Is it normal that i wash my hair everyday?

I have dark blonde hair and have always been taught to wash it every day. However, I've been hearing that a lot of experts recommend only washing your hair every other day or so. The problem is, my hair starts to get greasy after a few hours, and not washing after I've slept is definitely not an option. Does anyone else have this problem? I'm also wondering how many people actually wash their hair every other day and whether they think it's healthier that way.

    I wash my hair every other day. It seems to be healthier that way. It doesn't get dried out. I don't get split ends anymore. I'm also older so I don't get oily hair. But, it is less fresh looking the next day.

    I don't wash my hair every day but in my opinion I don't think you should either. You could end up washing out all the natural oils in your hair and it's ok if you're hair is greasy. Thats accually natural. I think you should wash you're hair every 2 days or 1 day out of 1 week.

    I wash my hair every two days (my body everyday thats different story) because washing it everyday dries it out, split ends, itchy sensitive scalp

    wow are you blessed with oily skin as well? lucky you!

    I wait at least 3 to 4 days. My hair has is really healthy and plus I deep condition so it feels like silk. I also put coconut oil in my hair. But its understandable, some people have over active oil glands.

    I am also a blonde and I used to have the same exact problem. I was also told to wash it every other day. For the first few weeks, yes it looked oily but then I bought dry shampoo which is just a spray that hardens as a powder. Hen when it ran out, the first few weeks were over and now I don't get oily hair on my off days bc my body is used to it. You can also use baby powder. :) try it!!

    just try different shampoo. you can get shampoo for dry, oily or normal hair. if you are that concerned then go to a salon and ask what they would recommend. they are the experts after-all!

    I wash mine every couple days... I live in a sub tropical climate where in summer it's muggy but winter warm and moderate. If I wash it too often it goes disgustingly
    Oily looking and sticks to my scalp

    You can try a dry shampoo. It sucks up the oils so you don't have to wash every day, or keep washing everyday but condition and use a weekly hair treatment.
    Either way, it's not a dire problem. I have greasy hair too after a day; dry shampoo works.

    The more you wash it, the greasier it gets. If you just start washing it every other day, it'll look greasy at first but it'll be for the better. I rarely wash my hair at all now and it doesn't look too greasy. I'm a guy though so it doesn't matter as much.

    It'd be healthier every other day so u don't dry your hair out. It needs it's natural oils. But if u alwYs get them oils more often then wAsh ur hair when needed.

    this is the exact same tbung for me! i heard that its okay to wash your hair everyday in the warmer weather b/ the air is moister; but in the winter shen the air is dry your only supposed ti wash it every other day. i can never do that either, so i wash it ever day but use a good shampoo and. onditioner to help it stay moist.
