Do you like/love/hate washing your hair?

**Molly_Marie** · August 14th, 2023, 05:34 PM

I have a love/hate relationship with washing my hair. Part of me loves it because once I'm in the shower, I find it relaxing and I love the fresh clean feeling of my hair. But I also hate washing it because it takes time and I wish I didn't have to do it, haha! I like the idea of having a whole ritual of washing it, adding oils, or pretreatments, etc etc. But often at least at this point of my life, I don't have a lot of extra time to spend on it so it is pretty simple.

I enjoy washing on most days, although sometimes I feel too tired but I still make myself do it (I always wash in the evening). It's the feeling of cold wet hair as it air dries that I don't like.

I love washing my hair when it's a relaxed day. It becomes more of a little spa day. But when it's one of those busy days when I have to wash it quickly and dry quickly, it's just an annoying hassle. But I'm grateful for my hair, don't wanna complain about it. Good thing is I have dry scalp/hair that can go unwashed for a week if necessary.

I hate washing mine. I hate wetting it, having it stick to me like glue when it is wet, the carefulness I have to employ when shampooing and conditioning, the detangling of it both during the process and after, trying desperately not to break it (My hair can break fairly easily, especially at the last eight inches of it. It stresses me out something fierce) and having to leave it down for hours while it dries. However, I am trying to implement different techniques to make it less arduous. This last wash, I loosely braided the length so that my hair wouldn't cling to me or tangle while I was shampooing it, and I've also taken to detangling it while it has conditioner in it, too. Doing those things seems to really help. Still don't like needing to wash my hair, though. I wish it didn't need washing at all. Lol.

I think I dislike the planning beforehand more than doing the actual wash/treatment/etc itself. But once i'm doing it I like it

That depends on the day, my mood and products I´m using. Sometimes I love it, sometimes I hate it. Lately my increasing length feels more difficult to manage on wash days.

I dislike washing my hair because it's such a process, however I do love nothing more than having clean hair. I just don't love the getting wet part. And having had dyed hair for 3+ years, I have to wash in cold water which is never gonna be a relaxing experience for me no matter how long I've been doing it for.

I love caring for my hair, but sometimes I feel exhausted and it seems a shame to use so much of my energy on my hair. Overall, I really do love seeing the results of washday

I enjoy washing my hair if it takes under two hours. Correction, I try to make myself enjoy washing my hair but I fail if the process is longer than 2 hours.
It's really relaxing and enjoyable at first but all the detangling gets tedious.

It's not so much the *washing* that I dislike, as that feels good and has lovely soft sweet-smelling results. It's the *drying* that chaps me. And the lightness and static, the tangles when it's dry, just so darn tiresome.

Which is why I'm so happy with NW/SO and chose "I don't wash my hair".
