I’m confused is it better to wash less often or more often? Help!

  • 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
