How often should I wash my hair?

Mentorship asked:


How often should I wash my hair? My mom keeps telling me to shampoo every other day because I need the natural oils, but if I do that my hair looks very greasy and thin the next day..

If I do end up shampooing every other day should I still at least wet it on the off days?

    I have to shampoo every day because my hair gets greasy if I don’t. I think you should just stick with what works for you.

    You can wash your hair everyday but don’t forget to use conditioner. They say the best way to wash your hair in every other day.

    i wash my hair every other day because the natural oils help hair to stay in good condition and keep it looking healthy and its less stress full :)

    I wash my hair twice per day. (Though I wouldn’t really recommend this to anybody). I have waist length, soft, super-shiny hair, and no split ends. But part of why my hair is in naturally great condition is heredity and regular trims every 6 weeks. Do whatever works for you.

    In my case. I wash at night during my shower, to clean out whatever styling products are in my hair. Many women just brush it out. If I do that, my hair gets really dry and brittle, especially at the ends. That’s when I end up with dry split ends. In the morning, I wash partly to get rid of bed head, and also because my hair manages better/styles easier when it’s freshly washed.
