I'm hoping that being back in Ithaca and in working mode will bring the running routine back in my life. Seeing as how my next half marathon is next weekend, the little break from running will end, forcibly. On the other hand, I've been stretching out my legs as much as possible and they've been feeling less tight.

I've always heard that shampooing everyday is bad, it strips hair of natural oil, blah blah. That's actually all I'd hear of the no shampoo everyday argument. I'd always just sort of tune it out. It just seemed weird to take a shower without shampooing my hair. It would feel like running without running shoes (bad analogy since it's totally acceptable, maybe even encouraged, to run barefoot nowadays).
Recently, I've been noticing more split ends and unhealthy hair things going on.

So for now (please don't judge), I've decided to try shampooing and conditioning every other day. I should start slowly, right? Last night, I just rinsed my hair while showering. It felt weird, but the hair does not seem too bad today. At least not that I can tell.
Now please be honest. Do you shampoo and condition everyday? Were the beauty blogs on the internet lying to me about the acceptableness of not shampooing everyday? How do you keep your hair healthy along with your body?
i'm pretty hard on my hair (shampoo, condition, blowdry, round brush, flatiron every day, colour every 6 weeks) and luckily my hair is pretty healthy considering how terrible i treat it! i think what's helped it stay healthy is i actually do get it trimmed every six weeks (it's not as long as yours - it's a long bob)and i use a really good conditioner every day. and i totally think its fine to not shampoo every day - if it works then i think it's totally cool! in fact i'm jealous of those people who can go more than a few days without washing their hair...my hair gets so greasy looking and limp after just one day! i actually think i'm in the minority, most people i know are shocked when i DO tell them i shampoo every day!
ReplyDeleteBe at peace - I've always been an every other day shampooer! But I tend to have dry skin and live in Colorado so my hair doesn't tend to get oily.
ReplyDeleteI try to shampoo every other day and condition every day. I feel gross not shampooing when I'm drenched with sweat, so sometimes I'll use a tiny bit on the off days. My hair isn't model perfect, so maybe I'm not the person to hand out advice. :)
ReplyDeleteI shampoo and condition every day. With training multiple times a day, I find that I have to, or else it gets pretty oily and gross looking.
ReplyDeleteI do know a lot of women who wash their hair every other day, and it seems to work for them.
I don't always shampoo and condition everyday, but most of the time. If I don't wash my hair I just try to avoid getting it wet when I take a shower (and this is mostly because I want to sleep a little more so I can save time).
ReplyDeleteI can't wait until the half this weekend!
I don't shampoo every day. It's too hard on my hair. I usually go every other day and it's funny because usually my hair looks its best on the second day. :) On the days I skip, I put it in a bun when I shower and don't get it wet. That seems to work well for me. :)
