How often do you wash your hair?

Every other day usually, but because I am on a water meter, I tend to leave it till the third. I have thick greasy hair - I really should be washing it every day, but it’s the cost 😫

Totally depends on what I'm doing and where I am going. My hair looks best when newly washed but it also takes me the best part of an hour to wash and style it so I leave it as long as possible between washes. Generally I can get away with 4-5 days but when it was short and layer cut I used to wash it every other day. I wear a riding hat 3-4 times a week and in hot weather it really messes up my hair so then I'm forced to wash it more frequently. I am finding longer hair is easier to keep looking nice between washes.

Btw I’m just a wash and go - towel and a quick blow dry. No styling etc - mine is a straight, slightly layered bob.

sounds to me like you need a better cut. I also have thick hair in a chin length bob with a fringe. I wash it every day, because our shower directs the water straight down so I can't avoid it, but I just blast it dry with the hairdryer, turn the sides under with a round brush and the rest just sort of falls into place because the hairdresser did such a good job.

Everyday under the shower short pixie needs a quick wash every day,5 mins to dry quick ruffle with the fingers and a blob of wax am hot to trot.

I used to have short hair and it was much easier to deal with (washed it every 3 days and just blasted it dry). I do like a longer style though and it’s actually very well cut but as my hair is thick, course and naturally wavy it’s not as easy. Envious of those who just wash and go!

Every other day ideally, but it sometimes is left for a day longer if I am unlikely to be seen by anyone. Ear-length wavy-ish hair with a fringe. I just leave it to dry naturally, encouraging it to turn under a bit. I do own a hair dryer, but never use it.

Every 3 days, and I just wash, tussle and go.

Twice a week my hair is long now and curlyish sometimes I air dry it or sometimes use my hot air brush. I’ll wear it up sometimes.

Every 2 days, occasionally 3. It just doesn’t look as nice if I leave it any longer. Very fine hair that was greasy when I was younger. Was also a lot thicker, though still not bad. Drying doesn’t take long, but I have to use the hairdryer or it looks like the Wild Woman of Doom.

Once a week. Now that is a bit longer,I find it doesn't need washing so frequently.

Every 5/6 days shower wash, condition, towel dry then leave. Chin length layered bob with fringe, quite thick with a wave, takes no time at all.

I used to be a wash hair every day person, I felt it was necessary when my hair used to be greasy, but that is no longer the case. I will happily leave it 3 days or so, unless I'm going out. It takes me maybe half an hour to style it, a bit of a fag, I use a heated brush which does a great job on my chin length bob, almost salon standard, I wouldn't be without it.

Well I’m quite the slut😁here. About once a week and I’d go longer if I could. It’s thinner now, (used to be as thick as a horse’s tail) and shoulder length, often tied back. In fact it’s easier to cope with after a couple of days.

Maybe it’s because I’m a fire sign, but I keep away from water as much as possible lol and hate standing under the shower to do it. I kneel over the side of the bath and shower separately.
Plus my late mother would be horrified as I often wash it late at night, put a towel on the pillow and let it dry overnight.

Every day. My hair is the bane of my life😩

Daily for me too, in the shower. Quick blow-dry afterwards. If I don't, it sticks out all over the place, not a good look!,

Lacres I had the same hair as you until around four weeks ago. I’ve gone full on pixie washed daily it’s the easiest, tidiest and actually has taken years off……

My hair was cut last month it’s now a short layered bob and curly. I wash it once a week and scrunch it til it's dry. I was recommended to use sea salt spray rather than hair spray it does enhance the natural curl.

downtoearth that’s me exactly, every morning in the shower, short pixie cut, quick dry bit of wax and off to go lucky i ve got fairly thick hair. I couldn’t not wash my hair
Every 5 weeks a quick trim at the hairdressers £17 and good to go

The trend seems to be you can wash it less if it’s thick. My hair is also dry and never feels greasy. Perhaps every 4 days is sensible for me, I just couldn’t face it this morning when it was due it’s 3 day wash!

Once a week if possible. Perhaps less if I'm going somewhere where I want to look a bit more presentable. In the interval I use a shower cap.

I've been strongly influenced for many years by the belief that it's really not good for hair to be washed daily (backed up by my hairdresser) and it's not environmentally sound.

Oh, me too, LaCrepescule

Short, longer (not long these days) it's a daily fight whether I wash it or not.

This.

About twice a week - it's poker straight, layered bob, and I have to dry it with the Babyliss rotating brush to get some lift. Dries quickly, thank goodness, as I find it a bit of a chore.

I'm envious of you pixies - tried a few years ago and it wasn't a good look as I don't have a pixie face!
