    I'm in the dental business so there's a lot of aerosols created in the air from people's mouths. I wash my hair every day with a combination shampoo/conditioner and this prevents it from drying out.

    As an African American woman, I shampoo and condition my hair once a week. If I wash it more, my hair will be thick and dry vs. thick and healthy like it is now. I also treat my hair with a leave-in conditioner twice a week.

    With fine hair, I have to wash my hair a couple times a week. I style it each time and hope it lasts a day or two, but it usually doesn't. One reason could be that I tend not use hair styling products correctly.

    If I were to wash my hair more often than twice a week, it would be too dry.

    I have curly, frizzy hair and I was told by my stylist to wash my hair only twice a week, On the days I don't wash my hair with shampoo, I rinse my hair and use conditioner only.

    I wash every other day so my natural oils don't dry out. I color my hair so I have to be careful.

    During the summer I swim, so I have to wash my hair everyday. Still haven't found a bathing cap that will keep my hair dry. In the colder months I wash it about 3 times a week. Sometimes on the weekend I'll give my hair a deep conditioning using pure coconut oil. I'll leave it on for a couple hours and then wash it out. Really makes my hair shiny and soft.

    I try to go every other day, but if my hair is too messed up in the mrning after I wake, , I will sometimes just run conditioner through it and rinse. It's better than shampooing again, and my hair looks just as good as if I did.

    If I don't wash mine everyday it gets greasy, unfortunately.
