How often do you wash the hair on your head and how long does it take to style it?

If you could take a magic pill so that your hair never needed washing again, would you?

My hair is so long and takes forever to wash and style. Wash it twice a week unless it needs more. I would definitely take that pill!

I would take the pill I think 🤔

I wash mine every 6 days. It take flaming ages to dry and style and I swear every time that I'm going to have it cut short

When I'm really rich I'm going to have a small salon in my house and a hairdresser visit every three days to wash and style it for me.

Every day when I shower using whatever shampoo, shower gel I have to hand. Tiny spot of leave in conditioner.

Towel dry vigorously. Run brush through it, scruff up the top, done. Occasionally blast with dryer and use some Matt effect clay if I'm going out.

Every five to seven days - washing it any more than that results in dry, brittle hair and breakage. Neither are an aim. It takes about forty minutes including hair mask waiting time, clear gloss once a month etc.

Styling... it varies. I've been embracing my curls a lot more. Even wore them out for a date. Takes about fifteen minutes and then air drying. If I'm wearing it straight, about a hour or so. I have a lot of hair, it's a bit too thick and too 3B.

A long time ago, I blow dried a heavily pregnant neighbours hair a couple of times. She practically fell asleep while I did it. She had longish thick hair.

I wash mine twice a week.

Styling takes 10 minutes as I've lost a lot of hair.

A couple of minutes to blow dry then run the straightener over to get rid of any frizz.

I wash it every day, especially if I am working.

And if I go to the gym/workout, it’s then twice a day. Habit from childhood.

If I’m working it goes up in a tight bun and it takes me 10 min to fo it. At home i just let it dry naturally so no styling time needed. If I’m going out, meeting friends, date, special iccasion etc then I style it- blow dry and curl with my ghds- takes about half an hour.

I am lucky that my hair is fantastic without much maintenance. I would take a pill if it meant I didn’t have to dye it. That is a pain in the arse

One of the few pluses of passing age 60, is the grease slows down considerably. Great for hair washing, not so good for face

I’d take a magic pill that meant my hair stayed in whatever style I choose that day

I wash it on average 3x a week, more often if I’ve been active as the roots get greasy faster. Hair mask, hair oils and treatments once a week.

Depending on what look I’m aiming for will depend on how long. Anything from 10 min comb through bog hag to 120 min diffusing curly girl

Twice a week. The untangling of curly hair is a nightmare so it’s often up. It doesn’t take much styling just a lot of conditioner and time to air dry. Would deffo take a pill for daily perfect hair

Every morning and if I’m going out in the evening (not often!) I’ll probably wash it again. It doesn’t take me long to dry and style it, but it just doesn’t sit right if it hasn’t been washed.

Every other day. Working out daily makes it utterly grim if I don't do it that often.

In the summer I leave it to dry and have beachy waves (as long I put the right product in it, otherwise it ends up like Crystal Tips - those of a certain age will get the reference). Otherwise I rough dry it with a hairdryer and then straighten it - takes me about 20 minutes in total.

2-3 times a week. I normally it leave to pretty much dry naturally when I can,then a quick blast with the hair dryer and straighten. Probably 20 mins. If I curl it, it takes an eternity.

Prescription only and you have to make an gp appointment. So it's highly unlikely any of us will be getting them 😬

Once a week, maybe twice a week if I’ve got particularly sweaty for any reason.

I partially dry with hairdryer and then pop a bit of Quai hair oil on the ends and air dry.

Love my grey hair but I do occasionally use a pink or lilac shampoo from Bleach London when I fancy a change, but as the rest of my hair is dark it is not vibrant.

Every 2 or 3 days depending on what I’ve been doing, it gets rinsed in the shower in the days it’s not washed.

As for styling, 15 seconds is a long time!

Usually every 2-3 days, tied in with having been swimming/the gym.

It takes all of 2 minutes to rough dry. It's pretty short at the moment but I can quiff or gently curl the front bit when it's longer, which takes maybe 15 minutes? It would be less if I wasn't such a butterfingers and prone to burning myself

So no pill needed here.
