Went to the hairdresser today to discuss my wedding hair and she says I'm not to wash my hair for 3 days! before the wedding. Has anyone else been told this? I know dirty hair is easier for them to work with but I'll feel disgusting if I haven't washed my hair for 3 days. I was planning on just washing it the nigt before but she said it would be too clean and soft.

Yeah I would also say three is very extreme. I can get away with two days but after that its a grease ball.

She said that when they put the product in and put me under the dryer to set my curls then it won't look greasy cos the dryer will dry it

LIke Goff I have heard that they advise you to not wash your hair for a day before you get it styled but not 3, that is a bit gross, my hair gets quite greasy after 3 days and it wouldn't smell too nice either with 3 days worth of cooking smell or just being in bed next to your bad breathed OH, lol. x

CommentAuthorMrs Steer
My hairdresser has advised me to wash mine on the Thursday Night, which will be late as we have rehersal and then not again and getting married on the Saturday. She said its purely because if the hair is soft and shiny and clean it will not hold and just fall out. I know the feeling though i was like Thursday ERGH!!! Try it before hand, when do you have a trial? Wash it 2 nights before so you have gone one night, one day, another night and then the day of the practise to see if its ok xx

yup thats MAD... Three Days???
Mine has told me to wash mine on the Fri morning...
Ewww i couldnt leave my hair for THREE days LOL x
CommentAuthorjoey86
Yeah that sounds extreme! Also, if you wash your hair every day or every other day, surely your hair gets used to it and therefore if you don't keep the routine it'll get greasy quicker? I used to wash my hair every 2 days and now do it every other day - and my hair is quite thick, but if I don't do it every other day, it gets horrible! x
CommentAuthorhjl2001uk
I wash mine every other day and it gets greasy if I leave it any longer. I want full, shiny hair not limp greasy hair

If I didn't wash my hair for three days no hairdresser (or anyone come to think of it) would want their hands near it! I know that hairdressers generally like 'day old' hair to style but 3 days seems like a bit much.
CommentAuthorloubylou
i was going to wash mine in the morning before i go to the hairdressers then i thought she would wash it for me when i got there.... i think i'll have to ask my hairdresser, who is my good friend when i see her tomorrow my hair looks terrible after not washing it for 1/2 days nevermind 3!!!

oh dear god i wash my hair every morning it gets so greasy i cant even do it the night before now!
i went to the hair dressers for a cut and an updo not so long ago they actually washed it and treated it with some hair care stuff then cut n dried it then put it up for me half up half down all curls now my hair is fine to normal and very smooth and shiny and normally curls drop out in a matter of 10mins all she put on was hair spray and they lasted all afternoon and night!!!
i dont believe you need to leave it 3 days yuk!!!!!
CommentAuthortilomilo

You can "train" your hair not to produce so much, but it does take time. I used to wash my hair every day but my hairdresser told me that was too often, especially with using a hairdryer on it as well, and advised not more than twice a week. It was horrible at first but after a few weeks I found I could easily go 3-4 days before it needed washing and my hair is in much better condition because of it too. Even so, I wouldn't want to leave my hair unwashed for 3 days before my wedding day!
Now, finally, Mrs Riley

when your hair is just washed it will not hold as well as it would if it was a bit dirty ie not washed for a day or so but 3 days is wayyyyyyy to long maybe dont wash the day b4 but tbh they can use plenty of product on your hair so it will hold i wash mine and curl it with tongs it lasts all night although i wont use as much conditioner as this makes it soft by smoothing your cuticles down so i would just put it on the ends il be washing mine day b4 as i cannot stand unwashed hair makes me feel dirty xx

Right i'm going to go and hide...I only wash mine once a week! I shower everyday obviously so I am clean - but my hair doesn't need it! The only exception might be during that time of the month and I might wash it twice a week. I promise I'm not a minger :0S

That's really good for your hair Suz. As long as it's just your hair you're not washing then that's a really good thing. Wish i didn't have to wash mine so often cos I hate drying and styling it, it takes forever.

Ok if you want to feel good Suzi once I didn't wash my hair for over two months. Admittedly that I was a tramp at the time living on the streets and didn't have a choice and by the time I was picked up and put in care I did stink to high heaven lol.

CommentAuthorLittle Kettle
I used to wash my hair every day and my friend who was my hairdresser before she moved to Germany went mad when I told her how often I washed it! She trained me out of it, starting with washing it every other day, then stretching it. I can now go 5 days without washing it before it starts to get greasy, which I never thought possible! It takes patience though (something I don't have a lot of, but as my H2B shared a flat with said hairdresser friend, if I didn't do it, she'd have known!). My hairdresser in Vegas has said clean dry hair upon arrival. I'm having my trial the day before so it'll get washed that night (to save some time in the morning of the wedding) to get rid of any products used as these make my hair really yucky, really quickly.
Vegas baby!

I was told to have wet hair when the hairdresser turned up as it was the easiest to style from that.

My hair can get quite dry and I can easily leave it for three days without washing. i know most you ladies think thats gross, but if i washed it even as often as every other day it gets so dry and frazzled.
I have actually gone 5 days without washing it once and it looked ok, but I felt a tad gross I have to admit!!! hehe!
but yeah I washed my hair yesterday morning - I probably wont wash it again now till tomorrow night or Friday morning.
