I wash my hair twice a week. Is that bad?

Question

I was wondering if it is OK to wash it twice a week. if its not than what should I do? I want to have a healthy hair.I also heard that not washing it with shampoo at all will be better and the hair might actually grow faster. Is that true?

Answer 1

Hm...  I'd say that is too little washing in a week.  

Plus, if you are in a relationship, married or dating,... I know they would not think it great smelling your head/hair when you haven't washed it for a few days.  How do I know this?  Being able to smell someone else's head/hair when they take that many days in between washing, and I didn't even have to get too close.

Wash every other day.  I definetely believe every day is bad.

Answer 2

that's nasty!

i wash my hair 4 times a week with shampoo and losts of conditioner.

no matter wat i do i can't damage it!

Answer 3

Eh, Bitter tears must have very oily hair, or very frizzy and dry hair, if she washes that much....No, It's fine...When you wash your hair everyday, You wash the natural oils out of your hair..It's actually pretty good for your hair(Unless you get oily hair fast.)

Answer 5

It is good to wash your hair 2 -3 times a week it will keep your hair healthy. You should also use conditioner every time you wash your hair to keep it shiny.

Answer 6

I wash my med to short hair every day  because of my job.  I know you lose natural oils with too much washing.  If your hair looks clean you should be okay.  There used to be hair freshening spray too using no water.

Answer 7

yes its fine 2 wash twice aweek i wash 2-3 times a week but u need 2 shampoo and condition thats a load of rubbish that not using shampoo makes ur hair grow quicker washing it and brushing it helps it grow

Answer 8

If your hair is dry, you should only wash it 2-3 times a week with shampoo. Shampoo strips the hair of its natural oils.

If your hair is oily then you should wash it every other day.

Washing with water only doesn't take the natural oils out of your hair.

Answer 9

thats good and is actually recommended.

i wash a litle more than that(i have oily hair, stupid puberty)

but yepp thats good.

ohh and no, shampoo it when you wash, cause then your hair will get dirrrtyy.

apply conditioner mostly to your ends, and only a bit on the roots/scalp.

and you should deep condition either once a week, or once a month, depends on how bad your hair is.

good luck (:

Answer 10

no its actually good

i wash my hair like 3-4 times a week and condition and shower every day. it is bad to wash hair every day its really drying

Answer 11

I wash my hair once a week because my hair doesn't build up easily, or get dirty fast. I heard that shampoo is bad for your hair, but you gotta get your hair clean after a while.

Answer 12

No, its totally normal. I, for example, shampoo and condition my hair every other day. Just be sure to also condition your hair, it's gonna be much easier to handle it, trust me :)

P.S. if theres no need for conditioner, if you want you can buy a really good shampoo or maybe a 2 in 1 shampoo and conditioner??

Answer 13

wash it a day then the next day dont wash it and repeat

Answer 14

my salon told me to wash my hair everyday or every other day but don't blow dry it, that way it won't dry out.  

Answer 15

whoa whoa!! twice PER WEEK?? I think that you should limit yourself to once every 2 weeks. I dont know if you heard but lice LOVES clean hair.. washing it soo often is not healthy.. your not giving your hair a chance to breathe.  

Answer 16

Yes, twice per week is perfect for most people. If your hair gets greasy in between, comb through a dry shampoo - just a powder that will absorb excess oil. It doesn't absorb enough to dry your hair, though. Great stuff.

Answer 17

no that's not true. not washing your hair alot is good<< thats true but not without the shmpoo. that would just be gross. and its okay to wash your hair twice a week.

Answer 18

don't listen to bitter tears...

no, that's fine...I wash my hair twice a week, and it's healthy

I'm not sure about not washing it at all...that's pretty gross though
