Stop washing hair or keep it to an absolute minimum?

Question

I have dry hair that does its own thing, never stays in a style and lacks life. But i did an experiment a few weeks ago and stopped washing my hair for a week and the results were not greasy hair but hair that took minimal effort when i got up, was thicker and looked in better condition than when i regularly wash it. I am thinking of doing this again what are your views, have you tried this? xx

Answer 1

you may have been washing it too often and that was the problem. i have heard overwashing as well as shampooing in general is actually bad for the hair becuase it strips the hair of its natural oils but you will have to do something to clean your hair because rinsing doesnt always do it. if you dont want to shampoo at least use a decent moisturizing conditioner, this at least will help get some of the muck off but not dry your hair out.  

Answer 2

Wow I would never be able to not wash my hair, it would get really horribly greasy. But do whatever works for you.

It's never a good idea to wash your hair too often.  A lot of people first of all don't know that you can get lice that way- they like clean hair b.c it's easier for them to crawl through !   I would say that washing your hair once every week is just fine, and absolutely nothing to worry about.
