One of the most bizzare if not idiotic beliefs being propagated, particularly amongst "oldtimers" in the know, is that the scalp's "NATURAL OILS" are good for your hair and scalp so do not wash frequently as they will be cleaned away. I wonder if these same people extend this line of thought and practise to leaving the "NATURAL" excretions our skin produces throughout the rest of the body (how would you like to share a nice long elevator ride with them?). Perhaps even to the extent that one should wash your hands MAYBE once after a long weekend spent working in the garden-what's more natural than dirt? Wake up folks! The "natural oils" are sweat, sebum, oils, salt and accumulated airborne pollutanys and dirt. Generally one should follow the pattern that if the body is expelling something because it is useless or waste, don't keep it around as a momento.
I'm sure we have all felt the pruritus(itch) kick in while unable to wash your hair after an extended period (while camping?). This is your scalp telling you to remove the unwanted waste. Plus, how many out there find the whole oily, greasy and stringy hair look sexy?
Treat your hair and scalp with at LEAST the same attention and respect shown to the rest of your body. IF IT'S DIRTY WASH IT!

While it is true that dirty hands and pits are very ugly (both to the nose and eyes), the person that wrote this obviously doesnt know ANYTHING about hair. First of all, before you go around wagging your tongue like this, you should specify WHAT KIND OF HAIR you are addressing. Some kinds of hair are naturally dryer than others therefore they simply can not be washed as often else they would dry out and break. Most people with dry hair are advised to either wash their hair less frequently, or to cleanse the scalp as often as they like while leaving the actual hair alone. So please, do your research and stop misleading innocent people...gracias!
The comment being made here is that "IF THE HAIR/SCALP IS DIRTY----WASH IT"! If you disagree with this rationale, I can appreciate your opin ion, but I cannot agree with it.
Thanks.
