I thought I would ask this question. Do you wash your hair everyday? Some people think you should...I think it is good to skip a day..to replenish your hairs natural oils. What are your views? Do you think you should wash your hair everyday...?

I've heard it's not good for your hair to wash it everyday, so I don't. I used to wash it about every other day, but figured even that was a bit much. So now I only wash my hair about twice a week. I don't think it really NEEDS to be washed more than that. I know people who will go a whole week or more without washing their hair. Personally, I don't know how they do it. I can't go quite that long!

Yeah...that is what I heard too. Do you find it makes your hair shinier or healthier?

You know what? I think it actually is. It definitely seems to be a lot healthier now than it used to be, anyway.

Hi Icequeen, I used to wash my Hair everyday when I had a Perm, now I wash it every second Day. I have to say though it was hard to adjust skipping a Day as I always felt that my Hair was dirty even though it wasn't, lol.

I know what you mean...but I rarely feel like it is dirty..if I only skip the one day.

I do wash my hair everyday and I agree with what you have said that it is good to skip once for washing our hair that would be a good idea. It is good to let replenish the oil in our hair for it will not go dry easily.

I wash my hair everyday. I know I shoudn't though, because I've noticed it looks much healthier when I don't so much but I just have too. I guess it's just me having the need to feel clean everyday, lol. But I will go a day once in a while without washing and I notice when I do wash it the day after that it's so much healthier and not so dry. Especially now in the winter, it feels so dry and staticky! I wish I could go like some though a couple days but my hair gets oily so I can't.

In my case, I wash it everyday becuase on my way to work I do take a commute ride. Jeepneys,tricycle and pedecabs. So my hair is more exposed to vehicle foams, dust and dirt. But I have tried skipping a day to wash it, sad to say I didn't work out. It only adds more heat on my head. I would say that it isn't advisable to wash them daily but I think it all depends on you. When you feel like washing it then you can directly decide it.

I agree with you . I wash my hair every alternate day. When i was younger, my hair was less oily and even a wash twice a week was enough. Now i MUST wash it once every other day or i have a terrible hair day at work and i end up feeling low all day !

I think it depends on the individual's hair. My hair is very dry so washing every day would only do damage. On the other hand, my best friend has very oily hair, before the day is over it's ready to lay flat from the natural oils on her scalp..so she should wash daily, and probably 2 times in one day if she has a date and does not wish to wear it up.

I wash mine every day, if I don't I feel icky the entire day. If I am sick and don't take a shower my hair looks really greasy so I wash it every day =) Maybe I should give it a break sometimes-besides when I am sick.

Well it depends on your hair type some dryout and break more easily than others while some people have very oily hair and therefore need to wash their hair every day. But for normal or dry hair I think skipping a day are two is preferable if not required for healthy hair. I have very dry weak hair so I wash it once a week.

I saw a sort of documentarie that stated that if you wash your hair to often it messes it up and that it's best to wash your hair one day yes one day no, it has something to do with the humidity that accumulates in the hair, I watched it quite a wile back so can't remember the details. I usually wash my hair one day yes 1 day no unless it's really oily as sometimes there's days it just seems to get dirtier then others! I also heard 2 in 1 shampoos are bad for your hair and when rinsing conditioner you should use slightly cold water for a better result.
