I am trying this new thing where I am only washing my hair two to three times a week. I am noticing my hair is looking healthier rather than frizzy. Is there any other alternatives?
Jummey ki jummey :k:
I am not a girl but that’s my guess.
Every day
(Im not a girl either but most guppies think I am!)
everyday
three times a week.
Washing long hair everyday will be a serious pain in the neck.
Perhaps your shampoo was too harsh for your hair type, washing your hair every day doesn't have to make your hair frizzy if you use the right shampoo and conditioner.
I also have slightly longer hair, I have been growing it for a while now. While it looks nice, I just hate the maintanence.
I have dyed my hair more than once, what shampoo and conditioner should I use and how often?
Shikra and Neely 
Rukhsarbibi…how long is your hair?
Girls don’t wash their hair daily?!!!? 
:yukh:
No, it's too drying to wash it everyday,especially if you blow dry or uses straightening iron/curling iron. Your hair actually needs the natural oil from your scalp. i wash every other day or two days.
If you have a mild enough shampoo that is suited for everyday use then it won't dry your hair out to wash it ever day. Some people find that everyday washing is too drying on the hair because there hair isn't in need of everyday washing.
I wash mine every day and if at work them usually twice a day with no damage done to my hair. Try using baby shampoo, its so gentle and mild.
If you have oily hair and you are also located in a tropical or either v.hot region, it's better to wash them once a day, since in a warm climate the production of oil from the scalp is in abundance. Shampooing hair that is normal (not oily)every day makes it frizy and causes split ends due to dryness of scalp. Scalp produces oil to maintain the nourishment of the hair. Once thats washed away with a strong shampoo hair will be less shinier and more uglier to be honest. Some models claim that hair is much bouncier and better to handle the second day after washed. Which is true for many of us as well. Oilier hair will be full of body when washed each day esp if the climate where u're located is hot. But if you are in cold area every 2nd day is a good idea. Shorter hair gets dirty quicker compared to longer hair. Ppl having dry scalps are recommended to have a regular scalp message once a week or twice. Use Olive oil, leave for 1 hr before wash. Best remedy!
If ur hair is healthier now while washing 2,3 times a week, good for you. Keep it up! For every person its different esp girls.
BTW Guys should take a shower every day or twice a day if athletic. And yes they should also shampoo their hair everyday. Sorry off topic subject but I've noticed some guys who shower regularly but leave out shampooing their hair! How pathetic is that girls :)

Same here.
With regars to recommendations on shampoo etc..ask your hair stylist...and i've found that some of the more expensive brands are worth it. I LOVE redkins "so soft" shampoo and conditioners...
I wash mine almost every day. And use straightening iron almost every day as well. Can straightening iron make your hair dry tooo if used every day?
^^ Finally, the only "clean" chick on GS.
Well as your hair gets longer you can’t really wash it everyday… too much tangling and combing to do
I wash 4 times a week..I lay off on weekends when I don;t have to go out anywhere.

Wash and iron everyday? Neera you don't wanna get bald now do you? Water does rob your hair out of it's natural nutrients.. espec in teh gulf where water is desalinated..it's hard water...it actually speeds up greying and dries yoru hair out like anything...
Straightening iron is no good lady...but if the hubby demands ;)
every 2nd day
Every day.
I've been told by hairdressers never to wash my hair more than 3 times a week. In fact, one hairdresser once told me not to wash it more than twice a week cause of the thickness and texture of my hair.
First of all, you can't use just shampoo. It has to be shampoo followed by conditioner. More moisture you get for hair, the better it is. Skipping a day (shampooing + using conditioner) is also good but this does not mean not taking a shower at all (Sobz, take note).
