Well as I’ve been dying all week from flu I haven’t washed my hair since Monday (don’t judge me) well just before I washed it today I brushed it and thought how lovely and shiny it looked. I’ve been using dry shampoo all week but does shampooing strip the hair or it’s goodness?
I heard somewhere your hair cleans it’s self after a while. |

I used to work with someone who never washed her hair. It was beautiful 
She did have to go through the horrible greasy stage, but she got there.
I did hairdressing at college for a year and yep, washing your hair damages the natural oils. I wish I could go longer than two days without needing to wash mine 
My mum washes hers once a week and it’s lovely all the time. |

I believe it does go thro a self cleaning process, but it takes a while. |

"I had to wash it today, head was itchy!
Yeh I'd love to try it out but couldnt get past the head itch stage."
If I could have resisted I might have as my hair just looked amazing. |

I think your assumptions are correct. I personally don't wash my hair. I started this years ago. When i'm in the shower though, i tend to soak my head and brush my hair with my fingers until it feels smooth. My hair isn't as long as i had it at one point. I had my hair below my shoulders when extra-ing for Game of Thrones. Even when i had it that ling, i never washed it. Colleagues, women, in work used to ask how i looked after my hair. As it looked so healthy. From time to time, shower gel was used obviously but 99% of the time, my loaf just gets a good soak. Piping hot water is also advantageous.  |

I used to wash mine every day as it would start getting greasy at night but I was pretty ill last year so for around 3 months I couldn't wash it often and now it's in the best condition it's ever been.
I could probably go a week or more without washing as it doesn't get greasy now. Unfortunately old habits creep back in and I wash it more than I should! |

Try it again but give your hair a good hot soak every day. Running fingers through until smooth and all tats are out. Can't believe i'm tslking about hair care to women!   |

I haven’t washed my hair with shampoo wet or dry for 20 years, it doesn’t smell of anything, it’s in very good condition according to my barbers too, cold water rinse twice a day and that’s it |

So it does work then. Does you head get itchy? (Apologies for the randomness of the question)

I wash mine two or three times a week. Its not that it gets greasy, but certain smells cling to it like smoke or cooking smells. I can even smell ash from the fire off it. I don't feel clean unless my hair smells clean. |
