Who here washes INfrequently?

[frankie]

I started washing my hair every 2-3 days shortly after joining LHCF. So now I think that once a week, is infrequent for me. But, given that I'll officially be at 16 weeks post-relaxer tommorow, the less manipulation-the better. When I wash my hair I either air dry it in a ponytail or braid it in 4 cornrows, and wear the braidout style.

Lately, I've been washing my hair every two or three weeks with no problems.

I used to wash once a week, but I was really drying my hair out. Now that I've switched to 2x a week, my hair holds moisture better.

I fell off of my infreguent washing bandwagon. For some reason I just can't resist the urge not to wash my hair?!?! I guess it just seems like my hair is getting too dry after one week has passed.

yeah... it's every 2 to 3 weeks for me...the less i manipulate my hair, the less it sheds and the more it grows (at least it seems that way)....LOL....i now mix tea tree oil and peppermint oil into my oil formula to help keep my scalp clean...

The scalp build up shouldn't be a problem because when I wash I make sure to scrath the surface well and get all of that dandruff out /images/graemlins/swordfight.gif

Ditto, The less manipulation the better and I totally agree with scratching the scalp. It really helps lift away scalp debris.

Now that the seasons are changing I think I will have to cut back to once a week. I just can't get my hair to airdry at night anymore...it isn't warm enough.

I guess I can do a roller set on Sunday's and try to wrap it and towards the end of the week I can do a flexi-rod set and wear a bonnet at night and if it doesn't all hold I guess it will be a pony tail or bun from Thurs....till Sunday comes again.

I wash once/week now, but as it gets colder, I'm slowing down to once every 2 weeks. I'm always scared of catching cold by frequently washing during the winter. Plus, I'm about to braid this thing up in late October, so this less washing thing will be easy /images/graemlins/grin.gif And as a natural, I'm feeling you on the benefits of little manipulation.

Shameful admission: I washed my hair exactly twice during the 8 weeks between my last 2 touchups. I MIGHT try every 2 weeks this go 'round, depending on how much build up I get from Surge UltraMax.
