For those who don't wash their hair

everyday, what do you do? Do you wet it? Just wash the hairline? Just condition? Or leave it totally dry?  I am trying this, but I don't know what to do!

Re: For those who don't wash their hair

  • I usually put my hair up in a bun when I shower on days that I don't wash my hair and leave it as dry as I can (the hairline usually gets wet when I wash my face).

     Sometimes I just rinse it but more often then not I just leave it dry.

  • LOL, it's funny that you ask b/c I just started trying this too!  I have been leaving it dry, just putting it up while I take a shower in the a.m. and brushing it out.  It hasn't been *too* greasy looking but I definitely have to get used to the feeling.  I might try to get some powder (baby powder or dry shampoo) to use on it the days I don't wash it.

  • Forgive my ignorance - but you guys dont wash your hair? Ever? What is the reasoning? Inquiring minds want to know!!!

     

    My hair gets so greasy looking if I dont wash it, and my scalp gets super itchy!

  • I usually wash every 3 days or so when I do a blow-out.  In between, I put my hair in a bun when I shower and use dry shampoo to get rid of any residue.  I have really think, coarse, dry hair, so it's better if I don't mess with it every day. 
  • LOL I wash my hair every other day! I just find it best to skip a day between washes so it doesn't dry out my hair. It never gets greasy from just skipping one day.

    LOL!!  I had asked about washing your hair every other day b/c I heard it was good to skip a day.  My hair has been getting dry but usually gets really greasy if I don't wash it every day.  I decided to try the every other day thing while I'm on vacation and it's not as bad as I thought.

  • oh hahahaha okay - I usually skip a day too! I thought you guys were giving up on washing your hair forever!
  • Yeah, I usually just pin back my bangs with bobby pins, and then put the rest up in a bun.  it will get wet at the nape of my neck and usually around the hairline.  It's usually not a big deal unless I straightened it, in which case a few quick passes on the newly wavy areas with my straight iron take care of that. 

     I haven't used the dry shampoo yet, but I want to get some to use.  I've used my sister's once or twice, and liked it.

  • I pin it up while I shower and then take it down and blow it around with the hairdryer to give it a lift.  Then I figure out if it is getting straightened again and staying down or if it is going up.

  • I don't have any suggestions as to how to skip a day because I can't and I just wanted to say I'm incredibly jealous.

    I have super oily hair and I actually use dry shampoo in the evening if I'm going somewhere to touch up the greasies I get (even after washing my hair that morning).  I just thought for those of you considering dry shampoo, the ojon rub out stuff stinks horribly.  It works well, but smells really bad.  I currently use Oscar Blandi and it has a light lemony scent but I don't think it works quite as well as the Ojon, however I can deal with the slightly less effectiveness and the pleasant smell over more effective but has a offending odor.

  • Ok, I have another question.  What do you do when you sleep.  LOL... when I sleep, my hair gets CRAZY.  I mean, sticking up straight when I wake up in the AM. (Yes... DH loves me even though...)  So I can go without a wash, but HAVE to wet it and re-dry it with the blow dryer, which is something I would love to avoid.  Does anyone have a secret to share?  Or should I just resolve to blow it out every day?
