I looked this topic up because I’ve been thinking lately: if curly hair is the driest hair type, why are we told to avoid watering it everyday? We’re encouraged to moisturize with oil, but dry hair needs hydration. That only comes from water. If our bodies are dehydrated, do we drink a bottle of oil or a bottle of water? Just random thoughts I’ve been having about this. So thanks for talking about it.

that’s not how it works. when we say moisture we don’t mean actual moisture. we mean conditioning. the reason curly hair is considered drier is because it tends to be high porosity and have less sebum on it both of these properties let moisture ESCAPE, and that’s why it’s “dry”. if your hair is dry don’t put more water on it, instead focus on sealing the cuticles and sealing in the moisture that’s already there. scalp however does need frequent washing, a clean scalp = healthy scalp = healthy hair

​@lambsauce8937 you're partially correct. I'd would advise those with curly/kinky hair to wash more AND seal their cuticles to keep that moisture. The scalp needs to be cleaned regularly with water and the hair needs the moisture from water. If the hair is highly porous then the moisture can only return on wash days so adding more wash days increases the moisture in the hair

The results leaves my hair healthy, and bouncy. I wash my hair 3 times a week, once a week deep condition, and once a month clarifying, i also cut my dead ends off which helps with the growth, and the bounce. My opinion is.... washing your hair often is very good for hair growth.

I wash my hair everyday and it’s long!

I cut my hair a few months back, and I find recently that now that I am shampooing daily it started going faster. I make sure to follow up with a conditioner, but for the most part a tea tree shampoo that I thought would cause me issues is not. A few times out of the month I use Mane and Tail as my protein conditioner.

To be honest your scalp looks clean and soft with no build up of product or anything else. Your hair doesn’t look frizzy or dry to me , doesn’t look oily or lifeless either. Looks really nice

Your hair is super pretty! I used to cowash daily when my hair was super short. It grew suuuper fast. I just got back to it, and so far so good. I thought it would be draining since I have more hair but it isn’t. I just add product and let my fro be. The work is in the manipulation (twisting, braiding, etc.)

Girl, when you took your hair down i was like HOLY CRAP ITS SO PRETTY

I have decided to try this and I have been co-washing everyday and I must say my hair is much more moisturized, less shedding and breakage. Detangling with a widetooth comb or finger detangling, use a conditioner with a lot of slip. I think the misconception comes in with African American ethnic women that we aren't able to wash Co wash daily because we are assuming that is going to break or strip our hair, but if you detangle properly let it air-dry leave in conditioner and may be seal with the oil and you can do clarify shampoo once a week to remove the build-up and deep-condition. This has helped me. For reference I have 3C 4A 4B low porosity medium density fine textured hair. At night I do about three jumbo twist and tie my hair up with a 100% silk scarf.

I'm not going to wash my hair every day, but I'll do it at least twice a week like I used to. My hair grew a lot doing that.

People should do what works for them. I’m black/Cherokee with 4c hair. I personally don’t wash my hair everyday, because I don’t think it’s necessary. I may do a water only rinse if I’m sweating or under a lot of stress. I co wash mid week/one week prior to wash day week. But usually this is three weeks after my last wash day that I do these in between cleanses. my wash days are every three weeks on a schedule, because I calendar when I need to do my next protein treatment. I cannot fathom doing a wash routine everyday and incorporate 30 min deep conditioning and trying to squeeze in a day to do a protein treatment--then, applying the LOC method to begin the styling process. My products will empty fast! I think It’s too excessive on my hair strands personally, and definitely would cause more harm than anything good. I deep condition every wash day so a wash routine for me has to make sense and serve a valid purpose.

I wash my hair focusing on my scalp since we all have one, despite the hair on my head,. My hair responds just fine and I have 4c hair.

If you ask any swimmer with type 4 hair, they’ll tell shampooing daily doesn’t damage hair. The opposite of dryness is water, not oil. Hair receives the most water when it’s cleaned. It’s just facts. When I first big chopped, between working out and swimming daily, I either cowashed or shampooed with zero issues. If anything detangling was easier and quicker. The only reason I stopped is because I was using too many products to style and as my hair got longer it took longer and longer to dry. Now that I only use one styler and a light leave in, I’m able to go back to washing every couple of days. I probably won’t go back to daily unless I cut my hair.

So it's probably ok to wet your hair more often than many people with type 4 hair think, I used to be hesitant to wet my hair more often because I didn't want hydral-fatigue, (and I don't like going to bed with a wet head lol). knowing this now, I think a better routine for me would be washing it with shampoo every 2 weeks and wetting it with water every 1 once a week, that's what iv been doing and so far and it's working!!! my hair's not dry at all, as long as I moisturize it well after. I'd even go far enough to say that I don't even need deep conditioner doing this routine!!!

4c girlie here! Daily hair routine: wash with shampoo, silicone free conditioner for a few minutes, finger detangle (nothing too intricate, since I wash daily, shed hairs, come out easily), spray some Aussie leave in, little bit of ecostyler all over. Shake it out. Blow dry for a few minutes on low heat just to get rid of excess/dripping water and get some airflow to the roots. Go about my day as it air dries. I don’t wash in sections, I don’t detangle with a brush/comb and I don’t stretch while blow drying. This saves me a lot of time and the whole process takes about 20 min. If you can accept your shrinkage and natural texture (though my curl pattern pops moreso than before), this is the way to go. My hair is softer and looks way better now than with any other method I’ve tried and I’ve tried them all. I’d like add I have very dense hair. I hear thinner hair may tangle more easily.

Did it grow more or did you even pay attention to the growth?

Did you use conditioner?

Thank you, I'm mexican but i have super thick and greasy hair, I wash everyday sometimes multiple times a day, I didnt believe that blacks can't shower everyday to be true, almost seems like its something a white person told black people to do.... some do it for style and wanting to wash it everyday is two different things...also dry scalp could be dandruff .... I just am here because my sister doesn't believe her kids should wash they're hair often, also I shower but I put oils back in my hair, I like pomade or crew products

We shower everyday! But a lot of use are brainwashed into thinking our hair doesn’t need to be washed frequently because it can be hard to manage at times when in fact washing it everyday makes it more manageable and less tangled. The only thing is due to our courser texture it takes more time compared to straighter textures.

@@EankiEtAl no matter who you are the theory is that if you wash and detangle it more often it shouldn’t take you an hour or so to detangle it over time because you’re not leaving it to get tangled days on end. It’s all about consistency and the right products that give your hair enough slip. The only thing that would make you any different is if you don’t have the time or money to tend to your hair more often which is okay cause everyone’s lifestyle is different you just gotta do what works for you and improve where you can.

@@EankiEtAl my hair is thick and highly dense mostly type 4b hair. I started washing it more often because I am more physically active now throughout the week and I have to or else my scalp will be irritated from leaving sweat and dirt on it. It used to take me an hour to detangle my hair and now it only takes 10 minutes because I talked to a natural hairstylist who told me to switch my conditioner and to use a more gentle hydrating shampoo for frequent washing. I think because I’m getting it wet more frequently it’s making the process faster also. And my hair doesn’t take forever to dry because I bought a hooded dryer that gets it 75% dry when I sit under it for 30 mins and I let it air dry on its own the rest of the day. So I’m saying this from my own experience. But like I said everyone’s lifestyle is different so you can only improve where you can.

Summer time fine hair can get oily

Lived in Minnesota and was the only black girl in class, at sleepovers. And started to wash my hair daily to have hair more like my white and mixed friends. Its dried out and broke off cause I used selsum blue shampoo daily!... (or whatever strong shampoo my gma had) so that made me believe to not wash hair regularly. But now I'm doing water only and co wash between the gentle and sometimes sulfate shampoos. I want to do water only and use my sebum but....it seems like a hassle. I like shampoo.

Cowash causes terrible buildup. Companies didn't create conditioner for washing. Do you skip taking showers because the soap strips your skin on oil? No, you just use lotion. Just use conditioner after shampooing.

When I first went natural I washed my hair 3 to 2 times a week and my hair was always stripped and I couldn't figure out why, until my mom and aunt told me to stop washing it a lot, and that's not even a everyday thing and it damaged my hair, I stopped washing my hair like that and started Wash my hair once to every 2 weeks and my hair was so much better, the feeling of my hair wasn't so stripped anymore.
