I felt bad for not washin g my hair for a week.........I was wondering if I can get a pass because I usually wash my hair often........very often

1 week erplexed

OP: your siggy is something else

Yeah

I voted for 5 days. After about 4 days I can't stand my hair. I think it is because I use product(s) in my hair each day, and by the 4th day my hair has build up on it and I can't stand for my hair to be sticky, dirty, etc.

 

[chelleyrock]

I voted 1 1/2 weeks. I normally wash every weekend, but got lazy. Before I knew it, Wednedsay was back again.

5 days after flat ironing

 

[NYAmicas]

I didnt want to have to mess with my hair so I'd avoid washing it. I go about a week after the trial of flat-ironing myself and I dont like all the manipulation I go through after washing it.

 

[kbragg]

Do you mean like on purpose or just out of laziness...

 

[nikki2229]

I would have to say around 4 days. But I am a newbie and I am sure this will wear off in time.

 

[Pheonixx]

Well...it'll be 3 days tomorrow.
I just flat-ironed it yesterday and I don't feel like taking the time to do a braid-out.

LOL @Madonna in your siggy.
What is that?

 

[wonderstar]

3 weeks but that's because I was trying to preserve my braids. It helped me to make it to 1 month without combing.

 

[SimpleKomplexity]

Before: Every 2 weeks erplexed
After: every 3 days

2 weeks b/c I had twists in, but even then I used ORS Herbal Cleanse Dry Shampoo and I let the water mist my twists when I took a shower, so there was very little build up.

 

[locabouthair]

two weeks out of laziness. I dont think I want to wait that long again. I was getting the itchies. Plus I like a fresh rollerset every week.

i second this; i DC'd saturday and flat-ironed sunday and was going to wash tuesday until i got a free dominican blowout. now i really want to wash, but i'm enjoying the length of my hair in its straightened state

therefore i am thinking tomorrow...for the third night in a row.

After joining LHCF, I started washing every 3 days. 4 days was the longest without washing.

 

[HoneyDew]

I have gone a week and a half. When i have things going on like finals and work stuff, I just have to skip it.

But I normally wash my hair twice a week. It is better for my hair and I need to since I workout a lot during the week.

 

[Jetblackhair]

The longest was two weeks. I had straightened my hair and I was really enjoying not having knots and such at the end of my hair.

 

[Simply_Kelz]

Um 2 weeks, I was trying to see if I could keep a super low-mani, 2 week wash and flatiron regimen.

I couldn't. It got so dry because of the cones in my moisturizer.

 

[lurkersincejan]

I actually read it wrong, thinking you said before LHCF and selected other. Its actually been a week, since joining i wash faithfully every weekend!

 

[remnant]

3 weeks ...............after flat ironing my hair.

 

[Allandra]

Three weeks for me.

 

[PeggyFair]

Before joining LHCF, I was washing twice a week. After joining I have been trying to co-wash daily, but a few times I have skipped a day so my answer is just 1 day.

 

[MzOptimistic]

3 days to a week. It has helped my hair. My hair is not dry like it use to be prior to joining LCHF. Sometimes, when I touching my hair. I can't believe this is the same hair, I had 4 years ago. My hair has definitely improved.

 

[Britt]

The absolute longest i've gone since joining the board is 7 days.. and that feels almost like torture. My scalp starts to feel dirty... I like to wash my hair at least by day 5.
When I first joined the board I use to co wash a few times a week. I think it kept my scalp nice and clean. Now I wash about 2x a week.

3 days for me...once a week washer before lurking on lhcf ... [the 'Dry Hair Syndrome' led me here looking for answers].

I now wash twice a week, that has somewhat helped 'The Hair's' condition, but I :crystalba a move into three times per week.

'The Hair's' moisture demands are off the chart...

Tips I've read on this site have been an enormous help charting out possible answers to my dilemma...

Thanks goes to both those who ask and to those who answer...

2 weeks....Had braids in, took em out, hair seemed the most moisturized and healthy since starting a haircare regimen.

Then i noticed just about all of my hair idols had a super low regi and washed every 10-15 days......tryed it out, loved it, hair seems to retain more length (noticed my hair doesnt like to be bothered at all), more moisturized, less tangled est. est.

But i switch it up, sometimes 2x a week, sometimes about 10 days.

 

[mika vs sasha]

I usually don't wash my hair for 1 week right after my touch up.

 

[OrangeMoon]

3 weeks, recently I've gotten hair lazy. Didn't feel like jumping in and out of the shower to rinse. I'm seriously thinking about purchasing a shampoo chair and bowl.
