I try to used the tiniest bit of shampoo and only at the hair line and scalp because I know I'm stripping off my color. But, if I don't wash it a little and condition, blow-dry and style it everyday, it gets limp and lifeless, like you mentioned. It starts "sticking" together or looking "stringy" as my mom used to say. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-else-have-to-wash-their-hair-every-day#post-343753 Tue, 03 May 2011 15:54:21 +0000 Barbara 343753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL Angie! We short-haired girls have it easier, that's for sure.</p> <p>Kristie, I shampoo and condition my hair every day, but usually skip washing right after coloring my hair. I just towel-dry, work in some Schwartzkopf "Glued" and spike it up!</p> <p>Easy and fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-else-have-to-wash-their-hair-every-day#post-343751 Tue, 03 May 2011 15:49:15 +0000 CK 343751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wash my hair every day as well. I have fine hair and it's very short, so I wake up with it sticking up everywhere. :--) Also, I like to wash the product I use (styling mud) out of it every day and start fresh. Because it's so short my hair only takes a few minutes to style, though.</p> <p>I love your bob, but it always takes more time when you are fighting against your natural hair texture. How about experimenting with what your hair looks like wavy? I bet it would be cute, too, and might be a nice change for when you're not feeling up to the whole routine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-else-have-to-wash-their-hair-every-day#post-343706 Tue, 03 May 2011 14:33:08 +0000 Angie 343706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do. But then, I hardly have any hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-else-have-to-wash-their-hair-every-day#post-343701 Tue, 03 May 2011 14:28:46 +0000 Aziraphale 343701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the urge to wash my hair every day, because I love the way freshly washed hair looks and feels. However, I've found that if I actually do wash it that often, it quickly starts NEEDING to be washed that often -- my scalp seems to triple its oil production! </p> <p>For at least ten years now, I've tried to wash my hair as little as possible. The most I can go is about four days (although I have a friend who only washes her hair every two weeks!). The longer I wait before I wash it, the better it looks when I do wash it....does that make sense? Mostly I wash it every three days, but if I wake up on a non-washing morning with particularly narly hair, I'll wet and style it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-else-have-to-wash-their-hair-every-day#post-343685 Tue, 03 May 2011 14:07:29 +0000 AGirlWithStyle 343685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wet my hair every day. Some days I clease my hair, but many days, I just condition it. My hair is curly so I can't comb it when it's dry. And I can't get it to look good after sleeping on it. My only choice is to wet and style it. Luckily, it takes me less than 5 minutes to style my hair, so it's all fine! I can shower and have my hair styled in about 20 minutes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-else-have-to-wash-their-hair-every-day#post-343683 Tue, 03 May 2011 13:58:08 +0000 Kim 343683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do my hair every day, (wash it or wet it) and mine is about shoulder length and very thick! I would like to use my time otherwise but when I wake up in the morning my hair is *everywhere*, sticking up, crumpled and bent! I must *really* workout in my sleep! LOL So, I have to at least wet it then style it. (Blow dry, then style, then flat iron). </p> <p>The nice thing is once it's done (and it makes me feel less than fab to not wet it down) it lasts almost all day with hardly any fuss, so I think it's worth it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-else-have-to-wash-their-hair-every-day#post-343681 Tue, 03 May 2011 13:54:14 +0000 rae 343681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My hair is fine *and* oily. Sometimes I brush some baby powder or dry shampoo through it instead of washing... just because I'm lazy. It's actually pretty good at adding texture/volume. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-else-have-to-wash-their-hair-every-day#post-343667 Tue, 03 May 2011 12:39:15 +0000 stringy 343667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When you say you wash it every day, do you mean with shampoo or do you just wet it? Normal to dry hair usually doesn't need to be washed every day, you could probably just wet it and save a little time that way. </p> <p>A friend of mine also has wavy hair and likes to straighten it, but she uses a shower cap to keep it dry, which makes the style last another day or two. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-else-have-to-wash-their-hair-every-day#post-343665 Tue, 03 May 2011 12:14:22 +0000 Deborah 343665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Kristie, I wash and blow wave my hair every day. I also have a short bob and my hair is naturally wavy but I only wear it straight. I have tried dry shampoo and it is ok but I really like the feeling of freshly washed hair and feel it has more volume than when its been slept on and flattened. It takes me about 20 mins to dry and style and I think it's definitely worth it. You are so pretty and your hair looks lovely in the photo. I would love an extra half hour of sleep in the mornings but I do like to feel groomed and well put together...and that takes time:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-else-have-to-wash-their-hair-every-day#post-343664 Tue, 03 May 2011 12:00:09 +0000 lynn 343664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My hair is fine too and I've washed every day for many years. Then I started getting highlights and felt that daily washing was not good for it. Now I wet my hands, run them through my hair and dry it just enough to look ok. It's not perfect but some days it looks pretty darn good. I now wash every other day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-else-have-to-wash-their-hair-every-day#post-343659 Tue, 03 May 2011 10:46:17 +0000 Kristie In Auckland 343659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello ladies</p> <p>Does anyone else have to do their whole hair routine every day?<br /> The whole process of doing my hair (from scratch) every morning - just kills me with boredom!</p> <p>I have a short ish bob (I am the one on the right in the photo), and like to wear my (naturally mad and wavy) hair straight.</p> <p>Rather than oily (it's not) my hair is quite fine - so unless I wash, blow dry, then straighten my hair (GHD's) every single day - it just looks flat (no body) and ridiculous.</p> <p>I'd rather spend an extra half hour sleeping - but I am too vain! Honestly I hate doing it - but if I don't, my hair is just lifeless and looks silly.</p> <p>Sigh! I've heard that dry shampoo is good for this (to give body to fine hair without washing). Anyone else tried it? I've noticed alot of the dry shampoos are marketed for straight hair (as they make your hair damp and are therefore no good for curly prone hair ).</p> <p>Am not convinced. Maybe I should try it before writing it off :-)<br /> Anything to sleep longer! I feel bad complaining about my hair but it has always driven me mad. (My Mum has had chemo twice in the last year and lost her hair. I said then I'd never complain again but I still do).</p> <p>Thank yooooooooou </p>
