How often do you shampoo your hair each week—once, twice, three times, or ever day? What are your favorite brand of shampoos? Do you use conditioners? If so, what kind? Also, which brand of shampoos and conditioners would you consider your least favorite and why?

I have to wash almost every single day, because my hair gets incredibly oily and messy if I don't. I know everyone has to use different haircare methods but yeah I was unlucky enough to get the super-oily hair type. Kinda annoys me.

Every time I take a shower, which is between 5 and 7 times a week. My hair apparently looks fine to other people if I don't clean it for a day but it just feels gross to me. :/ And I condition it almost every time in the winter but only once or twice a week in the summer. I use whatever my mom buys as long as it smells nice, otherwise I complain. :P I like rosemary mint, strawberry, and cucumber-scented stuff mostly.

I shampoo my hair every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Monday and Friday I use dandruff shampoo, Wednesday I use normal shampoo. Because if you use the same shampoo for a while it builds up on your scalp... and I already have an oily scalp/dandruff issue... so I switch off.

... I probably appear pretty OCD right now lol ;_;

I shampoo my hair on a daily basis whenever I'm in the shower, because my hair is usually always greasy when I wake up the next morning.. and once in a blue moon, I'll apply conditioner to my hair as well to keep it less frizzy.

I have to shampoo my hair a lot as I have naturally greasy hair, I shampoo it twice every two days and condition it. My favourite Shampoo is probably head and shoulders, I'm not really in that.....lavender scented, apple scented stuff. I just want my hair to not get all greasy.

I shampoo and condition my hair everyday otherwise it will get all dried and withered ;___; I have lots of hair and they're thick strands (compared to average Asian hair) too. For the conditioner, I use a Japanese brand and it smells so good~

As for brand, I use head and shoulders dandruff shampoo (worked pretty great in the beginning but not so much now) and I pretty much use any shampoo that's on sale. I really love Panteen though.

My favorite scent is cherry blossom... though today I used my dad's shampoo, and he had uhh green apple or something like that, and it smelled awesome!

I think I shampoo almost all the time I take a bath, and it usually feels pretty nice to have it clean,
but I don't feel so comfortable with using conditioner so much, especially when my hair is still wet, but when it's dry it feels amazing.

There should be a signature here somewhere.
I wonder where it's gone.

I wash my hair every three days. Any more is kind of overkill for it and whenever that third day rolls around I suddenly start feeling so gross and greasy all of a sudden, darn body for putting on that facade. Nowadays I've been using more anti-dandruff shampoos because dandruff is the bane of my existence and needs to disappear forever. sigh

I have incredibly short hair that's kept in a fohawk, but even with that I was it every single day to keep it smelling nice, and because the back of my head likes to get matted (as short as it is), so I have to prevent that. :P

I shampoo every day, because otherwise my hair is semi-greasy and even that is enough for me to feel dirty. I use men's Head and Shoulders. Though sometimes I use my body wash. I don't condition. What does conditioning even do besides making your hair softer anyway? My shampoo makes my hair soft enough, and I hate having super soft hair. It doesn't cooperate with me when I try to style it.

This is gonna sound weird but I really don't shampoo much. I usually shampoo every third day and rinse the rest of the time.

When its clean it tends to get frizzy easily and I find that the less often I mess with it the less frizz I have overall. So since I have a job where my hair needs to be out of my way anyway, I usually work it around when I'll be doing out of work things and want to wear it down and then keep it in a ponytail while it'll be more oily.

I find that keeping the natural oil in my hair for a just little while helps more than any leave in conditioner or smoothing gel, hairspray, etc. Whenever I used a product I'd have to wash more often because by the end of the day my hair would feel gross. But more washing equals more damage and therefore more frizz.

I like garnier the most, but I switch products every other time to avoid build-up, too.
