My hair does the exact same thing. I'm going to start washing every 4 days.Ebonygurl00 said:My hair hates me if I daily cowash. I tried it for almost a month, and it was BREAKAGE CITY. Never again!! I'm still figuring my wash schedule out, but I waited 6 days for the first time in a long time, and my hair was really dry and my scalp was itching like crazy. My hair needs the hydration of washing. I think my hair and scalp will be good with every 4-5 days.
For styles I usually just wear my boring ponytail everyday, sometimes i'll wear it down though. I used to wrap my hair at night but I had to cut back on that because I think it was thinning my right side so now I'll wrap it maybe 3 or 4 days out of the 2 weeks and the rest of the time I put it in a banded ponytail (a ponytail w/ bands going all the way down to the end) so it will be straight. If I want some bend to my hair I'll put it in a ponytail and one big pincurl. I always wear a scarf. As long as it's not humid my hair never reverts. Actually as the days go on it gets straighter and straighter. I don't see any breakage until I shampoo so that's why I shampoo every two weeks.hairlove said:I don't co-wash anymore since I wear my hair straightened. I shampoo and condition weekly.
Pokahontas - How do you get your hair to last for two weeks? What styles do you wear? What do you do with it at night?
My roots always stay straight, no problem there. I guess it's because I don't sweat in my head. Are you getting it completely straight when you flat iron it? I always make sure it's good and straight when I flat iron it and it usually stays that way. I don't do anything special to it except put it in a ponytail like I normally do. Sorry I couldn't help too much.hairlove said:Pokahontas...what about your roots? My length stays very straight and I have no problem with reversion there. But the middle of my head at the roots always reverts within a couple of days! It drives me nuts. If that didn't revert, I could go 2 weeks. Any tips?

Cichelle said:I cowash every single day of the week. Been doing that for over a year, including the winter time and I my hair LOVES it. I have experimented with cowashing less and what I ended up with was something very similar to a rat's nest, with lots of knots and too much hair in the drain. I don't think I could use shampoo every day, though, unless it was a REALLY moisturizing one. I shampoo when needed and even then, I try to concentrate on the scalp as opposed to the ends.
