Washing hair?

Haha, I was also going to say try using JUST conditioner instead of shampoo. Wash with it just like you would wash with shampoo. Gets your scalp clean while leaving your hair hydrated. It's the high amounts of sulfates (the things that make the bubbles) that dries hair out. (which is why you have to follow up whit conditioner when you use it!!! )0

i use organix shampoo and conditioner when i shower twice a day. boyfriend's family is all hairdressers and they recommend sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners to help prevent hair damage.
maybe once a week i'll just rinse my hair instead of washing it, but i've noticed it definitely looks greasier and just more blah.
and i don't shower on my rest days because i hate showering.0 -
Don't use shampoo every time...the extra washing just use conditioner.0

Deep conditioning treatment at least three times a week! I use Aussie 3-minute miracle.0

I don't "wash" my hair after every workout. I tend to only shampoo my hair maybe twice a week, BUT I condition my hair everytime I shower. I have naturally curly (READ: DRY/FRIZZY) hair. I use Dove daily moisture conditioner each and everytime. It leaves my hair shiny and nourished.

Sometimes I just rinse my hair, no shampoo or conditioner, and then I apply my normal hair goo (moisturizing/anti-frizz stuff by garnier fructis) and then just let it air dry as I usually do. This way I feel like I'm not stripping out the oils, just rinsing away the filth. I usually do this on days I didn't go to the gym when I know I'll be working out and showering pretty early the next day.0

I wash my hair maybe every other day to keep it nice and soft (don't worry, I bathe daily haha). I brush my hair out and let the sweat dry (I know gross), and then later on use a dry shampoo so it's not gross. I've also developed quite a few cute "you'd never know my hair is dirty" hair styles for my non-wash days haha
Me, too. I don't want to wash every day because it is fine and flys away if I don't blow dry it and it's bad for my color to wash and/or dry it every day (or twice if I did it in the morning already). I work out in the evening and then let the sweat dry out and just take a body shower. In the morning I use the dry shampoo on my off hair wash day. Tresemme has a line of the spray dry shampoo that you can get most anywhere. Dry shampoo used to be hard to find. It actually gives some nice volume and texture for me (straight and fine hair) and I know they have a mousse one for curly hair. I used to use baby powder or Pssst! but this is great and is very lightly scented so it really freshens you up.0 -
If you don't use conditioner I suggest you pick up some, whether to put in while showering or as a leave-in afterward. If your hair is still damaged feeling even after bringing that into your regime, then you're probably going to need to switch shampoos and look for ones that repair damaged hair along with serums, especially if you introduce your hair to heat. (John Frieda's Frizz-Ease has a serum specifically to protect hair that's blow-dried, straightened, curled with an iron or any other heat that would hurt it)
There is nothing wrong with washing your hair every day despite lots of people and a couple studies saying to only do it every other day or only three or so times a week. But if you're using a harsh shampoo and you, say, color your hair or heat style it a lot then it does hurt it. If you're comfortable with a dry shampoo then you can try that, but I know personally I wouldn't feel clean after sweating profusely to just spray stuff into my hair.
If nothing else, consult the person who cuts your hair.0
