How often do you shampoo?

[FoxxyLocs]

How often do you shampoo (on average)?

Do you use sulfate or sulfate-free?

You can also include an explanation for you answers if you want. Just curious.

 

[MsLauren]

I shampoo as needed. I'm doing the curly girl method so I rarely have buildup. And when I do shampoo it's sulfate free!

 

[greenandchic]

I shampoo an average of twice a month.

I use a clarifying shampoo if I'm doing an henna treatment and I use a regular shampoo if I feel my hair needs it. These days both are sulfate free. I cowash and use cleansing conditioners between shampoos.

Shampoos
Giovanni 50:50 Shampoo (to clarify)
Trader Joe's Tree Tea Tingle Shampoo
Shea Moisture Deep Cleansing Shampoo (jury still out on this one)

Cleansing Conditioners
L'Oreal EverCreme Sulfate-Free Cleansing Conditioner
Curl Junkie Daily Fix

 

[LexiDior]

normally i shampoo once a week with ORS Aloe shampoo but with the increase of products i use, i shampoo twice a week.

 

[wheezy807]

When i was On a consistent hair regimen, it was once a week with a sulfate shampoo. My only reason was because i always dc'ed after every poo so deep conditioning once a week was very essential to me as far as keeping my hair healthy.

 

[Philippians413]

I cleanse once a week with sulfate free cleansers. Lately I've been using Silk Dream's Go Moist Shampoo or Whip My Hair, but before that I used Kinky Curly Come Clean or Curl Junkie Daily Fix. I plan on going back to the Daily Fix once I use up all my shampoos.

 

[MyCoilsGoBoing]

I shampoo my hair once a week with a sulfate shampoo.

 

[Americka]

At least once a week.

 

[southerncitygirl]

once a week with a sulfate free poo.

 

[PinkSunshine77]

2x weekly. Sulfate

 

[MyAngelEyez~C~U]

I shampoo once or twice a month with sulphate free shampoo.

 

[golden_goddess]

Once a week, first with a sulfate shampoo (IC Tea Tree Naturals) diluted with h2o and applied directly to the scalp, then with Keracare Hydrating sulfate free shampoo.

 

[Lilmama1011]

Once a week

 

[Mische]

I shampoo once a week with a sulfate free shampoo.

 

[jessicarabbit]

once a week with a dr.bronners castille soap/bentonite clay/water/oil/baking soda mix. Its very lathery and gets my hair clean without stripping it.

 

[KhandiB]

I shampoo every week with a clarifier and non-sulfate (elasa qp ) I use Cones and Mineral Oil, so its a must !

 

[Angelinhell]

Twice a week. I only use the keracare hydrating sulfate free formula because the sulfate formula is impossible to find. I prefer sulfates though.

 

[Arian]

Weekly...I used to alternate with cowashing, but find that my hair responds better to poo.

Wash with Keracare sulfate free.

[silenttullip]

sulfate free 1-2x week - seborrheic dermatitis

 

[getoffmylawn]

Everyday to every other day with whatever is in my bathroom whether it's chock full of sulfates or not. I quickly grew tired of searching for "safe" shampoos, conditioners, stylers etc etc

 

[Postal]

Once a week, sulfate free

 

[Kindheart]

Twice a week with a sulfate or sulfate free shampoo .at the moment I m using Syntonics Detangling shampoo or Fructis Triple Nutrition.

 

[LightEyedMami]

2-3 times a month with sulphate free poo.

 

[ontheqtrain]

Every 2 weeks but during that time I am co-washing my hair as well.

 

[MystiqueBabe]

Usually once a week or once every two weeks. If I don't wash I will get dandruff. I use grease/heavy products on my hair and scalp so I have to do it often.

I normally use sulfate shampoos. Other times I will use a sulfate free poo.

 

[melisandre]

I shampoo my hair once a week using a sulfate-free shampoo.

 

[Evolving78]

1-2 a week
i use a sulfate and non sulfate. i use the sulfate for the first to remove buildup, rinse, then i use the non sulfate for moisture and slip.

 

[AltheaGarden]

I wash once a week using castile soap cut with water. Any type of shampoo always dries my hair out, even if it's sulfate-free and moisturizing.

 

[FoxxyLocs]

AltheaGarden - I had that pasture with shampoo drying my hair out also. I found Chagrin Valley shampoo bars to be really good for cleansing without being too drying.

I was expecting the answers to be less frequent because of all the co-washers in the board. Most people seem to wash once a week.

 

[SeeLexus]

ever week or at the latest every 2 weeks! It is a must for me, or my scalp gets itchy.
