I WAS TRYING TO MAKE IT GREASY SO IT DOESN'T GET GREASY SO FAST OKAY?
Yes, I realise that only makes sense in my head, but WHATEVS.
"The answer to how to stop, prevent, avoid, get rid of and even perhaps cure greasy hair is to wash it as often as necessary to keep it clean and in good condition. Too-frequent washing can encourage the production of grease."
I swear this is why. I swear it. I am not just really dirty. Ish.
no it does make sense. it gets greasier the more you wash it. and eventually it starts cleaning itself.
but i cant stand having greasy hair :/
I haven't had to see anyone or do anything for the last six days, so it's been okay. AND i am MASTER OF THE PONYTAIL this week.
Thank god I have no one around to impress.
*sigh* thank you tova. I just really needed to back myself up before everyone though i was disgusting.
Ah yeah I've heard of people doing this before. Props to having the guts to do this, I could never pull it off. Keep us updated on how it goes!
Attention Internets: I am now going to shower!!!!
AND SHAVE MY LEGS! HYGIENE TWO FOR ONE!
I will keep you all informed on the grease level of my hair later. I am sure you will all wait with baited breath.
oh man. my hair gets greasy if i dont wash it every two or three days. AND my scalp gets like unbearably itchy. its miserable :C
I am telling you people, if you can tough it out, I think it helps heaps to go without washing it.
I guess we should also keep in mind I have VERY curly hair and it tends to be very dry when I wash it all the time. I think straight haired folks might be a in different boat.
My hair is pretty curly too but I still have to wash it every few days. I can usually go about three days between washings, but by the third day I'm practically scratching holes into my scalp. ITS AWFUL.
HOW DO YOU DO IT, NIKKI???? TEACH ME.
CELISSE: Come to Canada. I will take you under my wing and teach you. I will treat your scalp with tender love and care.
ALL FROM THE GOODNESS OF MY HEART!
Do you straighten your hair or go curly face? When I wear my hair curly lots, I only ever shampoo it every few days, but condition every day.
I looooove the way my hair looks/feels when I don't wash it for like 4 days. It has just the right texture (softness AND bounciness) and curl and is non-frizzy and JUST right!
If I wash it every day it makes my scalp dry and itchy and totally frizzes out. Yuck.
It depends how I'm feeling. When I was working, I would usually wear it straight. But if I wasn't feeling particularly bothered, I'd wear it curly. It tends to stay (or at least look) less greasy when I wear it curly sooooo if I'm feeling lazy...... hahaha
But yeah. I wash and condition every time. Sometimes if my hair is extra greasy, I'll just use a clarifying shampoo and no conditioner, but that's not good for everyone. My hair is very disciplined.
GUYS GUESS WHAT I'M CHOPPING MY HAIR OFF TOMORROW BECAUSE I AM PUNISHING IT. YAYAYA.
Bizzy, my hair is exactly the same!! My curls are so much better if I haven't just washed my hair. Or else mine does the exact same. And the curls don't stick together--- they get all frizzy and crazy and in your face.
Right now, I usually wear my hair curly when I'm not working and straight when I am-- i just feel like it keeps better throughout a huge 12 hour shift and crazy things. But I find that I usually put more product in when it's curly, so it gets greasier faster. I atleast have to wet it in the shower everyday.
Celisse, I cannot wait to see your new hair!!! Do you have any hair ideas for the cut?
Um, just so you guys know, I am pretty awesome right now. Shaved my legs, got myself all lotioned up, clean hair finally, exfoliated and the whole bit.
WHO WANTS SOME SEXING? [kidding, kidding, but we should all take a moment to celebrate my good hygiene.]
I pretty much get the exact same cut everytime, but since I don't have a regular stylist it's always just a tiny bit different. But it's basically this cut: http://tinyurl.com/5jdopg
Which is based on this cut: http://i33.tinypic.com/254yrut.jpg
mmmmm short n curly. all i want in life.
how does it help heaps to not wash your hair for a week? besides saving 10 cents on soap and water that is. because then you can finally buy that newspaper you've been saving up for... if it were 1950!
yes skanko, you missed a sexing. artschooled likes to look down little kids' pants and send boys and girls to different sides of the room according to content.
I'm far too anal retentive not to wash my hair. The longest I'll let it go is 2 days because I start freaking out when it gets all stupid piecey looking. BLECH.
Good for you, sugar.
Six days is pretty impressive. I've been trying to stretch out my hair washing longer and longer, but it's hard in the summer when I work out and get super sweaty. Sometimes I'll just rinse it, though. That seems to help too.
@electroduckybaththing - sweet. where is the boys side, i have a weiner.
skanko, you will have to ask artschooled. she is doing the sexing. i didn't finish high sckewl so i don't get to do fancy werks.
I don't wash my hair every time I shower, dirty hair is good stylin' hair. I used psssssst! in between washings to keep it from getting too icky.

GO WASH YOUR HAIR.
i sometimes wish i could go more than 2 days without washing my hair.
