Thank you motherhood!! My hair is always greasy now. Yes, I wear hijab ;) that's like a hat! But I don't wear it at home so I need to shower daily. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-skip-a-day-of-showering#post-791621 Fri, 17 May 2013 13:54:49 +0000 ladyfingers 791621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Even if I shower every day, I don't wash my hair every day. I have curly hair (though fine) so I can usually get away with one day without washing. But if it's really gnarly or I go a third day, I pin it back (it's too short for a pony).</p> <p>I can't skip a day of showering though if I'm going to work, I'll feel too nasty. And if I skip it and am not working, I don't bother doing anything with my hair. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-skip-a-day-of-showering#post-790674 Fri, 17 May 2013 09:57:13 +0000 GrapeCrush 790674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't wash my hair everyday as it is, it usually goes into a pony tail. I used to use a dry shampoo spray(can't remember the name) and it worked pretty good. since having DS though, my hair isn't as oily </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-skip-a-day-of-showering#post-790661 Fri, 17 May 2013 09:53:40 +0000 MsLipGloss 790661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: Then dry shampoo will be your best friend! If it were me, I would apply the dry shampoo before bed (and after your face care routine), and then again in the a.m. as needed for touch ups! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-skip-a-day-of-showering#post-790626 Fri, 17 May 2013 09:46:01 +0000 spaniellove 790626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You guys have convinced me to look into dry shampoo! My issue is that my hair has tons of volume on the 2nd day but right around my face it starts to look greasy (especially b/c I moisturize with emu oil at night). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-skip-a-day-of-showering#post-790612 Fri, 17 May 2013 09:43:35 +0000 pl0508 790612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tease the roots and pull it half up or in a pony! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-skip-a-day-of-showering#post-790610 Fri, 17 May 2013 09:43:16 +0000 lindseykaye 790610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another vote for Suave dry shampoo (smells AMAZING). But honestly my hair is really thick and my scalp is dry (I suffer from some serious dandruff if I don't keep up with things) so I actually can't shampoo everyday or it would be awful. I probably only shampoo every 3-4 days. After day 1-2 I put it in a ponytail or bun, but it's less for the roots and more for the rest of my hair that starts to loook frizzy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-skip-a-day-of-showering#post-790595 Fri, 17 May 2013 09:40:59 +0000 mrsjazz 790595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have to worry about my hair. I don't have the type of hair/scalp that gets oily or greasy and I wash my hair about once a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-skip-a-day-of-showering#post-790592 Fri, 17 May 2013 09:40:16 +0000 Alivoo01 790592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I shower daily, but don't always wash my hair. Depending on how oily it is, I'll either put it up in a pony tail or use dry shampoo on the roots. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-skip-a-day-of-showering#post-790590 Fri, 17 May 2013 09:40:13 +0000 Mrs. Stroller 790590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put baby powder in it (and try to get it in enough so that my hair isn't white!) pull it back and sometimes wear a headband too. It gets so greasy by the evening though. Ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-skip-a-day-of-showering#post-790580 Fri, 17 May 2013 09:38:56 +0000 Anagram 790580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only wash my hair every other day. That means on days I don't wash, I still blow out my dry hair with my round brush for about 6 minutes in the morning to get out weird sleeping kinks and frizziness.</p> <p>So I blow dry my hair every day, even though I only wash it every other day.</p> <p>My hair/scalp is dry. It's gotten sliiightly more oily in pregnancy, but growing up, I could have washed once a week and it would have been fine. It just didn't get greasy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-skip-a-day-of-showering#post-790534 Fri, 17 May 2013 09:30:20 +0000 sera_87 790534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pony tail or clip half up half down. </p> <p>I'd recommend using dry shampoo in your case though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-skip-a-day-of-showering#post-790523 Fri, 17 May 2013 09:29:01 +0000 MsLipGloss 790523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dry shampoo! And, if I know the night before that I am not planning to shower, I put dry shampoo in before I go to bed, and my hair looks fab in the a.m.! I can get away with dry shampoo in the a.m., but the nighttime application is definitely best!</p> <p>ETA: I love Dove (a tip from HBers!) and Oscar Blandi </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-skip-a-day-of-showering#post-790517 Fri, 17 May 2013 09:27:57 +0000 Running Elley 790517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wear a hat. I used to wear it up but now it's too short so a hat it is! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-skip-a-day-of-showering#post-790512 Fri, 17 May 2013 09:26:32 +0000 runsyellowlites 790512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dry shampoo and I normally will wear my hair up in a ponytail then messy bun/top knot. I only wash once a week.... From my understanding the less you wash they less oily your hair will become, mine has stayed pretty true to this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-skip-a-day-of-showering#post-790503 Fri, 17 May 2013 09:24:51 +0000 wahine08 790503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also, I've used LOTS of dry shampoo and baby powder- the suave works the best for me! And it's cheap/smells good! Just make sure it's about a foot away when you spray. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-skip-a-day-of-showering#post-790498 Fri, 17 May 2013 09:24:05 +0000 wahine08 790498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have terribly oily hair so for my clean hair to stay somewhat decent for another day, I'll do the following: I will blow dry it, curl it and then spray some Suave Dry Shampoo to my roots (YES, while it's STILL clean!) and brush it through.. It will stay manageable through the next day! The curling helps because I don't touch it as much.. and it also kind of disguises any oilies.</p> <p>I use a 1in barrel wand, curl mostly the ends and brush it out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-skip-a-day-of-showering#post-790488 Fri, 17 May 2013 09:22:11 +0000 DillonLion 790488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pony tail. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-skip-a-day-of-showering#post-790487 Fri, 17 May 2013 09:22:05 +0000 MrsKoala 790487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put baby powder in my hair. That gets rid of the oily roots and then I put it up. No one is the wiser! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-skip-a-day-of-showering#post-790481 Fri, 17 May 2013 09:20:44 +0000 spaniellove 790481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>...what do you do with your hair?</p> <p>As much as I'd like to try going a day without a shower, the thought of my unshowered hair is scary! </p>
