It’s a myth that washing hair everyday is bad. It’s different for everyone, we all have different hair types. For some ppl, it’s bad to wash everyday. For others, it’s perfectly healthy to do so. For me, I’ve washed my hair everyday since I was a toddler and it is silky, shiny, and soft with no frizzyness or split ends.

[@hayatidk]

Preach. I wash my hair every other day bc I have genetic issues w oiliness (as does every other woman in my extended family), and if I ever mention it, everyone w naturally normal or dry hair will immediately hone in on me to tell me my hair is oily bc of how frequently I wash it, and that I should only wash it like once or twice a week. If you’ve never had naturally oily hair you have no clue how to deal w it. I’ve tried going longer stretches between washes and I developed seborrhea, my derm told me I had to go back to washing it every other day.

[@olgarodionova27]

I have oily skin type and my hair is naturally straight. I used to wash my hair every day but not even half way through the day my hair would get super greasy and oily. So one day I decided to not wash my hair for a month so I could teach my scalp to not produce so much oil. And now I only wash my hair once a week and I love how healthy, shiny, and non-greasy my hair looks. Point of the story? It all depends on your skin type and your hair texture/type.

People tend to forget that the actual n main reason of shampooing is not silky ness shinyness etc, the main reason is to clean our heads, similarily how washing face isnt about fairness pimples pores, its about cleaning the face, how many times you do it n what other things you do to your hair depends on your hair type

[@iamkrisx]

So true. I am one of those people that can not wash my hair everyday because I have dry scalp and curly hair. I have a medicated shampoo that my dermatologist prescribed me. To keep as clean as possible I try to do what women used to do back in the day: I keep it in an updo and wear hats and scarves. If I wear my hair down I have to wash it a lot and my scalp turns into a burning, dry, red mess. Keeping my hair protects it from the discusting polution and tobacco and dust in the air. I also sleep with a vintage inspired bonet. So my advice to people with dry scalp and hair that can not wash their hair every day is try to keep it protected and away from the face. If your scalp does not produce enough oil to make the scalp dirty, protect the rest of tour hair from actual dirt and polution.

It grinds my gears how many people on the Internet are patronising about people washing their hair “too much” which makes it oily and claiming everyone can train their hair to last longer between washes. I’ve been trying to train my hair to last three days for the past ten years and it just isn’t happening (can barely last two days). Genetics has way more to do with oil production than wash frequency. Also I don’t think a lot of this crowd realise that their hair actually smells pretty funky from their precious ‘natural oils’. This video has finally validated me that actually maybe my hair does need a daily wash after all.

[@futureivygirl]

The funky comment was a little to far but besties that I totally agree. It has to do with genetics and your hair type. Most African Americans wash their hair once a week, while some eh white people tend to wash theirs daily. It’s all about you, in fact I think the people who created the rice water thing (I forgot what nationality they are) only wash their hair once a month and they don’t even use soap or shampoo yet their hair is beautiful

[@madinp1177]

@@futureivygirl I’m 100% talking about other white women though. Black and other women of colour (and men ofc) absolutely do not need to wash their hair that often. I will NEVER comment on their wash frequency because I am lily white and have no idea the effort that goes into maintaining the texture that they are born with. They know what works best for their hair. All power to them for washing their hair less frequently and preserving the health of their waves/curls/kinks/whatever. Again, my comment was not racially charged. I am talking about other WHITE WOMEN. White women with fine, naturally straight hair deciding they need to wash their hair at the same interval as black women…….???? Because they’ve decided they have ”trained it”? They are deluding themselves a lot of the time because it really smells and looks bad dude. (They produce way more oil than someone with curly hair would so it catches up to them way quicker than it would to a POC with textured hair). Yet they patronise me for washing mine “too often” even though I’ve been naively trying to “train” my hair for years and it simply hasn’t worked. These same white women will literally have hair that smells dirty to me, despite social distancing, even if it looks OK from all the dry shampoo they use. I notice that all of the black or mixed women I’ve discussed this with IRL don’t actually give me the same advice because they know that they have very different genes to deal with and what will work for them will not work for me lol

you can still condition your hair between wash cycles to keep the smell! i couldn't get used to not washing my hair every day bc of the grease and smell but conditioning took care of both of those

[@mish375]

@@madinp1177 It's all in the genetics. And there's even diversity within racial and ethnic groups. I have to wash my hair every day. If I leave it a day then it gets too oily and greasy. My mom is the same way. I have very thin, fine hair that's delicate. I can't even use a brush to comb, I can only use a pick/thin comb because if I don't, my hair gets ripped out. As such my scalp gets very greasy easily and I develop bad dandruff quickly if I skip a day. We're white. But I've known other white people that can go a week or 4 days without washing their hair and they can be fine. Genetics can be different for everyone.

It really depends on whether you have oily or dry scalp type and where you're living. I tried to wash my hair once a week for a long period of time. Just to see if it can change the amount of oil my head produces. And it only causes my hair more greasy, more hair loss and really itchy! Then I returned back to wash my hair every two days. My hair always starting to look oily on the third day if I didn't wash my hair the night before. I have combination skin type and live in subtropical area. And the water matters too. I use soft water in Taipei, which is where I'm living. My hair is always shiny and healthy. But once I went to Australia or Spain, where uses hard water. It always makes my hair became really dry and hair loss.

@@mattkavelli hard water has a lot of minerals, those minerals will basically grab the oil and stay there which is why most ppl in hard water areas have more build up and need to wash it twice to make sure the shampoo actually removes the oils.

Hard water is great to drink but horrible for everything else.

[@natalieh8023]

I used to swear that if you washed your hair every day the scalp tries to make up for it by producing more oil. Unfortunately I developed dandruff from having an oily scalp since I wasn’t washing my hair enough. I went from washing it like every four days to every other day now. Keep in mind your hormones can be a factor.

When I was younger as in under 35, I needed to wash my hair everyday. As my hormones changed with babies my hair got curlier!!! I had to take a different approach and started washing every other day. I always have to condition as my hair get dry. Now I am going through menopause (thankfully with no hot spells) and I find I can go three days max. What oils do you brush through your hair? I want to try but not sure which to get, what brand?

I have very oily skin even on my scalp. I'm actually scared to to put more oil on my scalp just to have my hair look more healthy. So I'm stuck with the choice, do I want acne with slick and healthy hair or do I want clear skin with dry, frizzy hair.😬 Because I know some of the oils on my scalp will make its way onto my face.

She has the same accent as me its always funny when people can't understand us even when we talk slower or try and over pronounce our words to make it easier for people to understand What she was was the first shampoo gets out products and pollutants The 2nd shampoo actually cleanses your scalp

[@tiarezavaleta8850]

Well, I think she should say it is not a rule of thumb, and I hope people don't take it like that. It depends on your level of activity, enviroment and the products you apply on your hair. If I exercise or style with cream, I wash it the day after tomorrow, two times with a shampoo containing strong cleaning agents (you could call it a detox). But if I was indoors, chilling and didn't style my hair I can stay 3 days without washing it and use a more gentle shampoo when I wash my hair.

When you are young and your scalp has more oil, you wash it more often, at least twice a week. When you get older, once a week for old lady's head because it is dryer. It obviously depends on your head.

I wash my hair once every 2 or 3 weeks. Depends how I feel like. Sometimes once a month. And my hair is pretty healthy. I put olive oil before I wash my hair twice, then I put in hair mask and then condition it. After my hair wash session I put hair serum.

[@traceej4685]

Gina Galderio it depends on your hair type and hair porosity. For instance since I’m biracial I can only wash my once a week. Any more than that then my hair would break. My hair retains and releases moisture at different rates. I also stay away from shampoo and conditions with no sulfates or parabens and I don’t use hairsprays or other style products that can leave residue or buildup. Once you learn more about you hair you can know how to care for it properly.

[@katecogs5567]

Hallelujah!! ‘THIS’ is exactly what I’ve been saying all my life - it’s about washing my scalp, not necessarily my hair. My face is oily and I wouldn’t wash it once a week, so why would I my hair? My skin is oily and my skin doesn’t stop at the hairline - it continues over my scalp too so I wash my face twice a day and my scalp once a day. It makes me laugh to see people’s faces when I say I wash my hair daily, as if I’ve just said I wash my hair in dog poo!! 🤣 We’re not all the same and oily hair isn’t always about over washing, it’s a genetic hormonal issue for some. Fine straight hair, like mine, produces more oil and the oil slips down the silky hair more easily than someone with curly hair or thicker hair - their oil stays at the top of their head. Lord knows I’ve tried to wash once a week for nearly a year and I just ended up being miserable, had gross hair and scalp acne. I’ve washed mine daily since I was 20 - I’m now 62 and have shiny healthy hair and scalp too. I use natural shampoo with no silicones, parabens, chemicals or oils, I don’t use conditioner as makes my hair flat but do condition once a week, I use no hair products except rarely aloe-vera gel, I let my hair air dry but the occasions I need to dry it quick I use the cold setting only on my dryer. Your hair and scalp is personal to you, and what works for each of us is individual. Thank you for this - I’m saving this video to show those who scathe at us daily hair washers 🤗❤️

[@jealous6434]

This is exactly me. I wash it 2 times sometimes bc i also turn alot in my sleep and that friction causes my hair to be greasy when i wake up sometimes, i tried to train my hair for a year by washing it 2 times a week and i got so much scalp acne. My scalp doesn’t get irritated if i wash it 1/2 times a day so it indicates to me that I actually need it. My hair has always been healthy (to the point hair dressers where confused as to why my hair is so healthy even though i used to straighten/blow dry it) and like you said, I started using natural soaps and my hair looks way better. I hate the ppl who swear on hair training bc they forget not everyone has an oily scalp bc of overwashing it. They literally argue to the grave with you telling you how “bad and dry your scalp must be” LMAO

[@jealous6434]

Also i do realize my hair also might be greasy bc of hard water and build up seeing as at home i have to wash it everyday but on vacation in places that have soft water i can skip a day washing and it looks fine. Though i love my natural shampoos but a clarifying shampoo once a week is needed to remove all the gunk that the minerals held onto on my scalp

[@notmyname3556]

I clean my straight hair with water everyday. Like just massage the scalp, get rid of greasiness etc. But really wash my hair with hair products every 3-4 days depends how active I've been. It does make my hair healthier, but does anyone here have better tips I can use.

[@autumngalix4616]

The oil makes sense!! I've seen a video (Ted-Ed dandruff) about how dandruff is created by these microbacteria that feeds on our natural oils (they poop out dandruff and it builds up). Since the oil is being eaten the scalp creates more oil and the bacteria keeps eating it. Adding oil that the bacteria can't eat not only stops them from creating that buildup but also allows the scalp to slow down oil production - which lessens the bacteria in the first place.
