    Once a week with Davroe anti dandruff. Use conditioner maybe once a month. I have thinnish, straightish, long hair.

    Used to wash it every second day. It was so greasy. Now it gets a little bit greasy on the last couple of days, but I usually don't go out then, so I don't care.

        Everytime I shower. Which is usually everyday. Also I only wash with two in one dandruff shampoo. Which I have to everyday or my hair goes back to being flaky. I have messy short brown hair. My hair use to be longer but I cut it and that seems to have made my flakes worse, or if not probably more noticeable.

        Rarely. If I do, it's cornstarch based. Or just cornstarch.

        I found the reason it was so greasy was because I was washing it so often. It takes a while to get through the greasy stage, but to me, it was worth it.

  • Usually I'll wash my hair, wait a day or two, then wash it again. Depends.

    Everyday, I keep my inflatables showered and clean as well. I'm not some goddamn hippie.

    I put "no rules" cos I'm a freakin anarchist, man. But it works out to about once every 4-6 days. Short, fairly thin wavy.

      Ha ha another Anarchist here: I wash my hair when it's dirty, which is usually about every 3rd day

        That's the way - you wash when YOU feel like it! Who cares what society says about it, am i rite? Yeh, I'm rite.

          I hate it when my hair is greasy or too flat and find that when it's just washed and shiny someone invariably tells me how well I look. I sometimes resort to wearing a hat if I feel it looks too stringy.

            May I ask what shampoo you use? I'm trying tea-tree oil shampoo at the moment, and...hmm it's ok. Beats head n shoulders at any rate, I don't trust that stuff.
            If I were you I'd be tempted to wash it all the time if it feels and looks better! But you're right not to, because it's better not to overdo it, isn't it? Gets greasier faster.
            It's good to keep your hair on it's toes...that's why I like the anarchist approach.

              Mostly Clairol Herbal Essences Honey, and would use the conditioner too if I could get it. Thanks, your query has reminded me to contact the company and ask why the conditioner has been impossible to find recently.

              Not tempted to wash it all the time because that just dries out the scalp.

              If I remember I repeat the shampoo and rinse thoroughly before using conditioner and my hair does seem to stay cleaner a bit longer. I used dry shampoo yesterday because I ran out of time in the morning but I'm not a fan of it because I don't like the smell.

        Good for you. I feel like the bob hasn't been getting enough attention for far too long now.
