I have oily hair so I wash my hair everyday. However, when I color my hair, I usually go red so I do it every other day to make it last longer. Also hair color and perms dry out your hair so you can go longer without shampooing. Do you have a dry scalp?

Oh No! That's not good. Are you using a shampoo recommended by your stylist?

Well, I was but then they were doing that to my hair! and I'll tell you, they cost a small fortune! I have gone back to the store brands and my hair is normal again. I guess the change has been that I have been using a straightener on my hair and it is drying out so completely that the oils the hairdresser sells me for the ends doesn't even make much of a difference. Thank goodness winter is coming. The dry air will mean I won't need to straighten! tehehehe

I think it really depends on your hair type. If you have really dry hair you probably don't want to shampoo every day. Likewise... if you have very oily hair it may be because you are shampooing too much and your hair is trying to make up for the lost oils. I shampoo every other day and that cycle seems to keep my hair pretty healthy.

I am an every other day person myself. Otherwise, it seems too dry if I wash it more than that.

No its not, shampooing your hair daily makes it fall out and gives alot of dandruff. I have problems with my scalp.
I only use shampoo 2-3 days, the rest of the time I wash my hair but with just water and scrub really hard, it still washes it just not as vigerous as the shampoo does...I do the same with my son who also has scalp problems

Shampooing your hair daily or thrice weekly ,all depend on individual choice.Again it deoends on cultures.Some wash their hair everyday.Others once in a week.

I have very oily hair so I have to wash it every day. I've used cheap dish liquid, (any kind) on my hair all my life and NEVER had a problem and I often get complements on my hair! A lot of my friends and family are now using the cheap dish liquid on their hair. I say, (cheap) because it doesn't have all that stuff in it that the name brand kind have, such as: grease removers, oxyies, skin softeners, strong cleaning agents etc. etc.. Just plain cheap, generic dish liquid!

I will wash my hair about everyother day. The say that its alright to go a couple of days without shampooing. I have heard that from many hair dressers
