Ditto to everything Syren said! Also, the less you wash your hair, the less oil it produces- your scalp adjusts to your washing regimen, so try cutting down on the washing and see what happens after a week or so. Most people over-wash their hair anyway, resulting in oil overproduction. And yes, you can use dry shampoos.

I washed my pinchbraids every other day and it was fine. Just don't 'scrub' your head - use one of those haircolor bottles with the pointed tip to apply diluted shampoo right onto your scalp and in between the PBs, work it a little with your fingers and rinse well. That way you don't pull on the attachments. Also, don't get conditioner on the roots/attachments and use a looper brush for your roots. That should make them last a long time while letting you wash your scalp so you don't gross yourself out.

I'm getting a full head of pinchbraids (with human hair) on thursday and i am worried about one thing....my head being dirty. I am so used to washing my short hair everyday and i feel like i smell if i don't wash it everyday....i've never gone more than one day without washing it.  the stylist told me to only wash it maybe twice a week....can i use something like a dry shampoo (bumble and bumble powder or PSSSSST) on days that i don't get it wet? i know it's going to get really greasy if i don't do something. thanks!
