My sister urged me to stop washing that often and try every second, then every third day and so on. Now I only wash every fourth day and my hair only starts to become slightly oily on the fourth day. It also became healthier and less frizzy. I have baby fine hair, I reckon if I had thicker hair, I could get away with not washing for a week. Washing every day is the worst thing you can do for your hair and scalp, full stop. I used to wash my hair every day and I was dispearing at how oily it was after only one day.

One summer I dyed my hair red and every time I washed it, I saw my money washing down the drain. I decided that if I didn't wash my hair, I wouldn't lose my color. So I stopped washing it. On top of it being a hot summer, I was taking dance classes. Needless to say I was a greasy mess, but I put up with it so I could save my hair color. After slowly pushing the time in between washes, I am now able to go a month without washing my hair. I know that sounds gross, but here's the thing. My hair looks less greasy than yours does after 4 days. :-) I don't mean that to come off as being mean, it's just that you wouldn't be able to look at me and tell that it had been a month. The other thing is that my hair is softer than it's ever been (actually.....it's too soft). So yeah, you can "train" your hair to be less greasy. I did and you can too.
