How often do u wash ur hair

Just curious. As a guy. Oh yeah, state ur gender pls.

I try to wash my hair everyday even if I don't go out on one day. It gets oily pretty fast, like, within 40 hrs.

And I mean to say 40 hrs instead of 2 days because it does indeed get oily earlier than 2 days. Heck, maybe even just after about 30 something hrs or so. Like if I wash my hair at 8am, it's gonna get oily the next day when it's almost midnight.

Does ur hair get oily? If yes, then how quick does it get oily?

@crispychream: Nah I can smell my own BO when it's there (not regularly I bathe in deodorant). I know when I have bad breath too, it tastes like absolute sht in my mouth.
Guessing smelly hair is the same, I'm aware when I have smelly hair as I'm sort of overly aware of my hair and the way it sits, smells, etc.

Male, and I wash my hair every day, sometimes condition it. But it goes to down to my shoulders (actually a little past now) in the back, and below my eyebrows but above my eyes in the front. And it's thick. So that's why I wash it that much.

Although every few months I forget to wash my hair in the shower, but it usually looks fine, it just feels a bit more oily.

@crispychream: I didn't say in the morning, as long as it's once a day

@Updated: Totally agree. Every day or even every second day is totally wrong.
The more often you wash it, the more quickly it'll go oily. Your hair begins to overproduce oil because it's trying to overcompensate for constantly stripping the oil every day/other day.
I wash my hair once a week and I'm male. I have longer hair, about a years growth so it's kinda longish.
I used to wash my hair every 3 or so days but that still left me with extremely oily hair. My hair doesn't look dirty or gross after a week of not washing either, once you adapt to washing once a week, your hair will look cleaner for longer.

Dang, everyone washes their hair so often o.o. My hair doesn't get oily too fast so I shampoo&condition every 2 days. But if I happen to take a shower anytime, I just wet my hair w/o shampoo.

Everyday, but I shampoo + condition once a week. To begin with, shampooing is really harsh on the hair, but condition once or twice a week is okay.

my hair is curly and long, so I tend to be really lazy... sometimes I'll go a week without washing my hair, so I'm wearing buns all the time haha. but I still wash my body every day.
I haven't shampooed my hair for about 2 years now - I cowash, which is cleansing the hair with conditioner. I use one for cowashing or "shampooing" and another one as a leave-in and to brush out my tangles.
cowashing and letting my hair flow naturally has affected my hair positively.

i condition every day but i only shampoo around once every two weeks. my hair dries out really easily and showering twice daily stops it from smelling.

Male; every 2 days.
The day i wash my hair I leave it as it is.
The next day i usually keep it slicked back using my hairs natural oils. Really gross but since its pushed back it looks more like I used some product in my hair.
Its actually the morning I wake up after doing my slickback I wash it cause its very oily and gross. So I guess 3ish days.

I take a shower everyday, so yea I use shampoo along side while doing so. Sometimes I also take another shower at nights, but rarely. Also I'm a man, but you'd probably know that from the way I talk a lot! Although people confuse me for my sister since she's usually the one who actually plays some of my characters.

twice a day, once in the morning while taking a shower to look fresh going to school, and once at night I take a shower before I go to bed so I don't smell bad after running or lifting

every morning before i go to school. i'm starting to think it would be better to just take a shower every day after practice though so i wouldn't have to wash off 2 times a day.
