I need to wash mine every morning because it's so fine - it gets greasy really quickly. Occasionally, I get up late and don't have time to wash my hair and on those days I use dry shampoo (and it looks and feels nasty all day).

For does-ethnicity-affect-this purposes, I'm blonde hair, blue eyes and greasy head!!!

Before baby, I washed my hair every day & flat ironed it. I have super thick, naturally wavy hair that got thicker & tighter curls during pregnancy. So far, it's stayed that way!

Most days, my hair is up in a ponytail so I can get away without washing it every day. If I flat iron my hair, it gets greasy within a day.

I avoid a lot of styling products now, too, which has made a huge difference in my hair!

Every morning before leaving the house. People have said to me, if you leave it a couple of days it starts to self clean, but I've never believed that!

I can wash it every other day but the second day I would have to wear it up. If I plan on wearing my hair down then I have to wash it everyday

For years I was an every other day shampoo-er and my hair dresser encouraged me to wash it less often. I always figured my hair would be too greasy after the second day. During pregnancy I trained my head to not produce excess oil and now I'm an every 3-4 day shampoo-er. Saves on a ton of blow dry time when I only have to do it a couple times a week.

I have a lot of thick wavy hair.

I wash mine every other day, typically, because I work out. I sweat way, way too much. Otherwise I can go a third day with a ponytail, headband, and dry shampoo. But during the summer, I sweat so much, I have to wash my hair every time I work out, so it ends up being about 4x/week.

I was it everyday because otherwise it'll get really oily and gross.

In the summer time, I wash my hair daily because it gets super oily. In the winter time, I can get by with washing my hair every 2-3 days. Love it!!

Every day

Before LO i would wash it every morning. If she doesnt wake up early or if my hair looks greasy I will wash it.

Once every couple of days, unless I go swimming. Then I wash it immediately afterwards. If I just get sweaty, I will usually rinse it and put in some conditioner.

But...I wouldn't say I look like a model in a shampoo ad on a regular basis. I just don't care that much to spend more than a few minutes wrangling it into something vaguely presentable. On the oily/greasy front, you can use dry shampoo or cornstarch around the roots, although in my experience, both seem to result in massive build-up, so wash really carefully when you do shampoo.

Every 2-3 days. I used to be able to go 3-4, but after day 2 now, it looks too gross and I have to wash it. I never wash it on consecutive days though, my hair is too dry for that.

Every 2-3 days, helps that my hair is in a ponytail everyday.

@Sugar.Biscuit: Oh yeah, my African-American students used to think it was the strangest thing that I would wash my hair daily and ask if I wasn't completely ruining my hair (I'm Asian).

@spaniellove: Ha. Yup. When I was little and I found out that some of my friends' hair got oily I was so confused.

@Sugar.Biscuit: Yeah. Pretty much why I never participate in many of the hair threads because I'm in the minority as far as hair type. I've had my hair permed (relaxed), braided, locked, twisted, and now it's in a short fro. I wash more now because it's easy but usually once a week or every other week depending on the weather--in the summer I will wash more and winter I will wash less since my hair takes so long to dry.

Pre-pregnancy, every other day. Pregnancy has made my hair AWESOME and thick but a little dry, so I might go every 3 days now. I hope it stays like this!

I usually wash it every 2-3 days. When I do, I only shampoo the roots + 1-2" (basically everything that wouldn't be in the tail part of a ponytail) and I only condition the tail part of the ponytail. When I rinse the shampoo it flows over the rest of hair so it's getting some soap without overloading it.

Then once a month or so I do an apple cider vinegar rinse.

I was reading something the other day (in Real Simple maybe?) that said if you need to wash your hair often you should wet it, put conditioner in FIRST, don't rinse, apply shampoo and THEN rinse it all out.

My hair gets greasy and gross if I don't wash it. Plus I work out every day so my hair gets stinky from the sweat.

I wash my hair every single day without fail. Even if that means getting up at the butt crack of dawn to do it. I don't feel human unless I've showered & washed my hair. I'm completely jealous of you all hat can get away with doing it less! My hair is blonde, fine & kinda curly which I usually straighten.
