Apparently washing your hair every day does no harm. Just use a mild shampoo and only condition the ends of your hair, not the roots. Also don't use the same make of shampoo for years. It's good to change the make every few months or so.

Hope this helps.

thanks btu could there be a reason for it?

I know this is not much help but it does show how we can be affected in some wierd ways. All my life I have had very frizzy hair since my fibro suddenly took off and became worse my hair has gone straight, I just got up one moning 3yrs ago with straight hair and it stayed that way sue

i have had to keep my hair really short as i just couldn't manage with the washing, even in the shower, but with it short, even if i just use the shower gel thats on my screechy thing it doesn't do it any harm, apart from some shower gels do make it feel greasy. i find if you use a soap free one like the body shop shower gels they are ok as shampoo too. if you are washing it all the time its ok. not sure if you have long hair though. alternatively use baby body wash as an all over wash. i always took that into th hospital with me as when they help you wash in bed if they don't rise off fully theres no harm…. this is just me it may not suit everyone xx

My hair's the same!! I used to have greasy hair as a teenager, but since I hit 50 it's awful again. My fringe is the worst! I use different shampoos and changing them hasn't worked for me. I can go to bed with hair perfectly acceptable and wake up the next morning with my fringe plastered to my forehead!!! XX
