How Often Do You Shampoo?
Shampooing is often Taboo in the natural hair community.
Some women follow the Curly Girl Method or the No Poo method and don't shampoo at all.
Some women (like myself) continue to shampoo, but understanding the theories of the other methods, we've decided to shampoo less frequently. About 1-2x a month.
Some women shampoo often and don't care for theories or methods.
How often do you shampoo, if at all, and why?

Shampooing works for me! I shampoo every other week and follow with a deep condition. I know it works for somme to not shampoo but it doesn't work for me! My scalp would hate me if I didn't

My hair throws a TRANTRUM everytime I shampoo. I shampoo once every 6-8 weeks.
Re: How Often Do You Shampoo?
I shampoo my hair @ least even 7-10 days. If not my head starts to get itches.

OMG! I feel abnormal now. LOL! When I had a relaxer, I shampooed 2 to 3 times a week. I CANNOT STAND DIRTY OILY HAIR! LOL! But with my natural hair it is like every 5 to 7 days. I am a shampoo addict.

I stopped shampooing for a while but I feel like I will start again cause I just don't feel like Co-washing can get the dirt away like I want to so will look for natural based and healthy shampoo and then shampoo every Sunday

OMG! Ok, so the hairstylist in me is thinking VERY GROSS! LOL! But I am not passing judgment. I shampooed a lady's hair one time who hadn't washed it in 3 weeks AND she smoked cigarettes. Needless to say her hair smelled like 12 dead billygoats that were extremely decomposed. ROFL

Re: How Often Do You Shampoo?
Hahaha, the thing about it was that my hair didnt smell ( to me at least )
and because my hair is so thick (even while relaxed) all the oil from the lack of washing helped to weigh it down. LOL

Re: How Often Do You Shampoo?
Once a week at most. Sometimes it's once a month but that depends on what products I use and the ingredients in them.
Re: How Often Do You Shampoo?
I shampoo whenever I wash my hair, which is almost every week. I have psoriasis/eczema on my scalp, so it is absolutely necessary for me to have clean and clear scalp. If not, serious itching, build up and crusting (I know... nasty) on my scalp. I use Dr Bronners Castile Peppermint Soap and it leaves my hair SO soft afterwards... and of course squeaky clean

Re: How Often Do You Shampoo?
I try not to shampoo often, but if I use alot of product in my hair, I feel like I need a good shampooing because my hair feels gritty and my scalp itches something terrible. I would have to say that I shampoo about 2x's a month. I mainly co-wash but now that it has gotten cold I don't do that often either.

Re: How Often Do You Shampoo?
I shampoo every Wednesday, mostly because I don't like greasy hair from products.
Re: How Often Do You Shampoo?
I guess I shampoo whenever my hair feels it needs it. I get a slightly itchy scalp and my hair gets very dry. Usually about every 6-8 weeks.
Re: How Often Do You Shampoo?
I may wash my hair only 1-2 times per month. My hair doesn't seem to care for it being a natural. When I do, I use my castile soap concoction, or my homemade black soap shampoo. When I'm not using those, I just co-wash at least once per week, and use treatments in between (bentonite clay or ayurvedic herbs) along with deep conditioning. I may retry the Cream of Nature shampoo I LOVED LOVED LOVED when relaxed.
Re: How Often Do You Shampoo?
I co-wash 1-2 x's a week, I shampoo probably once a month with kinky curly shampoo. Its a low poo, no sulfates, nice citrus smell. If I have build up I may do more but that isn't that often.

It depends on how my hair is acting. Usually once a week.

Re: How Often Do You Shampoo?
I poo about 2xs a month but clarifying shampoos tear my hair up they are way too strong. I actually hate shampooing my hair and I am still looking for my staple poo...I haven't found any shampoo that I love or my hair loves...so suggestions are greatly appreciated.
My hair is dry so I try to maintain moisture and oil.....I love being greasy as well because my hair loves it and I try not to strip all the oils away.

I shampoo 2-3 times a week. Shampooing keeps my hair clean. I have oily hair, so to increase the volume i need to shampoo and make it dry! The dryness adds to the frizz and defines my curls well!

I Shampoo 2-3 times a week. Shampooing helps take out the excess oil from my hair and gives it the required volume. I love my curls and to define them shampooing is really necessary for me!
