I got my hair cut last night. My stylist was fixing an elderly woman's hair, she curled it with the curling iron, teased it and sprayed it. After she left, I asked how long will that hairstyle last? my stylist answered 3 weeks, that is 3 weeks til she washes it again. I said she goes 3 weeks w/o washing her hair?

    I never understood the deal with the elderly ladies not washing their hair..or wearing a wig just because they didn't want to style it.. and there is nothing worse then hugging your grandmother and catching a wiff of her hair.

    that's not true, your grandmother could be dead and maybe you don't have a chance to give her a hug.

    I can no longer skip a day any more. I am now old, I suffer from hot flashes and night sweats. My hair looks good (smoother) when I wake up but I would not want to offend anyone like the person said about hugging your grandma. I can't stand that odor. So I have to wash it daily and it's really dry on the ends. I have to let it air dry and looks like a bad afro. some days I straighten it.

    I wash my hair every second or third day. I have thick, naturally curly hair so it's better for my hair have it's natural oil rather than washing it all out.

    Yikes. I don't want to think about how painfully itchy my scalp would be after three weeks. I once went five days and it was barely tolerable. :(

    and this woman I am talking about seemed elderly but extremely fit.
    no excuse in my opinion! I hope I'm in that good of shape when I'm 70 b/c my mom is a wreck!

    People with dreads (or the ones i know anyway) wash them twice a week.

    some people are more oily than others...

    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    I know a lot of people with dreads, some wash them, some don't. But either way, their dreads don't stink.
    THANK YOU, LOSTDAWG!

    Natural oils are good for hair. I think nothing of going 4 days without washing it, when I was 20 I'd go up to a week, people assumed I'd applied some mousse product as I had that sex-god wet-look.

    For women maybe its a lil different, definitely that tobacco smell needs to go!!!

    I think elderly peoples' hair is dryer, particularly if they color it. And I thought I was stretching it if I went a third day without washing!

    My hubby had dreadlocks and used to wash them every third or fourth day....once you get a really good set of dreddies, you can wash them whenever you want, just takes ages for them to dry....

    ew lord. I swear my hair is greasy feeling by bed time if I shower in the early morning. I felt like the nastiest hag ever today because on tuesdays and fridays I have to be at work from 5:30am-8am. I just roll out of bed and show up in yoga pants and a sweatshirt, and today I ran errands afterwards and I must have looked like a homeless grease ball in target today buying all sorts of crap I didn't need. I got home and my hair was such a gross mess I couldn't do anything but shower. Ew!

    I know exactly how you feel.

    but some weekends, I'm lazy. A few times since the 12 years I've lived in my house, I did not shower as soon as I got up....and then we had power outages.
    We have well water and it's electric -- no shower unless hubby hooks up the generator. And I felt gross.
