Common conclusions

Those with curly hair should wash their hair when hair is dirty.

Straight, thin hair needs more regular washing than curly or wavy hair. Straight hair absorbs sebum quickly, making it appear greasy even quicker. Most experts suggest washing your hair every 2-3 days as a general rule. Over washing, particularly with harsh shampoos, can cause hair damage and loss, particularly when paired with chemical treatments or hair styles such as tight braids that tug at the roots.

If you have oily hair, you can wash it every day if you use a mild shampoo and follow up with a decent conditioner. If necessary, use dry shampoo to extend the time between washes.

Over washing may be the cause of your dandruff. An excessively dry scalp is characterized by dry hair, scratching, and frequent flaking or dandruff. You should wash your hair less often.

Just use shampoo two to three times a week. To avoid drying out or over washing your hair, limit your shampoo use to two to three times per week.

Exercising can cause you to sweat a lot and make you feel like your scalp needs to be scrubbed. Regardless of how much you sweat, you can shampoo 2-3 times a week.

Every other day, or every 2 to 3 days, without washing is usually good for the average person.
