Who washes their hair everyday?

Options
I have quite fine straight hair and usually wash it every 3 days or so. However, whilst it's summer I'm thinking about washing it everyday.


Does anyone else do this? If so is there a shampoo/conditioner for use everyday and how does your hair fair when washing everyday?

    I wash mine every day. It's short hair though, which probably helps it survive this, but also causes the reason why I wash it every day - it stands on end after sleeping and won't behave until it's washed. It's also easy to wash short hair, so there's no reason not to while I'm in the bath or shower.

    I use home made soap to wash it. Shampoo makes me itchy, but maybe that's just me. My hair looks and feels good with the soap and everyday washing.

    I would have thought that most people wash their hair every day.

    I wash my hair at least once a day. Use a small amount of shampoo, very rarely conditioner and leave it to dry naturally.

    My hair is quite long, although when it was short I did wash it everyday and generally used a kiddy shampoo.


    Now it's long I tend to leave it and just refresh with a dry shampoo. Also my hair tends to knot very easily, especially when it's wet, so rely on a detangler spray to help with combing. I also let it dry naturally and never use products on it.


    I will give it a try for a week or so, see how it goes and what effect it has on my hair.

    I wash my hair every day. It tends to look better on the second day if I don't but I don't like the way it feels if I leave it. I also have longish hair and I don't feel that it's 'clean' if it's not been washed. I try to use a more natural shampoo and at the moment I'm loving the Tara Smith 'gorgeously gentle' shampoo and conditioner, which I get for £1.99 a bottle online.

    I tend to wash it every day, but can just about go 48 hours sometimes until it looks a bit bleurgh ... Some days I just wash my fringe, though, as it gets greasy quickly.

    I once went about 15 days without washing it because I was so ill and it was absolutely awful. I had to shampoo it about 4 times!!

    I wash mine every day too - I wouldn't choose to not wash any other bits so why would my head be any different?

    I use a normal shampoo - Elvive or Philip Kingsley - and then a conditioner. I have shoulder length hair and have always washed it every day with no adverse effects.

    I wash mine every day, see lots of advice to wash it every 2-3 days but I find that a bit disgusting tbh.

    I wash mine every other day. Anything more than that and it doesn't like it and goes limp and greasy. I only use conditioner once a week.
