2 Weeks Of Not Washing My Hair Challenge | Try Living With Lucie | Refinery29

[@hannahlevin3286]

True, but that also depends on your hair type and what ingredients are in the shampoo. If they are sulfates, like sodium laurel sulfate, ya, especially if combined with other sulfates and/or harsh stripping agents. However, if you have a properly formulated shampoo, especially one that is gentle and particularly hydrating, washing your hair everyday shouldn't be a problem. Just avoid harsh cleansers and silicone. I have normal hair and wash it everyday, and don't even use conditioner at all, and my hair is soft and bouncy.

She *definitely* used dry shampoo more than once during this experiment. Ber hair would NOT look that clean and have that much body. Dry shampoo causes dandruff and considering how she kept complaining about dandruff... Personally, I have very thick and wavy hair naturally, and my hair gets pretty oily after two days. My hair loses all of it's body after three days and almost looks straight along with being very flat. It doesn't matter the type of hair she has, it would've been looking *much* more oily if she didn't use dry shampoo.

Normal in the black community and it's actually healthier for your hair.

[@kensiem8252]

sw33tnycandy Not for everyone

[@sw33tnycandy]

@@kensiem8252 it's always healthier to not wash daily. When washing , you are removing natural oils on your scalp which coats the scalp and hair with healthy oils. The only reason why many people with loose curls and straight hair have oily hair is due to over washing. The body's response to being stripped of the vital oils is to produce more. Washing less will tell the body that high oil production isn't needed. It takes time for the scalp to the adjust but overall the scalp and hair is healthier with less washing.

sw33tnycandy i wash once a week. Light products and handling with a protective style. That is all I do

[@Acidfunkish]

I can easily go 3 weeks without washing my hair, with no real noticeable changes in oil, smell, texture, etc. I do this because my hair is down to mid-thigh, and wavy, so it takes a while for my oils to reach the ends of strands. It also takes a full couple of hours to wash it, and 48+ hours to air-dry. It's a process. I started changing both my skincare and haircare years ago (around 10), though, and my skin improved greatly, and my hair has grown healthier than it has ever been. Longer than that, and I do start to get some dead skin buildup. Also, close-up, dry shampoo tends to look like dandruff. It is white and flaky /powdery, after all. The reason people start feeling like they have "oily" hair after a day or two, is because they wash their hair every day or two. You're stripping your hair of all of its oils, and it needs to over produce oils in order to compensate. The same happens in skincare: if you wash your face with harsh cleansers every day, you can start to over-produce oils. And many just simply can't wash their hair every day or week. Many black people with thick, course hair absolutely cannot wash their hair that often, because 1) it takes curly hair much, much longer for oils to coat the strands, especially when it doesn't lie flat on the scalp, and 2) while their hair is very thick and coarse, it also tends to be VERY fragile and prone to breakage. It requires oils and lotions to stay moisturised and healthy, and washing more than once per week promotes damage. If you have shorter, thin, straight hair, washing every day probably won't cause any problems. If you're trying to grow out your hair, though (or already have long hair), it's generally recommended to wash your hair less frequently. Obviously, it takes a shorter time for oils to reach the ends of shorter hair, and it's cut often enough for new hair to replace old, damaged ends.

[@caitiiiieeee]

I don't wash my hair that often bc I have natural hair. Maybe every 7 or 9 days. It always has alot of oil bc it holds the curls but when I keep it like that my curls feel so good and my hair grows long and thick

Your hair didn't look bad at all!! :) Personally, I found that I can use a lot less shampoo if I "clean" my hair with hot water and massage it thoroughly before using shampoo: my scalpo feels so much better.

[@leviwakeman5673]

Vinegar and baking soda are NOT good for hair because of the pH levels being way too acidic for the hair. If you are used to washing your hair every day, your head will produce more oil as it gets stripped more often. Shampoo and conditioner that is store bought contains silicone that coats the hair and will make it feel heavier or more greasy a lot faster. If you do go without washing your hair, please at least use water on it! Anyway, I’m a junior stylist and am very focused on hair health and condition but I can always be proven wrong and am willing to listen x

[@andrelli82]

Lucie, you needed to use water during this time?? Most people can agree that sweat serves no benefit and needs to be rinsed off. Using shampoo (detergent) everyday is the problem, not water. There are mainly 3 things that make your hair dirty: 1. Sweat 2. Dust, debris, and other particles (like glitter :-) ) 3. Too much sebum (the natural oil your body produces) Rinsing your hair and scalp regularly with warm water, and brushing your hair and scalp with a full bristled brush will be enough to clean your hair daily. Using a chemical cleanser (shampoo; soap; baking soda; etc...) every 2 weeks or more clears sebum build up.

I literally can’t go more than a day without washing my hair bc of how oily it is. I can wash my hair right before going to bed and when I wake up the next morning you’re able to see oily spots.

[@johniautumn6847]

Diana Hernandez if you have just a few days that you can go without doing anything or a few days you can just not wash your hair, you can train it to not get so oily. Lots of shampoos really dry out your hair and your scalp, which makes your scalp produce more oil to compensate. You can train your hair, so to speak, to be less oily. All you need is 2 cycles of 3 days without a wash and it'll make your hair get oily less quickly.

[@DianaHernandez-ij7yh]

Johni Autumn I’ve actually tried this before during the summer where I have nothing to do besides lay in bed, although it wasn’t that exact same cycle. I would just not wash my hair until I absolutely needed to go somewhere which ended up being like 4 days and I did it again the following week but saw absolutely no difference! I tried various other methods as well like adding in more moisturizer of some sort in which I used coconut oil before bed to trick my hair into being not dry basically but that also didn’t work! At this point I just gave up and now shower every. Single. Morning 🤷‍♀️

[@427skies]

The reason curly, coily, kinky haired people do not wash their hair everyday is NOT because we produce more oil in our scalps. It's because our oils can't get down to our ends due to the twists and turns of our hair.

[@MissJessyeNorman]

PLUS, our hair NEEDS the natural oils. Stripping your hair with shampoo would strip it of those important natural oils, which make it beautiful, shiny and keep the curls intact. Plus we have A LOT, of THICK, lustrous, curly hair. The length, the thickness, the curliness, and the rate at which it loses moisture and becomes dry (which is ridiculously fast), are EACH individual factors in how much moisturizing is required. I use natural Jojoba, Argan, or other organic oils, directly on my hair (as one of many leave-in conditioning agents)--for styling, and to keep my hair nourished. Our hair is delicate, and constantly dries out otherwise. It's actually quite difficult to keep up with the conditioning needs of our hair. It's labour intensive, and expensive. My mom who is Caucasian, when her hair was it's thickest and longest--would still collect too much oil very easily. The Caucasian side of my family absolutely washes their hair essentially every day (save for the occasional lazy day--my mom certainly wouldn't leave the house without doing so). It wouldn't be my preference to wait two weeks to wash my hair. But, it wouldn't be an issue either. If I could cowash, I wouldn't notice it at all...;)

[@MissJessyeNorman]

Also, I prefer to cowash as much as possible. I still do wash with shampoo too. I just wish there weren't so much grime in the city. I ADORE getting out of the city--because then you almost never need to shampoo at all...

[@427skies]

MissJessyeNorman True. My boyfriend has thick straight hair and he doesn't wash everyday. I've never even seen his hair oily. Lol. I wash my hair every 3 days because it gets dry and needs more moisture by day 3. My forehead gets oily from my scalp though. 😂😂

[@toshatockwhissel1293]

If you want to wash your hair less and only wash it once a week, you have to train your hair. Most people are like "if I go 2-3 days without washing my hair, it gets so greasy!" But once you "train it" then you CAN go 2-3 days and it won't be greasy! Every week, increase your days. One week go 2 days, next week 3 days, next week 4 days, etc. Eventually it'll get to where you can go a week or longer without washing, and it won't be greasy. I can go 2-4 weeks without washing my hair, and it won't be greasy. My hair is WAY healthier and grows SUPER quick now!!! When I was washing it every day to every 2-3 days, I had more damage, dryer hair, slower grow rate, etc. Now it's super healthy & grows quick! And I've had numerous hair stylist comment on how healthy my hair was and asked what I used. I don't even use an expensive shampoo or hair products anymore and just use shampoo & conditioner I buy from my grocery store. So it saves me money, saves me time in the shower, have healthier hair, and it grows faster! My hair isn't greasy, gunky, smelly, looks gross, none of that. Once you train it, your hair & scalp like adjust I guess? I dunno the science or reasoning behind it. But I won't go back, I know that much! If I go back to washing my hair every 2-3 days, it goes back to being greasy, gunky & nasty. So I went back to washing it only once every 2-4 weeks. Plus if you dye your hair, the color will last longer. And when I use to bleach my hair, it actually helped it not be so damaged. Some people think I might be nuts, but I'm WAY HAPPIER with my hair!! Like I said, it's so much more healthier & grows faster, and it's not greasy or gunky or smelly. Oh, and my scalp isn't dry or full of dandruff either!

hello :) My hair has loose curls, a few months ago I washed it with only water (once a week) for 5 weeks, also brushing every other day, The first two weeks were great, but then my scalp started creating more and more of a grey-ish buildup that made my fingers greasy anytime I would massage my scalp and my hair felt more heavy. It didn't look that bad most days, and the buildup didn't get worse after a while. But it didn't get better ether and when I read it might take me up to a year till the scalp starts regulating itself completely and not create as much grey buildup, I decided to wash my hair again! And that was heaven on earth! I have to say, though, my hair felt more nourished than after any hairmask once I washed it once and from there on I only needed to wash once a week, instead of the two times a week I had done prior my little experiment. xoxo

[@amberfrazier575]

Your scalp is compensating for being stripped of its natural oils. The less you wash your hair the less oil your scalp will produce after a period of adaptation. It's fine to shower twice a day just don't use soap, or only use it on the bits. Stripping your skin of its natural oil will cause you to scar more easily as make you wrinkle sooner. I only wash my hair once every 1-2 weeks. I don't use dry shampoo . I used to wash it more. But when I stopped it took about three months for my scalp to adjust.

Also I could never pull this off in my teens and 20's. My hair was very oily but now it's not. It's balanced. Thanks for the video. It was fun to watch and also see how others do in this kind of situation.

I'm black.. I wash my hair once a month and it doesn't smell....

[@dancysmith5105]

Yeah but her Caucasian scalp is producing a ton of oil for shit to get stuck in and make it smell bad. Without dry shampoo, her hair would start to become so saturated in oil it would feel wet to the touch.

Your so lucky ..mine stinks up after the 4th day lol

[@ratata365]

But your scalp probably does, no?

[@kimboo03]

This is definitely white girl problems! As a black woman we typically wash our hair every two weeks so I can’t relate.

[@sundari8224]

it really do be like that, i'll usually put my hair in box braids for like 3 months and i can do buns and ponytails with those bad boys

[@clavis1487]

i read these comments & got pretty happy. i love braids in my hair cause i can go even longer without washing it

[@gdragonsdamagedhair.bleach4800]

T C it doesn’t smell

[@kimboo03]

T C it’s always some white woman trying to tell a black person what works for them. How about this you do what works for you and we’ll do what works for us.

If my hair looked like hers on the second week with dry shampoo, i probably wouldn't wash my hair at all. I look like I have 3 hairs after the second day of not washing it
