I think shampooing your hair is really bad, shampoo's contains a lot of chemicals that may be harsh for your hair when put in daily use. As for me,I shampoo every other day, and use conditioner everyday.

In my view,we should wash with shampooing as little as possible because it does contain some chemical make against hair.In addition,frequent washing will lead to hair's lack of warter. I wash my hair twice a week and has smooth healthy black hair.

I think it depends on your hair. I have dry hair because of all the dye and perms I have had. I have to wash and condition my hair at least every other day. If I wait more than three days to wash my hair it looks so oily and ugly. I have a cousin who washer her hair everyday and conditions it and she has no problem with damaged hair or oily hair. I think it is how washing effects your personal hair and it will take trial and error to decide what is right for you. I have heard that by washing your hair every day you may get ear infections because of all the water in your ears. You may want to think about ear plugs.

I used to wash my hair every day and when I went to get it cut. My hairdresser told me I was damaging my hair by washing it every day. I was causing it to dry out. So I stopped washing it so much.

hmm, ever since time immemorial, i have been shampooing my hair daily. i live in a tropical country and so i sweat a lot which tends to make my hair dirty at the end of the day. i think its okay to shampoo hair everyday because my hair is still doing a-ok now. :)

I'm glad you're switching shampoos. Using the same kind all the time will result in build up which can damage hair.
Mine is very long and I switch shampoos every other day to minimize breakage.
Mine is oily and I don't use conditioner for that reason.
Hope this helps!

It really just depends on your hair. I usually wash mine every other day or go no longer than 2 days without washing it. Somedays my hair gets really oily or sometimes it just dry. It depends on the weather with me. I usually only use Biolage, Herbal Essences, Citre Shine, or SunSilk as they work the best for me.
