.. I'd be scratching like a dog with too many fleas.  I can barely make it a week, much less six months.  Hey, if it works.  Great.  Sniff check indeed!

itz not good to not wash ur hair 4 six months as the dirt and stuff will clog ur scalp up and prevent it from growing ur scalp needs to be clean and free of dirt

I wash my hair once a week. But there have been times where I had to wash it maybe twice a week because of product build up...
Love your imperfections they are what makes you unique.

I shampoo my hair once per week, and co-wash on a average of two to three times per week.

I wash my hair every two weeks.  I've been doing that for years and it works very well for me.  In the summer months I wash once a week.

I wonder what a sniff test would ah.... say..lol
 
however, she may be taking care of her scalp somehow, without washing her hair and not giving you the full low down.
 
i wash my hair 2x a week. mid week wash is co-wash. weekend full do with deep conditioner, etc.
 
Just find what's right for you.

When I don't intend on being cute, I wash my hair every day with conditioner.  I'm not good at moisturizing, so I figured this could aid in my neglect.  If I'm wearing my hair straight (cute).. then its once a week..but I prefer every day..

I wash a lot..almost every day but typically every other day.
My hair grows REALLY fast..about 1 and a half inches per two months..it's crazy.

In the winter I wash once a week. However, in the summer it may be often. It depends on what you decide, but I can not go 6 months without washing my hair.

Her hair will grow regardlesss, but i wouldn't recommend washing 6 months at a time.
what does she do inbetween washes?
 
Hopefully, you find what works for you.

How often you wash your hair is a matter of personal preference. 6 months of not washing your hair is out the box thats for sure, different strokes for different folks I guess. I wash my hair 1-3 times a week.

I try to wash my hair only once per week but sometimes end up washing 2x per week or just do a CO wash in between washings.
