washing your hair everyday is bad.. it actually dries it out and rips away your hairs natural oils that it needs to be nice and healthy :)

Oh go away. Some of us have thin hair and it looks greasy as heck and itches like a motherfucker if we don't wash it every day. Nobody likes to look dirty. Thank you.

She was making a valid and very true point. It does ruin your hair and then you feel you need to wash it more to keep it looking good. Now of course many people wash it every day becuase hair gets greasy easily. But you don't have to be snappy about it nor tell her to go away when she was correct. In the past water was expensive and people chose to wash less even then once a week and their hair became just as smooth and nice in appearance as freshly washed hair which is how it would naturally be if we didn't wash it.

all the people who voted 7 times or more a week are gonna have really nasty, dead hair. too much shampoo completely ruins your hair, people.

Yeah, I usually have to wash mine daily. I have very oily skin and my hair gets dirty fast. If I didn't wash it daily, I would get a lot of disgusted looks.
So those of you who don't have to wash every day, count your blessings.

I used to be the same way, but hair is definitely trainable. If you start washing it once every other night, after two weeks, it'll look just as luscious on the second day. No matter how thin/naturally greasy/gross it is. Also, if you blow dry it the second day (even if it isn't wet, blow-dry the roots) it helps to spread those natural oils out and keep your lengthy locks healthy. :)

don't do it every day, its not as healthy and your hair will look better if you just rinse and condition most days.

You shouldn't wash your hair everyday. I've asked around and twice a week seems to be the most appropriate amount. Or else it's going to start thinning and be extremely dry/brittle.

I rarely wash my hair. And yes, it's fine. No grease, no dandroff. It's fine, I don't understand why some people wash it everyday.

if you try not washing your hair every day, after a week or two your scalp will reduce the amount of oil it produces.
generally the reason people say "i have to wash my hair every day or else it's too greasy" is because your body has accelerated its production of oils to try and keep up with your daily shower routine.
i used to wash my hair every day because it would get greasy, but I tried showering every other day and within a couple weeks i noticed there was much less oil.

use baby powder, or dry shampoo. Because it really does damage your hair washing it every day. I have very oily hair so I can ONLY go every other day and your hair will get less oily the less you wash it. My hair used to look HORRIBLE on second day hair because it's oily but I put dry shampoo and it's fine secondd day!

It sucks for girls like me with extremely curly, long hair. If I don't wash it it looks really frizzy and I can't do anything with it except for putting it up and even then it looks pretty bad. But when it's freshly washed, it's gorgeous, spirals of curls.
But curly hair definitely shouldn't be washed very often so it's kind of a, "damned if I do, damned if I don't" thing.Unfortunately I have to wash my hair at least four times a week due to my schedule, but I wish I could do three.

I hate the feeling of not washing my hair for more than a day. My hair gets greasy quite quickly, if I leave it for, say, more than 2 days without washing, it looks visibly greasy and not nice! So I wash it everyday.

Definately 1-2 times a week. My hair is odd, if I wash too often it breaks and feels like hay.

I shower everyday, mostly to wash my hair. If I don't my hair gets all greasy and nasty looking.

I have curly frizzball on my head and the more I wash it, the more moisture is stripped from my hair. So I condition like everyday and wash twice a week.
