Josie Forever ok I know I don’t have African American hair but my wavy hair can relate
Josie Forever LOL
Actually though. Like, shampoo (sulfate free mayybe once per month) and use a light conditioner to wash my hair and clean my scalp.
x Sav that lowkey sounded racist
@@lilyhaha156 How did it sound racist?
I agree with the majority here, dry shampoo is totally cheating.
Mhmm, she said I'm the first minute she "didn't want to use Anything"
what does cheating means? is dry shampoo bad?
venusss cheating the challenge. It’s not bad, it just messes up the data.
Yet you are probably spraying perfume into it making it smell like dirty shit. Use it, it works stop being a piece of shit.
Well, it’s more of a loophole.
I don't understand people who have unwashed hair and are still able to wear it down. I can have one good hair down day... freshly washed.
Her hair isn't greasy.
S Marie because she used dry shampoo...
Her hair is mad thin I think she cheated for real and washed it
@@KlaDillinger exactly. That wasn't 2 weeks of no washing. Dry shampoo doesn't keep your hair that fresh. You can only use so much before your hair cries for a wash.
I have maybe good 2-3 days of wearing my hair out. I use delectables hair mist to make it smell nice after 2-3 of wearing it out
I have one good day too. I am amazed how good her hair looked after 2 weeks
lucie: not washing my hair for 2 weeks
black naturals: hold my shea moisture
iman ! YESS
What hair tho a weave
@@mattboyer9689 natural kinky hair
I’m black biracial.. I don’t wash my hair for like two to three weeks but I co wash it in the shower!! Just wet detangle with conditioner
Iman Amadou I wash mine every 2-4 days
'You need to wash your hair every day.' Every curly hair girl starts laughing. 😂😂
Camilla Esmé well in order to make my curls I wash my hair every day and let it dry naturally or if it’s cold
With a blow dryer. So not all curly hair girls are laughing
How do you wash it? Is it a co-wash or a full wash? And to give me a general idea what hair type do you approximately have?
I wash my hair twice a week but some days to get curlz ya gotta co-wash
Camilla Esmé 🤣🤣
I have 4a hair so this is funny to me
My hair is dirty after 1 day so girl what the actual f**k I am so jealous😑
Army
@@iluvkpop3750 Yes.

@@catherinea534 Yes.
*_my hair gets really greasy after like 4-5 days lol_*
I have thin straight hair and sometimes my hair can start looking greasy as soon as 24 hours after washing, it's the worst
it's all a dream ikr! I have the thinnest hair and sometimes it can be greasy after 12 hours any tips???? (Also it’s blonde so it shows grease easier:()
Sophia Burnell u could put your hair in french/dutch braids and take them out the next day wavy hair hides the greasiness a bit more than straight hair .
caitlin lol ok thanks Ill try that!
Mine too, but mine is curly
Tbh i have the same exact problem and the only shampoo that works for my hair and doesnt weight it down is Vo5 volumizeing shampoo, you can get it anywhere that sells shampoo includeing the dollar store.
You kinda cheated by using dry shampoo...
Butter Cup she didn’t put water in it tho
Not kinda she did cheat
Dry shampoo doesn’t replace shampoo it just makes it look better
sincerely sam we know what dry shampoo does. It’s still cheating.
Sorta but she didn’t wash her hair so give her that
ok but like literally her week old unwashed hair still looks less greasy than my third day hair like I don't understand why she keeps saying it's so greasy lol
Kookie KxK you feel it before you see it
FUUUUUUUUUUUUCC SAME LOL
Kookie KxK I wish I had natural hair I was forced by mom more. To relax it and I don't want to cut it
Same, my hair looks like I've drenched it in coconut oil on day 2
I think the camera does something to her hair
this kind of video always pisses me off because they always use dry shampoo, like the whole purpose of the video is not washing your hair or even "fake wash your hair" with dry shampoo
Amanda Y E S
The thing is she didn't even let water touched her hair but dry shampoo is okay to use especially when she asks her coworkers after that how the like her hair
Yes!!!!
I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING
I wash my hair once a month, no products. I wash why baby shampoo and then put macadamia oil on the lengths and ends. It's not greasy, it smells nice. It's not itchy or flakey. I don't cheat with dry shampoo or water.
That girl just brushed her hair like nothing if I did that there would be so many knots I would not be able to brush it
Someone Someone ME TOO
@Yanny pup i have curly hair but do you wash it every week? I wash it weekly and it's never tangled
@Yanny pup i have thick hair and it gets tangled all the time maybe your hair is damaged?
Oh baby,,,, ive went a much longer time. Depression can make you do dummy things

Ikr with depression every single task is a struggle

You shouldn’t wash your hair EVERY day because then it will strip all the natural oils and make your hair dry and unhealthy
I do..
I used to dry it everyday and it was still oily at the end of the day, and I wasn't sweating alot or anything.
What do you suggest?
Jane O'Reilly OMG YES.
True, but that also depends on your hair type and what ingredients are in the shampoo. If they are sulfates, like sodium laurel sulfate, ya, especially if combined with other sulfates and/or harsh stripping agents. However, if you have a properly formulated shampoo, especially one that is gentle and particularly hydrating, washing your hair everyday shouldn't be a problem. Just avoid harsh cleansers and silicone. I have normal hair and wash it everyday, and don't even use conditioner at all, and my hair is soft and bouncy.
Whoa your hair still looks so good after a couple of days of not washing it!
My hair is really straight and heavy and it already is really greasy on the second day of not washing it... :/
i feel you sis
My hair get greasy and flat by the end of the day. I literally have to put dry shampoo in it on freshly clean hair. Though I also went 92 days without washing it and its weird how your hair just kind of "adjusts"
Cara L if ur hair is moisturized enough, then don't add conditioner, only use shampoo, it helped me :)
Cara L same
Your head probably over produces grease because you wash it so much. If you stopped washing it as often, it might not be as bad on the 2nd and 3rd days.
Everyone: *laughs in curls consuming their faces*
Literally every straight haired person: *shocked in grease*
I- I- yes.
I have straight hair and and I don't need to wash my hair for a week it never gets Greasy 😂
Mine gets greasy and my hair is 2c/3a
That’s painfully relatable;-;
Fr tho 2 days and I’m done for💀
This video wasn't as informative as i thought it would be :(
I thought so too but I liked it anyway 👍
yeah, she lost me at the dry shampoo. But, I have naturally coily hair, so this was kind of funny for me anyway.
I did that expiriment but I called it major depression and I felt icky anyways so *shrug*
Fresh Arche sameeeeeeeee
baby squid everybody deals with depression differently, when I relapse I barely even cry, I don't fell anything I just lay in bed and do nothing there was a point where I had to move back home and my mom had to shower me and brush my teeth
too real
I was about to say the same thing. Try having depression, not washing your hair will come to you naturally.
mood
okay, idk about y'all, but I'd definitely say that dry shampoo is cheating
me too!
Charlie Cullip ikr
Exactly
She ruined the experiment!!!
If she was curly she'd totally be able to go 2 weeks w/o any cleaning tbh. It'd smell tho lmao
Can we just talk about how big and beautiful her eyes are?!
IKR I THOUGHT IT WAS A FILTER
When ur a curly girl and this video is a *joke to you*
right like I can keep my hair unwashed for like 2 weeks and it ain't no big deal
@@mariongrey7853 Same. After a week my hair is definitely greasy. But I'm not black/mixed. I feel like their hair is really dry.
Lea our hair is not dry-
random but u are so pretty lol
Madison Goffney don’t understand
I am on day 5 of not washing my hair. I am not doing a challenge, I am just lazy. Ponytails for the whole week

If i dont go out i dont wash my hair for days. Sometimes i dont even brush it when i go out😅
Her hair has looked the exact same every day. I’m on day 5 and my hair ACTUALLY looks wet lol
*laughs in black girl*

*laughs in thick girl*
Lol
Phebe fr 😂😂
**Laughs in white girl**
Crystal methany white girls hair get greasy and oily what you talking bout 😂😂
Edit- I’m sorry if this sounded rude 😂😬
Maybe it’s cus I’m black, I don’t relax my hair or anything, I wash my hair every like 10 days lol, I’m looking at her hair and I literally don’t see anything different. It looks the same on day 1 as it does on day 11 LOL. Am I the only one not seeing the difference ??? 😂 like I’m sure it feels oily but I don’t visibly see it
Also why on earth would you not brush your hair for nine days just cus you haven’t washed it lol I’m confused
Lexus Jacobs if I brush my hair when it’s greasy, it looks even worse- so that could be why maybe
I am not black but I brush my hair like once a week and wash it once a fortnight lolllll
Lexus Jacobs same. I’m white (not sure why it matters) but I’m not joking when u say I have a right Afro it’s so bad
@@dcollins4045 "afro" okie only black people can have a real afro
I do this on the regular, every 2 weeks I wash my hair. Black hair is veryyyy different. If I was to wash my hair every 5 days my hair will break and be dry. Also because my hair is very curly the oils take longer to reach my hair shaft. It all depends on your hair type😌
Yeah I'm black too and black hair has to stay moisturized and washing it frequently will make it dry and brittle
same
Same
Jleahhh same
Jleahhh yeah cus I wash my hair every week because if I wait till to weeks it will get oily and dirty 👌💖
"I went 1 week without washing my hair and then I chickened out and started using dry shampoo"
I wash my hair every, like, three days? But I shower every day.
madelyn sullivan what’s your hair type?
Queen Reem heck idk. I have thick kind of wavy but also straight.. and long.
madelyn sullivan my friend has hair like you I can’t imagine having to deal with thick hair. I have very fine, mostly straight, fast-growing, extremely oily hair. So I wash it every day 🙄.
Queen Reem aw that sucks. Is yours at least easy to brush?

this is just me during a depressive episode lmfao
OH MY GOD COMMENT OF THE YEAR
She *definitely* used dry shampoo more than once during this experiment. Ber hair would NOT look that clean and have that much body. Dry shampoo causes dandruff and considering how she kept complaining about dandruff... Personally, I have very thick and wavy hair naturally, and my hair gets pretty oily after two days. My hair loses all of it's body after three days and almost looks straight along with being very flat. It doesn't matter the type of hair she has, it would've been looking *much* more oily if she didn't use dry shampoo.
Thank you I agree that it's cheating and we also have a similar hair type cause my hair gets sooooooooo oily by the second day it annoys me very much and my hair is thick and wavey
Casey Tyree I disagree. She is an honest person! Every persons hair is different.
Nabiha Javed Lucies hair is not very thick, and it's straight
Casey Tyree or she just has dandruff? Dry shampoo isn’t the only cause of dandruff and also not everyone who uses dry shampoo has dandruff.
Also dry shampoo is not the equivalent of cleaning your hair. All it does it take up some oils
We both have the same hair then
It really depends on your hair type :)
Pushicorn bob so true I have super thick hair and I wash it twice a week but it is still so heavy and it feels like their is 10 cats on my head XD and if I don't brush it for at least a day I look like I'm from Jamaica lol 😁😂
SamsterNpixels 🤔 and what do people from Jamaica look like?
SamsterNpixels What's "look like Jamaica" supposed to mean?
SamsterNpixels My whole family’s from Jamaica... what’s that supposed to mean? That our hair looks like it isn’t brushed?🤔
SamsterNpixels and what is that supposed to mean cuz I'm from Jamaica are you saying we don't do our bitch
I went almost 1 month without washing my hair.
Depression makes me angry.
I can easily go 3 weeks without washing my hair, with no real noticeable changes in oil, smell, texture, etc. I do this because my hair is down to mid-thigh, and wavy, so it takes a while for my oils to reach the ends of strands. It also takes a full couple of hours to wash it, and 48+ hours to air-dry. It's a process. I started changing both my skincare and haircare years ago (around 10), though, and my skin improved greatly, and my hair has grown healthier than it has ever been.
Longer than that, and I do start to get some dead skin buildup. Also, close-up, dry shampoo tends to look like dandruff. It is white and flaky /powdery, after all.
The reason people start feeling like they have "oily" hair after a day or two, is because they wash their hair every day or two. You're stripping your hair of all of its oils, and it needs to over produce oils in order to compensate. The same happens in skincare: if you wash your face with harsh cleansers every day, you can start to over-produce oils.
And many just simply can't wash their hair every day or week. Many black people with thick, course hair absolutely cannot wash their hair that often, because 1) it takes curly hair much, much longer for oils to coat the strands, especially when it doesn't lie flat on the scalp, and 2) while their hair is very thick and coarse, it also tends to be VERY fragile and prone to breakage. It requires oils and lotions to stay moisturised and healthy, and washing more than once per week promotes damage.
If you have shorter, thin, straight hair, washing every day probably won't cause any problems. If you're trying to grow out your hair, though (or already have long hair), it's generally recommended to wash your hair less frequently. Obviously, it takes a shorter time for oils to reach the ends of shorter hair, and it's cut often enough for new hair to replace old, damaged ends.
“No shampoo or conditioner” *uses dry SHAMPOO*
Exactly
No it still shampoo , she should use baby powder👍🏻
Lauren ._. Ashlyn shampoo and dry shampoo are too different things sis
Brynlee Drosky ok but it is SHAMPOO!!!!!!!!!!
Brooke Granzow no not really. Dry shampoo covers hair oil. Shampoo cleans the hair
Dry shampoo is definitely cheating. I am a white chick as well and I wash my hair like every four days. Maybe sometimes I go a week. I brush it every day though. I also wear it in a ponytail everyday for work. Idk
@Rachel Frumkin I shaved my hair and eyebrows and got a wig and fakes brows because my hair was Turing Grey.

bruh you are telling me i could have made a videos about my horrible hygiene
you dont know me and get a lot o views and money too haha
Bruh same
Maybe I can do it right now. I'm on my day 17th and I wanna chop off my hair
THIS COMMENT RIGHT HERE.
You're dumb it's not poor hygiene.You're just gonna be stuck in a paradox . The reason you have oily hair is bc u wash it everyday. Try to gradually go longer, wash with much less shampoo, sometimes just wash with water.
Literally everybody: *laughs in black/curly hair/ depression*
I have gone much longer than two weeks but then again I am black and have naturally curly hair so if i don't put product I can go 1 month. I rarely do though 😂
Celeste Gibson I'm not sure why it doesn't work for me, I have an Afro but if I don't wash it every other day I will experience extreme hair fall and super oily/Super itchy scalp.
Aida C. an Afro is different from curly hair. afro=african hair texture. our hair absorbs oils so we don't need to wash it as much we actually need to add product
+Niki N 🙌🏾
Niki N my hair is somewhere between 3c and 4c naturally. The problem my scalp plays its own game. I'm not sure maybe I use wrong products.
Yep I just washed my hair after wearing a protective style for 2 months in which I added oils to my scalp several times a week lol.
I can’t handle not washing my hair for more than 3 days because after that my hair looks like I gelled my entire head with 12 containers of gel so yeah I wash it everyday lol it honestly just depends your hair type
Paola Hernandez my father gels his hair and it looks greasy 2 me a lot of the time
Paola Hernandez it gets greasy because you overwash it and your scalp is trying to replenish the oils that have been stripped of it so frequently
I need to wash my hair after two days because i've got pretty short haircut, so i can't hide it with a ponnytail. At the end of the second day, it looks like i just left a pool😂....it's disgusting....sometimes i just want to buzz off my hair cause i'm so tired of washing it so often
That’s what my hair looks like after one day
Paola Hernandez no matter what hair type you have, nobody should ever wash their hair daily
Here’s a tip for anyone with medium/fine straight hair: rinse once a week! I use a mix of green tea, aloe Vera, and a small amount of apple cider vinegar! It’s awesome. I wash my hair Monday, use the rinse wednesday, and wash again Friday.
Her: Not washing hair for 3 weeks
Black naturals: HOLD MY HAIR STRAIGHTENER
The reason curly, coily, kinky haired people do not wash their hair everyday is NOT because we produce more oil in our scalps. It's because our oils can't get down to our ends due to the twists and turns of our hair.
PLUS, our hair NEEDS the natural oils. Stripping your hair with shampoo would strip it of those important natural oils, which make it beautiful, shiny and keep the curls intact. Plus we have A LOT, of THICK, lustrous, curly hair. The length, the thickness, the curliness, and the rate at which it loses moisture and becomes dry (which is ridiculously fast), are EACH individual factors in how much moisturizing is required. I use natural Jojoba, Argan, or other organic oils, directly on my hair (as one of many leave-in conditioning agents)--for styling, and to keep my hair nourished. Our hair is delicate, and constantly dries out otherwise. It's actually quite difficult to keep up with the conditioning needs of our hair. It's labour intensive, and expensive. My mom who is Caucasian, when her hair was it's thickest and longest--would still collect too much oil very easily. The Caucasian side of my family absolutely washes their hair essentially every day (save for the occasional lazy day--my mom certainly wouldn't leave the house without doing so). It wouldn't be my preference to wait two weeks to wash my hair. But, it wouldn't be an issue either. If I could cowash, I wouldn't notice it at all...;)
Also, I prefer to cowash as much as possible. I still do wash with shampoo too. I just wish there weren't so much grime in the city. I ADORE getting out of the city--because then you almost never need to shampoo at all...
MissJessyeNorman True. My boyfriend has thick straight hair and he doesn't wash everyday. I've never even seen his hair oily. Lol. I wash my hair every 3 days because it gets dry and needs more moisture by day 3. My forehead gets oily from my scalp though. 😂😂
MissJessyeNorman I never cowash. Lol. I always shampoo because I use products so cowashing only adds to the buildup for me.
427IndigenousSkies I just don't wash my hair all the time cuz it's break my hair off
Those people who haven't washed their hair in two years usually use water, because that's how it was washed through out history
yep and it's perfectly effective. water once a week or even every 2 weeks sometimes does the job
Water dissolves pretty much everything. It perfectly capable of cleaning your hair and scalp. It works for me anyway, and I'm 5 months in.
Normal for us black chicks
and us with curly hair
One Girl why
@@tigrispanthera5496 because our hair is thicker so it takes a lot more time to get oily and if we were to wash our hair every day we would be damaging it by stripping it of our natural oils and yes you are probably thinking "you can just put oil in it" but that's not how it works so yeah you're welcome
It's so weird cos I'm white and haven't washed my hair for 2 weeks and it's not even Greasy at all my hairs like rlly thick tho I guess
No wonder y'all stink
I can’t stand the smell of not washing my hair nor can my scalp handle more than every other day washing. It feels like my scalp is on fire! Anyone else??
Angelina girl me too🤣
Normal in the black community and it's actually healthier for your hair.
sw33tnycandy Not for everyone
@@kensiem8252 it's always healthier to not wash daily. When washing , you are removing natural oils on your scalp which coats the scalp and hair with healthy oils. The only reason why many people with loose curls and straight hair have oily hair is due to over washing. The body's response to being stripped of the vital oils is to produce more. Washing less will tell the body that high oil production isn't needed. It takes time for the scalp to the adjust but overall the scalp and hair is healthier with less washing.
sw33tnycandy i wash once a week. Light products and handling with a protective style. That is all I do
@@ssimms8995 Same here. Wash day is normally every 7-10 days. My hair can't tolerate washing more frequently or even a cowash for that matter.
@@sw33tnycandy Wow. This taught me loads.
why even make this video if you're just going to cheat with dry shampoo
bri childers because dry shampoo still doesn’t clean your hair
She didn't use dry shampoo
Dry shampoo is for volume nor cleanliness 🙄
Dry shampoo is for volume nor cleanliness 🙄
Dry shampoo doesn’t clean your hair. It just makes you look less oily. If anything over time it’s just adding more product, making your hair dirtier.
Some people don't wash their hair for a while because it's healthier. Your hair gets used to it anyways!
I've got thick straight dark brown hair and I wash my hair once a week and it looks fine for that time :') so
It’s extremely bad to wash your hair every day. How do some people not know that 😂
REALLY?😅
i’m pretty sure that it depends on the person, bc my friend can go days without washing, and she’s fine. but if I don’t wash my hair every other day, then it will be VERY greasy. like it look like it’s wet. we also both have straightish wavyish hair.
but also i’m no professional lol
Everyone's different and I wash my hair everyday because I can, but I know some people can't wash their hair everyday because of oil or whatever. It honestly depends on the person. (and don't yell at me because I do go some days without washing)
Just wondering but do I go too far in the other direction? I only wash it every 3-6 months, longest I've gone without washing is 7 months, and I only do so because dust, dirt, and sand start to accumulate in my hair.
your 15th day is basically my 2nd
same lol
alexandrasch riighhtt!!! It looks even better.
Me either hahaha😂😂😂
Sameee
alexandrasch sammmeee
I think this depends on hair type and ethnicity tbh. Just growing up in a black house hold, Black women didn’t wash their hair everyday. It damages it.
MrSincerity88 yeah I wash my hair every 2 weeks with a cleansing conditioner and I use shampoo only once a month because it dries my hair out badly.
I think black people have drier hair or something
same, i wash my hair once a week or i put it into box braids and leave those bad boys in for 2-3 months
I'm black and I can last 3 months without washing my hair and even wear braids for three months
Thank u
I only wash my hair every 5-8 days (5 minimum) my hair is straight but SUPPPERRR THICK
Also dry shampoo is CHEATING
No it's not. The vid is about not washing hair, & dry shampoo does not need to be washed out. So, there's really no cheating actually involved
"Challenge"
Hon, this is my life
I love her eyes so much
THANK YOU!
Maddy Dev i do too!😃
I'm not even gonna say it lol
Maddy Dev AND HER SMILLEE💖💖💖💖
If you compared my hair 12 hours after washing it with Lucie's hair 2 weeks after washing it, mine would look worse.
Margarita Math Ga mine as well
if you don't use shampoo, you should still wash it with water.
jem 2096 Dirty hair is still dirty after using water, and really hard to style. Better to actually not wash it at that point.
the water is boiling girl what? No it’s not there is still gonna be product and oil in your Cuticles
The rules were no water watch the vid
I use water only most days. Maybe about every 1.5 weeks, I'll use something. I'm just starting out as of a month ago. My hair is amazing and easy to style and shiny and soft and not itchy. Sometimes I get paranoid and put a drop of lemon or lavender essential oil in a cup and pour on my hair
If my hair looked like hers on the second week with dry shampoo, i probably wouldn't wash my hair at all. I look like I have 3 hairs after the second day of not washing it
Labas!
making my switch from cancerous buzzfeed to refinery 29! loving it tbh
w same
w sammmme
Umm... buzzfeed is not "cancerous" please don't joke about cancer too..
Dana Lipka yeah it is go away u libtard
Anyone who uses the term "libtard" unironically is a fucking idiot and not worth the time talking to. Either that, or 10 years old. Come up with better insults. "Libtard" is no better than "poopy head."
As a rule, I never wash my hair more than twice a week. Sometimes, I even wait two weeks, like in Lucie's experiment. I never have any big problems with my hair or scalp. So it works really great for me.
Norwegianeurovisionfancauseitsthebest same

That's nasty, but hey my hair is pretty oily rn so I'm not judging
Hahahahahaha
**Laughs in curly**
That's a good one
her day 14 looks better than my day 3
girl... not washing your hair doesn't mean not getting it wet... what are you doing? everyone I know who does this, cleans their hair once a month naturally, but showers/rinses their hair otherwise whenever they shower/whenever it works for them.
I don’t think that many people do that lol
Dancy Smith yeah I totally agree
I do that but I shampoo every week
How does her hair look that good 2 days out?? My hairs fine and it looks awful after 3-4 days. Maybe that makes a difference?
hipnhappenin I suppose it depends on hair type and how often you wash your hair. I only wash my hair once a week as it doesnt get greasy quickly
hipnhappenin my hair looks good still after 4-5 days😂😂😂 its between thick and fine
hipnhappenin My hair stays shiny and smooth for like 3 days but does not smell great but it’s itchy and stuff
hipnhappenin My hair looks awful second day after wash. But i gave up, i just rock high ponnytail and wash it every 4-5 days. Ain no body get time for dat...
hipnhappenin I have great and healthy hair but it starts to get greasy after a day so is it actually healthy??
9:04 WHY DO I LOVE THIS SO MUCH??
I give you huge credit for this!!! I tried to rotate washes to every 2 days, but I have skin and scalp issues that became even worse when I did this. Likely also due to being an active equestrian, my scalp needed to remove the sweat. I ended up having such bad dandruff (I already suffer from SD and eczema) I returned to daily clarifying, but with a milder shampoo. I also found that shampooing with Head and Shoulders and going every 2 days was actually more damaging to my hair than daily clarifying with neutrogena anti-residue shampoo.
Your hair didn't look bad at all!! :) Personally, I found that I can use a lot less shampoo if I "clean" my hair with hot water and massage it thoroughly before using shampoo: my scalpo feels so much better.
I once didn't wash my hair for n entire month and have only been washing it once a week for the majority of the past 5 1/2 years and for me that has really been working super well.
flaviaaalouise it really depends on the person 😊
I wash my hair only once a week ,sometimes I go even longer and it works fine, I barely sweat even if work out and if I do I use cinnamon powder or/and dry shampoo if I need. I noticed that it has been growing faster now that I don't wash so much
Pogues Mahone Sounds like you have super oily/greasy hair. Can't relate.
Pogues Mahone you don't have to be a jerk
i have trich so on a daily basis I tend to touch my scalp quite often hence why I have to wash it every two days... clean hair has always helped me feel more confident and less proned to pulling so i've basically started using really mild products in terms of shampoos so I can wash it often :)
Well I have curly hair and if I brush it when it's dry it looks like a birds nest so idk how some of these people are going months at a time washing there hair and brushing it daily 💀😂
Your pfp is my ps4 avatar
For me, someone with relatively straight hair, I need to brush it everyday to look, and feel great. It all depends on the type of hair. I also wash it everyday, but I’m trying to stop that. :)
My hair gets greasy but its curly prob cause i have SD
I recently started washing my hair
once a week because I want to maintain the pink colour. I don't use dry shampoo though.
*Laughs in curly hair~ness*
My hair doesn't look weird or smell weird even after 5-7 days.
Loom Geek I'm at nine and I'm not even doing it on purpose
Loom Geek same
Oisin O Toole lol been there
Me too
can’t relate
I look like a dead rat when my hair is greasy like my hair gets greasy every like 2/3 days.
You're just gonna be stuck in a paradox . The reason you have oily hair is bc u wash it everyday. Try to gradually go longer, wash with much less shampoo, sometimes just wash with water.
@@akkok5059 how many days do you get without washing your hair?
I used to wash my hair every single day and it used to get oily on the third day so I had to shampoo on the fourth. Recently I stopped showering every day and started showering on every third or fourth day and my hair's never been happier. It doesn't get greasy until the fifth day, my hair fall decreased and it's thicker and smoother. One of the best decisions of my life.and since I wear hijab , my hair doesn't get dirty even after a week of not washing. And so for a lazy ass girl like me, I love not washing hair. And in case you are wondering I have total straight formless hair.
I've been addicted to watching little videos like this from Buzzfeed.
But Buzzfeed has gone stale to me. I saw Refinery was recommended to be
and I just started watching and i'm hooked. I like seeing new
perspective and new ideas on how to keep things going on after a "week
of doing/trying some thing for [x] days"

I literally can’t go more than a day without washing my hair bc of how oily it is. I can wash my hair right before going to bed and when I wake up the next morning you’re able to see oily spots.
Diana Hernandez if you have just a few days that you can go without doing anything or a few days you can just not wash your hair, you can train it to not get so oily. Lots of shampoos really dry out your hair and your scalp, which makes your scalp produce more oil to compensate. You can train your hair, so to speak, to be less oily. All you need is 2 cycles of 3 days without a wash and it'll make your hair get oily less quickly.
Johni Autumn I’ve actually tried this before during the summer where I have nothing to do besides lay in bed, although it wasn’t that exact same cycle. I would just not wash my hair until I absolutely needed to go somewhere which ended up being like 4 days and I did it again the following week but saw absolutely no difference! I tried various other methods as well like adding in more moisturizer of some sort in which I used coconut oil before bed to trick my hair into being not dry basically but that also didn’t work! At this point I just gave up and now shower every. Single. Morning 🤷♀️
Diana Hernandez that's intense 😬 oh well, as long as it works for you. My hair used to get really really oily in only 2 days, but now I can go 5 without shampoo and it's not even that bad. It took me about 8 months though lol
Same!! I can't stand not washing my hair, i wish i could not wash it
Diana Hernandez omg literally me😂👌
I’ve gone a month without taking. Shower, 😇 I just don’t feel like showering and I wasn’t too concerned about my hair. And my hair grew like awesome! ❤️
I really hope you shower now thay's really disgusting
Thank you for doing this challenge.
Who else here has curly hair? When she said “ harsh detergents” that are in shampoo I was literally like girl, what are you talking about my shampoo has non of that shit...
Alessia Ciddio lol if you're curly and still using shampoos w sulfate and conditioners w silicones SWITCH NOW. your hair will finally be able to breathe! that sht aint meant for us curlies.
Not everybody with curly hair can find shampoo without harsh detergents (aka sulfates) easily. Consider yourself lucky.
Jesus Christ you’re just not looking hard enough
@@izzyxo3571
lol no
Almost everybody here has straight hair or chemically straightens their hair if its curly. There's never sulfate-free shampoos no matter where I go.
@@beepboopily6285 you will be able to find it. I'm speaking from experience, I live in the middle east and it is hard but you can find stuff online or just buy stuff that came from canada & america etc.
Isn't dry shampoo cheaten?
yes, 100%
The dry shampoo kinda diminishes the APPEARANCE of oil, and makes your hair smell better. But, that oil is still on your scalp, if you ran your fingers through your hair you will feel oil. Dry shampoo is kinda like face powder, it will mattify your face, but the oil is still there. It doesn't replace actual shampoo.
No it's not. It does not equate washing your hair.
Definitely not in my experience. I have fine hair and I always try to push for 5-6 days of not washing because I loose a lot of hair when I wash my hair. Dry shampoo helps keep the oil from looking obvious but my scalp still gets pretty itchy.
She should've used a more natural dry shampooo i think.. like Arrow root powder..
My hair is like that after 2 days, it litterally sucks
If your hair and skin gets oily fast you will age slower. I just saw on the internet that scientist have people with oily skin actually live longer.
Mines like that after one day.... ugh help me
I have super thick curly hair I've found out that if I wash my hair more than once a week, it dries out and feels like straw. For me it only has to be once week. I'm on day 5 right now and my hair feels great and smells great. I can get away with washing on Sunday but it feels best washing on the 6th day. Then again I got super thick hair as well and long.
I couldn't even do 4 days. My scalp started itching so bad, that I actually scratched my scalp bloody. So no I don't think this is healthy for my hair.
i get the same problem after day 2, we might just produce unusual amounts of oil. do you have acne too?
No acne, but my hair does get greasy really fast.
typos included that's because you've been washing your hair too often. it's a gradual process
bedtimeat8 That happens to me and I have acne.
some people just produce a lot of oil, its frustrating but you can't really do much about it
After 3 days of not washing my hair my hair looks like my hair is wet because of all the oil.
does it stink too?
Gray Ghost Ghost not typically it's just gross and I have psoriasis on my scalp so I have to keep it clean.
same
Put a teaspoon of baking soda in your shampoo and that should help a little, also avoid using conditioner on your scalp and only use it on your ends
My hair is dark brown, about 24" long and I wash my hair about once every 2 weeks. If I have something special happening I'll wash once a week. I currently have gone 4 weeks not washing my hair and it is unclockable. I don't get dandruff at all and after I brush the oils through my hair is fine. I wear it in a bun mostly to minimize the amount of dirt my hair can collect. I never cheat with dry shampoo either. I find that shit is awful anyway. I think it's just about hair type. Also I could never pull this off in my teens and 20's. My hair was very oily but now it's not. It's balanced. Thanks for the video. It was fun to watch and also see how others do in this kind of situation.
lmfaooo it's crazy how we're so different. if I dont wash my hair for weeks it doesn't get oily, and has no dandruff
Not trying to hate or anything but isn't dry shampoo a type of shampoo? I might be stupid but I'm really confused...
It's basically canned powder, the call it dry shampoo bc that's what it works like
Trolly Slimes it’s not it just obsorbs it
You can use baby powder and it does the same exact thing.
Trolly Slimes not really dry shampoo is basically baby power in an aerosol can
I don't understand why she won't rinse her hair but she'll but dry shampoo in it xD
dang. i wash my hair every other day
Shalini Ambady woah
Me too :|
Same ugh i canr help myself
I wash my hair ever 2 weeks
Shalini Ambady Same
I literally was my hair once a week, every saturday or every sunday. I just keep my hair in braids, and my hair still smells fine and it is oily, but not too oily.
sadan I do the same thing.
I am a pretty crunchy girl and I have tried going no poo and I have tried using every kind of natural shampoo and I have made homemade shampoo with castile soap... I just haven't found anything that really works. Even the full-on, horrible, store-bought stuff leaves my hair feeling filmy and greasy a lot of the time. I think it has to do with our REALLY hard water here in ATX. Thanks for trying it out for the rest of us! Your videos are so much fun!
If you don't wash that often, the amount of oil you hair is producing decreases.
Exactly. When I was younger, my hair used to get super oily if I didn't wash it for two days, because I was used to washing it out (usually with only water) everyday with my shower. Now I do a shampoo and deep condition once a week and that works fine without getting too oily or uncomfortable.
Once a week is about how often I use shampoo and conditioner too. I do rinse it with water and scrub my scalp a couple other times a week but only shampoo once and I find my hair is a lot less oily than it used to be, plus it feels healthier :).
only if you're lucky. honestly as someone with oily hair who suffers from major depressive disorder, which means sometimes there are weeks where i cannot physically manage to wash my hair and when going through episodes my hair might only get washed once a/every other week my hair has never made it to a place where it is not gross two days after being washed. and i mean like wet looking gross.
Iiduli That works for some people. But if your like my cousin she has to wash it everyday. it's just her hair type
It depends on the person. For me it doesn't work, no matter if I wash my hair everyday or every 3 days, the day after the shower my hair is oily again, but I wash it every 2-3 days anyways to keep it moisturized.
I wash my hair only when it feels dirty. That happens once or twice a week. And it looks good.
Amy Amalia same, and on days where its not too clean but not dirty enough to wash yet I just clip my bangs back and throw my hair in a scrunchie
Same. But I have coarse, thick, wavey hair.
Amy Amalia same
Amalia Hosu same tbh idk how people are so dramatic about it
Amalia Hosu I wash it 3 times a week, is that too much?
This is so funny to me I literally haven’t washed my hair in 3 months and it looks the best it ever has
Interesting video! I wash my hair every third day. Suits my hair and skin best. Except directly after colouring when I delay washing as long as possible, maybe up to six days using dry shampoo. Makes my colour last so much longer. :]
your eyes are so big its like a snapchat filter (not in a bad way)😍😍
i want your eyes lmao
I, Mrs.potato,want 100 subs thank you!!!!
I, Mrs.potato,want 100 subs They're freakin' gorgeous, I agree.
I don't wash my hair that often bc I have natural hair. Maybe every 7 or 9 days. It always has alot of oil bc it holds the curls but when I keep it like that my curls feel so good and my hair grows long and thick
dont we all have natural hair? lol
pinkdimples msp natural refers to black people who wear their natural hair texture oppose to chemically strengthen it
I SAW AN ARMY I COMMENT
Saaaame girl 👏👏 I have braids in my hair (no weave, all natural) and I don’t have to do much with it other than taking it out when the braids are messy, but luckily you can wash your hair with the braids in (as long as there’s no weave)
It's chemically straighten not strengthen
Lmaooo as a curly girl I have done this many times😂
😂 this is literally a less shady version of buzzfeed 😂
