When I used to have blue hair, I didn't wash it for a month and it was a huge struggle to get to that point, but after that month my hair was so soft and not greasy in the slightest. It was so good. I think I eventually washed it after about seven weeks, haha.

Now, I wash my hair maybe every four days or so. Maybe even a week. I can never really remember. I feel like my hair works better when it isn't washed though.

I just could never get through that four week period. Maybe I need to go canping for weeks and have no choice but to deal and I might get rewarded with awesome hair. Seriously eff that though.

You had blue hair? Were you a smurf?

lol, my best friend at the time used to call me Milhouse. :tongue:

Funnily enough, I was working in a bar at the time (actually the second time I had blue hair I was also working at a bar—must be my thing) and the week after I dyed it I came to work and they had printed out pictures of Smurfs and stuck them all over the walls. :hilarious:

Oh, ok. Lol. Why did you decide to dye your hair? I've never dyed my hair before.

Oh yeah, it was really hard, especially because I was using a lot of hairspray at that point in time. Though I think the hairspray actually somehow made it easier to bare because I would just spray away the gross feeling, haha.

I've been dying my hair since I was 10, so... I think it was to fit in with all the other cool kids at school. :tongue: I've only had my natural hair colour once, maybe twice since then. I used to change my hair colour a lot, but I've stuck to the colour I have now for over a year, which is really strange for me and I feel a bit uncomfortable about it. I'm considering changing fairly soon actually.

If I thought I could rock that classy looking pink hair I sometimes see then I'd totally do it.

You'd be surprised what you're capable of! Every colour/colour combination I've had has magically suited me. I can do no wrong. :smug: I think it's about owning it, really. I mean, now I look back at some styles and cringe, but at the time they were all amazing, I swear!

What is your natural hair colour? I'm a dark brown.

Well that's true. I guess most of the time the reason people can get away with something is because they actually do it. I'm not very adventurous with my hair, I once had some lowlights put in which felt pretty courageous at the time. Oh and I had that god awful thing where I'd get blonde extensions and then a row of black ones underneath.

Your hair should have a bit of oil to it though, that's a good thing. What sort of hair do you have? Thick? Fine? Do you find with daily washing that it drys out? Usually daily washing really isn't good as it strips your hair of essential oils but for some people with oily/sweaty scalps daily washing is ok. It takes about two weeks for your hair to normalise when you change your routine so it might be worth trying out?

I think mine is more of a "dark mousey brown." Whatever that means, ha!

It's only because you've trained it that way. Retrain it!

Yeah, @bleachy_dude, retrain it! It's seriously so much better for you (generally speaking) and think about how much you'll save on shampoo and conditioner!

My hair is pretty thick and I think probably a little on the oily side. It's never been 'dry' that I knew of anyway.
 
Also... My hair is fairly boofy, and I haven't had a cut in a while so it's longer than usual. If I don't wash it will go oily and becomes unmanageable. Like I can't get it to sit nicely haha.

I like the idea of saving money on shampoo. Although I don't condition![DOUBLEPOST=1429442839][/DOUBLEPOST]
Consuela said:
Yeah if you've got thick hair you really should be washing it every other day at most.

Hmm maybe I'll give it a go.

Oh this where our similarities end as I have very fine and dry hair. I have this really bad habit of washing my hair at night and going to bed with unbrushed wet hair and then I wake up with a massive birds nest.
