How Often should a black person wash their hair?

I am a 14 year old male and I am African American and was wondering, how often should I wash my hair? Most White people (NO OFFENSE) wash their hair everyday and I was wondering should I do that? Well people say that if you do that you will wash out all the oils and that is bad. HELPPPP!!!!!!!!!

No offense to anyone but it does not depend on your color how many times you wash your hair.One should wash hair as soon as he/she feels it has become dirty. It may be everyday, alternate day or any other frequency. But you must take care that gap between 2 washes should not be more than 5 days. It also depends on your hair type. Generally hair is divided into 3 types- normal, oily, dry. Normal hair may be washed after every 2 days, oily daily and dry every 3 days. This is just general information. The frequency will depend on person to person as well as the climatic conditions one stays in..So i would suggest that wash your hair as often as you want and as soon as you start feeling that its become dirty. Since you havnt mentioned your hair type i cannot tell you if its ok to wash every day. But if you feel give it a shot.. There are special shampoos in the market for everyday use.. Try them out.. Suggestion- Garnier fructis Daily care range.... Show More
I wash my hair once a week. I don’t go multiple times a week because I don’t have the time nor energy to maintain that kind of routine. It really depends on the person. If you work out a lot you might want to wash a 2-3 times a week. I know some people who shampoo once a week and condition every day or every other day. I know if I go beyond one week my hair begins to break off. Find a routine that works for you. I prefer at least once a week.... Show More
lol, dont wash your hair everyday. It really does get rid of the oils tht you need to keep your hair healthy. People of color need to these oils. I wash my hair every 10 days. I have natural hair. No perms and whatnot. But your a man you can wash it every 5 days. And get you some good oil. My husband like tea tree oil.... Show More
rumor has it that if u dont wash ur hair for ages but still wet it (just without the shampoo),for like half a year, the oils make it really nice. A guy i know tested it and it worked! but it was really discusting for ages and ages so unless ur planning on not washing ur hair for half a year, just do it every time it gets yuck, i wash my hair about twice a week, i find it gets to thin if i wash it daily, and its too much of a hassel...
