Non daily hair washers-curly hair??

[kateausten]

I have really wavy hair that I can get pretty curly with enough product, scrunching, air drying and using a diffuser. For other curly girls that don't wash their hair every day, how does that work?

If I have my hair curly the next day I will spritz it with water and scrunch the curls and just put it up in a pony. It never looks as good as the first day when it's curly. Can you use dry shampoo with tons of product in your hair?

What does everyone else do? What products do you use? I just use Tresseme mousse and hairspray.

On day 2, I just add a little more of the product that I used on the first day & smooth our any frizz. On day 3+ I usually use dry shampoo and depending on how it's holding, I may pull part or all of it back.

like I said, I'm a co-washer when I want it curly. so I don't shampoo daily but I do wet my hair and rinse it with conditioner on the days I want it curly. then I let it air dry a bit, and apply a curl cream for moisture and control.

Ditto everyone else. Depending on how my hair is behaving, I may be able to get away without rinsing, and just gently untangle some sections with a comb, spritz on some water and a little additional product (usually some curl cream and scrunch spray), and diffuse to finish it off. This is usually what I do for 2nd day hair. For day 3, I will again comb out tangles, then I'll shower with my hair pulled up. The last thing I'll do in the shower is wet my hair just a little bit, focusing mostly on my ends and the areas that get the most frizzy but I don't co-wash because it weighs my hair down too much. I'll then follow the same steps I do for 1st day hair with regard to drying and products, but I usually use a little less product, since my quick rinse usually doesn't get it all out.

This confused me at first. I thought not washing it daily meant not wetting it at all in the shower but it doesn't. I still will occasionally not wet my hair daily but usually I still shower and wet it daily. I just don't wash it with shampoo and just condition. I only skip getting it wet at all if I am going to be putting it up.
