Is it bad to wash your hair every single day?

Question

I wash my hair every single day and if i don't, the next day my hair is really oily and disgusting. Is there a product i can use for my oily hair?

:(

Answer 1

They say it is, but its not for me.. i wash my hair and use conditioner every single day and my hair is really healthy..  my hair is just like yours, if i dont wash it, it feels really oily and looks it, also.  i cant stand it.. i would say it is bad if you use a hair dryer everyday, but i do that also.. i guess it depends on if the person bleaches their hair or puts something strong on it...  

Answer 2

well some people put baby powder in it to sop the oil. and no it is not good to wash everyday. it strips your natural oils. just try to wear your hair down the day you washed it and then on the next day part it on the side and put it in a pony tail. plus it strips your hair color faster if you do dye it.  

Answer 3

About two years ago I stopped washing my hair every day because I heard it was bad for both hair and scalp to wash every day.  At first my hair would feel weird on the day I didn't wash it, but now I think my hair has adjusted to every-other-day washing and it feels softer than ever and easier to manage.  Now the only time I wash two days in a row is if I go swimming.

Part of why your hair might be oily now is because overwashing can dry out your scalp and it will overcompensate and produce even more oil which gets into your hair.  I think it also depends on if you use lots of products in your hair.  I never use gel or hairspray, so that may also be why my hair can manage every-other-day shampooing.

Answer 4

There are plenty of shampoos that are safe to use every day. I wash my hair every day with any shampoo I want, I just don't use a lot of it. I don't lather it up so my hair is a big ball of foamy suds or anything, just enough that I know the shampoo is there in my hair.

If I leave my hair for even one day without shampooing, it becomes greasy and gross.

Answer 5

it's supposedly bad to wash your hair everyday, but i still do it everyday or else it looks really flat and limp.

Answer 7

yes, and most likely you just have to find the right shampoo for your hair. your hair has natural oils that are good for it, and you wash them off every time you shampoo. i wash my hair every two days, try no more than that (unless you really have to, like after swimming). wear a ponytail on the second day if you feel your hair is too flat. my stylist even recommended that if i'm not doing anything important (like, just staying home) that i go even for 3-4 days without washing hair. i try to stick to that, and my hair is pretty healthy.

oh and another thing, if you can afford it, don't buy the cheap shampoo from drug stores.  

Answer 8

I can't go without a day without washing at least once,

It makes me feel sticky and ew if I don't wash If your gonna wash

the second time use less conditioner or no conditioner at all,

Because I went camping alone with my cousins, they didn't

bring conditioner, it made my hair non-greasy for 3 days without

conditioner, so yes I think that's why my hair is oily
