Is it true your hair grow fast when you wash it every week?
one of my friends told me that in the summer she washed and conditioned her hair every week and it grew alot.
So what do you think? ------------- Arita a.k.a Sexyyella316 |

| I wash my hair just about every week, maybe twice if I have the time. My hair has improved. It makes sense that it may improve the health of your hair, and possibly grow a lot more because your head isn't built up with products |

It's possible that your hair may grow faster by washing it more frequently. Keeping your hair and scalp clean can encourage hair growth. I know it's true in my case.
Ever since I've been Co Washing more frequently my hair growth rate has increased. ------------- *Transitioned Successfully (7-20-05~7-20-07) *100 Natural~3c/4a *Hair Goal: WSL *stretched/straighten* '08 |

ITA: I think my hair grows most when I wash every day. Hair grows better on a clean scalp. ------------- http://www.fotki.com/beautywitch - My Pics

A Co Wash is washing your hair with conditioner instead of shampoo. ------------- *Transitioned Successfully (7-20-05~7-20-07) *100 Natural~3c/4a *Hair Goal: WSL *stretched/straighten* '08 |

When I was relaxed and now that I am natural I just washed my hair after every work out. It didn't matter what style my hair was because I always styled it back. My relaxed hair was pretty long until i transferred colleges and the water was horrible...it broke off quicker than it grew. So I think it depends on the water type and location sometimes. ------------- Natural BC May 9, 2004 |

My hair appears to have grown more since I started washing (with shampoo) and deep conditioning 2x each week about 3 years ago. I read about it in Cathy Howse's book and I feel the added moisture is the key. My hair is always moisturized this way. ------------- Thick, kinky, coarse, slightly relaxed (texlaxed) 4b No heat since 07/03 Length - below BSL http://public.fotki.com/Isis33/ pw in profile Wash & deep condition 2x each week.

i think washing every week is necessary to cleanse the scalp/hair. as far as growth, i'm sure the massage is great stimulation.
i wash once a week, although when i'm stretching i get lazy and may go two weeks

| I generally wash once a week with diluted shampoo. I also will condition before and after shampooing. Since I started doing that my hair has been growing well and healthy. |
