Some people may was their everyday, others may only need to wash their hair once a week or once every two weeks. Many people often find themselves asking the same question: how often should I wash my hair? We're here to tackle that question.
In this episode of MANE, we're breaking down the ins and outs of wash day, wash routine, natural hair care, washing hair, different types and textures like curly hair, kinky hair, straight hair, and we'll also answer some other questions like, what does tender headed mean?
When it comes to hair, hair washing, and hair care routines, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Different hair types, hair style, and hair textures require different care. Let's break it down and untangle this complication subject.

I've lied about that too! I'm white with wavy hair. Once my hair turned grey, I had to start washing less often, twice a week at most. But my hairdresser asked how often I shampoo, and I said every other day. I just didn't want her to think I didn't have good hygiene. A few years ago I learned about co-washing, so I do that sometimes. I often watch hair care and styling videos made by women of colour, mainly because I love seeing all the beautiful hairstyles, but I've gotten some really good tips for my own hair that way.

Thats actually false. Both types can be just as dry after shampooing. The main difference is straight hair wont become frizzy but dry curly hair will have a disturbed curl pattern basically every hair is pointing to a different direction = frizz. Curly hair is not as oily is becausr its thick absorbs more. Oil doesnt travel on its own without brushing

I used to think natural hair was a breeze, but you have to nurture and pamper your hair MORE than any other hair type. But when you take good care of your hair, she will be happy and she will look out for you because your hair will be so beautiful and popping you won't even feel the need to wear weaves.

My hair need moisture and just putting products in my hair will not cut it for weeks on end. I need to wash once per week. That added water REAALY perk my hair up. If I exercise and sweat my hair gets hard, dry and break so of course I have to wash more often. I do what my hair needs and not what the trend/opinion is about hair care.

My hair does the exact opposite lol. I have to go months in order for it to be fairly normal and washes well afterwards. I only ever lose a little amount of hair unlike washing it weekly or daily where I actually lost more hair and it acted up worse. So I guess to whatever our hair really needs, we do. So if I got to wear weave, I got to do what is best for my hair.

See my hair is the opposite I only use shampoo once every 2 weeks to a month and it's on it's best behavior when I go a month. My hair is so dense that oil doesnt get to my ends and it gets way too dry too fast if I use shampoo weekly no matter how great a deep conditioner, leave in, sealer, cream I use. It's also low porosity so when i shampoo i need to sit under a dryer to deep condition so it's just a lot of work.

My daughter has 4c hair and it's super long. I found that washing her hair every 3 to 4 weeks works best, because her hair is so dry and loves to get tangled. I add very little product (just a little coconut oil) to avoid build up which keeps me from over manipulating it. I get it straightened it every 3 months so she can get a trim and take all the knots out. I doubt her hair would be as long and healthy as it is (especially for fragile 4c hair), if I tried to wash it more often. Figure out what your hair needs and just do right by it.

That's true. I'm white, and my hair type's 3b (I've heard it's a Celtic thing, but I don't know for sure). The Sodium Laureth Sulfate in most shampoos is really not good for even European curly hair, but the challenge is finding shampoos that don't have it. I've essentially given up on finding one, since the cheap brand I use isn't destroying my hair and I have a good routine down that makes up for any potential damage (like rinsing with cold water, and using a little leave-in moisturiser). I wouldn't wash my hair with some strange hotel shampoo for any amount of money.

curly hair is different from afro textured hair. it’s also more mainstream and socially acceptable than afro textured hair

@Lolee56 5 жыл бұрын

raviolii believe me when u brush out ur hair and leave the house with poofy curly hair it’s not acceptable anywhere... people will judge u and think u look sloppy, but I get what ur trying to say there is more stigma on Afro hair

Thanks for the discussion with all the beautiful ladies. It was very informative. I especially enjoyed the peice on how often do we wash our hair. Summing up depending on your hair type you can wash every day or whenever hair is feeling uncomfortable. Moisture Conditioner works for me as a co wash.

i have naturally very straight hair, i wash my hair once a week or less. i had to train my hair to not get greasy meaning that shampooing your hair strips the oil from your scalp sending panic signals to your scalp telling it to produce more oil the longer you go without washing your hair the less oil your scalp your hair will produce because it starts to realize it has enough it took me a very long summer of very greasy hair to finally get my hair to the point where i only have to wash it once a week

@corriejo3655 5 жыл бұрын

Thyme Phillips yes this is exactly what I was going to say. My hair dresser freaks out over how healthy my hair is and how fast it grows and I told her I only wash it like every 10 days, she was like that makes so much since. The girl in this video saying her hair started looking greasy on day two had me “girl no, put it up and leave it alone.” P.s. is your first name Thyme? If so, I love it.

Brendons Forehead that make sense, I was wondering that actually about the girl in the video. Like she probably doesn’t like to wear her hair up. Mine takes about 5 days but I don’t mind wearing it up. Plus mine is really really thick. I think it’s harder for people with thinner hair to go so long

Interesting, I always travel with my own shampoo, but I don’t have to use it. I shampoo every 10 to 20 days, more often if needed. I have type 4 B/C high porosity hair. I never thought about hotels having shampoo and conditioner for my hair type, you are right we should demand it! We spend money at these hotels that only cater to straight haired people! Most races have many textures of hair, even the blow dryers should have attachments for our textures. We have learned to take all of our products and tools with us!

About the Lizzie McGuire element here.... people may wanna rethink shampooing just once. The first round of shampoo just washes away the superficial dirt that your hair would have gathered from the elements. But it’s the second round that does the actual cleansing. It’s absolutely important for cleansing your hair follicles which is so vital for healthy hair growth.
