    I tend to wash my hair every other day but since it's summer and I recently put semi-permanent dye in my hair I'm leaving about 1 3/4 days in between washes. Which means washing my hair at like 3am lmfao.

    Depending on the style I'm keeping my hair in I wash it anywhere from once a week to once every three-four weeks.

    My hair is extremely curly, so it's healthy for me to not wash it as often as everyone else. And if I do wash it everyday, I'll only use conditioner to keep it soft.(:

    My hair is fine and pretty straight naturally, and I don't dye it. I usually have to wash my hair every day because it gets super oily and unmanageable when I sleep on it.

    Sometimes it will look presentable, though; and the roots won't look too greasy. If I don't have any dry shampoo on hand to fix that, I'll take a little baking soda in my fingers and work it into the hair at my scalp. It probably works better for people with lighter hair colors; I have light brown hair. I'll pull it into a bun, then, and tease and pin my bangs.

    My hair gets greasy fast so I wash it practically every other day, year-round. I have dyed hair currently, but I'm getting it bleached tomorrow.

    I wash my hair everyday because it's light and if I don't wash it everyday, it gets greasy and gross. But I don't shampoo it everyday. I usually do that every other day but I put conditioner in it every time I wash it in the morning.

    Sigh. The agony of living with extra greasy hair. Sometimes just washing with water doesn't work for me because the oil on my hair is still there.
    Yeah. I've tried just washing with water because someone said that washing with product everyday damages hair, but it didn't work for me. My hair ended up being oily and gross the next day, so I just decided that I could wash my hair with conditioner the times I don't shampoo it.

    i have a super short haircut/ pixie cut and i can usually go every other day with washing it (without feeling really nasty) but if i had a little more self confidence i think i would only have to wash it every four days. I know that from weekends spent cooped up in my room alone. tehe

    Conditioner has surfactants(detergents used to clean hair) in it also, but not nearly as much as shampoo. Try using a volumizing conditioner every other day. They are light and won't weigh your hair down with heavy moisturizers.

    I wash my hair every day; otherwise it looks so greasy and gross ugh... I wish I could go every other day - it's supposed to be healthier for it I've heard.

    i used to have this thing where i'd wash my hair all the time bc i would feel like i was literally filthy. i think it had something to do w/ my mild ocd like i swear i had it or something. i'd constantly feel like i was living in filth, like my skin would just be disgusting. i'd wash my hair a lot bc i felt like if i didn't, i'd get lice or something of the sort & it's really refreshing to just stray in the shower w/ excruciatingly hot water 9or maybe it's just me)

    but anyway, i have calmed down a bit & now shower every other day though i do have day's where i shower twice or something of the sort, more so everyday if i'm on my period bc that's nasty & i hate feeling nasty.

    seeing to it that i'm a maniac in the shower, i'm thinking of ordering that wen product just to try it out. has anyone tried that? idk...

    I wash my hair like once or twice a week. If I sweat a lot I'll wash that day but if it's a regular day meh, it'll live if I skip a couple of days.

    Now that I've bleached my hair, it doesn't get nearly as greasy in the same amount of time that my non-bleached hair did. I probably wash it every two or three days.

    I wash my hair nearly every day, and always after I go swimming.
