Naturals: How often do you wash your hair?

[Vashti]

I shampoo once a month and I co-wash twice a week.

 

[PrincessLinzz]

I co-wash every 2 days and I shampoo when I feel I have a lot of buildup.

 

[Tiye]

I wash once a week.

^^ This

For me it means shampoo with shampoo then condition.

I even use shampoo + conditioner on wig hair now - it behaves better than with just co-wash as you see recommended everywhere.

 

[knt1229]

I poo once a week on Sunday's and co-wash once a week on Wednesday's.

 

[notlookingback06]

I wash my hair once per week, alternating one week with a co-wash and the following week with a shampoo wash.

 

[Vintageglam]

I try and wash 1x week with shampoo (sulphate free) and then usually co-wash 1x week when I have the time. This is not always an exact science tho and can change depending on how busy I am.

 

[Kindheart]

I used to cowash 2ce a week and poo+DC once a week, I ve noticed some shedding. I think cowashing often weakens my hair so I m going to poo+dc once a week +1 cowash if needed .
If my hair gets dry instead of going through cowashing combing etc I just spray some water+Co mix to give it a bit of moisture.

 

[mzteaze]

I shampoo (lo poo) once a week or two. Otherwise, I rinse and co-wash as needed based on my exercise schedule.

 

[libertysince05]

wash every 3 days, using shampoo every 2nd wash and pre-poo overnight the day before shampoo

 

[iri9109]

i usually wash (with a sulfate free shampoo or castille soap) on saturday & then i'll probably co-wash 1x mid week.

 

[BrownEyez22]

Lately, I've been washing with Shampoo about 2x a month.

I rinse my hair with plain water sometimes, and I might cowash maybe 2x a month in between the shampoos.

 

[Lynnerie]

I voted every 2-3 weeks but that is with shampoo. I co-wash every other day.

 

[newgrowth15]

I shampoo 2x per week in the summer. If I am bunning, I co-wash every day. If I am wearing twists, braids or cornrowns, I co-wash every 3-4 days.

 

[LaFemmeNaturelle]

I wash weekly, alternating with a sulfate poo (nexxus therappe) and an ayurvedic shampoo. I'm transitioning but will do the same when I'm fully natural!

 

[biancaelyse]

I usually co wash every 2nd or 3rd day unless I'm being lazy. My hair is thick but has fine strands and it usually does better with more frequent rinsings.

 

[thehairmaverick]

I non-sulfate shampoo once a week and clarify every two weeks. I don't like buildup of any kind on my hair.

 

[Charz]

Every two weeks. Sulfate -free shampoo.

 

[biancaelyse]

I shampoo once every 2-4 weeks and cleanse with bentonite clay monthly.

 

[gimbap]

I non-sulfate shampoo once a week and clarify every two weeks. I don't like buildup of any kind on my hair.

Same here.

 

[nikolite]

Usually every 2 weeks. I may wash with just water once a week (just to combat the itchies if necessary), but then every two weeks I use shampoo and conditioner and all that.

 

[lovenharmony]

I clarify twice a week. My hair gets product buildup easy so in order for my moisturizers to work I need to shampoo my hair thoroughly. I don't co wash.

 

[Naturae]

I Co-wash every other day so using shampoo is only on an 'absolute must' basis ( i.e, product buildup, 3 days before henna treatment, if I decide to flat iron, etc.) But I dont wash my hair so much as I wash my scalp.
ETA: I shampoo my scalp and just let it run down the lengths of my hair. Once upon a time I used to pile my hair on top of my head, plop a big chunk of shampoo on and just go to town rigerously... big no-no!

 

[TaraDyan]

I cowash 2 times a week. And shampoo as needed.

Ditto.

 

[Eritreladiee]

I cowash daily and shampoo as needed, usually one a week, but twice if necessary

 

[chocolate01]

I shampoo once a week. My hair is not a fan of wash and goes so I don't do them often.

 

[mkd]

I wash with a non sulfate shampoo twice a week.

[steffiejoe]

I wash or co-wash once a week. It just depends on how dirty my hair is. Lately I've been rotating( wash one week , co-wash the next week)
