Can you still look good the next day without showering/washing your hair?

[Anonymous]

Because I get lazy but I look anywhere from "meh" to "complete trash/hobo looking" if I don't wash my hair everyday because it's thin/fine and I have low density, so it looks like a thin frizzy mess and depending on what products I used I look like someone put butter in my hair.

And I feel like I should change up my hairstyle from long to short if I look that bad the next day...

So can you still look good or attractive if you don't shower that day?

No, I look like trash if I don't shower everyday

I can go a day or two without

I could make it 3-5 days without washing my hair and still looking great

I barely look decent on the days that I do shower, I don't even want to imagine how bad I look on the days that I don't

I look great no matter what... favorable genetics I guess

It depends on how oily your scalp is and how much product you're using. For someone with longer hair if suggest dry shampoo but I don't know if that would work for short hair.

I go about 5-7 days without washing my hair. I use shampoo and conditioner when I wash and follow with an anti frizz serum. Around day 4 or 5 I use Batiste dry shampoo and high buns XD

My hair is to my chin and shoulders but it looks pretty bad the next day, I can't go more than 48 hours without washing at this length (even then it's kind of pushing it). When I had it short I could go about 5 days without washing so it's got me considering a change along with some other things.

I've been messing around with products - quality shampoo/condition, pomades/sprays and dry shampoo... I think my hair has thinned out too much for this length and it's time to throw in the towel because I'm putting in too much effort and it always looks mediocre at best.

Usually you have to train your hair to go longer without washing. But, honestly if you feel like you're putting too much time and energy into it, cut it again. At least you can say you tried it longer!

[Asker]

I like that way of thinking "At least you can say you tried it longer!".

I've always had fine hair even when I was teenager when I had it long to my shoulders but it's not the same anymore - it's thinner, it breaks easier, the hair strains are finer and it has an overall duller/less appealing look as it once did.

You should talk with your barber or hairdresser. It def sounds like your hair isn't happy.

Another question I just did but focusing on a different issue with my hair - www.girlsaskguys.com/.../q1837243-girls-guys-having-long-hair-when-you-have-a-norwood-2-3-hairline

[BellePepper]

Next time don't advertise your question this way. It's against the rules and rude okay?

[Asker]

Wait what? I wasn't aware of that... yeah I could have asked 1st but usually the answer is always "yes" so figured why waste time, also it's so similar to this but just focusing on a different issue/aspect of hair?

[Asker]

... sorry

[BellePepper]

Just remember for next time https://www.girlsaskguys.com/faq/posts

I never wash my hair everyday, as I am black, and it's not necessary. My hair usually looks good, in my opinion. If I do daily washing, it would be using a cleansing conditioner. shampooing daily would be far too drying and make my hair look horrific, and I'm not into having wet hair all over the place. Takes hours to dry, long hair, just no.

I also can easily look good the next day without showering and smell great. I usually shower at night anyway, but sometimes I am really tired or something. It happens.

I actually don't wash my face in the morning, if I've washed it at night. Helps keep my skin clear. I just rinse my face and moisturize in the morning as well. Better for the skin.

Yea I can go a day without showering, I just put on some deodorant, change clothes and spray on some perfume, it's called a Puerto Rican Shower

[Asker]

Puerto Rican Shower haha I like that, but my ancestry is Portuguese and German so I can't use that phrase...

[nileve]

noooooooooooooooooooooooooo
my hair gets oily through out the night i need to wash it daily

[Asker]

So I'm not alone on this one, I'll go a day without showering but I don't look that great and by the end of the day I look really rough especially my hair... it just get too greasy.

[Anonymous]

I shower every other day, everyday is to much for my hair and skin ( dry's it out )

[Asker]

I feel like I need to switch my routine to every 36 hours...

[Opinion Owner]

Try to go longer and longer without showering. It feel's gross i know, but it's really bad for your skin to be washed so much.

[Asker]

What about bathing? I do that on the days I don't shower...

Also, another aspect of my hair problems - www.girlsaskguys.com/.../q1837243-girls-guys-having-long-hair-when-you-have-a-norwood-2-3-hairline

I can make it to three days if I do the dry shampoo thing.
