    I am a hair stylist and it is good to wash hair every other day if it needs it. Hair needs the nutrients of your natural oils and moisture to maintain optimum condition. If you get hot and sweaty every day then it is better to wash after to get rid of the salts that can dry hair out. Use a good restructuring treatment at least once a month!

    I wash mine every day because it just gets flat and oily if I don't.

    I have an oily scalp and wash my hair almost every day, probably 6 times a week. I don't use shampoo though, only conditioner so my hair doesn't lose moisture and become frizzy.

    I am a stay at home mom of a 13 month old with one on the way. I do not have the time nor energy to wash it more than 2 times per week because my hair is waist length and my husband won't let me cut it. Takes too much time to comb out all the tangles after I shampoo it and then to blowdry it...And I'm a licensed cosmetologist, so I know better! But again, just haven't the energy. Wished I could afford to go to the salon once or twice a week to have someone else deal with it but can't afford that on one income.

    I wash it everyday I am outside most days when the weather is nice and in texas that means you are sweaty as soon as you step outside.

    My hair usually works best for me if I was it every other day.

    Sad but true, I wash my hair once every other week. The more I wash it the more dry it gets.

    Sunday, Wednesday, and Friday. Sometimes more often. I wish I could go longer between washes because I know it's bad for you hair. My scalp is too oily to go longer and I hate the feel of dry shampoo. I try to deep condition once a week (usually Friday or Sunday).
