I used to wash every day, or atleast every day that I used product but lately i've been only washing my hear twice per week and noticed that it's much healthier and shinier (not greasy). I think I was overwashing and stripping the oils from my hair. Also, I dye it fairly often (premature greys) and that has really dried it out too. I try not to use product every day, only when necessary so that I only need to wash it 2 or maybe 3 times per week (of course, I shower daily and atleast rinse it off in hot water but only use shampoo 2-3 x per week now).

I've noticed a definite improvement.

I give each of my four hundred thirteen hairs a thorough cleaning each and every day.

Pretty much every day. My hair's thick, on the long side (well, on the long side compared to my professional peers, anyway) and prone to ridiculous cowlicks. If I don't wash it it tends to feel "heavier" and is more prone to stick out in absurd directions. Sometimes I'll skip washing it on the weekend to give it a break, but most weekend days I go to the gym or work out, and I always wash it after that.

i shower every day, but only wash my hair once a week at most. of course, i dont comb it either... or do anything to it but run my fingers thru it to keep the dreadlocks out. its been at least 6 months since i cut it last.

ive found my hair is straight for a day after i wash it, then it starts to curl. i perfer it curly. so do the womenz.

I think it is important to note how long you hair is. I have hair down to my shoulders and wash it everyday. I know when I had short hair once a week was fine. I'm going to try ever other day from reading this thread though.

every 2 or 3 days.. kind of on an as needed basis.

I've noticed that after my hair got trained to being washed more frequently, it took less time for it to get greasy after a shower. Now it takes almost 3 days to get greasy at all with no product.

Whenever my hair gets dirty. My hair is best 'the day after' a shampoo. Normallly, I would shampoo every 2 days.
