frequent hair washing

kirby00 Posts: 238 Joined: 2002/11/05	2003/03/26, 11:49 AM Hi ladies, How many times do you wash your hair each day? There are times when I could wash up to 3 times a day depending on when I workout :p (split up cardio/weights/morning shower for example) What do you do with your manes to keep them healthy while you're keeping your bodies healthy? -Krb

Hairdressers will tell you that washing EVERY day damages the hair & I can tell the healthy difference in my hair since I stopped the daily washing. My hair is naturally curly so the days I don't wash, I do rinse it thoroughly & then lightly condition it....style as usual. Seems to freshen it from the workouts. -------------- You only get ONE body, take care of it and it'll take care of YOU!

If you use a good quality shampoo that is low in PH, no more damage will be done to your hair by washing it everyday. I condition every time I shampoo, but I have considerable damage done to my hair due to color treatments. -------------- I will lift my own weight someday!!!!!

I know it sounds disgusting, but I honestly only wash my hair about once every two weeks. It is in 100% better condition than it was 6 mos. ago(when I started this). Also--when not washing hair, you can mist hair with a mixture of lavender oil/water. Just a few drops to a pint of water. Lavender oil has cleansing properties.

I highlight mine and blow dry ('cept when I'm lazy) and don't want to wash it everyday but then again I don't want to leave the salt in from my sweat. I'll try some of your tips like just rinsing or just conditioning...and the lavender oil - that sounds nice and calming. Thanks ladies! -Krb

As long as my hair is soft and manageable, I'm happy. If I only wash every other day, my hair is limp and feels oily. If I wash more than once a day, it feels brittle. -------------- ~Jennifer http://www.gwindalyn.com
