Every other day, and I use batiste dry shampoo on the days in between. Can sometimes last an extra day using that if I really don't feel like washing it, but my hair gets greasy quickly around my forehead.

I do every other day as well and a quick shake of talc if I need to stretch it out.

Ironically, if I have a professional wash & blow dry it easily lasts 3-4 days. What's the difference?

every morning and again in the evening if I'm going out.

Every other day. I should really wash it every day as it's very fine so looks greasy very easy but because my hair is very long it's alot of work to wash it, and the worst part is brushing it after it's been washed so I tend to wash every other day, unless I'm going out or something.

In between I use dry shampoo - don't know what I'd do without it! I used to do a fringe wash on days I didn't wash my hair but these days I use dry shampoo or the occasional headband.

I tend to wash my hair every day as it gets really greasy. My hair only seems to last one night's sleep. If I don't have plans at the weekend I would not wash it on the Sunday but have to spray it with some dry shampoo so I can leave the house without a bell!!

They may use a clarifying shampoo and are likely to use products very sparingly as it costs them more money to use more.

Most of the time we use too much product on our hair and this can weigh it down so it looks fab as soon as we have dried it (being that we don't have hairdressing qualifications or eyes at the back of our heads we probably use products to help us out rather then expertise!).

But I tend to find that even when I have had my hair cut or coloured at salons, it still doesn't last more then an additional day at a push. But then its short, I touch it alot/pull it back from my face and with sweating buckets at the gym 5 days a week its never going to last!

I wash mine about once every 5 to 7 days. It used to be more frequent but ill health has has meant it has become such a chore and leaves me exhausted. I have recently had my hair dyed red and cut short and it maintains it style very well - i have a brilliant hairdresser. It rarely gets really greasy now.

Once or twice a week - I have very long hair and tie it back if necessary.

I do wonder how cats have such lovely soft, smooth, shiny hair without shampooing - although they do have a slight smell of cat:D

Every day - Exception lazy day over the week end where I may not wash them on the Saturday.

Everyday for me. I have very very fine coloured hair and if I wash it everyday, leave to dry mostly on its own and use no products it is ok. I sometimes straighten it if I go out but try to keep this to a minimum.
