Instead I just rinsed it with warm water, then a bit of cold water. All I have to say is I'm glad I can't see myself! YUCK! It's greasy and gross looking. I'm jealous of you women who can do this, but my stringy blond hair needs washing every day.

And that some people are determining that anyone who skips a day of washing their hair is &quot;disgusting!&quot;<BR/><BR/>Bottom line is that everyone&#39;s hair &amp; body is different and unless you have an intimate relationship with this person, you have no idea if they look/smell great without washing their hair or themselves every single day, or if they are stinky and greasy DESPITE washing their hair and showering every single day!<BR/><BR/>We all know people of the extreme who have no sense of personal hygene--I&#39;m seriously doubting anyone posting here is one of them. So friends, carry on with whatever works for you! I for one would like to try that Bumble &amp; Bumble powder...

I experimented this morning. <BR/><BR/>Yesterday was my no shower and no shampoo day, so today I just rinsed my hair and blow-dried/style it. It felt gross. The hairspray from the day before now feels like I have rubber cement in my hair. It doesn't LOOK bad, it just feels bad. <BR/><BR/>I think that rinsing thing might be good if you don't use product in your hair, but for those of us who do, not so good. <BR/><BR/>My final diagnosis (for me and my fine hair texture): 1st day, wash and blowdry/style; 2nd day, dampen and blowdry/style, third day repeat 1st day and so on...<BR/><BR/>Oh, and I brush my teeth twice a day on weekdays and three times a day on weekends. Flossing about once a week, just because I'm lazy. shh, don't tell my dentist.foobellahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08948452746378319484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356738648955059801.post-16980278865795316172008-12-23T10:08:00.000-06:002008-12-23T10:08:00.000-06:00I have very thick, healthy hair that I have thinned every time I cut it. I wash it every other day...sometimes I can go 3, if I pull it back the third day.<BR/><BR/>I usually pull it up and shower on the days I don't need to wash it, but I'm a terrible snoozer and sometimes "postpone" the shower to evening to get to work on time. (I'm just sitting at a desk by myself anyway!) then shower that evening.<BR/><BR/>I'm intrigued by the idea of rinsing without shampooing. I've always thought if it gets wet it's just as much work to dry it, but I never thought about it looking better if I didn't strip all of the product out of it. I might have to try that.<BR/><BR/>Brush teeth at least twice a day.Kaseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12835701399105294561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356738648955059801.post-42413309593681836172008-12-23T01:47:00.000-06:002008-12-23T01:47:00.000-06:00I shower daily<BR/><BR/>i brush my teeth a million times a day, it's ingrained - my Dad is an orthodontist ;)<BR/><BR/>But Hair washing?

Still I find it gross. She once told Rachael Ray that she can wear her comfy jeans up to a week without washing them.

I just realized that you actually <I>asked</I> about showering and brushing teeth.<BR/><BR/>Everyone in my family showers daily (my kids and my husband wash their hair daily) and brushes their teeth at least twice a day (my daughter usually brushes her teeth 3 to 4 times a day). We take our showers in the evening - until college I used to shower in the mornings and in the evenings, but if I only have time to do it once, it's going to be at the end of the day.Deecehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09713963056658425886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356738648955059801.post-36513137951976094312008-12-22T16:56:00.000-06:002008-12-22T16:56:00.000-06:00I've heard that the way to stop the oiliness is to finish your shower with a cold rinse. Hot water opens pores/hair follicles, cold water closes them resulting in less oil in your hair. Don't know if it is just an old wives tale or not. For the record, I wash every 2-3 days, and my hair always looks better on day 2. I don't use product though so can get away with it not getting greasy and weighed down with product.rochelle bellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09638777458227064942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356738648955059801.post-44175285173572515582008-12-22T16:52:00.000-06:002008-12-22T16:52:00.000-06:00I used to shampoo my hair every day. Until the hairstylist for my sister's wedding got so frustrated with me because I washed my hair the night before the wedding even though he asked me not to. So since then (high school) I try to only shampoo my hair every other day. And it's great! If I wash my hair every day, it gets very dry - despite living on a tropical island that is crazy humid. However, because I live on a hot, sweaty, salty tropical island, every few weeks there is bound to be a back-to-back shampooing. <BR/><BR/>Like a few others have commented, I can't really imagine just rinsing my hair. If it gets wet, it gets washed. <BR/><BR/>Also, since others have mentioned it - I shower every evening. I just can't imagine it any other way. I was totally amazed and grossed out to read your HTT on daily showering and find out that there are so many people out there who don't take daily showers.Deecehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09713963056658425886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356738648955059801.post-13804202363673557312008-12-22T16:48:00.000-06:002008-12-22T16:48:00.000-06:00I brush my teeth every day. <BR/><BR/>I don't wash my hair every day. I usually go four or sometimes five (in the dry winter) days before washing my hair. I don't even get it wet when I shower. And it totally works for my curly, dryish, thick hair. <BR/><BR/>I have heard several times over the last few years that washing one's hair with shampoo is not necessary unless it is actually DIRTY (like with sand or mud or something sticky in it.) Just rinsing it with water is supposed to be enough. There is however, a "learning curve" for your hair. It will be greasy the first few times you just rinse it with water. But eventually your hair will adapt and the natural oils from your scalp will keep it nice. I've never gotten to that point, but that's what I've heard!Barb @ getupandplayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17983045210766395899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356738648955059801.post-52385408149333832102008-12-22T16:32:00.000-06:002008-12-22T16:32:00.000-06:00My hair stylist told me to wash every OTHER day, that any more strips it of natural oils. But I have sweepy bangs which get greasy so I wash my bangs every day... or wear it back. Honestly I wash maybe 2-3 times a week... thank goodness for Bumble &amp; Bumble hair powder.<BR/><BR/>I have friends with really dry hair though, and so they wash it once a week. They&#39;re just blessed with amazing hair body.<BR/><BR/>Am I gross to admit I don&#39;t shower every day? I do on work days, or I just exercised days, but not every day. And for the record, I only shave my legs 1-2x a week. I just don&#39;t have the time.<BR/><BR/>I&#39;m disgusting, I know.Cichellihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04257019451286974337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356738648955059801.post-91453971911306296192008-12-22T15:30:00.000-06:002008-12-22T15:30:00.000-06:00Every hair stylist I have had (and I have had PLENTY) has told me to only wash my hair (meaning shampoo and conditioner) about every 5 days. And in between I am supposed to just rinse my hair every other day with HOT then cold water.<BR/><BR/>I have never done this. Seems insane. For one I am not getting naked and getting the shower to get out with still dirty (but RINSED) hair. Too much effort. So I wash my hair (shampoo and conditioner) every other day (sometimes I go 3 days!!! ewwwww. gross huh?)...<BR/><BR/>And I am constantly being told I have great and healthy hair. By strangers even! So it works for me....and that is all I can say.<BR/><BR/>(note; baby powder in the roots inbetween washings acts like 'dry shampoo' and really helps it be less greasy. Of course people will ask why your hair smells like a babys butt all day.)<BR/><BR/>Yeah- that is GLAMOROUS! :)The Glamorous Lifehttp://marcywrites.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356738648955059801.post-84105917381661347912008-12-22T15:23:00.000-06:002008-12-22T15:23:00.000-06:00Well, I am a cosmetologist and usually I suggest that you wash every other day. That rule, of course, has some exceptions. For example, if your hair is super oily then you would shampoo every day, but only condition every other day. But every head of hair is different and you have to play it by ear, or hair in this case.Camrae27http://www.blogger.com/profile/02003245583739325480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356738648955059801.post-4647522810855527372008-12-22T15:03:00.000-06:002008-12-22T15:03:00.000-06:00Oh, yes, I believe in the power of residual hair product. <BR/><BR/>(For the process: rinse upside down under faucet, take a towel and push the hair up to scrunch hair--be gentle. Spray with spray gel. LEAVE ALONE until almost dry.

I have very curly hair that can't be slept on otherwise it needs to be rinsed out the next day and styled again. when I do it straight I usually wash it the night before and then go two days with it straight before washing again.<BR/><BR/><BR/>And then...<BR/><BR/>last week I tried just rinsing for days instead of washing it with shampoo. THE SHINE, THE BODY, THE PERFECT CURLS. I tipped my head under the bath faucet and wet/rinsed my hair with just water. I let it dry curly with just a little scrunching. AMAZING HAIR. I may never go back to shampooing it every other day ever again.Azúcarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13859567470814286102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356738648955059801.post-58896035131565653002008-12-22T14:22:00.000-06:002008-12-22T14:22:00.000-06:00I care Brooke! =)foobellahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08948452746378319484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356738648955059801.post-69100760613011342622008-12-22T14:19:00.000-06:002008-12-22T14:19:00.000-06:00You are too funny!

I have stick-straight blonde hair, and I wash it every day. If I don't, it looks greasy and nasty. The only way I can get around a morning wash is if I washed it the night before after going to the gym. Even then, by the evening it looks yucky again.<BR/><BR/>Going more than 2 days sounds pretty gross to me, but I guess if that made my hair look awesome I'd do it too!Tiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01470163614190777624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356738648955059801.post-71701588269784546502008-12-22T13:34:00.000-06:002008-12-22T13:34:00.000-06:00Amber, I'd be willing to bet you see people all the time who don't wash their hair everyday and you are none the wiser. You've probably even complemented someone on their nice hairdo without even knowing it's 2-day-old. <BR/><BR/>Now, I have a followup question for some folks that can go longer than 2 days without washing hair. Do you use product in your hair? I love the idea of just rinsing it off in the shower, but as someone else said, once I get it wet, I might as well go the distance and shampoo. I feel that, because I use hairspray {thin flat, frizzy hair without it} if I were to just rinse it off, it wouldn't do as well with the spray build up. Please discuss. <BR/><BR/>=)foobellahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08948452746378319484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356738648955059801.post-74235064889441121972008-12-22T12:58:00.001-06:002008-12-22T12:58:00.001-06:00I.am.sorry. if you are one of those people that washes your hair every few days, but I think that is dis.gus.ting!! I have a couple friends and a cousin that do that and sorry, but it's obvious. I just think it's gross to have oily, greasy hair. It's very Britney. And unclean. <BR/><BR/>Sorry!

I have thin, wavy hair, and it gets limp and greasy if I don't wash it. I don't ever blow dry it - OK maybe once a year. <BR/>However, after reading comments, I think I might try not washing every once in a while. I hadn't thought about "working up to it". I will still shower everyday though.Emmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18155598047538457806noreply@blogger.com
