Good question

I dont do conditioning washes except for right after i touch up i may do them 3 times a week for the first 2 weeks following my touchup. I FINALLY got myself from shampooing every 8-10 days to once a week (every friday) ooohhh laa laaa

I use Cream of Nature in the white bottle w/green writing. I dont use a seperate condtioner after using the CON (whenever i've tried to do that all it did was turn my hair from slip city to a hot mess) i deep condition once a month with Queen Helene Cholesterol. i apply Elasta QP Oil Moisturizer and blowdry with a comb attachment. --- jainygirl

i wash my hair every 10 days. i'm scared my hair will dry out if i do it more frequently, and what i'm doing works for me so...

I wash about 2-3 times a week. I think it benefits me greatly because my scalp is clean. I also notice that my new growth comes in a lot faster than when I use to wash every 1-2 weeks. The longest I can go without shampooing my scalp is 5 days and thats hard

, its actually therapeutic to feel nice clean hair and scalp, especially when I use a conditioner that gives me slip and moisture, IM in heaven

BTW, if I have a rollerset, i try not to wash for 5 days. I like to get the wear outta my wrap. I've been rocking a ponytail for the past month and will continue to do so until my next relaxer.

Britt, how long is your hair????????

 

[Britt]

My hair is about an inch past my shoulders. Im growing out an ear length bob cut that I got mid last August. Considering that I chopped my hair last August with about 5 trims since then, my hair is growing a pretty good rate.

 

[queenofmean68]

I have baby fine hair and I wash once maybe twice a week if needed. Washing daily or every other day is TOO MUCH stress on my hair.

 

[alliyah4eva203]

i wash twice a week. one is a normal wash the other is a conditioner wash. my hair feels more moisturized since i started doing conditioner washes.

 

[Angelicus]

i co-wash daily and i may shampoo twice a month.

 

[Aisha]

I was washing daily but I have found that it is necessary...I am back down to once a week or whenever I switch styles(when I use a lot of styling products like gel and mousse)

 

[BrEE]

i wash once a week. ive considered doing it more but it takes too long for my hair to dry fully.

 

[lisatamika]

I wash and deep condition on Mondays and conditioner wash on Wednesdays and Fridays.

 

[MyNameIsCiara]

I shampoo once a month and I conditioner wash daily.

 

[LABETT]

I wash 3-4 times a week two washes are co washes.

 

[Tracy]

I shampoo once a week and co wash the rest of the time. I chose 3 times, but with summer coming I'll more than likely rinse my hair with conditioner anywhere from 3-5 times a week. One of those will be with shampoo....

 

[PrettyBrownEyes]

I wash every 5-7 days. Every 5 days is best for my hair but, if I'm busy I may wait another day or 2 but not past 1 week. My hair and scalp seem to stay cleaner with my every 5 days routine.

 

[moneychaser]

I wash my hair every 3 days.. I have to force myself to wait that long, I don't know why but I LOVE washing my hair

 

[mytia]

I wash twice a week (every three days) my hair and scalp has gotten so use to this that if I go longer I scratch like I have flees, and I seem to get new growth a whole lot faster from washing more often.

Girl so do i, u making me wanna go wash my hair now.

 

[SilkyandSmooth]

I wash my hair twice a week. I look forward to those washings.

 

[hondahoney007]

Once a week at the dominican salon. I use Cream of Nature in the green bottle. I also use the Affirm 5-in-1 reconstructor.

 

[Dolce_Dawn]

I bathe my hair once a week, but since I've discovered KeraCare hydrating poo(which leaves my hair and esp my newgrowth like SILK) I've been thinking about making it 2x/wk.

 

[silvergirl]

Twice a week in the winter months, once every 2/3 days in the summers.

 

[nolechik]

Since joining the site I've gone from washing once every two weeks (ewh!) to once every week! Until I find the superb poo for my 4b hair, I'll stick to the once/wk rountine. I can't stand to go any longer now!

 

[Isis]

I wash every 3 days (twice per week). I started doing this last July when I first came to the hair boards. I love the difference this simple change has made with my hair! It stays moisturized until the next wash which for me means healthier, stronger and longer hair.

 

[dontspeakdefeat]

I co wash daily and wash with poo once or twice a week depending on how much product is on my hair. I use a mild protein at least once a week and I also do pre poo treatments at least once a week.

 

[Falon]

I wash every 3 days sometimes I might do it in two if the hair has a lot of product buildup.

 

[simplycee]

I shampoo once a week and I may do 1 to 2 co washes in the week. I let my hair tell me what it needs. I find that doing my hair is not such a hassle now that I air dry.

I use distlled water for my final rinse. I do a pre treatment before I shampoo and condition with heat once a week.

 

[deeplyrooted]

I use to conditioner wash on Wednesdays and shampoo & condition on Saturdays, but now that I've found the joy of conditioner washing, I do that instead. I conditioner wash about once every 4-5 days, so I picked twice a week. I haven't shampooed since April 24th.

I just mixed some baking soda with my usual (Nature's Gate Tea Tree Oil) conditioner today, and it worked like a dream. My hair wasn't stripped at all, and detangling was soooo easy and quick. My hair felt so good afterward. Makes me wanna get up and do it all over again.

 

[Poohbear]

Right now, I shampoo every Saturday. I do a pre-shampoo treatment before shampooing with Suave Naturals Coconut Conditioner for 30 minutes. Since I started exercising daily this week, I did rinse my hair with just plain water for 3 days straight.
Next week, Im going to start the ponytail method...shampoo once a week and conditioner wash twice a week and airdry my hair in a ponytail each time.
