I wash my hair every other day, but my husband washes his every day. (And if for some reason he needs a second shower in a day, he also washes his hair a second time.) If I wash my hair too frequently, it just feels a little dry, but it's no big deal. It certainly doesn't fall out in clumps! If I go longer than 48 hours without washing my hair, it starts to feel greasy. (My mother has an old school textbook from the 1940s on health and hygiene that recommends washing one's hair every two weeks!) How often do blacks wash their hair?

Name : CP19184, Gender : F, Race : White/Caucasian, Age : 21, City : Montreal, Quebec, State : NA Country : Canada, I, too, wash my hair daily. It gets too oily and limp if I don't. It's not really 'dirty,' it just looks and feels better washed daily. But I also know white girls who wash their hair weekly. White hair can be dry, oily, etc.

Name : T27557, City : Springfield, State : IL Country : United States, When I had long, permed hair, I used to wash it only a couple of times a month. When I got my hair cut and grew out a fro, I found it easier to take care of, so I started washing it once a week. When I wore it really short, I started washing it multiple times a week because of the dandruff, but then I realized it was all the washing that was causing the problem! So now I just wash it once a week, or whenever I've done a lot of sweating.

Name : TR24204, Gender : F, Race : Black/African American, City : Newark, State : NJ Country : United States, Education level : Over 4 Years of College, I wash my hair at least once a day, if not more. I wash it every morning, and then often again in the evening after I've gotten home from work, and always after I've exercised. My hair, scalp and face are extremely oily, even by white standards I guess, and if I don't wash it (usually twice in a row when I shower) it just feels gross and sticks to my head. If I don't shower at all, it sticks up in all directions (think combination of Don King and Albert Einstein).

I wash my hair about once or twice a week, but more often on holiday because it has a tendency to go green from chlorine in swimming pools.
