Dirty Hair Project questions

I would try just washing it every other day for about a week and see how it goes. Im not sure if using products will skew the results, but you might find you wont need them.

Ditto - I wash my hair every other day when I am able to. My hair is a little greasier on non-hair wash days, but I do think your hair gets used to it over time. I just time it a little, so on days I want to look my best, I wash my hair.

Benefit: The day after a non-hair wash day, my hair looks better than if I do wash it every day.

I don't think products will skew the results at all. I wash my hair 2-3 times a week (depending on how many times I hit the gym), and I'm always putting powder in it on day 2 or 3. It doesn't change how much oil my scalp produces or anything like that. It just makes it look better.

Go for it! Your hair will thank you.

I've been trying this for the last few weeks and while I do get a little oily on day 2, I've found that the bumble and bumble tonic lotion sprayed on the morning when I don't wash helps. I need to get some hair powder b/c I think that would work better.

I don't have any suggestions, really, but I do want to say I think your hair will really benefit! This semester has been tough for me, so many days I would just throw on a head scarf or ponytail and leave without washing my hair. Unwashed hair doesn't look so good on me, but just after this semester of washing my hair about every other day my hair stylist asked me what I did to it because it looked so great! I know I won't be able to keep this up after I graduate and actually have to look presentable every day... but I'm doing it as long as I can get away with unperfect hair just going to classes and working from home.
