Showering / Washing Hair- How Often??

[shocksl]

I normally can't stand a day without showering or washing my hair. I don't feel my best. But I guess it isn't too good to wash my hair.

how often is too much a week to wash your hair and applying shampoo?

I use Alpecin shampoo

Too much would be like washing it everyday.The recommended is 3-4 times a week but if you really cant stand a day without showering go for low maintenance haircuts.

I have very small hair as it is. How often should I use shampoo?

2 times a week, you can wash your hair every day with just water no shampoo however.

Do you think it makes much of a difference? I've shampoo'd and conditioned every day since before I can remember. 26 now. I just find my hair looks absolutely terrible on the second day, always have. No shine and it feels greasy. Am i f*****g up?

You and I have very similar hair. I really think you can condition a few times per week and it would be fine. The way you know your hair is over conditioned is it will be too soft and feel lifeless. I don't condition my hair every day anymore. I have to shampoo it everyday just so I can style it after I have bed head.

God if your hair is anything like mine, bedhead is the absolute worst. Fringe falls limp and lifeless and temples are exposed awkwardly. Can't sort it out without shampoo. You might be onto something though re conditioner. I always associated that soft feeling with good hair but the thinner it gets the limper it lies. Will try cutting down, cheers mate.

I only wash my hair once every week or two. I find it looks better that way. more full and less fluffy. Also if you are a shedder you are likely to shed more hair when washing regularly.

Sounds similar to mine. Have to wash it with shampoo every 3/4 days maximum or it looks gappy/lifeless.

As I previously mentioned it may be best to wash it every 2 days and on the 3rd day use shampoo

I condition my hair everyday. Shampooing it twice a week.

Hair loss is genetics, I know people who have used all different shampoos but still had great hair, and others who were very careful about what they put on their hair, and still go bald.
