Question for people who dont wash their hair everyday

I've never liked washing my hair and if I could send it out to the dry cleaners, I'd be the happiest girl going.

Doesn't anyone use a dry shampoo between shampoos? It's an aerosol spray powder that you spray at the roots and then brush through your hair. It's been around forever in white, but I learned recently that it's also made in blonde, light and dark brown and black. I've been using it to cover the grey and am really thrilled with the results.

I exercise often and have very long, thick, layered hair -- naturally very wavy. If I take a dip in the ocean, my hair will look like I just got a perm. I probably wash my hair only once a week (if I blow dry) and maybe twice a week if I'm letting it air dry for natural waves/curls.

Dry shampoo is my best friend. I like cheapie Suave dry shampoo the best. I wear my hair back in a low, not-too-tight ponytail and use bobby pins or an elastic hair band to secure any strays around my face.

I will sometimes wear my hair up two days prior to wash day. My fave styles now are mermaid braid and a ponytail with volume at the crown --it looks kind of retro but still professional somehow.

I wash on days I work out. If I work out every day, then I have to wash every day. I sweat if you just look at me funny and I'm a mess if I do cardio.

Are you ME, chynnablue? This is my hair situation (and sweating situation) to a T! And yes, when I even go to the outside trail to take a more leisurely walk with a friend, I sweat.

It's terrible, isn't it!? Once they had me on a medication that had sweating as a side-effect. I was on it for two weeks and then told my doctor we needed to find another solution because it was the worst! My office complex is HUGE and I often need to walk quite a distance to get from one conference room to another. While I was on that medication, I would show up for every meeting red faced and sweaty, like I'd just come from the gym. No thanks! I don't need any extra help with that.

I also use the tinted dry shampoo to cover gray - the added bonus is that it adds a bit of volume.

I am one of those that has to shampoo daily Ughh
