Should you wash your hair everyday?
Last reviewed Sat 28 October 2017
By Zawn Villines   
 
Hair care is a highly personal choice. There is rarely a medical reason to wash hair at all. So the decision about how frequently to wash hair depends on a person's hair type, scalp texture, how oily the hair gets, and personal preference.

For some people, too-frequent washing can cause damaged hair and a dry, itchy scalp. For others, infrequent washing can make the hair look greasy and lifeless.

The curlier a person's hair is, the less often she should use shampoo, unless she just likes having a Halloween wig on her head.   Natural oil is in short supply for curlies, and what there is of it struggles to make it down the hair shaft.

Co-washing----washing with conditioner----is a common practice for curlies, including me.  It cleans without stripping.  I use shampoo once every 2 or 3 weeks.

My hair has gotten curlier as I've gotten older, and my forehead tends to be on the oily side, which of course transfers to my hairline, so I need to clean my hair every day.  I have started co-washing and am pretty pleased with the results.

I have stick-straight hair.  Everyday washing is a must if I want even a hint of body.

@RoosGirl

It really does clean...you can get a gentle squeak when you rinse out, but not so much that you know it's been stripped.

@Sanguine

Yep, I get that.  Is your hair oily at all?

I don't know; I wash it every day. 

All kidding aside, yes, it is a bit.

After making the mistake of reading this thread, I get the impression you three chicks look like auto mechanics.

I'd love it if I just had to wash the oil out instead of struggling to get more in.   It's never-ending.

Wait a minute, the guy who can hold forth on fashion and Louboutins thinks women all use shampoo every day?

Lame.  You better up that game, Frank.

I think you're going in the wrong direction, but that does not surprise me.

Sorry. That is what they call me. I meant vertically challenged.
