I am currently on day three of not washing my hair, and am not washing it until tomorrow! I used to wash it every other day at least and since I stopped doing that I've noticed it's shinier, grows faster, and seems less dry. It also doesn't look greasy after not washing it for a few days (but it takes a little time of not washing it to achieve that!)

It always takes a day or two to get my hair to be that perfect lived in, style-able hair, because I need the natural oils that get stripped when washing daily. I also have naturally dark hair which I spent years highlighting blonde & am now dyed back to dark so the more I wash, the more of the dark color I lose on the previously highlighted hair. So I justify my lack of washing as preserving my color and saving myself the 200 dollar touch ups in the salon. Am I a financial wizard or just lazy? 

I wash mine once or twice a week when I don’t break a big sweat working out. 

I enjoy taking a full shower every morning. It wakes me up, makes me feel refreshed, warm, and ready to take on the day. 

But that also means I wash my hair every morning. I’ve always heard that’s a big no-no, but I haven’t noticed any visible downsides — my hair has looked and felt the same for decades. 

So, convince me: why SHOULDN’T I wash my hair every day?

How bad is it REALLY to wash your hair every day?
