I have a few female friends that tell me that washing your hair with shampoo every day isn't good for you and that they shampoo it like every 2 days or so.

I looked online and it was true that using shampoo too often could damage your hair.

It makes sense and all, but if I don't use shampoo everyday, my hair feels all slick and gross, and a bit greasy. I can't comb it, and it just is super messy. I tried it for out for a day, and I felt so gross that I couldn't stand it.

Any comments?

I have a pixie cut, so every night. It gets gross much faster than when I had long hair.

Twice a day.

My hairs medium length and feels greasy and horrible if I don't. Plus it's dirty blonde colour so it shows if I haven't used shampoo.

Maybe I should try only once a day, then just wet my hair when I shower at night instead.

I wash my hair about twice a week because I have curly thick hair that's been dyed a lot, so I only wash it when it's greasy and always make sure to do a conditioner treatment by letting it sit in my hair for a while before washing it out. Because of this, my hair's always nice and shiny and soft and it's a lot healthier than it used to be. Other than that I wash my body every second day

I wash my hair every 2-3 days, and it doesn't look or feel bad at all. In fact, it's been in a lot better shape since I started doing this.

My hair used to be like that, and it was a real pain. But, there are things you can do to fix this. I would recommend talking to a hair stylist or something about this, and see if you can fix it, if you haven't already done this.
I had to do that myself, and it certainly helped.

I'll use shampoo when I need to. Which is every other day or so.

I do also have medium long hair and "dirty blonde" colour. I think that if you wash it too much, the hair will get used to it and get greasy much faster.
Same goes with the body. If you shower or bath too often, you'll get swettier.

I dye my hair often and washing it makes it fade, I've went two weeks without washing my hair but that was only because it was in the summer and I didn't come out of my house. On a normal schedule I wash it every Sunday, Wednesday and rarely but sometimes Friday. It gets a little greasy by the 3rd or 4th day but I don't really care I just use dry shampoo and perfume. I still wash my body every day. But I suppose I'd wash my hair more often if I didn't have to straighten it every time I wash it. I have extremely frizzy/curly/pube-like hair and I hate it especially since my taste in hair a hair cut is choppy with side bangs. I like my hair how it is and the side bang thing suits me. But yeah every 3-5 days depending on how busy I am.

I shampoo it once every two days, but I use a special concentrate that lasts an extra day that keeps it from getting slick and greasy, apply it after you shampoo your hair and it should add an extra layer of protection while keeping your hair healthy and soft.

I too really dislike having dirty hair, especially when I had longer hair it really made my life uncomfortable, and if I shampooed every day it'd damage my scalp and my hair would fall out, it was a nightmare.

You mean how often do we take showers? probably once or twice a month(like you're supposed to).

Once every two days, because I can't be bothered blowdrying my hair everyday. If I don't blowdry, my hair gets all tangled up and knotted.

Every two to three days. I wash my scalp more than my hair though since that is more important to wash. I condition more often and deep condition once every few weeks.

Also taking too hot of a shower is bad for your skin and hair as well.

Every day or ever other day, I go for a bath very often though I never used to be like that... I was a very lazy person. But honestly taking a bath has gotten so nice and with the discovery of Bathbombs.... mmmm yes please. I also condition my hair too but idk if that is a British thing? Eh...

ALSO my Grandad goes for a shower every day at temperatures that scare me and he shampoos his hair twice..... and he still has his full set of hair..... so I kinda call bs? xD My grandad is a clean freak.

I shower everyday, but I've only started to wash my hair at night. I KNEW IT WAS UNHEALTHY! But then my mum was like "nah m8, you gotta be clean everyday". On the holidays, I obviously don't shower that much, only like twice a week. #savingmoney #myhairlooksprettywhenit'soilyanddry

Yes. Of course it is. Dogs get sweaty and their fur needs to be cleaned. For some reason many people do the same thing but only to the hair on their head. People use a different type of soap for their head hair and for the rest of their body for reasons that no dog has been able to figure out.

Once at night, I also use conditioner which staves off any negative affects from using shampoo too often I think. Never had issues with frequency, my hair feels and looks just fine. I couldn't go without a shower every day, I like to feel clean before bed plus my job usually leads me to need to wash my hair anyway.

I shampoo my hair everyday. Or conditioner. Whatever's in the bathroom. Damage your hair.. blah blah. Better than not cleaning it I say. I've read about showering everyday damages your skin too. And that's just gross af if you don't shower everyday especially when you live in the tropics like me.
