Naturals: How often do you wash your hair?

[ScorpioBeauty09]

I'm curious how often my fellow naturals wash their hair as I hear a lot of people say they was everyday and others once a month or something. Thanks.

 

[HennaRo]

I conditioner wash pretty much daily and shampoo wash maybe once a week, depending on what products I use.

A good majority of naturals I've seen cowash weekly and poo once a month.

 

[pookaloo83]

I cowash 2 times a week. And shampoo as needed.

 

[yaya24]

I cowash several times a week. Shampoo only when needed (1x a week or less)

 

[DirtyJerzeyGirly]

I wash once a week.

 

[classychic1908]

I cowash once a week, I don't remember the last time I used shampoo.

 

[SimJam]

2 times a week, same as wen i was relaxed

 

[EllePixie]

Wash with a non-sulfate shampoo once a week, twice a week if my scalp feels dirty.

I cowash daily though!

I don't really use any products in my hair besides moisturizers and natural oils for sealing, so my *current* plan is to only shampoo once every 4-6 weeks or so. Since I've been wearing my hair out (as opposed to under a weave), I've been co-washing every other day.

 

[GaiasDaughter24]

I co wash daily and shampoo with a sulfate free shampoo 2-3 times a week. I LOVE the feel of a clean scalp.

I low poo twice a week in summer sometimes more because of sebum and once a week in winter cause well shoot its cold lol

 

[Ronnieaj]

I tea rinse and co-wash twice a week, and use a non-sulfate poo once every two weeks. My hair hates daily cowashing and too much moisture, so I can only cowash after a tea rinse. Twice a week is a good balance.

I WEN wash once a week...

 

[Yoshi3329]

I wash my hair with shampoo once a week (lather twice).

I conditioner wash twice a week.

Clarify and chelate once a month.

ETA: BTW, I'm transitioning...

 

[chrisanddonniesmommy]

I'm transitioning (if that's okay) and I do the following:

Co-wash 3x a week

Shampoo wash once a month to get rid of product buildup.

Ideally every two weeks or so.

Wash n go is not the business for my hair, so I need to set aside time to wash and lightly blowdry it.

 

[Fiyawerks]

I'm natural, I cowash daily...I have maybe an inch of hair though, the water feels good on my scalp, and I love to play in my curls.

 

[Fhrizzball]

I shampoo once a week or every other week. And then I cowash once a week or every other week. I rotate between the two. Now since it's so hot and humid I find I have to wash once a week and cowash in the middle of the week. So it's been twice a week concerning that I suppose...?

It's not set in stone though.

 

[winona]

Lately I have been cowashing about 2-3X a week but I poo no more than once a week

 

[ScorpioBeauty09]

Thanks ladies!!!

 

[Jetblackhair]

I wash once a week.

 

[preciouslove0x]

Once every two weeks. Its only been about a month (or four weeks or two washes) since I've done this. I have found that it has helped a lot with cutting down with manipulation (with the addition of wearing twists). I will continue to wash my hair on this schedule until my hair shows that I need to try something else. However I will begin to rinse my hair with just water a few times a week; reason being that I just started with MT and don't want protein overload to occur.

 

[curlupndye]

I cowash nightly and I just rinse in the mornings or spray with water.

 

[lovegymnasts]

co-wash once a week
clarify with baking soda and water once a month

 

[ThePerfectScore]

With shampoo only like every 1-2 weeks... I've never gone 3 weeks b/c at that point my scalp would have so much build up it would be itching something awful....


I cowash pretty much daily... as frequently as twice a day or as infrequent as every other day.

At least once a day my hair gets drenched in water, even if I don't do anything but rinse.

 

[FRESHstart101]

I wash once a week.

 

[MyAngelEyez~C~U]

I co-wash at least twice a week.

 

[Truth]

Co wash daily or every other day depending on hair style. Poo once a week

 

[danigurl18]

I wash once a week

 

[IrisDaVirus]

Shampoo every 3 days to avoid buildup from experimenting with different products

Co-wash almost everyday because my scalp sweats and itches like crazy in this summer heat.
