(Hair) Health Related Issue

I guess it depends on your hair texture and how it will hold under daily shampooing and washing.

I have had short hair since I was 19. Before it was approx. your length, Cheryl. No regrets...30 yrs. later.

I wash my hair daily ..in evening plus shower.

However before cycling years, I used to wash it early morning daily before going to work. But now have to reverse it for evening, because of exercise during day..and certainly I can't get up any earlier than 4:30 am (!) to get ready for my long commute..that's why I MUST do whatever showering previous evening.

I sweat moderately, not as heavy as other people but my hair in the past and less so now, does have enough natural oils to still withstand gentle, but daily sudsy shampoos daily at this phase in my life.

I have fine but lots of hair that still shines naturally with ordinary daily shampooing. I never have to use hair conditioners..it makes my hair dead flat and oily.

I'm intrigued by these stories of caky long hair from sweaty exercise. So glad I have short hair. Realistically, methinks most short haircuts, meaning chin length and shorter do require maintenance haircuts every few months for care control and chic visual appeal. It's a price I willingly pay since I'm not into facials, pedicures, manicures or much makeup at all.
