You KNOW You Need To Wash Your Hair When..

[MizzBrown]

I know when i need to wash my scalp when i scratch my head and look under my fingernails and actually SEE the buildup. Yuck! I don't feel clean at all after seeing that!

Everyone keeps telling me not to wash these twists so early but if i see dirt/buildup under my nails then thats a wrap!

Lemme get ready for my wash right now!

Ladies, when can yall tell??

I know I need to wash my hair once it itches so bad I cant stand it, which is usually after 3 days. Also, my hair likes to pick up smells. Sometimes if i cook or am around someone who smokes, my hair will hold on to that scent and I just can't stand it! I have to wash it or I wont feel clean.

A soon as I decide that I want to cheat and use brown gel instead of castor oil and honey to keep my edges down...I put that mess on my hair and was like no no nooo ...this is not the business. Immediately washed my hair.

Uggggh at the nail stuff... that's how I feel if I scratch and see stuff under my nail .... My general rule of thumb is that my hair really needs to be washed by day 4 or 5.. I'm trying to stretch it to 7 since air drying and I are no longer friends . Wet buns cause me more shedding and is just a huge pain.

This is me too. Also any time I get a new product . It's an itch I just have to scratch.

the smell of your dirty sweaty scalp overpowers your signature purfume......erplexed

When my hair feels kinda stiff or needs a burst of moisture I wash my hair...that can fall anywhere in between 1 - 4 days.

When my hair looks "ashy" or what I like to call "grayscale"

 

[Highly Favored8]

I wash when the nails in my hands is dirty which is weekly. Combined with a itchy scalp.

 

[Simply_Kelz]

When I get dirty fingernails along with the itchies, which is usually day 5-6.

 

[Gigi-07]

When my hair starts looking like that dude...layers of old product built up and clogged, dried cuticles are a not a good look...

and of course, when it starts to smell a little unfresh...that's when I know it's time to suds up.
I don't even let get to the point of reeking (3-7 days max between washes), dirty scalp has a very distinct, stomach-turning aroma (and note: I have a pretty strong stomach).

well when I was relaxing I knew to wash my hair when I saw a lot of it shedding or in the comb....I'm currently transitioning so everything may be brand new

I know I need to wash when my twists lose its luster. When it looks dull and stops shining from the castor oil I sealed it with from the previous wash I know its time for another.. usually I don't wait that long and was every 3-4days

Ditto on this, though I normally can rock twists for about 2-3 weeks before I break down and wash. I also do the scalp to nail check and if I can ruffle my hair, look down at my shirt and see that it looks like mid december flurries on my shirt.

once it start to itch.

 

[BeautifulRoots]

I definitely agree, whenever my hair is looking dry and dull...also when I do the scratch test and there is buildup under the nail and an itchy scalp...

RAIIID!


But, remember the thread about the lady whose hair was so long that she found a spider in it when she went to wash it and didn't know how long it was there for? I didn't want to laugh but that was

Thank you LadyKaypnyc........I am a fan of your videos and your GORGEOUS HAIR!!!!

 

[Lyoness]

For me it's the nail test too!

 

[Miosy]

i know I need a wash when my hair get too oily and breaks because of the extra dirt. My hair also gets stiff when dirty

 

[Nonie]

My routine is to wash twice a week, but if I happen to get too busy or too tired to make time for my wash when it's due and go a day or so more, I get a headache or my hair starts to feel dry...then I know I really must wash my hair to get relief.
