Coli ladies, how many times do you wash your hair a week?

[BrothaZay]

Hey ladies I have long and thick hair. When I say thick i mean like out of this world thick, the type of thick that if you saw me you'll probably think I have the thickest hair you've ever seen.

Post a pic of the best shampoo and conditioner for to use?

Some people get dry scalp/hair and shedding from washing their hair more than that. My sister can't wash her hair more than once a week because her hair starts shedding when she does.

Shedding? Like Lizards?

Shedding? Like Lizards?

once a week?

It's winter, so once a week shampoo and deep treatment is good for Afro hair. Like @Token, I co-wash during the week too after the gym.

My scalp seems drier when I wash it weekly so I wash every 2 weeks or twice a month (once when I relax, and 2 weeks after)

I also don't apply a bunch of products to my hair either once it's been washed.

once a week?

Im assuming ur white. Black ppl in general dont need to wash our hair every day, it strips it of the natural oils. Since black hair isnt naturally oily like white hair our shyt would dry up if we wash it too much. Wash once a week and just condition and moisturize throughout the week and most of us are good.


I speak only of NATURAL HAIR since im a black male i dont know how it works with perms and shyt.

i'm natural and i'm a swimmer .....so everyday.

i use a super low alkaline shampoo to rinse the chlorine out of my hair after swimming laps and i do a deep treat masque everyday that i let sit on while i'm in the shower. i don't use any heat... i put Moroccan oil and curl creme in and let it dry naturally everyday and my hair is soft as silk and not dry or brittle at all.

i don't recommend the average woman shampoo everyday but my circumstances are slightly different

 

[Cappy77]

I am natural as well. When I wear it straight, I will wash once every two weeks. When I wear it curly, co-wash 2-3 times a week.

 

[Coco Loco]

Once a week; usually Sundays. I like Sunday because I'm normally home all day and it's really long and air drying these curls takes forever.

100% african and nah. Yall heads are still gonna be dirty as fukk. If you aint hitting the gym meh; I understand girlsand dudes with Zay's kinda hair take a long time to dry their heads because of volume of course. If youre a dude with a regular cut, youre just lazy; theres no excuse. If youre hitting the gym and not shampooing after...youre disgusting. Period. Shame on everyone of yall dapping that shyt too. Dont even throw that black vs white shyt out there as an excuse either. Disgusting americans.

Moisturizing everyday and not even shampooing in between , i could only imagine a microscopic view of your scalps.

Tell me, do you wear a hairnet in the shower to so you can avoid the ewater? Having your head steam all up in there? Because you know that water/steam is still gonna dry up your headpiece right? I dont know shyt...but i know something sounds fishy right now. I personally do it 3 times a week.

I wash with shampoo once a week...but I'll go in and co-wash 1 or 2 times in-between that :s:

this is acceptable

I can all but guarantee my hair is cleaner than urs and i only wash my hair once a week. If u could read and comprehend my original post i said u moisturize AND condition your hair throughout the week. I get my hair wet everyday when im in the shower, thats not the same as WASHING your hair. Also i CONDITION my hair which involves wetting ur hair (u did kno that right )

All u need is a LIGHT moisturizer like Olive Oil cream and u wont have any residue left in your hair. I dont work out like that so i cant speak on sweat being an issue. I have a full head of 360 waves that smell great with ZERO dandruff and i wash my hair once a week.

so by wash we mean strictly shampoo? I consider shampoo and conditioner both parts of washing.

anyway, the water itself is going to dry out your hair which is what i'm saying. so if the only reason to not "wash" your hair is to avoid drying out your scalp then why condition it or let any water contact your hair?


It's like saying "I dont wash my skin in the shower because it's gonna dry out the natural oils my skin produces..." (you know the skin produces natural oils right ?) "...I just stand in water, and then lotion up my body after."


On the surface it may seem clean, but I bet that by day #4 without washing your headtop, if we took your hair to a lab it would tell a different story. I guess because we're black we have special fortresses that shield our head from smog, rain, flies, sweat and even the dirt on our hands .



I'm really just talking out of my ass though ....
