Naturals: How often do you wash your hair?

[AstroQueen77]

Every two weeks, weekly, daily? What has been a good regimen for you? Do you alternate bt shampoo and cowashing?

 

[naturalTAN]

I shampoo wash about 2-3 times a month depending on what style I'm wearing. I never cowash and my regimen is in my profile.

 

[yorkpatties]

Shampoo once per week, I alternate between Jane Carter hydrating shampoo and kinky curly shampoo. I cowash pretty much daily with aussie moist.

 

[snillohsss]

Every other day. I need to have fresh hair.

 

[afrofaithful]

Once a month with mud wash, but whenever I need to I'll do a cowash.

@naturalTAN that dress that woman in your siggy is wearing is bad!! In a good way...

 

[Foxglove]

I used to at least cowash weekly and shampoo wash at least every 2-4 weeks but now I'm slacking. To stretch my time in between washes I spritz with rosewater, remoisturize, reseal, and get another 4-5 days before deciding whether to wash or remoisturize

 

[Umm Ebraheem]

I wash with shampoo every 5-7 days and will wet my hair in between if I feel I need to. My scalp reacts very badly to infrequent washings.

 

[DarkJoy]

once a week. if the eczema is kickin up, i have to cowash at least twice before the next wash to keep the irritation down. rarely do i use shampoo. mostly acv or baking soda. will try teressentials next.

 

[miss cosmic]

i don't use shampoo. i use bicarb of soda about once a month and co-wash every 5-7 days. i use a homemade spritz to moisturize between washes.

 

[NappyNelle]

I alternate shampoo bar and cowashing every week to 2 weeks.

 

[ItsMeFre]

Once a week with Tresemme natural...no co-washing here

 

[whiteoleander91]

shampoo 2-3x a week. cowash every day

 

[Rocky91]

usually once a week. If my workouts have been particularly sweaty, then i may do a midweek cowash.
but...i'm usually just too lazy so i just do the "pat ya weave" and keep it trucking. i have no time to fool around with my hair during the week-it takes forever to dry and i DON'T wash and go.

 

[Trini_Chutney]

Double post.

 

[Trini_Chutney]

I wash with shampoo once per week (usually Friday/Saturday), and will usually DC (followed by co-wash) mid-week. I'll probably wash more frequently once it starts getting hot outside.

 

[kinkycurlygurl]

Right now I wash weekly with water followed by a very dilute ACV final rinse. I'm going to start stretching my washes to every two weeks so that I can have more sebum on my hair. It felt a little stripped after my last water wash.

 

[MyCoilsGoBoing]

I wash and deep condition my hair weekly. I don't do co-washes unless my hair is braided (my hair, no extensions).

 

[justNikki]

I wash every other week with CON Sulfate free poo. I cleanse with Shea Moisture Black Soap Purification Masque on the weeks I don't wash.

 

[faithVA]

It is slowly changing over time. Last year I was washing every week with shampoo. Then I switched to washing every week with mudwash. Then the end of last year I switched to washing every other week with mudwash and the alternating weeks rinsing with water and DCing. This month I am switching over to using mudwash 1x a month and cowashing the other weeks and I will be cowashing during the week as I can get to it.

But doing something washing/cowashing every week.

 

[glamazon386]

Once a week with a sulfate free shampoo.

 

[melisandre]

I wash my hair at least once a week, maybe twice. It depends on: 1) the style I'm wearing and 2) the weather -- I like to wash my hair more often in the warmer months. I never use shampoo more than once a week, but no less than once a month... It varies.

 

[celiabug]

i try to shampoo once a week. i cowash about one a week too

 

[LuvlyRain3]

Wash every two weeks cowash in between weeks and clarify every two months.

 

[Miss AJ]

Shampoo and deep condition twice a week.

 

[Chameleonchick]

Right now shampoo every other week. Then the alternating weeks I co wash. Been doing this for about 5 months.

 

[discodumpling]

I use shampoo as needed. Sometimes it's weekly sometimes my hair doesn't see shampoo for 6 weeks! It all depends on the type of styling products that i've been using. Natural products allow me to go longer in between washes.

I water only rinse DAILY. As long as i'm working out everyday I HAVE to rinse or cowash otherwise I feel like I have bugs crawling on my scalp.

As my hair gains health even frequent conditioning is no longer necessary. If i'm trying to fix a hair issue, dryness, breakage etc..i'm DCing every 3 days at least until the problem is fixed. Right now my hair is acting right so i'm DCing every 7-10 days.

 

[natural_one]

I use Ayurvedic powders and conditioner to wash my hair every week. I can't use shampoo anymore because it was tearing my scalp up!

 

[ChocoKitty]

Once a week I wash with Borax, rinse with citric acid and DC with lekair cholesterol. No cowashing.

 

[Ronnieaj]

Wash with poo bar, mud or ayurvedic mix 1x/week, followed by DC. Depending on hair style or weather, I may cowash mid-week.

naturalTAN, thanks for reminding me that I need to catch up on this season's Shameless .

You're welcome. I thought my DVR was broken this past week because it didn't record the episode. I was seconds away from calling comcast with a 'tude before I remembered there wasn't a new one. Oh come to my Shameless thread in ET if you haven't already.
