Shampoo twice a week but condition daily

Do you shampoo everyday?

Not every day but if I swim alot I do. Or like volleyball at the beach. I shampoo and deep condition quite a bit

When I go swimming and its usually in the ocean since I live on the coast, I'm getting my hair wet. I would feel silly and not enjoy myself if I had to concern myself with that. Not been an issue yet...

Perhaps you have hair that's just extremely oily. A lot of guys I know shower everyday, but none of the girls I know. But then, we do have guy hair... Texture wise at least.

It has nothing to do with the texture, just sebum production. Testosterone causes more sebum to be produced by the follicle, that's why men have more oily hair and usually shampoo everyday. Sebum however is good for your hair (and skin). It offers protection from UV rays and has immunity properties against infection. It also smoothes the cuticle layer of the hair, giving it a more glassy feel and acts as a natural moisturizer. This all keeps frizz to a minimum, and yes, makes it easier to brush the tangles out. Shampooing every day can  (but wont always) rob your hair of sebum.

I personally shampoo once a week and have some of the healthiest, shiniest hair you will see. Women tell me all the time they'd kill for my hair. Even hairdressers tell me that. Put it like this ... when I shampoo my hair, I let it air dry and it comes out like in the pic. No hairdryer, no flat iron, nothing...

When you swim or sweat a lot, then yes it's a good idea to shampoo. That takes dirt and other particles in the hair that would build up and make it stinky

What do you do on the days you don't shower. My hair just does whatever it wants and what it wants to do is be all wavy and style itself back into a boyish haricut. I have a pixie cut like demi moore in ghost and when I first brush it and style it it looks great and totally femme and I love it but then it just diverts back to this boyish look when it gets wavy and I prolly play with it too much but it starts forcing itself to the right and just looks boyish and I hate it. And if I don't shower it just looks boyish no matter what.

I guess that is two problems lol

[Alainaluvsu]

I just brush it.

How long is it?

[Joanna Dark]

It's prolly four or five inches. It naturally lays right on my brow bone. I trimmed the split ends the other day and fixied it up and so it looks almost exactly like Demi Moore's hair in Ghost. But it's wavy where I want it to be straight. Maybe I should buy a hair straightener. It'll be awhile before I can get the hairstyle I want, which is an inverted bob.

Everybody has a different wave pattern and growth pattern. It's hard to make someones' hair look like some body else without styling it because of that. But what I was speaking of earlier is if you're wanting to go all natural and not do anything with it, hair health is directly related to how much sebum is in your hair, along with how you take care of it, and your diet.

If your hair is curly and you want it to be straight, you'll need to use tools. However, if it's healthy, it'll USUALLY look good all natural as long as it's cut to look good all natural.

But before I could give you advice I'd have to see it in person.
