my hair is usually shoulder length or just below my shoulders and I was it every day. I have tried a few times to go to every other day with the use of dry shampoo, but I just can't get past the greasy, itchy feeling of it.
EVERYDAY! I have very long hair, but would wash it everyday regardless. I work right by people's faces, if you only wash your hair 2x per week or less, it stinks. You may think otherwise, but I promise it does. Nothing is grosser than the smell of greasy, dirty unwashed hair.
Amen. It isn't about the HAIR, it's about the scalp stinking. A person would have to have some SERIOUSLY dry skin overall to be able to get away with not washing their hair at least every other day. I challenge all the people who only wash a couple times a week to take out a hairdryer, put it on high heat, blow their dry hair around and smell the hot air coming off their head. That's what everyone around them gets to smell. They are just nose blind to their own scent.
I have heard that if you have long hair, you should not wash it often.
I've mentioned this "smell" on some other threads that have different subject matter. Sometimes when I'm in the grocery store early on Sunday mornings, I get near people that obviously haven't washed their hair in a while. That smell is really noticeable. I just never knew how long it took to get that smell so strong. My son has a very oily scalp and I think it happens in roughly 48 hours.
We aren't positive since we adopted her, but we think she is some type of Boxer/Rhodesian Ridgeback mix.I know this is OT, but what type of dog is that in your profile pic? My dog looks quite a lot like this one.
