GilraenH Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Used to love Aussie shampoos but not available here. So now it is whatever is on offer.... Has to be quite good stuff as I have a tint and so it gets dry. Me too, I'm gutted to hear you can't get them there. I washed my very long, very thick hair (It took an hour to blow dry) once a week until a month a go when I got it all chopped off. I had trained it to that stage to get it in better condition on advice and it was. Now I wash it every couple of days, if it was really short it would be every day. Can it be got on mail order?

At great expense and wait from Ebay so I haven't bothered! Still have a tiny bit of 3 minute miracle left....been using it like a sacred ingredient :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freckleface Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I use Koza shampoo and protein treatment. I think they are only available at the hairdresser (could be wrong). They are lovely :cute: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fairystar32 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 (edited) No more than 3 x a week, usually twice. Washing too often removes the natural oils from the hair and isnt good for it Edited June 23, 2012 by fairystar32 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val Tibenham Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 2-3 times a week for me - any more than that and it would be unmanageable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somgirl Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Seriously, me and Paul are having a bicker about how often we wash our hair, he washes his every day and thinks i'm weird cos i wash mine every other day, I say it's not healthy to wash it every day, lol, loads of other people I know don't wash their hair every day either Ladies and gents please help us out, what do you do? Haha, weird thread I know but i'll go to great lengths to prove i'm not a weirdo....honest I'm with you on this one Britchickx, I wash mine every other day, I have short hair, and could probably do it less, but, then it looks like bed hair and goes flat on one side! Used to have a tendancy to be greasy when I was younger, but not any more!:biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghost Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I think it's different for men and women. I was mine every day or at least every time I have a shower which is sometimes twice, or even three times a day. Women tend to do it 3 to 4 times a week. Bearing in mind for them it's takes a lot of effort to "do" it after. Takes me 30 seconds and I'm good to go ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest17301 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Everyday, I have to as it looks horrific when Ive slept on it...envy those who only have to put a brush through it...wash and blow dry each morning, only takes 10 mins....when I had shoulder length hair I did it every 2 days...pain to dry and straighten beause my hair is very thick.

paisleylass Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Hubby's hair is probably less than 5mm long and I swear it dries instantly, I don't recall it ever being 'wet' :oD the concept of a hairdryer must be alien to him. Without the hairdryer/straightener combo my hair would be a crazy, frizzy mess of kinkiness (not THAT kind lol) - which is how it often looked after a journey to work on a Brissie summer day, drying and straightening gone to waste!!

Guest AKA63029 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 According to my youngest who is a trainee hair dresser once every three days is the go, otherwise you start to damage it. All OK I reckon, but now look like a grease monkey of the set of 'Grease Monkeys Are Us'. And she wonders why I look like a knob in my bandanas.:laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AKA63029 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I also use John Frieda shampoo and conditioner. Makes all the curly bits springy and nice. Now where's that Woman Only thread.:eek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritChickx Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 I have short hair.....so easy to wash, but still, every other day is fine! Paul said I could fry chips on my hair :'( lol. It's not greasy tho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Longtime Lurker Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Daily, one rinse, shampoo only as I have very fine hair and conditioner makes it go limp! Dries in 15 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delaneym Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 whatever I can get away with- thats what hair bands, straighteners and bandannas are for.... oh and the general banter of I didnt realise i would bump into anyone i know I have just been swimming/gym/decorating/.....

fourcorners Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 After exercising which is about 4 times a week, or if it's been really hot at work. My hair is very thick and curly so I rarely even brush it, just a comb through with the conditioner and then leave to dry naturally (get too hot under a hairdryer!). I try and avoid washing it too late at night as don't like going to bed with wet hair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skani Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Daily, one rinse, shampoo only as I have very fine hair and conditioner makes it go limp! Dries in 15 minutes. But how do you detangle it? I have very fine hair too (angel hair :wink:) but I find I need conditioner to detangle, but it does weight it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skani Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Every second day, or after swimming. Just one wash and condition. I like L'Oreal Elvive but they test on animals, and I'm trying to find another brand I like which doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
