Can anyone agree on how long you can wait in between shampoos? Even hair stylists have differing opinions. Celebrity hair stylist Frederic Fekkai votes for everyday, while Chris McMillan, Jennifer Aniston’s mane man, says a few times a week is all you need to keep hair healthy. Even The New York Times weighed in on this head scratcher, you can read more here. I personally am not an everyday shampooer. I used to be years ago, but too many stylists told me I was washing my hair color down the drain-literally. I have thick hair, and a lot of it, therefore, I wash my hair every three days. I’ve gone longer when I had a nasty bout of stomach flu-I think my dirty hair was nastier. While I enjoy when my hair is fresh and clean, I think it’s such a pain to get it that way. Unless, of course, I’m in the chair at the salon, then some one else can wash my hair until the cows come home. Left to my own devices, it’s a hat, ponytail, or some baby powder and away I go. Some hair stylists recommend rinsing your hair in the days between shampoos and using your fingertips to massage the scalp and rinse out dirt and oil. I’ve never tried the rinse only method; I would just shampoo and condition as usual seeing how my hair is already wet. No matter your shampooing preference, shiny and healthy hair will always be in style.
What about you-how long do you go without shampooing?

This post reminded me of a rhyme my mom used to sing to me when I was a little girl. I’m guessing it was when I was far too busy being fabulous {read: precocious} to take a bath.
Dirty Lil, Dirty Lil
Lives on top of Garbage Hill
Won’t take a bath and never will
(hawk, spit) Dirty Lil!

I don’t feel clean unless my hair is so, despite the damage I may be doing to my wig, I’m a once daily sudser.

I feel so nasty after reading this, but I wash mine once a week during the winter and twice during summer. It depends on how active I am. BUt I bathe daily!
Oh man, I need to wash my hair everyday! I feel gross if I don’t, but it’s also because my hair is fine and gets flat VERY quickly.
