Ladies, Hair washing

Every other day... if im feeling really sweaty then once a day... failing that... dry shampoo!!!! :laugh:

That's what I do, normally I do everyday because my hair is horrid if I go a day without washing it. Than on days I work out I make sure I shower the morning after. I mean sweat in my hair overnight isn't going to kill it lol.

Never heard of or used dry shampoo though lol

I only wash it after pool workouts if I need to, but I usually go 2-3 days in between washings. I have no idea what "dry shampoo" is but it just sounds like someone got fancy about it and re-marketed the baby powder trick. Anyway, even if I get sweaty, I have to feel like it's really gross before I'll wash it... I also rarely use brushes, and I don't heat treat or anything like that, as well as condition only 1-2 times a week.

Yeah, I'm weird, but my hair is awesome ;D

No I usually only wash it after 2 work outs. I hate washing my hair every day. Makes it feel very dry.

Same here. I only washed it 3 times a week before I started working out ... now I do every 2nd or 3rd day. I have very long, thick hair that is wicked dry.

I need to wash my hair every morning and as I hardly ever work out in the morning I will often give it a second wash, or at least a quick rinse though, after a workout. My hair drips when I've worked hard :blushing: Good shampoo and conditioner will leave it in better condition than before you wash it, not stripped.

I wash my hair every other day or every two days. Workouts that end up being super sweatier than normal will cause me to break my cycle and wash earlier than planned. Really, your body adjusts to your natural oils...the more you wash the more oils your body wants to produce to make up for what is being washed away. Thats not good. I have a friend (he is a boy) who onl;y washes his hair once a week and his looks better than mine! I have not been brave enough to try that!

I have naturally curly hair that looks disgusting if I don't shower daily. I condition only every other day and shampoo & condition on the alternating days. The conditioner not only helps moisturize my hair, but it helps get the tangles out since I can't brush my hair like people with straight hair can.

I wash my hair every other day. I've tried everyday before, it just drys out.
I don't really sweat loads at the gym though, obviously I sweat somewhat, but my hair is tied right back off my neck so it isn't really affected.

My hair is super oily, I have got to wash it every day or I become an oil slick

I am so jealous of all of you who don't have to...I wish!

Me too! I have to wash mine everyday.

I've never heard of dry shampoo, where do I get that? I try to wash every other day but it can get pretty gross with sweat.

I use the Suave Professionals brand and it works awesome, I have naturally oily hair but with the dry shampoo I can go easily two days without washing it (usually I only use it on the second day)

Depends. For example, I washed it yesterday morning, slept all day cuz I was sick so I didn't wash it this morning. But tonight after doing the eliptical I will be soaked and have to wash it. Then tomorrow I won't wash it at all since I won't be working out, then Thursday morning I will have to or it will be too oily. I guess it averages to 5-6 x per week.
