    I’ve always washed my hair every day for the majority of my life. At several points in my life I wondered why other people’s hair seemed glossier and nicer than mine, but they were usually rich people, so I’d buy more expensive shampoo. I didn’t learn until about 6 months ago that you’re not supposed to wash your hair every day. Not washing it every day has made a big difference in how my hair looks now.

      I think I wash my hair with any product once or twice a year, and only if I’ve had something in it (lice warning at kids school, sprayed with mud from a hike or similar) and then literally use a drop of shampoo. The less I wash it the better it looks.

      Hair products are a lie. Water and a scrub is way better.

      My hair is short. No idea if the same applies to long hair. I suspect it does.
