I always do. I'm not comfortable withmy hair because it is oily. Once I did not shampoo for a day, lots of oil are coming out.

My stylist told me that too. He said that I should just shampoo my hair once every two days and when I don't shampoo, I should just use conditioner. But everyday, I wash my hair with shampoo and follow it up with conditioner. It just doesn't feel complete if I don't shampoo. And my scalp gets really itchy too when I tried to skip shampoo.
What exactly does shampooing everyday do to our scalps anyway?

Not only it dries the scalp, it strips your hair of the natural oils. Did you notice that when you wash your hair sometimes it doesn't have that natural sheen to it? Thats why. I was like that at first but If I'm around smokers or was out in the heat (very humid in Texas) I have to wash my hair. I always buy leave in conditioners and do oil treatments about once a month.

I wash my hair daily with soap. I feel better if I wash it daily... because the dirt, dandruff and other such things get removed through washing it by soap. If I do not wash... I feel sticky in my hair... and I feel uncomfortable.

No,i think it is unnecessary to do so.It's a waste of time.Your hair isn;t so dirty as you think.
When you wash your hair,add some salt into the water,that;s a good way to protect your hair.It will keep your hair's color,won't turn white.Moreover,it's good for your skin on your head.

I think cleaness is more important than "scalp". I myself have experience on this. My hair start drpping because last time i not used to wash hair everyday, but now i have to wash everyday, if not the scalp will stuck with oil and my hair wont grow up.

I wash it once a week. My hair is way to long and out of control, for me to dedicate so much time and effort everyday to manage it

I shampoo my hair daily too because I cannot stand having greasy hair. My scalp tends to be on the oily side especially in the hot humid climate where I live. Maybe what you can do is to use a mild shampoo so your hair does not dry out.

If I go one day with out washing my hair, my hair looks as though it is been more like 2 weeks since I washed it! So I wash my hair every morining. I give it one shampoo one day and two the next and so on, and always conditioner. I think the only way this would be bad for your scalp is if you didn't rinse it properly. Otherwise I don't think it is problem. I think certain hair types need different shampoo's though so if you naturally have dry or oily hair then use the right shampoo and conditioner depending. There are always people saying it is or is not good, if you do not have a problem with it and it does not give you a dry scalp or any other problem then I would continue to do what you are comfertable with.

I always wash my hair everyday. It's already summer and my hair will dry out or else get oily if I don't shampoo it everyday. I don't use conditioner everyday though. I heard that it's harmful to your hair. When shampooing, try to massage your hair with your fingertips. that way, the natural oil of your scalp will surface. This will make your hair glossy and smooth. This will also protect your hair from the sun. :p

i definitely wash my hair daily... its hygenic and its not bad for your scalp just make sure you put small amount of shampoo and the light shampoo for it.
if you dont like to use shampoo use herbal leaves (gogoo)/aloe vera and warm water. hope this helps

I do wash my hair every day with shampoo. Then i use a conditioner on it. I use shampoo for dry scalp, It seems to work really well for me.
