How are we washing hair…. I’m so dead ass. I wash every day and then it’s extremely dirty. I wash every other day or so, immediately hair up. Dry shampoo doesn’t do much to help. I use the bonnet. I do protective braiding. No wet hair. No bulb brushes.

my hair used to be just like yours i was washing literally everyday and it was just so gross after a day but then during summer of covid i was like okay let’s try and train my hair so i washed it 2-3 times a week and now that’s just what i do and it can look brand new and healthy for up to 3 days after washing and try to switch out your shampoos bi-weekly and make sure to use a cleansing shampoo occasionally too

Have u tried to wash ur hair less often? Also do u mean oily instead of dirty? Sometimes overwashing can lead to excessive oiliness, but it takes some time for ur hair to adjust to less frequent washes

i wash my hair twice a week and rotate shampoos every 3 months if i’m using drugstore products. it helps but i recommend a salon grade shampoo depending on your hair treatment/type.

I was on the less wash life style for a whole bc college was hard. And yea oily then, after like 2-3 days then that’s dirty bc yk earth. Now I have tons more time and energy to take more in depth care of myself besides trying to make it through that last year. So I try to wash every day / every other day and it’s still just as bad. Also considering I want to go to the gym or swim, or maybe go out. It makes washing really hard

My hair is type 1A, maybe if I had it under control and got some volume or thickness back up w some regrowth, MAYBE I can hold a curl for an Evening. Maybe just maybe I should try curly products just to FAFO
