How often should I wash my hair?

The thing with my hair is, that I HAVE to tease it every day beacuse of my hairstyle. and I cant wear it up in a ponytail because of the layers.

ok, you need to understand that the oil on your hair is there to protect it. ya your hair may feel gross for a day, but it will be a lot healthier over time. every time you wash your hair you get rid of the natural oils it needs to stay healthy. that’s like its version of wax that a car needs

I used to wash, blowdry and curl my hair every day, but it got really dry really quickly. I started every other day and just wore my hair in a pony tail on the “oily” days. if you do the same, you’ll notice that your hair is a whole lot softer every time you use it.

if I were you, I’d at least stop the blowdrying, flatironing or washing your hair every single day. make them happen every other day. I know you’ll think “well gee, my hair will look horrible!” so at least scale it down a bit…try to ween yourself off all of it. let your hair dry naturally for as long as possible and just blow dry it right at the end

Hey Girl, It seems too me like you got a lot going on. Personally, I was always taught to wash my hair every day. Over the years, however, I’ve learned that daily washing really dries your hair out. if your hair is oily wash it daily, if it’s normal then wash it after one day and if it’s dry then wash it after two days and also use some conditioner.

At your age kids usually produce a lot of oil. Don’t worry about washing it every day. When you get older you may find that washing your hair every day dries it out, you may need to cut back to every other day or even longer between washings.

When I was in high school my hair was so oily that washing it in the morning it was oily and stringy by noon.

well I wouldnt tease my hair cause that is really bad for your hair and it can fall out. Try using different shampoo and conditioner because Head and shoulders is for people with dry hair and since you have oliy hair Head and Shoulders is not for you.
