I saw a recent survey in a magazine that said most people DO NOT wash their hair daily, for various reasons. The reasons included time constraints, hair texture, and laziness.
I probably don't wash everyday for all of the reasons mentioned.
I have very fine hair, but there's alot of it. Somehow my hair just looks better the second day. There's product in it, it's not too "soft" and flimsy, and in fact my colorist prefers I don't wash my hair before an appointment, because she says my scalp will retain the color better unwashed.
Plus, time constraints and laziness come into play. It's time consuming washing, blow drying and styling your hair everyday. So every other day I skip two steps and go right to styling.
Jonathan has a hair product called DIRT to mimic this effect for people who want that second day unwashed feel to their hair. So there's got to be some rhyme or reason to it, right?

As Imogen pointed out from Inside Out Style, there's also all different kinds of DRY SHAMPOO that absorbs oils on the hair and scalp and allows you to clean your hair without using water.

SO, let me hear from you, readers: do you wash your hair EVERY SINGLE DAY?

I need to wash every day because my hair is fine and oily. It may start out ok the next day, but a few hours into the day I can't stand the feel of it!
I don't either!
Depends on the day/night I've had before. If I've been busy and twisted my hair (shoulder length or longer and thick)(and takes what seems like forever to dry, but is probably more like 20 minutes) up the day before and it looks bad, I'll wash it. I tend to sleep with my hair up in a Scrunchee (because I like to be very sexy when I sleep! ha!) and that sometimes helps me keep a day of hair washing at bay, which saves a tremendous amount of time. I actually kind of love when I take the Scrunchee out, brush out the hair and see that I can get by with a day of not washing it!
(oh, and to complete that sexy thing, I wear a shower cap on the days I'm not going to wash it while getting cleaned up for the day!)
I wash daily. I don't care if it's bad for your hair, I hate the smell of scalp sweat.
I used to as I have fine hair that on the second day looks limp and goes toward greasiness, but then I found dry shampoo, and I now only wash every two days!
I've tried washing my hair every-other day, but don't like the way I feel on day 2.
Every day it is.
I was every day because mine is very fine and I exercise most days which means I get a little sweaty.
Nope! I wet it whenever I want to wear it down, but often just do conditioner and no shampoo.
I have curly hair that needs to be wet every morning or it looks horrid. Then, I just put product in & let it air dry - pretty low maintenance. However, just the last week I've stopped using shampoo every day in the shower and have started 'washing' my hair with conditioner every other day. I recently started coloring my hair, and wanted to help keep my color and stop my ends from getting too dry. So far, OK. I think I"m still adjusting to the whole thing & we'll see if I keep it up after a month or two.
I wash mine twice each week. I don't have to do it very often, but I do occasionally use a hair powder if I misjudged my need to wash it. It works like a charm. Then I can usually go another 2 days without washing.
Like Sal, I sometimes just wet it for styling purposes.
No I wash it every 2-3 days. Mine is extremely dry and if I wash it two days in a row, it feels like it will just break off and also puffy up all around me. It's taken me years to tame it,lol.
Every other day, is my schedule :)
absolutely not. apparently its also more eco-friendly to wash hair less :)
I'm a daily hair-washer. My hair is very fine, but also very straight and oily. It looks disgusting when I don't wash.
I wish I didn't have to. Maybe I should look into one of those dry shampoos...
My hair takes about ten seconds to wash, and, yes I do wash it everyday! :)
I never wash my hair every day even though I have very fine, oily hair. Pretty much every haircare professional I've met says it's bad for your hair to wash it daily.
To be frank, though, I wish I could! I hate having even slightly greasy hair. But if the choice is between that and damaging what little hair I have, I have to go with the greasy. :o(
I'm forever searching for the perfect shampoo. Just started using Burt's Bees and it's very promising. I'm hoping it'll end up my regular shampoo.
I have this conversation with my husband all the time!! My hair gets too dry if I wash it everyday, so
I wash every other day. My hubby thinks I'm weird and the only one that does this. I will have to make him read this blog post!
I would LOVE to not wash it every day. Lately I've been wetting it and "washing" it with conditioner a few days between washings.
How do you guys actually not get it wet at all in the shower? I'm apparently challenged while washing my legs and feet. My hair gets wet!
If I don't wash and condition my hair every day it turns into an oily, tangled mess. So yeah, I do.
I don't wash every day. It took a while to condition my scalp to this but I wash maybe every 2-3 days! 3rd day is usually a ponytail day, but I save gallons of time.
I don't wash my hair everyday,too~
Would you mind telling me which magazine you read that showed the survey.
Because I'm preparing my persuasive speech, and my topic is "We should not wash our hair everyday."
Really need you help!!
Thanks a lot!!!
