Not washing your hair (in the summer/working out?)

[ChopSticks]

Hey,

Just stumbled upon this amazing community and have been browsing through the "hair style" thread. I noticed a topic of discussion and since it was back from August 2010 I don't think replying to the thread would be the most effective route.

Basically, how do people go with not washing their hair (water-only washes / water rinses / wet and run fingers through) as described in the thread during the summer and work out days? I couldn't imagine just splashing water on my head after a weekend like the one that just passed. Or even after my workout yesterday when I was dripping and pooling in sweat. Personally, I have been shampooing my hair everytime I shower (I've had short and LONG hair and now mediumish) and never had any problems with lack of oils, dandruff or any other reason why people say not to wash your hair. I do notice the days I don't wash or have yet to wash my hair is a bit "thicker" and easier to style since it's already somewhat templated from the previous style. So I can understand that benefit to not washing my hair, but it's just hard to sleep at night knowing my head is full of grease, sweat, and tears.

So, with that said, what are the rules / guidelines to washing your hair in the summer and after workouts?

the only rule/guidlne you should follow are the ones in the forum saying you shouldn't make useless threads. a reply to the hairstyle thread would have totally sufficed

i do wash, but without shampoo or any other product. its really gross for the first few days and then some magic chemistry stuff happens and all the sudden its perfect

[julzkind]

you could use dry shampoo?

it soaks up any oil and also smells good. they sell them at sephora…i like the ojon brand.

I sized down 3 on my N&F skinny guy, should I wash my hair?

[narutofan]

no, you need to put more pomade in it

In the summer, i find the best thing for my hair is a good 70s wash.

When I get a fade cut, I tell my barber to hem and taper a bit.

This thread is on par with the man stain on jeans thread of 2007
