Okay I know. Obviously you need to wash your hair in order to keep it clean and get rid of dirt and grime, but it's always a good idea to skip washing your hair every other day.
Your hair produces natural oils which work to coat your strands and keep them moisturized. If you're rising away those natural oils every day, you hair will lose moisture, which will result in dry hair and possibly even frizz. Shampooing your hair three or four times a week is ideal. It simply isn't necessary to wash your hair everyday.
When I was in High school I was obsessed with keeping my hair clean because I wanted my hair to always look full and fluffy. For the most part it did, but I also had major frizz that was hard to tame - I also had no time to fix my hair (I would rather sleep) so I spent countless days walking around resembling a poodle. Okay it probably wasn't that bad, but you get my drift. Once I started washing my hair less, it became much healthier. All of the sudden, my naturally thick hair became shiny, and frizz was a thing of the past.
Generally, people who have long hair, curly hair, thick hair and processed hair can go longer with fewer washes. Many people object to fewer washings because they don't want their hair to look greasy. Totally understandable, but nowadays there are so many great dry shampoos available that all work to revive your hair and keep it looking clean and full between washings. Many are also scented, so you need not worry about your hair smelling dirty.
The only time one should wash their hair everyday is if they are doing strenuous exercise and sweating a lot. No one wants to walk around with sweaty hair, so if you must wash, try skipping shampoo every other day and just using a little conditioner on your ends. Your hair will be much softer, and it will be far less damaging to your hair.
