I wash my hair every day. Not because it is dirty, but because it is short and I have lots of cowlicks. I need to blow it dry, so I wash it when I shower.

Hey, no need to brush before the dentist. They will clean your teeth. NASTY PEOPLE

Brushing your hair before a salon visit, brushing your teeth before the dentist, and washing your body before you get a pedicure are basic pre-treatment steps.

By fully washing your hair (and I have five products in my process) you're treating it before they can. But sure go ahead.

Washing hair isn't as hard as you make it sound. Gasp, some people wash daily.

I didn't say it was hard. In fact, I enjoy it and stay in the shower washing just for the pleasure.

However, I'm not going to do it when I know someone else will do the exact same thing but better the next day.

So you wash your hair and then pay someone else wash it again the next day???

Yes, if hair is greasy, it looks darker.
If they are color matching roots, I want true color showing. Not the greasy mess.

Those of you who go days without washing your hair are obviously couch potatoes. I work out daily and if I went more than two days without getting my hair wet, you could smell it on this board.

That's because you're white. I'm not being facetious.

Ethnic hair, especially with kink and coil, doesn't need to be washed as frequently, although it can be. It certainly doesn't stink after two days.

In fact we do better when we wait 2-3 days because it doesn't strip out oil protection. Whereas too much oil production in white hair makes you look like Severus Snape.

FWIW, if you are getting your hair "put up," they ask you not to come with freshly washed hair.

WTF? No.

They are there to clean your hair. You are PAYING for that service.

That is truly disgusting. Wash your hair please.

PP clearly has no idea how curly, dryer, ethnic, thicker, etc. hair works. I regularly go 7-8 days without shampooing my hair and I assure you it's not gross. In fact, my hair really needs the time between washes to produce a bit of oil and looks much better towards days 5-7.

Good grief. I haven't used shampoo on my hair in years.

What do you use instead? (Serious question)

Side note, but Adam Carolla talks a lot about not using shampoo. I think people with drier hair types can get away with just thorough rinsing. For a greasy head like mine, I need shampoo!

And what about working out? Wash your hair after a workout, please.
