How often should you wash your hair?

I see a lot of people saying that they wait a few days to a week in between washes.

I always thought to wash your hair every day.

    You should wash your hair every other day because you need the natural oils in your hair to keep it soft and healthy. Check out this video it really helped me. Look into a dry shampoo as well.

    I personally wash my hair 5 times a week. I have straight dark brown hair and it normally gets oily after 3 days. I read though if you have african hair wash 2-3 times a week. If you have fine hair( tends to get oily faster) wash 4-6 times a week. if you have normal straight hair wash 4-5 times a week. And if you have curly hair wash 3-5 times a week. Also if you want the healthiest hair make sure you wash your hair with natural shampoo with no bad chemicals in it.

    Don't wash your hair everyday because it will cause hair loss and become brittle ,2-3 Times a week is the best.

    Washing your hair everyday is bad for you. I wash my hair 3 times a week. Washing it everyday will cause it to fallout and damage.

    When you wash your hair everyday it actually makes your hair greasier over time. The reason for this is that when you wash your hair, you are removing all the natural oils that your hair needs to stay healthy. Your body notices this change and responds by producing more and more oil thus making your hair greasier. It is best to wash your hair every other day to help maintain a balance of the natural oils in your hair.

    I hope this helps you with your hair! If your hair is greasy I recommend using a clarifying shampoo to remove access oil (but only every other day :D).

    It depends on your hair type. But try twice or three times a week.
