I heard its not good to shampoo your hair often. I have been told to shampoo once in two weeks for healthier hair but I can't stay without it. I wash my hair twice in a week and shampoo it twice but people say its not healthy. What do you think?

i shampoo my hair on every alternate day. i am a student. so, the hectic life and the everyday travel does have a toll on my hair. to add to that i sometimes engage in a game of football in the evenings. so, lots of , rather gallons of sweat. also, my scalp is on a bit oilier side. so, i play it safe... bye and take care..

It can be difficult for people who have oilier scalp so yes you need to be careful and wash your hair after every two days. Thanks for the respond and happy mylotting.

If you wash your hair too often, you can wash the necessary oils out of your hair. Having said that, I wash my hair 2-3 times a week because I live in a hot country and find it necessary to wash it often. However, I use a very mild shampoo (specially made for washing hair often), and I alway use a conditioner afterwards, and that keeps my hair healthy.

Hello there. I shampoo everyday before going to work. I've been used to doing it even when I was still schooling. I can't go out at home without shampooing. It's hard to comb the hair when I can't and I feel that my hair is dry and dull. Good day!

Everyday is very rare for me but it depends on how hair your hair is. Its difficult to do it if you have long hair.

Shampooing hair daily is not advisable. Twice or thrice a week is quite ideal. But i shampoo my hair thrice in a fortnight only.

I can't speak for everyone, but I am sure that most men (with good hygeine, at least) probably shampoo 1-2 times everyday when they shower. My husband showers in the morning and then again before going to bed at night. I, on the other hand, shampoo 1 time per week -- providing that I haven't participated in any sweaty-type activities during that time, then I will have to shampoo. I have very thick hair, so I don't get the oily feeling that alot of people get. My hair styles better and is more cooperative when I shampoo one time per week. Today, in fact, is SHAMPOO DAY! I have to say that I dread it in a big way. Yes, I feel good after doing it and it's all over with, but it takes a grueling 1 1/2 hours to accomplish the task! Just another reason WHY I'm so glad I don't have oily-type hair! If I were a man, with short hair (like my husbands' military "fade-away" cut), I would probably shampoo 2-3 times a day. There would be NO time lost with hair like that, so why not? I often joke with people, that if we're at the lake or swimming pool, you better not start drowning, 'cause if it's not "hair day" for me, you're out of luck! :)

I think its difficult for ladies who have longer hair to shampoo everyday. With guys they won't have problem shampooing it twice or thrice in a day. Thanks for the response.

Hi, I don't have very thick hair, so I would only wash my hair on alternate days. Due to our hot and humid climate, we tend to sweat; so I'd use shampoo! After that, I would use conditioner. I think it depends on the shampoo we use, according to the type of hair we have. I use shampoo for dry hair, with fall-control, so it's okay for me.
