My sister swears that you have to shampoo your hair every single day but I personally find that I do so much better when I do it every other day.
Is there a correct number of days a week you are supposed to shampoo?
She is driving me nuts and with the cold weather I want to make sure that I don`t shampoo unless I have to.

Hi,
There does seem to be a lot of controversy about this topic. The right answer to this quesiton is that you should shampoo as often as your hair needs it.
I used to shampoo my hair (which is very long and so it takes me some time to wash) every day until I started having problems with my thyroid a few years ago and my hair got much more dry than normal.
I switched to every other day and that works so much better for me. I even will go every 2 days during cold days because I prefer to let my hair dry and I hate going out in freezing cold weather with damp hair. :-(
Hope that helps.
Best wishes,
Karen

Hi Tina,
I just posted today that I feel that washing my hair every other day and conditioning every day makes it shinier and more manageable. I don`t think that it`s necessary to wash hair every day. But, it all depends on the type of hair you have. Dry hair really doesn`t need to be washed every day, but oily hair probably does. Do some experimenting and see exactly what works for you.
Good luck!
Kathy

If I don`t wash my hair everyday...it gets these little grease patches in it! Yuck! I can`t stand it. So I guess I`m stuck with washing mine everyday!

Not to gross anyone out but it`s not even totally necessary to wash your whole body every day!!
It`s like Karen said - when it needs it is the way to go.
I often just rinse (sweat is deadly for hair) or use a conditioner to wash. For this purpose I`ve had a lot of luck with Nioxin Scalp Therapee...g
