Is it really bad that I wash and blow dry my hair every night?

Yes,I read before that washing your hair everyday isn't the best, but really, how bad can it be? I try not to do this but I feel like I have to. If I don't wash my hair for one day, my hair will get greasy and oily and I hate that feeling. I use Pantene Volume Shampoo and Conditioner. Oh and also, yes yes yes I know that blow drying your hair is bad too because of the heat and stuff but I guess I blow dry every night....I went to sleep once with non-dry hair and I caught a cold.

So can you people give me some tips on how to keep my hair not so greasy after one day because if I can get a great tip, I maybe wont have to wash my hair every night.

Thanks in advance

    washing your hair every day is ok but if you keep blow drying your hair it can cause damage because you are applying heat to your hair (the more heat, the more damaged

    Yes,washing and blow drying your hair everyday is bad, it removes the Natural oil in your hair. Maybe you can try using a conditioner only if you want to wash your hair often.

    I go to beauty school,and to be honest it is bad to wash and blowdry every night! Heres some tips if your hair is oily only apply conditioner to ends and not your scalp or roots,also coloring your hair a lighter color helps minimize oilyness.Washing every night strips your hair of natural oils and will cause dryness and damage,avoid pantene it has waxes and stuff in it that causes build up and oilyness,my teacher polishes (blowdrys) her hair every other night.

    no it's fine. but blow driers can damage your hair cuz of the heat. i use a heat protectant spray before i blow dry, straighten, curl, or crimp my hair. hope this helps :)

    pfffft, it's fine.

    i have to wash (no conditioner), blowdry, and straighten my hair every day, and it's still fine.

    but if your hair's really oily, go to your doctor/dermatologist. they can prescribe shampoos that really help.
