i have heard that its not encouraged to shampoo everyday...somethin bout strippin the natural oils from the hair or somethin to that effect. i wash my hair everyday coz i find that it gets greasy if i dont. unless i know for sure i aint goin out the next day then prolly i wont wash my hair. otherwise it's shampoo and conditioner everyday for me!

i wouldn't say bad,but it does dry your hair out a bit. seems to wash out too much of the natural oils.i'd do it every other day instead of every day if possible.

i shampoo my hair twice a day on a daily basis and its not good. it makes my hair lose its natural oils and shine leaving it really dry, because of that i have to use conditioner to maintain the moisture in my hair. washing your hair on alternate days would be better. but of course im not gonna change my routine of washing hair because it makes me feel more confident that i am clean and spotless. i know its weird but that's just the way it is for me. cheers love.

I also likes to shampoo my hair everyday because my hair get greasy easily. So far, i didn't found any problem with my hair as a result of shampooing everyday. I use a mild shampoo to shampoo my hair..

I don't shampoo my hair everyday but my grandaughter does. Her hair is very oily, and if she doesn't wash it almost everyday it looks just terrible. I buy her the special shampoo that is for shampooing your hair everyday and I assume it has the extra vitamins and nutrients neede to maintain the balance your hair needs for staying healthy.
