Is Shampoo a Big Waste of Money?

[Empired]

I normally wash my hair a couple of times a week and if I leave it longer it goes absolutely disgusting and my head just starts to itch like crazy so I can't stand it. I only ever use shampoo - no conditioner as it seems to make my hair go greasy faster (no, i don't put conditioner on my scalp) and doesn't really add to the shine anyway? Don't get the point of conditioner other than as a way to throw more money down the drain.

I know that shampooing your hair every single day can be damaging, much like washing too much because it doesn't give your body's natural oils enough time to sort themselves out. (Obviously that's a simplified version of what really happens.) Uhh I know that if you do have to wash your hair every day because it gets so greasy so fast you should empty half your shampoo into a second bottle, fill up both bottles to the top with water and then mix it together to dilute shampoo. Think I learned that from Bobbi Brown but it was never that important to me as I don't need to wash my hair every day.

i wash my hair 2 or 3 times per week. ive never had greasy hair in my life, if i go anymore than 4days without washing it it gets really dry and flat

i never find shampoo damaging for my hair visibly. i usually get shampoo without parabens or sulfates but my hair would still look good usin a 3 buck shampoo like herbal essence.

I don't shampoo every day but I do condition which is prob even worse for it idk but leaves it SILKY SOFT

i don't use shampoo i use body gel all over its quicker to get everything done in one go

i also find shampoo can be harsh on ya hair so i'll only use head and shoulders (powerful) once every 2 weeks or so

I used to wash my hair everyday, and now I wash it almost everyday.. I just don't feel clean leaving the house without washing it in the morning.

I wash my hair every time I go out. Shampoo makes my hair soft and smell good and i've not heard of any really bad stories of shampoo damaging anyone's hair so much that it looks really bad, so I'll keep using it!

My hair gets greasy very quickly because of how much I used to wash it - but I can't leave it longer than a day. I have to wash it and I straighten my hair etc. so damage from shampoo is the least of my worries.

I wash my hair every other day or it feels gross, don't use conditioner though cos it makes it go greasy so that saves money I guess

I'm pretty sure (don't quote me on it tho) that shampoo does darken everyone who uses it's hair quite considerably but I'm not sure whether that could be counted as a particularly bad thing? I couldn't care less :S
