how often do you guys wash your hair in the winter?

[jennifer30]

how often?

 

[ms.blue]

Biweekly due my hair being in either a wig or weave plus I don't sweat as bad during the winter as in summer.

 

[Prettymetty]

Once a week. Every 2 weeks if my scalp isn't super oily

 

[Dposh167]

i still wash 1x a week. Nothing different from the summer. I just make sure I don't wash before i go outside in the cold. Or i make sure i wash in enough time that it will dry before the next morning

 

[Prudent1]

Shampoo (as needed based on scalp condition, build up etc) usually bi-weekly. I'm a CWer though. I Co-wash 2 to 3 times a week year round. I actually have to do it (CW) more in the winter b/c of dryness from wearing hats, scarves, indoor heat, cold drier air outside etc.. Like Dposh167 said, I try not to go outside with my hair too wet but sometimes do. If I do I have a scarf, followed by toboggan and then a hat on too depending on the temp. I have learned to layer my hats just like I layer my clothes in the winter...

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Spring/Summer I cowash twice per week.

Fall/Winter I'm shooting for once a week. Don't know how long it'll last tho'

 

[chocolate01]

I always wash once a week regardless of the season.

 

[iVR]

I wash my hair at least once a week.

 

[Ann0804]

One to three times. The frequency keeps my hair moisturized.

 

[Angelbean]

Once a week

 

[spellinto]

How often I cleanse my scalp doesn't change in the winter. I use a cleansing conditioner weekly and clarify once a month.

 

[Bibliophile]

Once per week.

Using LHCF via smartphone. Can't see mentions.

 

[rileypak]

Usually biweekly because my scalp would get dry if I washed too often. This winter though, I'm going to try weekly to see how it goes

 

[Altruist]

I wash every 2 weeks during fall/winter. During spring/summer I wash once a week. When my hair was shorter I could still do once a week in winter. But now it takes a ridiculous amount of time to dry and in my state it gets pretty cold.

 

[Lilmama1011]

Once a week like I normally do all year round. But I hear people say their hair is really dry in the winter and they cowash mid week. So far I haven't had that dry problem (knock on wood)

 

[Sosa]

I replace a shampoo wash with cowashing. So my shampooing is reduced by half. But I am still "washing" weekly .

 

[LaVgirl]

I shampoo weekly, with sulfate-free shampoo. Every now and then, I'll skip a week due to lack of time or I'll do a co-wash instead.

 

[Bun Mistress]

I stopped shampooing ages ago, I ma attempt to space out washing all together this year, maybe everyone other week with regular conditioning rinse use inbetween. So far this is working, but I haven't skipped a week of washing yet.

 

[Baggettcindy]

once or twice a week...depending on how often I work out and the amount of product build up.

 

[Joigirl]

At least once a week.

 

[Toy]

Co wash 2x a week.

 

[Neomorph]

Wash 2x a week. It keeps my hair moisturized and keeps my scalp clean.

 

[krissyhair]

In past years, washing my hair in the winter could be as often as every other day. Now that my wash and go technique is better, maybe I'll wash twice a week or less.

 

[EnExitStageLeft]

Prior to wearing wigs...weekly.

Now that I wear wigs....bi monthly.

 

[Afroditeee]

Shampoo:
Still once a month.

Cowash:
I may skip a co wash or two if my hair is in a protective style and if it is super cold outside and I am in a rush.

 

[BeautyBlvd]

Once a week, but it really depends. Sometimes I can stretch it to a week and 1/2

 

[ChristmasCarol]

Co-wash 2x/wk - only shampoo if I straighten or I want to try out a new deep conditioning treatment.

 

[NaturallyATLPCH]

I replace a shampoo wash with cowashing. So my shampooing is reduced by half. But I am still "washing" weekly .

This. I do the same. I cleanse my hair weekly regardless of season. If not, my scalp will start acting up.
