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..

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!

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! :)

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.
