Pre-LHCF I once washed my sew-in weave one time in 4 weeks! Gross. It smelled.
Also, in H.S. I heard that not-washing your hair was the way to get good growth. So me and my girls were washing no more than 2x's per month. At most. But strangely, I hated waiting that long. My inner LHCF must have been calling me! LOL!

2 weeks pre-LHCF. That's the longest I ever went. Normally, I would wash once a week. If I felt lazy, I would just wait until the next week.

2-3 weeks. I had bad allergies and should have been washing more often, but after 2.5 weeks, my eyes would itch from the product build-up. I used to hate washing my hair. When you know better, you do better. It's hard for me to go 3 days without washing now.

I wore sew ins sometimes for 5-6 weeks before I knew you could wash them. They smelled awful and looked nasty.
Not wearing a sew in, the longest was maybe a month.

I wore glue in weaves before LHCF and only washed my hair when I removed the weave to relax. Relaxing day was wash day. No water touched my head before touch up time once a month

Pre- LHCF -
um 3 months in braids, & probably 2-4 months from laziness to be blatantly honest. My mother and family have always told me as a teen to wash my hair once a week, to keep up the maintenance of hair as far a style wise..But as a child my mother washed my hair probably once a month. So I carried the practices that I was used to as a child. After my father told me a story about when he was younger, sitting in the barbershop and one of the barbers finding roaches in a mans afro - I decided to wash my hair once a week and I did it for a good while, sometimes once every two weeks but no longer would I go 3 or 4 weeks without a wash.
After LHCF- Now I hate going ONE week without a wash. Ugh, after two days - I feel like my hair is dirty. I remember having to stop washing the week before my relaxer and I thought I was gonna die. I kept smelling my hair, running my hands through it to make sure its not greasy..I'm trying to keep it more simple and continue to wash once a week but I love 3x a week washes.

umm u still didnt say how long you went
i'm guessing it was at least a month or 2 (maybe 3). I honestly don't remember that far back. But in HS/college I washed weekly maybe every 2 weeks if i didn't feel like doing it.

I went a month without washing with a sew-in, and I will never do it again.

A friend of mine washes her hair like every 2-3 months! Whether in weave or not! And when she isn't in weave she puts dax on her hair everyday!
