So what do you guys do after exercising? I have short hair but sweat like a pig, so I need to throw a little shampoo on to freshen up daily..I'd feel dirty if I just ran some water through it....and btw, if you're a guy, the person cutting your hair should be a barber, not a hairdresser ..

Don't worry I'm a 'gal'!

i thought feeling dirty was a good thing?

errmmmm..other topic i guess.

well, i don't exercise daily. :P however, i definitely get hot easily, can get sweaty....and i still don't shampoo daily. it really dpends. also, when you break the cycle of washing daily, you realize, your hair really doesn't feel dirty just b/c you sweat, whatever. obviously, it will, in time....but a day or two? not really. i find hair product build-up the biggest issue for shampooing more. if i use more products, i need to shampoo more often....but even then, i still go a minimum of 2-3 days between shampoos....my hair looks so much better, whether straight or curly.

for those who say they only wash their hair once or twice a week... you mean with shampoo, right? still getting it wet/clean in the shower everyday?

Uh... no. What's the point in getting it wet if I'm not going to use shampoo? Getting it wet is the worst part.

Currently I wash my hair daily. Also letting it grow a bit in length. I have to try the less is more thing dependent on situational factors.

I have oily hair so after 2-3 days it needs some shampoo, not just a rinse with water.
Conditioner is once a week.
With spring time coming up I will be back exercising, so will need to wash it with shampoo after each workout other wise I'd feel too dirty, or can I get away with just a rinse with water to get the sweat out hmmm?

I read online that the oils are good for your hair, strengthen it.
I will try conditioner only next time, see how it goes.
If I have a bad hair day at work it is all your fault, jk hehe.

Well, you can't strengthen hair, but they keep it from weakening.

Does anyone who washes their hair just a few times a week use hair gel or hair products?

I use a little gel and feel the need to wash everyday just to keep the gel from building up.. not enough to make my hair shiny, but just enought to keep it controllable. My hair seems to get frizzy without gel.

try using a brush out hairspary instead.that way you dont get a build up of products.

I wash every other day. In the winter i can go every second day. My hair looks better when it's not over washed.

I wash every other day and use hair products. And have crazy curly hair. My friends say in the morning it looks like a "ruptured chickens butt", and they are right.

I end up wetting my hair just a little bit in the shower to kind of refresh the product from the day before. I had to play with what I needed the 2nd day to figure out the right combination. I usually just add more leave in conditioner and a cream styinlg pomade. I really do like my hair better the 2nd day. The curls are more defined and smooth.

I can't go a 3rd day though, too much build up of product.

I never use any hair products - except shampoo, conditioner, and leave-in conditioner/detangler.

have you ever tired simply rinsing/wetting your hair rather than washing?
currently i rarely use hair products, but when my hair is curly i most definitely do. and yet, i still only need to wash a few times a week. rinsing your hair with water helps enormously, and actually a little 'build-up' is good for my hair, visually. when my hair is curly i probably wash my hair 2-3x a week....whereas while it is straight i wash it 1-2x a week.

also, i think most people simply use TOO MUCH of.....everything. shampoo, conditoner...and most especially hair products such as gel, mousse, etc. a little goes a long way. less is more.

everyone should try to use less. probably better for your hair, for your wallet and sure...even the environment.

I'm trying it today...no washing!

for example, when I go to this one semi-hick grocery store,so many people have the same odor, and I do not mean from lack of deodorant/anti-perspirent. It's from not washing their hair and I can smell it a few feet away and it's not good.

i'm suprised how many don't

every day except one day on the weekend when i bum it by skipping a shower

bigeye21 · August 2009

I used to.

LikeAnOcean · August 2009

I'm thinking guys with short hair can get away with washing everyday if they want. The body has to produce much less oil for less hair. If you workout everyday like me, I think its better to wash, but I suppose I should use very little shampoo.
