Overwashing.
I read washing your hair once a day is super bad for it. My hair is quite damaged (I've already switched to SunSilk Hydra TLC and I now use a heat protectant) but I want to see what not washing my hair so much will do for it.
How many days should I go without washing it?
And, what if my hair looks greasy, will that stop when it gets used to not being washed as much?

Heyy! you should leave your hair without washing it as long as you can because it starts to clean itself naturally. When you start to wash it less it will look slightly greasy at first. However, after a while, this will not be the case. It wont look greasy and it will be healthy.

You should actually wash your hair a maximum of every three days, according to a book I've got about Health and Beauty.
If your hair is damaged, a heat protectant and a moisturising/hydrating shampoo/conditioner will help. However, if the damage is caused by straightening, no amount of correctional products will repair the damage. Unfortunately, this is something I have learned from experience.
After using straighteners for two and a half years just twice a week, I had to stop because of the damage it caused. I haven't used them in nearly a year now and almost all the damage has gone. However, the minute I used them (up until now) over the last year, it wrecked the hair.
If it IS caused through straightening, you need to ditch the straighteners as much as possible and try only using them very occasionally. If at all possible, stop using them altogether for around 6 months, let your hair grow and then have a trim to get rid of the split ends. No matter what they say, split ends CANNOT be repaired. They can only be prevented or chopped off when they appear.
In the meantime, as for the washing your hair problem, try only washing it every three days. Also, keeping your hair up in a ponytail can prevent build up of grease. Finally, yes, if you stick with it, your hair will become greasy much less quickly.

what i do is wash it every other day. it won't get that oily if you don't wash it for a day. you should also try pantene pro-v for dry/damaged hair, it works really good! well good luck and hope i helped!

I was told that washing it every day washes out essential oils that are good for your hair and scalp. My hair isn't real oily though.
If you can go without washing every single day it is a help. I wash mine every couple of days. If it is real oily though go ahead and wash it. I don't think
it will stop being greasy once it gets used to it and you don't want yukky looking hair. :)
