    Do you never use shampoo? I personally only even wet my hair once or twice a week, then wash with shampoo though.

      I use shampoo maybe once per month, usually only when necessary to remove products such as bleach/dye. Just rinsing it with water is usually enough, but when my hair starts feeling more greasy (maybe once per week), I just use conditioner to help loosen up the dirt. If you’re curious, look up “cowashing” and “no poo” for more information.

        I’ve tried cowashing before! I have a lot of hair, but thin individual strands, and it kinda made it too hydrated (idk how else to explain) so I lost my waves.

        Funny, I use shampoo over my whole body because the equivalent soap doesn’t have the menthol in it that I use to wake me the heck up every morning. That tingly feeling of freshness I get is phenomenal.

      No, pretty much never unless I’ve really sweat a bunch after a lot of physical activity. I also did say that I rinse every day and I would definitely feel a little gross if I didn’t, but that’s just water.
