[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Obviously it depends on your hair type, porosity, and oil. My thick coarse Scottish hair would look like dried out Brillo if I washed it daily. Once a week only! I’m always shocked that I get the most compliments on days 6-8 post-wash.

I will say that many white women have super dry, faded looking hair. Maybe because they’re stripping the oils out with a daily wash.

Also OP- you’re nuts about smell. It smells like hair. It’s not gross. Just a natural soft smell. [/quote]

There is a scalp smell for some people (of all races), I’ve smelled it too. But it is not really related to daily shampooing. I’ve smelled it on people that I know shampoo daily. I actually think it’s a small fungal infection that’s resident on their heads. OP is right that some people do have a scalp smell but is wrong about tying it to daily shampoo. Actually, I think for some people daily shampoo makes it worse, because it strips off healthy protective oils and leaves fungi to grow.

Agree with you about over-washed hair. You can see the damage. It’s ugly.

Really what you need to know is how healthy your scalp is and what works best. For some people that will indeed be daily shampoo, for some it’s every other day, for some it’s once a week. OP is wrong about insisting that the same health routine works for all. [/quote]
