hi everyone first post
can anyone tell me if you need to wash your hair i hvent washed mine in 6 weeks and ive been rinsing it twice a week with hot water and it clean and in great shape no static or lankness does anyone have any info on not washing hair i heard if you dont wash it after 3 months it returns to its natural state and dosent secrete oil so much????
Hi there :)
Yes, after a while the scalp gets back to a normal secretion rate and will not be bothersome. Rinsing with water will get rid of the dirty stuff so if you keep rinsing it frequently there shouldn't be any problem :)
The general rule is to do whatever works for you. If it bothers you do it more gradually, and see when it feels good or bad!
good luck with the experimentation

thanks vincent:)
I recommend washing with shampoo on a regular basis and conditioning on a daily basis. Depends a bit on your hair length as short hair doesn't require much maintence except for constant cutting.
Hair/skin type.
I have naturally oily skin/hair. Before I began "bleaching" my hair I never used conditioner. The "bleached" hair required conditioner to even get a comb through it.
This has caused me a tremendous amount of grief in the last year. My scalp breaks out and gets itchy if I use conditioner, but until recently I couldn't prevent getting conditioner on my scalp. I also didn't know what was going on until I began removing different things from my regime. Until I completely removed conditioner from the situation, I had problems.
I have now irradicated conditioner from my schedule, except once a week on the ends. I still have approx. 6" of bleached hair, but have switched to a jojoba oil "spritz" to the ends once it's dry (after washing).
Removing approx. 3" from the ends removed the severely damaged area, so my hair is much more manageable now. I can get a comb through it after washing without using conditioner.
I wash every other day. I tried going longer, and it is greasy and limp. I did this for a month with no improvement. My body creates so much oil that it is impossible for me to go more than 2 days without washing.
Perhaps this is a female thing? I'm wondering if it's because the female body stores more fat than the male, because our bodies have to be ready just in case a pregnancy happens?
