How do you NOT wash your hair?

baby powder and a straight iron...

 

wow.. really? i've never thought of that lynseyq

 

Dr. Bronner's Magic Soap. All Natural...keeps your hair clean and friendly. Lavender and Peppremint are the best ones

 

Wash you hair or it will smell and make you break out! I can't stand the way my hair smells after two days. It's like I can't wait to wash it. Oh.....it won't clean itself. If you don't like shampoo, maybe washing in salt water and then putting conditioner through it could work well for you.

 

Well is you wash your hair for the first while it'll be real greasy for a little while. Mine used to be I wash it every few days and it really doesn't get all that greasy.

 

yeah I was wondering about this too. I told my boyfriend about my "system" and he thought it was the stupidest thing he's ever heard. lol The day I wash my hair, it's a bad hair day, coz my hair since it's short, doesn't look good clean, coz I like it messy, bed head look. So the second day after washing it's starting to look good, and then the third day after washing it looks perfect, but then by the 4th day it's too greasy and I have to wash it again, so It's like this 3 day process for one day of when my hair look's the best, it's annoying.

I would dry the corn starch thing but I don't want flakes of starch all in my hair-

 

When my mom was back in her Hippie days in the '70s, she collected her rain water in a big bucket out on the porch and she'd pour some in the sink, add some camomile oil to it and wash her hair in that. She said it made her hair very clean, shiny, and soft.

 

"How do you not wash your hair?"

Easy. You know where it says "wash, rinse, repeat" on your shampoo bottle? Ignore that.

 

I love it when I go outside and my hair is wet and it freezes.

 

i didnt really read ALL the replies, but whatever


all i wanted to say was that after a while of not washing your hair, it wont be greasy anymore, and will basically keep itself clean. but that´s after GRADUALLY changing your washing schedule. let your scalp (not necessarily your hair) get used to going longer without washing, but do it really slowly.

right now, i wash my hair twice a month, at best. but it´s more that i just wash my scalp and dont really worry about the hair (dreads). i do put lotion around my scalp because it does get a little red sometimes, but it gets better and better as time goes on (sorta).

so let it happen over many months of changing your washing schedule to not be washing your hair so much.

 

Forgive me for asking, but.... Y'all shower in between hair washings, right? Do you wear a shower cap on your head?

I wash my hair every other day. I used to not even be able to do that, but now it's gotten a lot better. I think it looks better on the second day. Seems like it "calms down" a little. However, I only shower every two days in the winter because I don't get that dirty. So I was trying to think how you could shower and not wash your hair.....

 

I was my hair about once or twice a week...and yes, I take a bath every day...I just don't always use soap ( well, I always use soap on the necessary parts...ya know) . My dad's dermatologist actually told him that it was not necessary to use soap every day, but it is good to sluff off the dead skin with a loofah or something like that. Patchouli is my best friend. By the way, my best friend tells me that patchouli smells like cat pee. Isn't that sweet??

 

Geez, I can't go one day without washing my hair. I have baby-fine hair that goes to the middle of my back and I'm addicted to the way my hair feels and smells after a good shampoo and conditioner. It just looks so much better to me, especially if I'm wearing it all down. If I'm wearing it braided back, it isn't as bad, but I still feel greasy until I've had it washed.

Peace...

 

i have blonde hair... if i dont wash it for a day it gets all greasy... but i found something that works... just wash your hair with normal cheap bar soap.... if you get the the tanglies then its prolly not a good idea because the soap definately don't control tangles.. but i dont brush my hair so i dont have to worry about that... but beware the first like 3 times you wash with the bar soap your scalp will get dry as it ajustes to the soap... good luck!!

oh i just remembered!

i dont wash my hair THAT often, but i sorta do, anyways, how do you keep hair SMELLING good??? my parents smoke cigs (and other stuff.....lol) and the cigs make my hair smell bad... i wear patchulli... if i put it in my hair will it smell good?? or damage it??

 

If heard you can put baby powder on your hair and it won't look greasy anymore.

I usually wash my hair everyday unless I am at a festival. Then I go several days.

 

im the queen of not washing my hair.......i find it better....i duno why,i jsut hate having clean hair,i liek the crap n scruffyness of it

 

hahaaaaa SNAP!! arlia when my hair wasn't dreads i loved it when it was kinda matted and really curly, it's great when you come out of a gig and it's full of sweat.... *grins*

 

That's so gross Mistah Jazzybutt.

I have very thick hair, so it goes discusting if I go more than a day or two without washing it. And by wash, as long as I rinse it, I could probably go about 4 days without getting discusted. But my hair also happens to be really frizzy and gets dry, so I have to use conditioner to keep it from tangling into Bozette the brunette clown hair.
