    Hair washing is the cosmetic act of keeping hair clean by washing it with shampoo or other detergent products and water. Hair conditioner may also be used to improve hair's texture and manageability. Two-in-one shampoos, which have both detergent and conditioning components, are now commonly also used as a replacement for shampoo and conditioner.

    To remove the grease from the hair, some people apply a surfactant, most usually shampoo, but sometimes soap to their hair and lather the surfactant with water. The surfactant is rinsed out with water along with the freed dirt and dust it bonds to.

    There are also dry shampoos, which are powders which remove grease from the hair by soaking it up prior to being combed out.

    Because they are natural oils that secrete from the follicle of your hair strands. And if this is left to build up; It becomes very nasty and will feel like pure olive oil or something on your hair. So we have to wash it to help balance it back out with shampoo. Also dirt gets on the hair and needs to be washed off.

    an excellent question! when we wash out hair it cleans out all of the crap thats in our hair. such as dirt and bugs. and our hair becomes greasy when we dont wash out hair. I remember the a few spikes in my hair were all hard becuase i didnt wash that day. so... yeah, there you go
