    I shower and wash my hair every second day and my hair is fine.

    Regards clothes, there's clothes you change every day, but also things like skirts/trousers/cardigans that you wear for several days, no?

    I often wear jeans twice before putting them in the wash, no more than twice though. Everything else I only wear once. Don't wear cardigans very often and never skirts.

    Every couple of days is fine. When I was a kid, it was once a week!

    Hair washed everyday because unfortunately for me, I still have 'greasy teenage hair,' even though it is a long time since I was a teenager!


    I would love to leave it a day or two but it is just too greasy. It did improve during pregnancy but back to normal now.

    Me too! :D

    I have always washed every day, apart from when I'm v. ill. I can't stand that feeling when you're hair's greasy. I never feel like I've properly woken up, either, until my head has been under the water.

    I shower everyday but wash my hair every 2/3 days, it's quite long and frizzy so the whole process of drying and straightening it takes too long and it means getting up extra early everyday... so no! And no, I can't do it at night because it looks horrible in the morning.


    I would love to have the energy and willpower to get up early and wash it everyday, but I don't.

    I can get away with every 3 days, but in hotter, sweatier weather it's every other. On holiday it often ends up every day! I can't shower without washing my hair.
    I don't even do 'essential bits' on in between days which I'm sure some of you find disgusting. My partner would surely tell me if I smelled? He does similar and I would tell him if he needed a shower (on day 3 he does).
    Obviously if I've exercised it means showering that day!

    I do have long thick hair that takes a really long time to dry even with a hairdryer so getting my hair wet in the morning before work is a big nono.

    I have to wash my hair every day. I really really wish I didn't need to but although I have long passed teenage years, my hair is all greasy and looking horrible after 24 hours. To make it worse, I have to dry it AND straighten it (no really I have to, I look like a mad woman otherwise). I work full-time, travel up to an hour to get to my office...I have to get up early and by the time I am done with the routine, I am already exhausted!

    The only compensation is that my oily complexion means it has kept my face naturally moistered and therefore I have very few wrinkles for someone my age.

    My hair is very fine and needs washing every day or it looks lank. I get round it by washing on the first day and using dry shampoo on the second.

    WOW!!!!! Washing it everyday will strip the natural oils from your scalp, which actually makes it product even more so your hair is oilier.

    Actually - that's not what the trichologist told me at the Philip Kingsley clinic. Nor the dermatologist.

    The scalp is no different to any other part of the body - it produces sweat etc and the build up of oil and sweat will smell bad if left unwashed.
