Ooh, it has been three weeks before my wash last week and it was ok and I had a deep conditioner, but when I wash on Tues, Im going to have to hot oil and deep condition for at least an hour to try and recover the damage.

washing your hair???

I just realized yesterday that I've gone 3 entire weeks without washing.

I know....i know. I usual wash it every week but I've been so busy socializing and going out every weekend that I haven't had the chance. I am sooooo disappointed at myself. Yet for some reason 4 different people told me my hair looked great today. I promise I will wash it tomorrow.

So what's the longest you've gone?? I know I'm not the only one!

girl, i'm mad that you posted this

we already had this convo, and i am too ashamed to say, but look @ it this way, look how many other ladies on that site that typed 4 weeks=month and i even saw 8 weeks. see, so my ---- weeks wasn't so bad

lol, u know i will never go that long again, ok i will spill 5 weeks during my first semester @ college-let's say i was so caught up with being a college student for the first time that clean hair was not on my mind-shoot it was looking good when it was dirty

Re: what\'s the longest time u\'ve gone w/o ......

Before I knew the importance of washing your hair atleast 1x a week I have braids in for about 2 months and watched it once so I went 6 weeks without washing my hair cause I didn't want my braids to get fuzzy.

Re: what\'s the longest time u\'ve gone w/o ......

I can't believe that week four is around the corner and my lazy self has still not found the time to wash all this grease out my hair

Re: what\'s the longest time u\'ve gone w/o ......

This is embarrassing to say, but years ago when I wore crochet braids, I think I went a couple of months one time without washing.

Even growing up, I think it was only every 2 or 3 weeks. Now I wash once a week, sometimes every 2 weeks.

Re: what\'s the longest time u\'ve gone w/o ......

years ago(before i knew anything about hair care) i would go from relaxer retouch to retouch without washing my hair. also when i had braids in i would never wash.(roughly about 3 months)

Re: what\'s the longest time u\'ve gone w/o ......

I think the longest for me was like 3-4 weeks.

 

[TastesLikeMusic]

Re: what\'s the longest time u\'ve gone w/o ......

oh gosh...i've gone weeks [perhaps 3 or 4] without washing...and it was only because i was being lazy. never again. NEVER.

Re: what\'s the longest time u\'ve gone w/o ......

I don't use a lot of products or sweat in my head that much, so I can go quite awhile. It doesn't stink or itch, either. I can easily go a month with weekly rinses.

BTW- mikki727- I can not stop looking at your avatar. I know that't the "More than a Woman" video, but I didn't realize it was an outtake and now I can't stop looking at it. That's neat, where did you find that?

 

[Ms. Analeise]

Re: what\'s the longest time u\'ve gone w/o ......

Sorry. that't should be that's.

 

[EXSQUISIT]

Re: what\'s the longest time u\'ve gone w/o ......

2 weeks way back when...but now i cant stand to go more than a couple of days (conditioner washing) and shampooing once a week.

 

[lovelymissyoli]

Re: what\'s the longest time u\'ve gone w/o ......

Before coming to this site, I wouldn't wash my hair for months at a time, and this was even when I didn't have braids. If I didn't get it washed at the shop, it would never be washed. I don't think I even owned a bottle of shampoo

. I was always told that black people shouldn't wash their hair because they'll loose all their natural oils and will have dry damaged hair. Boy was I lied to...Now (for the past 2 1/2 months) I wash my hair 2 times a week, does it look like I have damaged hair...not to me...

Re: what\'s the longest time u\'ve gone w/o ......

i usually in the summer since i'm an inactive teenager i'll only wash my hair very two weeks because i hardly ever go outside(i peel in the sun...go figure

) and sweating isn't an issue because i always have the a/c kickin. But in the winter when i'm more active and in school with nasty hands touching my hair I was every week. But anyway the longest i've gone is about 2 months and it really wasn't that bad...

Re: what\'s the longest time u\'ve gone w/o ......

I'm feeling yah girl, cause back in the day, I did it too.

Re: what\'s the longest time u\'ve gone w/o ......

I feel dirty to say this and embarassed to say this but I will have not washed my hair for two months with these braids in. I use ORS Herbal Cleanser for my braids once a week and then rinse with water every other week. This is only because my hair in the back is so short that I don't want the braids to slip out (which some have already done). Then I have to put them back in.

Re: what\'s the longest time u\'ve gone w/o ......

Two weeks was always my max. I would always get my friend to braid or weave my hair because I refuse to spend a lot of money and then take it out two weeks.
