yes its fine i mean ..i have spent weeks in the wilderness, dragging mine in the mud till they were caked to 3 times the normal thickness in mud, then 'washing' by jumping in a muddy river daily to get off the worse only to be covered again only a hundred feet down the trail from the river. then didn't get an actual wash till i got home
and although yea i was muddy for all that time 1 good washing and all was fine
now i was miles from a dirt road,. 25 miles from a paved road and 45 or maybe 60 to anything that resembled a shower.. so i couldn't wash often but even so getting dirty right away again there was no point in washing till i was home ..
your hairs not going to suffer from a lil dust for a day.. yes you want to wash when you frel you should and no less then weekly ..
but you don't need to overthink it like wash just cause the pollen count was up that day or cause you leaned against a tree or a dirty car door..
rule of thumb .. wash as often as you feel you should.. but if you can't remember if you washed in the last week its certainly time to wash
sometimes its when you just feel like you really got to wash your hair, sometimes when "tomorows a better day then today' just cause its more convenient or cause your busy with something ..
nobody should feel like they have to be locked into a schedule but let it be flexible according to how they feel and whats convenient, as long as your keeping to a "no longer then" sensible schedule .. typically that's weekly
sorry that was long and rambling haha
point is ..if you feel like you want to wash today or tomorrow it doesn't matter .. just being around dust doesn't matter..it washes out.. and wont hurt ya if its today, tomorrow or the next day.. but .. after 5-7 days of dust or mud you'll be at the 'god i wish i could wash my dreads today" stage and that's really the limit
it depends on the degree of dustiness too ..if its real heavy and a lot.. scrub it away!
1 day either way isn't going to make much difference .. just i know with winter approaching you don't want to be cold and damp all the time
ok lets put it this way.. if you got dusty today and will be dusty tomorrow .. and the day after that.. wash on Saturday morning.. and if you feel the need any day during the week that feels right
