Cons of washing every day?

Yeah I understand. And I think I do have the desire to wash less..maybe just once a week..but I'm not determined like you said ... I think I'll start plain water washes as often as I can. I've actually been able to go 3-4 days without washing but that didn't last very long...mostly it's been every other day but like I said I feel like I have to wash...plain water rinse should be enough to fix that though Thanks!!

The whole point behind washing your hair less often is to give your sebaceous glands the chance to learn to produce less oil.

If you are you washing your hair every day you aren't giving your sebaceous glands the chance to.

If you have to just go through the motions of washing your hair without actually using anything that would remove any oil. (IE: Get your hair wet, use your palm or fingertips to help loosen any dirt, etc.)

The only reason you "Can't seem to get into the habit of washing your hair less often" is the fact that you either don't have the determination, desire, and/or dedication to do so.

If you don't have the desire, the dedication, and the determination to do something, you won't do anything.

Joe: Rinse your hair with plain water after practices.

other than making sure it gets a chance to dry and the fact that wet locks are annoying, not really much,
whatever you find works best for you.

You are welcome. We all start washing our hair less often in different manners. If you start by skipping one day a week. Start at that point. At some point in a few months skip two days a week.Personally speaking I gave myself a year to get to the point where I was washing my hair two or three times a week. Paula said:

Just as a helpful tip (now, keep in mind my hair stays really dry because of the arid SoCal climate) on days that I need to space out washing but really needed to wash anyhow, I just doused my head with apple cider vinegar and rinsed. Made me feel like I was doing something, but not too much. Plus it keeps my dreads nice and soft.

That sounds like a good idea ...ugh but this reminds me..I ran out of acv yesterday...need to buy more!!

look,,,i hate drying my dreads so, i hate washing em daily...however,i've gotta wash my hair almost everyday.im a rugby playa,i've training 2to 5times a week, and gym every other day.not washing after gym is possible for me but after the training in the rugby ground...mud will no doubt gets onto my hair..so i gotta wash em a lot

I wash my hair every day during the week and roll all my windows down and let it dry on the way to work. I drive a long way! Takes me about an 1 & 1/2 hours. It looks very cool and it is dreading fast. It looks kind of wild and everyone loves it ( even at work) I think because it is summer it drys very fast. I let it be itself on the weekends. I am not sure what will happen in the winter because I don't think it would be a really good idea to hang my head out of the window! I think I will probably cut way back then. I'm not sure... but the washing makes it dread faster to me.
