Naturals: How often do you wash your hair?

[honeybearmommy32]

Dumb question but cld sme1 tell me wht a cowash & prepoo means?

I see it on jst abt every single thread.

I've been a member for a few yrs now & thought I wld eventually catch on using the context clues....not so...

 

[longhairdreaming]

I wash once a week with a sulfate free shampoo but depending on my hairstyle I may co-wash or at least wet my hair down in the shower daily or every other day.

Cowashing= conditioner washing(using conditioner instead of shampoo)
Prepoo= pre shampoo, putting oils or fav conditioner on your hair for 15min to sometimes overnight before shampooing

Hope that helps.

Oh wow, I never wld hve got tht!

Pouring conditioner on my oily week old hair when its due for some suds sounds weird, but ok.

I'll try jst abt anything once...

once a week

 

[lilyofthenile]

Once a week or every two weeks, depends on physical activity, general laziness and if I'm too occupied or something.

 

[FoxxyLocs]

I DC weekly and shampoo once a month. If I need to I'll shampoo at the 2 week mark. If I have my hair in a style, I can go 2 weeks, which can turn into 3 if I get busy. Normally though, I stick to the once a week schedule.

 

[melissa-bee]

About every 7-10 days.
I sometimes alternate between co-washing and shampooing but it depends on how my hair feels.
I never cowash 2 times in a row.

 

[virtuenow]

Why do you ask? Are you looking for a new regimen?

 

[cami88]

once a week.

 

[SmilingElephant]

I shampoo my hair weekly, i alternate between sulfate and sulfate-free as needed. I co-wash every 2-6 days. I'm always washing my hair unless i'm sick.

 

[SherylsTresses]

I cowash weekly and shampoo every 4-6 weeks.

 

[lexxi]

Typically once every week or two but this week was in the 60's so I shampooed twice and cowashed all week. I will say surprisingly I had a dime size amount of shedding.I hadn't detangled with a comb in two weeks most likely three but I cowashed on dirty hair,which is why I shampooed twice.

 

[chrisanddonniesmommy]

I shampoo and deep condition once a week-my scalp hates me if I go longer.

I shampoo and DC every week or every other week depending on how my hair is styled (or how busy I am).

[curlicarib]

Co-wash once a week, DC + shampoo with a 50/50 mixture of conditioner/shampoo once a week. So - twice a week.

2x-3x a week with a non-sulfate natural shampoo. At minimum, once a week, or my scalp will get itchy.
