growing hair. I wash mine about every two or three days. Unless I have been overly active and then it gets washed more often. Washing it too often can dry out your hair and take a lot of the oil out. How often do you wash yours?

I've heard that less frequent washing can indeed help maintain natural oils and keep hair healthier.

@celticeagle It's great to see the consensus on this! Taking care of our hair's natural oils can really make a difference in its health. It's always good to share tips and experiences.

I can't bring myself to cut mine very short. As much as shoulder length maybe and in a shag. It grows so fast though even then.

@LadyDuck ........I can trim mine too. About every other month or so I trim the ends.

@celticeagle I have cut mine a little shorter than shoulder length and I trim my hair myself every week.

That's about what I do too. It's a lot to fuss with more often.

I used to have long, long hair. It got to be too much to take care of it. Now that I have it short, I wash it every time I shower.. Have a good week.

Mine was down past my backside. Then I shaved it all off and now, two years later, it's almost back to my backside again.

@celticeagle Mine is too thick. Takes too long to wash and rinse. I like mine better short. I'll bet your hair is lovely.

@LindaOHio .......It used to be rather pretty when it was reddish brown with copper highlights. Now is brownish with gray mixed in. Ugh!

I have long hair now. I wash my hair every two or three days. When I had short hair, I washed my hair once a day,And when I have short hair, I wash my hair in the morning. If I wash my hair at night and have a good night's sleep, my hairstyle may be a bit messy.

When I jogged I used to wash it daily but not anymore.

I see. I use the conditioner more often if my hair gets tangly or dry.
