Hair?

Question

I saw Gunce post something about washing hair, so I wanted to add onto it to get it more specific. What is your race, and how often do you wash your hair? I know that different races generally have different hair textures. For me, I'm white, and I wash my hair every day because it's very oily.

Answer

My sister is black and she'll only wash her hair when he hair isn't in braids or she doesn't have a weave. And she uses this really freaking expensive stuff my mom buys her, but when her hair is down and natural she'll wash it nearly everyday. 
My hair is a grease bucket, and I really don't want to be lectured about washing my hair too much. After one day it's horrible and I've done it and tried to just use dry shampoo but after a while it ended up building up in my hair and it just felt disgusting. I cannot get over the way it feels and I have no issues washing it everyday. It's also grown longer and healthier than it has in years because I do not dye it nor use any kind of heat on my hair at all and I take biotin.

Answer

I wash my hair usually every 3 days.

Answer

I'm white, I want to wash my hair everyday, but if I do it gets sooo dry. So I wash it about every 3 days and use dry shampoo every day that I don't wash it.

Answer

I wash mine twice a week....one day with shampoo and conditioner and one day with just a double dose of conditioner. I'm half white and black and my hair leans more toward the ethnic side. I flat iron my hair which is the main reason I don't wash it but twice a week however, when I leave it curly, I have to wash it like every other day or it gets dry and gross. But it's super soft and shiny when I just do the twice a week and flat iron it.

Answer

I'm mixed ( my mom is white and my dad is mixed, so I basically look like an extreme light skin) and I have fairly course hair, it grows fast, it's very wavy and it down past my shoulders. I wash my hair once every three days, bc if I do it anymore than that, no mater how much conditioner I use, it gets dry and brittle! I use coconut oil on my roots and tips as well.

Answer

Your hair is only oily because you wash it everyday. When you wash daily, you are constantly stripping the oils, which makes your scalp produce more than it needs in order to make up for the lost oils. If you start letting your hair get and stay oily for a couple of days between shampooing, your scalp will start producing less oil. Start shampooing every other day, and you'll already see a big difference. Eventually you'll only need to shampoo every three or four days.
