Relaxed ladies, do you wash or co-wash weekly?

[ScandalousBeauty]

Sorry if this topic has been brought up before, I searched it but couldn't find a topic. Anywho, I was wondering if any of you shampoo and condition or just co-wash your hair weekly or more than once a week. It has always been tought to me that we couldn't do this. I have washed twice a week for the past few weeks (not purposely) but I just wanted to see if this was a "bad" or "not recommended" thing. Thanks y'all!

I wash at LEAST twice per week its a must otherwise my hair gets too dry however only one of these includes a shampoo, the other is a conditioner wash.

HTH

I wash (Shampoo; Shampoo & Condition; Conditioner) my hair weekly. It depends on how my hair feels if I just poo, poo and condition or do a conditioner wash.

I just recently started CO washing weekly. I usually shampoo on Sundays and CO wash on Wednesday. I've been enjoying it because I find that I don't need to spend as much time putting moisture into my hair as a result. However, I have had to step up my protein treatments & clearifying since my hair has been "mushier." (Is that a word? lol)

I shampoo and deep condition once a week and CW once a week.....

I've started CO washing 1X to 2X a week and shampooing and deep conditioning 1X per month. Like Divine Inspiration, I don't have to moisturize as much and I save time now, because I was shampooing and conditioning at least once a week before.

However, I have gone as long as 2-3 weeks without washing my hair if I've been to the hairdresser. The style lasts that long and if my head doesn't feel dirty, I just leave it alone.

I do either 1X or 2x a week. But it was under the recommendation of my stylist that I wash every four days. The heat here in Louisiana is no joke and doing this has kept my hair from just completely drying out.

I am currently transitioning to natural, but of course the majority of my hair is relaxed. I shampoo and condition once or twice a week. I have a lot of new growth and I try to keep the manipulation to a minimum.

I shampoo my hair twice a week no matter what. (Shampoo, Rinse, Shampoo, Rinse & Deep Condition w/heat. Sometimes I shampoo three times a week. Yes my hair loves it ! The once a week shampoo just does not work for my hair anymore. I have not had any breakage from doing this or any damaging effects. I got the shampooing twice a week from LHCF members and the Cathy Howse method. I do not conditioner wash---me and my hair like shampoo.

I often shampoo monthly but I co-wash once a week even when I have braids.

I shampoo once or twice a week and may throw a CO wash in for good measure!

My scalp doesnt seem to enjoy CO washing. I try to shampoo every 4-5 days and Deep CO. afterwards. Im wearing braids right now and I only shampoo every 7 days when I have braids in.

Why would you wash your hair and leave out the shampoo? I don't get it.

I shampoo once a week and co wash the rest of the week.
