How often do you wash your hair?

[Sha76]

I was wondering am I the only hair wash-a-holic out there. I love to wash my hair. I wash it every other day. Right now, but trying to wean myself down to 2 times per week or every 3 days. It's hard work for me. I don't blow dry just air dry into a ponytail on most days. If I have a special function I need to go to I will flat iron it into place.

I do find washing it often helps keep the itchies gone and my scalp can breathe easier.

How often to you guys wash your hair?

 

[caribeandiva]

yep, frequent washing helps me keep the itchies away. that's why i do it 2x a week.

 

[Dark&Lovley]

Once a week for me although sometimes I'll wash 2x's

When I first discovered LHCF and began to lurk, I started washing my hair every other day.

Now, I wash it once a week...ish. Like now, I took down my twists last night so that I could wash it today. But it just hasn't happened. I took a nap instead!

 

[Namilani]

I usually wash once a week. But depending on how dry my hair is or how much product build-up I have, I may wash twice or throw in a co-wash. Back when I was jumping on everbody's bandwagons I was washing twice a week and co-washing frequently in between! I'm SO glad those days are over!! I was a crazy little hair freak!! My hair is also thanking me !

 

[fiasca]

I wash 2-3 times a week

 

[Aveena]

I wash once a week BUT I co wash 2x week. So, my hair is wet 2-3 times a week.

 

[KhandiB]

Ever since I started blowdrying again, every 2 weeks

 

[dlewis]

I wash twice weekly.

 

[BronzyBella]

I shampoo wash once a week
...I've just started to try my hand at full air-drying.

 

[KiniKakes]

Wash and DC once per week, con-wash once per week. So a total of 2x per week.

 

[FlawedBeauty]

i wash everyday usually. i don't go any longer than one day w/o washing anymore. before joining the forum in sept, i was washing like 2x a month...ewwwww! it was because i was afraid to wash because of it supposedly making my hair dryer

 

[Summer_Rain]

Can i be trifiling for a moment and say that before LHCF I'd go months without washing my hair. OR I'd only wash after I relaxed

I wash weekly now, and for the most part - air dry with my hair pulled back into a phonybun.

 

[Allandra]

I wash my hair once a week. Sometimes when I get lazy/busy, I'll wait two weeks.

 

[preciousjewel76]

Wash and DC once per week, con-wash once per week. So a total of 2x per week.

Same here. I used to only wash (w/poo) once a week, but I feel that my hair is responding well to an extra cowash between shampoos.

 

[B_Phlyy]

I co wash daily and use shampoo once or twice a week, so I picked the last option.

 

[angelita842002]

I shampoo once a week and cowash every other day or every day. My hair is thriving on it.

 

[rdm]

I wash and condition once a week. But, I am going to try washing every 5 days with a rollerset....of course.

I have a cousin who washes everyday. Her hair is short and brittle. Reason? That curling iron!!! She loves using that HOT cutrling iron every day. I keep trying to tell her and she complains that her hair wont grow....

 

[alexstin]

Anywhere from weekly to every other week. Washing 2x a week gave me more growth than I desired. I guess that sounds a little wierd on a hairboard.

 

[thesweetone]

I wash 3x per week, but I don't use shampoo. I use an herbal hair wash instead, followed by a moisturizing conditioner.

 

[prettywhitty]

Once to twice a week in the fall/winter, three times a week in the summertime.

 

[deltagyrl]

2 x per week.

 

[breezy]

Wash and DC once per week, con-wash once per week. So a total of 2x per week.

I do the same.

 

[lana]

I wash once a week to every 7-10 days. I try to stretch my washes out because I blow dry.

My sister washes once a month. I have shoulder length hair and she has brastrap length hair.

 

[Catina72]

I started out washing or con washing 5 days out of the week. My hair thrives better with less manipulation so I now wash 2x per week, one of which includes deep conditioning with heat cap for 20-30 min.

 

[isioma85]

I tried a daily washing challenge, and I really liked it, but my schedule will definitely not allow that. So I've cut down to 2-3 times a week, airdried.

I just got a Dominican blowout, and in an effort to keep the style I didn't wash at all for a week. Hated it! My hair is begging me for a good co-wash now, it's all brittle and 'dusty' looking , I didn't realise how much the co-washes were helping my hair until I stopped. Best believe I'll be massaging my strands with some sexy conditioner tonight!

 

[locabouthair]

once a week.

 

[chocolatesis]

I wash twice a week for first 4 wks after a touch up, then once a week from then until the next touch up. My newgrowth doesn't respond well to anything.

 

[camellia]

I wash my hair 2 to 3 times a week. I deep condition at almost every wash, unless I'm in a super rush.

 

[ak46]

I wash my hair once a week unless I have braids in, then I wash every 1-2 weeks.
