I am guilty of overwashing my hair.

I have short hair, so I am wondering about how much of that article applies to me. I wash it daily and condition about every other day. More conditioner than that, and I'll have really greasy hair :P

I do use a "smoothing" styling product that I think is an awful lot like a "leave-in conditioner." So I think that does the job for me.

I have short hair. I have a lot of hair but it is baby fine. No way, can I use a leave in conditioner. I have tried it. It is too heavy on my hair.

Yeah I cant use conditioner very often. Really weighs down the hair. I use Johnson's Baby No More Tangles on the bottom portion and it does not weigh my hair down. (and they make generic brands of the same thing and its a few pennies cheaper). My hair is super oily but if I have been beating it up with sun and Chlorine, I just dont wash it the next day and let the natural oils take over. I have to sit all day in a baseball hat and look hideous, but when I do wash it, it seems fine.

I also once had a "creme rinse" that had SPF in it. I dont know if it worked or not, but not seen anything like it for sometime. A hat works for me!

I do wash my hair less in the summer because I usually spend a lot of time in a chlorinated pool - in the winter months I def over wash.

I am just the opposite. If I've been in a pool, I HAVE to wash that chlorine out of my hair! I can't stand to go around smelling like a pool.

If your hair is color-treated, you definitely have to wash it after swimming.

The only time I condition my hair is after I've been in the sun for a long time.
I NEVER ever blow dry my hair. Unless when I have it done in the salon, I let them, but that may be only once a year.
I do not wash my hair every day. I will wash it one day, comb it nicely the second and the third it goes into a pony tail and that evening it gets washed, unless I've been around a grill/firepit, then it gets washed so I don't smell like I've been in a fire.
I've had salon ppl tell me I've got really healthy hair.

Coll, you are one lucky gal. I have very oily hair and it must be washed daily. I dont use conditioner either. It just makes my hair flat.

And I also don't blow dry unless I am going out, and I mean OUT, not to the market! LOL!

Have a super weekend everyone. I must get some work done. I have 3 contests to choose winners for...
