I sound disgusting but once a fortnight for me. When I was depressed and barely washed my hair at all, it grew like a beast and it went thick and in beautiful condition. I used to wash it every day or two before and it would stay at my shoulders and in terrible condition. I took note of this and try not to wash it often.

I would love to do this! How do you manage between washes?
I try to avoid any unessersary styling products (concentrating on hair care instead), glam styles or wearing it down. If I do that's when I tend to wash my hair. On normal days (which most are to me since I'm a stay at home mum to a young toddler) I tend to just wear it in a top-knot bun and brush it through before I go to bed. Luckily my hair or scalp doesn't tend to get greasy. I don't bother with dry shampoo either, I found it was quite damaging to my hair, made it "dirtier", caused build up, breakage and a dry scalp. Even if you try it for 6 months, it's good for growing your hair at a quicker rate.
I do nothing to my hair besides wash it, put it in a low pony or a low bun so that’s fine in terms of styling. Brushing it would be the biggest issues cause my hair is naturally curl so when I brush it it just frizzes like a bath bomb
I’ll give it a go though!Twice a week and dry shampoo inbetween.

I'm neither straight, nor curly, mine seems to be quite coarse and frizzes up when brushed. But it becomes quite knotty if I don't. Do what works for you, even teasing it out with your fingers instead.About twice a week, I just shampoo it twice each time though, really makes it feel fresher between washes
Once or twice a week. Its a long process. Couldnt possibly do it every day 
I wash my once a week. I used to wash it every other day and then I had a bad bout of depression which meant washing in general was a massive effort so my hair got neglected.
In all honesty though my hair is so much better for it! And I am now back to daily washing of my body just to add!

Thin, long, straight hair, greasy, can’t be bothered to wash it more than three times a week so I just walk round looking like drowned rat sometimes or I double french braid it on day three and look like a prisoner.
Argan oil no knots ever mine is waist lengthMine does too
About 5 days out of 7.
Usually every 2 - 3 days, I have a very oily scalp 
Every 3 days (more frequently in summer/if I’ve been to the gym). I have really long, thick hair which is naturally wavy and takes ages to dry. I tend to let it air dry at least once a week (it does frizz a bit but I’m trying to avoid using too much heat on it) and I use paraben and silicone free products. I double shampoo then condition, and use hair masks every couple of weeks.
I wash it 5-6 times a week… I wish I didn’t need to, but I’m a very sweaty exerciser and I work out 5-6 days a week, so it has to be done otherwise it’s just disgusting.
I would love to wash it less often but I just feel dirty with sweaty exercise hair

I'll try thankyou
I recently cut my waist length hair to bra strap length because of how easy my hair knots.
About 3 times a week, sometimes less. I go through phases of washing it less and putting no heat on it (in the week) to try and protect it. I wear scrubs to work so I shove it up in a messy bun, but sometimes I catch myself in the mirror and think “Jesus Christ you look disgusting” and start washing, blow drying and straightening it 
it takes so long.
I’m jealous of people who manage to do it every morning before work haha. I think your life must be so put together and organised and I bet you have lovely nails.

...long, grey hair with blonde at ends...wash once a week...double shampoo and leave conditioner on 5-10 mins...good for itchy (and menopausal) scalp...use a little product before drying and straightening...lasts for a few days down then up the rest of the time...

About every 5 days. I have fine hair, but tonnes of it. It’s a faff to wash and dry. And I think it looks at its best 2-3 days after washing when it gets some natural oils in it, it’s too coarse and fluffy when freshly dried.
