What is the longest you can go without washing your hair?

[PinkSunshine77]

I mean no shampoo, no conditioner and no other cleaning agents being used on your hair?

I went 9 days this week and usually I wash my hair 1x weekly. The longest I've ever gone without washing my hair was 2 weeks during a transition because I was preserving my flat ironed hair. How about you ladies?

 

[CurlsBazillion]

14-21 days

 

[crlsweetie912]

10 days....I can't stand it anymore after that!

 

[Angelinhell]

Maybe a week. I'm trying out cutting back to once a week from twice a week. No reason, I'm just getting lazy and don't want to completely slack off.

 

[Your Cheeziness]

10-12 days.

 

[djkforeal]

14-28 days max, but I prefer no longer than 7-14 days.

 

[Miss*Tress]

14-28 days max, but I prefer no longer than 7-14 days.

Same here (although in the summer the maximum is 7 days).

I just went my longest at 10 days. I was not in the mood to do it. I normally do it every 5-7 days. My scalp gets oily, which i dont mind. But i dont like to have wash day if i'm not commited to it.

 

[InBloom]

3 - 4 days. My hair is gross any longer than that.

 

[hair_rehab]

No longer than 14 days, especially in the summer.

 

[swirl]

2 weeks...after day 10 my scalp is on fiya!

 

[Ann0804]

I could go a week.

 

[BadMamaJama]

Maybe 3 days. I'm trying to stretch so I need to go at least a week but it be calling me!

 

[30something]

About 5 - 6 days. I usually wash every 3-4.

 

[MsDee14]

If I'm in twists, 14 days. Out styles, 7.

 

[sckri23]

When I had braids I could go 2 weeks before I get the itch

 

[SimJam]

longest is 2 weeks - and only in dire circumstances.

 

[kim1006]

I have gone approximately 28 days because I was too busy to go the shop. I would like to think I am only exposed to clean air, so I my hair was not funky.

 

[dachsies_rule!]

One week, any longer and all he11 breaks loose

 

[Lita]

7-14 days..after that it starts to matt...

Happy Hair Growing!

 

[Onhergrind09]

7 days tops, and that's being EXTREMELY generous, lol

 

[Avaya]

Six weeks .

 

[MystiqueBabe]

4-8 weeks lol.

 

[NappyNelle]

Three weeks... but by then my hair is pretty yucky and I am anxiously waiting to wash and deep condition.

 

[LongLeggedLife]

Three weeks is the longest Ive gone- with yarn braids bc it takes daaaayyys to dry.
I wash weekly w/loose hair..I think I could go 2weeks.

 

[RENIBELL]

4 weeks
gross i know.i clean my scalp when needed,but my ends hate being washed

 

[Nonie]

I've gone a week but by then I was popping pain meds like they were a daily vitamin supplement to keep my migraine from taking over my life. If I go more than 3 days w/o washing my hair, I get a headache. If I wait longer, I have to take meds or it will develops into a migraine. Go figure.

 

[melissa-bee]

8 days.
Not only does my scalp get itchy but my hair gets too dry.

 

[lilanie]

2-3 days... my hair gets drier than bones, crackers and twigs in the desert...

 

[Son26]

3 days....or my hair will feel like straw.
