      I regularly get temporary hair color to some of my hair (pinks or purples). Because they fade slightly with each wash, my goal is to only wash once a week in cold water to get the most bang for my buck. Days 1-3 no additional products needed, dry shampoo 4,5, (some hair pulled back/styled up) and days 6,7 I’ll put my hair up. I still shower regularly, just put my hair up and cover it when I do. Depending on activity levels if I’m getting sweaty, I’ll probably shorten it to a 5 day cycle.

      According to the lady I go to she has plenty of women that have weekly hair appointments for a wash, blowout, and style that basically do the same (and no - they’re not all “old ladies.”)

        Yeah washing your hair once a week is perfectly normal, especially for people with hair colour and people with longer or difficult hair. No harm in using dry shampoo once or twice a week for upkeep.
