I am so sick of having to wash my hair air often because it gets so sweaty.



And you know . Being frank. It doesn't end there.

It's also the 1+ hr of blow-dry and style ...

I hate that.

Anyone else feel me ?

    Yaaas. I had thick hair down to my *kitten* and dreaded washing it. Easily took 45+ minutes. Got it cut to little below shoulder length, now it takes like 15 minutes to wash. Love it.

    I onlywash my hair once a week and i just let it air dry then apply my hair lotion. I comb and brush before bed and when i wake up. No blow dry. Its too much work and i have kids. I want to try buying the blowdey brush for those special days.

    I also hate washing/drying/styling my hair every day, (I have hair well past my shoulders) and heard washing every day is not supposed to be good for your hair. Try washing only every 2nd or 3rd day and use a dry shampoo in between. I find it works well for me anyhoo.

    I run almost every day so can't avoid washing it almost every day! It is a pain, but I guess it's about choices. I would rather be fit, healthy and active and deal with washing my hair daily than sedentary and overweight like I was and only have to wash it couple of times a week!

    All silver here, way past my shoulders... non sweatier days mine gets dry shampoo and put up in some fashion. No way can I let mine air dry or I would be a a puffy poodle.

    Embrace it or cut it.

    I wash and condition mine everyday but skip the drying and blowing out. I just throw some gel or moose in it and let it go crazy.

    I rinse my hair with water every day and leave it to air dry

    Once in a while I'll rinse with apple cider vinegar

    I'm lazy af

    Yep, I have to wash mine after every workout cause I get so sweaty and gross. So 6 days a week. I just clip it up with one of those claw things and some bobby pins. I blow dry and curl for nice occasions.

    Not me. I wash it every other day. Let it air dry and don't style it much beyond brushing unless it is a special occasion.
    It may be time for a different haircut/style for you. Have you ever had short hair?

    I wash my hair once or twice a week. I let it air dry overnight. Then I straighten it or just leave it unstyled for a week or until oily, whichever comes first.

    Oh I am with you on that.. I've got thick curly hair and it takes forever to get it done. But cause it's so curly it doesn't get fatty so I can get away with washing it 2-3 times per week.. Depends on how sweaty I get during practice

    I'd echoed your feelings for some years, until I'd experienced customary hair cutting during two periods of mourning, which were extremely short (hip length to 2 inches length; regrew to mid back then cut to 2 inches) as a show of respect. Having to nurture a rather difficult hair texture to finally reach its full length is far more painful for me - it takes years to grow to a workable length. All those times when I'd hated the protocols are non-issues today.

    I avoid heat with my hair for obvious reasons. Post workouts I thoroughly power-rinse my hair/scalp with cold water and shikakai powder. Preferred drying method - Air drying. Whilst it is still damp I'll add my leave-in hair conditioner, a loose plait or bun and I'm done.

    All I do is rinse most days, to deal with the sweat, only wash twice a week, of course I have short straight hair. Can you do anything with curlers?
