  • Each to their own I say. i wash mine every day as thats what i am comfortbale with


  • I am the queen of the slicked back bun aka – I dont wash my hair enough. Ideally I will try to do it every 2nd to 3rd day but It doesnt always work out that way.


  • I often massage my hair and scalp just with conditioner or a mask as my hair is super dry already.


  • Apparently washing too often can actually make it more oily. I wash every two or three days.


  • A couple of times week but definitely more in summer. I think the theory is the more you wash it the more you strip it of natural oils


  • Once a week for me – any more often and it gets very greasy.


  • I was mine once per week as I have coloured hair and it makes it last longer. Overwashing will leave the scalp dry but it depends on your hair


  • I wash my hair when it dictates it. In other words if it is oily and looks drab I wash it. More so in the summer than the winter. Just look at your hair and you’ll know if it wants to be washed.


  • Interesting to read the different answers !


  • I wash my hair every 4 days


  • I wash my hair every 3 days. As my roots start to get oily and my ends go dry 🙂


  • I shower morning and night and my hair gets a clean then too. I’m a senior and its still going strong.


  • It’s actually best to wash less often as the natural oils in your hair are healthy for it and make for stronger hair. I wash no more often than once every two days.


  • Once maybe twice a week


  • Every second to third day, otherwise it gets very oily


  • Every second to third day. Any longer I find my scalp gets itchy


  • Well I always wash after I exercise!


  • I wash twice a week.


  • Every second day. I have super fine thin hair 🙁


  • I wash mine once a week and I don’t always use Conditioner because it builds up on your hair, and the other thing I found was to have different Shampoos not using the same shampoo is good, also sometimes one shampoo may not be best for your hair when you dry your hair it should look good after if it doesn’t then don’t use it anymore.
