I was them more now than I did in the past. I don't like the smell or the oils lingering. Usually once or twice a week.

I use coconut oil in my hair and if I don't wash my scarf frequesntly enough my scarf starts smelling of rancid coconuts.

I wash them like twice a month. I've racked up about 10-11 scarves over the years..then there are my bonnets. I wear scarves 3-4 days in a row.. So I dont have to wash em as much.

I rinse my scarf every morning. It's dry by the evening. Since I've adopted this practice I get no more breakouts around my hairline.

This is a good idea. I have several that I rotate. My fear is getting that oil on my pillow case and it getting on my face. Plus I hate when it gets that greesy feel.

About once per week or so. Whenever I am doing a load, I will throw some in there.
I have so many and I alternate wearing them, so they don't even get that dirty in a weeks time.

Definitely once a week, but since I am washing my hair every 3 days now, I wash them more frequently..My rule of thumb is that a clean head deserves a clean scarf....I have 2of them in rotation...Need to get more!

Pretty frequently - I have several that come from a couple of recycled silk blouses & from a silk skirt with a lining. My skin is very oily and I try to keep anything that comes in contact with my face very clean.

I have a few scarves. I change my scarf every week, when I wash my hair and wash scarves in the washing machine. This sounds silly, but I didn't know you were supposed to wash them with shampoo??? :perplexed:

I throw it over my towel everyday so when I grab the towels for the laundry, I wash the scarf right along with them.

THis is why I have bought about 9 silk/satin scarves. I wash and alternate them weekly.

Chiming in w/ baddison, I have lots of silk scarves and satin caps and I wash the one that I use weekly with the laundry. I'm like a boy scout "always prepared".

I wash my scarf when I wash my hair. It doesn't get poo but whatever body wash I'm using. :) A quick lather, rinse and hang it over the nozzle. I have a couple and a bonnet or 2 so I can switch if it isn't dry.
