A Poll: Do You Wash Your Hair Everyday?

Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.
I’m having some trouble focusing today because I am SO excited about the Michigan State – Indiana game tonight. OMG it’s going to be huge. I just had to share my excitement with someone because the kids just don’t care like I do!

Okay, now that we’ve covered that, let’s get to today’s poll. Do you wash your hair everyday? I most certainly do NOT. Listen, I’m not going to lie, some days I just don’t feel like it. It’s SUCH a production. I always get my hair wet in the shower (I’d love to know how people avoid this), but I don’t always wash it. Back in the day I did, but now? Nope. It’s just not necessary for me.

In doing a little research for this poll, I learned that it is not uncommon for people to shower 2-3 times a day. Seriously? That seems a little excessive no?  Do they wash their hair every time? Mine would most certainly fall out.

Based on the last poll where 57% of you answered yes, you do wear make-up daily, I am guessing that 47% of the people who answer this poll wash their hair everyday. As always, I have zero clue what the real results will be, but that is my guess!  So tell me, do you wash your hair everyday?

    I wash my hair every 2 days… I have the keratin treatment done so my hair does not get oily or frizzy (hooray!!) I have to use sulphate free shampoo/conditioner so i dont want all that buildup. My hair is almost at my but so eitehr i air dry it than have to put some sort of product in it or blow dry it which i hate doing.Also who has time for that every day wash and dry??? lol also avoiding how to get your hair wet… SHOWER CAP!! I got mine at walmart for $2 and its nice and spa like.

    I wash mine 3 days a week and no more. We’re not supposed to wash our hair everyday. It is very drying and damaging. I still shower but wear my hair up so it doesn’t get wet.

  3. Melissa

    I wash my hair every two – three days, depending on where I am going/what I am doing. Day 3 is rare, always a ponytail day & I don’t leave the house 🙂 My hair does get slightly wet whenever I take a shower but I put it in a bun & it never gets too wet. When I get out, if it is tangled, I use leave in conditioner.

    It blows my mind how people can get away with not washing their hair every day…I would love to be able to skip a day, but mine gets gross. I have curly hair that I straighten, so by the next morning it is looking raggedy (usually from working out or because I sweat at night…gross) and my bang piece always looks greasy to me.

    Sometimes I can get away with dry shampoo and restraightening on the weekends, but I just can’t do it for work during the week. I wish I could…it would save me a ton of time every morning.

    You aren’t suppose to wash your hair everyday, as this would cause the natural oils in your hair to be stripped away. I wash mine every 2-3 days, I mean I still shower everyday though haha, I just clip my hair up on top of my head, it doesn’t get too wet that way

  6. Megan

    I am the same way I wash mine every 2 to 3 days. if I do it more then my hair gets all crazy and it’s hard to find the time with 2 boys under 3 years old lol

  7. Courtney

    I do wear make up more days than not, so I said yes.
    I do wash my hair everyday only because I look like a hot mess grease ball if I don’t. I wish I could do second or third day hair!

  8. Norma

    I have to wash my hair daily for a few reasons… I was blessed/given/inherited my dads very oily hair (Boo!), its naturally curly & I use hair products daily so it’s not a big ball of frizz & if I don’t wash it it is a HOT MESS. There are a few days I won’t, like if I’m going to the gym or going running (because what’s the point… By the time I’m finished its a HOT mess anyhow) but most days I wash it. I have tried the whole messy bun thing but it just doesn’t look professional, even though I have seen several coworkers make it look cute, it’s just not cute on me! 🙂

    I”m a wash everyday kindof person. I get up and get in the shower and if my hair gets wet it must be washed. I have a head full of hair so I’m good to loose a little bit. 😉

  10. Sara

    Every.single.day – but only once a day. (I’m not totally crazy…) I know I probably shouldn’t do it daily, but I find it gets really greasy on day 2.

  11. Caitlin

    I was my hair every other day – 2 days because my hair is so dry I need all the oils in it as possible lol

  12. Alysia

    I usually skip a day or two between washing my hair. And I use a shower cap to keep my hair from getting wet. Works great!

  13. Shannon

    In all honesty…I don’t even shower every day. O.o But I’ve always been that way. I’m not a gross person, I swear! I shower about every other day and always wash my hair when I do shower. If I don’t wash my hair, it is in a ponytail. It gets flat and a little greasy pretty quick, so easier to keep in it a ponytail. I DO wash my bangs everyday in the sink, otherwise they get too greasy and my forehead breaks out.

    Hmm…too much information? Maybe I should have have commented as Anonymous. 😉

    I actually posted about this in December (http://www.myshowblog.com/2012/11/how-do-you-not-wash-your-hair.html) however I wash my hair 2-3 times a week. The other days I put it up in a bun when I shower so it doesn’t get wet. It does, however, get frizzy from the shower steam (I’m one of those people who showers with the water as hot as it gets, it’s crazy steamy in there when I’m done). I’ve heard the shower cap thing, but I don’t like how they feel. Other then that I don’t know how else you can shower and not get your hair wet. And those people who shower 2-3 times a DAY are nuts. How do you even have time for that?!?

  15. Shelby

    I usually wash my hair every other day. I have an early class and you betcha I’m not getting up any earlier to take a shower & do my hair. So I use a dry shampoo. Also sometimes I just reaaaallly don’t feel like taking a shower that day.

  16. Sophia

    This is going to sound super gross but I avoid washing it by all means (I probably wash it 2 times a week) – dirty hair curls better. Suave dry shampoo is my best friend AND it’s only 3 dollars at target.

  17. Meredith

    I meant to include this in my previous comment, try using a turbie twist, in the shower. I’m not sure if you have ever heard of it, but its a hair towel, it works great after washing your hair or if you wanted to prevent your hair from getting wet

  18. Nicole

    How do people have time to wash their hair everyday?? Shoot sometimes I don’t even have time to shower although I still do. In the summer I shower twice a day, but typically the morning shower is a legit shower and get ready kind and then the evening one is just a rinse off shower to get all the sweat off before going to bed.

  19. Katie

    i was my hair from between every 2-5 days, i know 5 sounds crazy but my hair is naturally curly that i straighten, but by the 4th day if i use my curling iron on it, its just the right amount of dirty and it looks SO good, i get so many complements on it, and i think to myself if these ppl only knew how DIRTY my hair was. Now if i wear it curly i do have to wash it every day. I also shower AT least 2 times a day sometimes 3 i dont know i just like to be super clean lol…..i just toss my hair in a big bun on the top of my head in the shower and it hardly gets wet at all!

    hope MSU can pull out this game!

    Um hellz no. Suave dry shampoo is my best friend. I’ve tried all of the expensive brands and I swear by this. I usually go every 2-3 days but never every day, unless I have a serious obligation. I hate the whole process unless I’m going out or doing something fun.

  21. Jaclyn

    I usually wash my hair every other day, and I’ll use baby powder/dry shampoo the second day if my hair looks a little messy.

  22. Val

    I have to wash everyday because I have fine, oily hair. Plus I workout once, sometimes twice a day, so it gets sweaty and gross. I can sometimes get away with just rinsing it in the shower, but not if we are doing something that evening where I want it to look good. I try to avoid washing it on Sundays, unless something fancy is happening for some reason. Actually, I usually avoid showering at all on Sundays – we call it ‘no shower Sundays’.

  23. Jennifer

    I have to wash it once a day but sometimes I take two showers a day to wash off my gym sweat. I try to avoid getting my hair wet the second time around because it’s likely greasy and will make me feel gross.

    To those that use dry shampoos, what brands do you like? I can’t seem to settle on one to try.
