Hair washing, do you maintain a routine that works well for you...

[LadyEmeraude]

Great posts you all!

In Summer I wash my hair each day. Jump into the shower and have a super
quick rinse with Cetaphil or other baby shampoo.
I don't use ordinary shampoos.
Then I may rub a drop of mousse through the hair and I'm good to go. I don't use a hair dryer.

I wash my hair once a week. If you’d told me, before menopause, that I could go a whole week without a hair washing, I’d have called you a bald faced liar!! If I didn’t wash my hair every day, sometimes twice a day, it would be a greasy, awful mess!!

But here I am at 70, washing my hair once a week and marveling at how it looks better and better as the days go by!! I swear I could EASILY go longer, but my own personal hygiene asthetic won’t let me

I can afford really good shampoo and conditioner because of only having to use it once a week. So I indulge myself. Add some mousse to the crown of my head after shampooing and conditioning (where it tends to go flat) then finger style and curl and let it air dry

Shower daily and keep my hair fairly short.......use Irish Spring bar soap head to toe.

I used that Irish Spring soap once, and had a violent skin reaction that looked like hives. Never again. I have very long hair for a man, down to the middle of my back, and I use a combination shampoo and conditioner from Dove for men. Twice a week. Blow dry and brush out, then pony tail with a cinch tie at the nape of the neck. Think of a retired biker, that is what I look like, with a medium long beard as well. JImB.

That's not how I picture you! I will now.

At six foot 3 and 220 pounds, that is my persona. But I am also what I like to describe as "well read " and a student of the human condition. In other words, don't judge a man by his haircut. Grin. JimB.

I started using a shampoo bar I buy from a seller on Etsy. I also buy regular soap from her. I think it works well. I try not to wash my hair more than twice a week. My hair is coarse and it gets like dry straw if I wash it too much.

I knew a man who had a stroke hours after an eye appointment. Don't hyper extend your neck for those eye drops either.

Good advice. Thanks for that.

I'm so sorry for @Della's mom and the man you knew who both had strokes from seemingly innocent activities. It appears this complication isn't as uncommon as we might have guessed.

Love long hair on men!

Hair washing, do you maintain a routine that works well for you...

Yeah, I think so.

When my hair gets dirty I wash it, with a cheap shampoo. Never understood what conditioner was for. No blow dryers here, just a towel.

My still mostly light brown thin hair though thinning at top, does well with the cheapest least additives shampoo, Alberto VO5 Normal then a blow dry. Static and less than straightness gives me a full bouncing look when walking about or dancing. Have never ever used hair coloring.

That's me. Ivory for dishes, hair, body, car, bathtub, lots of things. I used to wash my leather shoes with it too.

I knew someone who said she was almost out of countertop cleaner. What? There's a special product for countertops?

 

[mrstime]

I keep my hair short, it is fairly thick with a bit of natural waves and very dry. So I wash,condition and comb it the way I want it to dry. It dries very quickly and then I brush it and that is that.

 

[Geezer Garage]

I change the oil every 7500 miles.

 

[StarSong]

I need to use wash-out conditioner after shampooing then add leave-in conditioner after towel drying or my hair is unmanageable and just doesn't look good. I never had this problem when I was younger but learned it's fairly typical with grey hair.

Not a big fuss - just a small daub takes care of it.

I wash mine daily or I just wouldn't feel right. I get a cut every six weeks and a colour every other time at the hairdresser's. My style is easy upkeep.

 

[peramangkelder]

I have long hair which gets thoroughly washed once a week
After washing I add a good dollop of mousse and comb it through
I let my hair dry naturally and it morphs into a mass of 'Puffball' hair....which I hate
I use a Dafni Hair Straightening Brush and I end up with long wavy tresses....which are okay

 

[Rose65]

Hair washing/shampoo, conditioner, rinse, set and style or
let it dry naturally, we each do our own thing~

Wash and condition every day. I apply mousse and scrunch dry. I get it cut every 6 weeks. I get a colour every 3 months as I do not want to be grey just yet.

 

[PeppermintPatty]

My hair is thick, long & curly and I wash it every 5 to 7 days . I condition the bottom half first, wash my scalp with shampoo then condition the bottom again. It’s combed and
air dried

Big bar

Brother?

I wash mine every 2 to 4 days. I like to get the natural oils back in it. I condition it with rinse out conditioner or the kind you leave in. I don't blow dry.

My hair is thinner than it used to be but Ok so far. I'm trying to blow dry less and urge some natural waves. My hair is much healthier since I stopped coloring several years ago. Since I don't have to go to work I can let it dry naturally and by early afternoon it's pretty dry especially in warmer weather. I wash every 2 to 3 days. Purple shampoo twice a month.
I found some very light curl cream by Herbal Essence so I can mold some waves without crunch or grease or frizz. I use it sparingly and it's the best I've found. I actually found it in a closeout lot type store. Luckily, I bought two because I don't think you can get it anymore. It's called Soft Control Creme #1 light.
Anyway, I can't believe there's so much to talk about hair but unfortunately most of us just don't have the thick lush hair we once did.

Shampoo every other day. Have wash and wear hair.
