I wash and straighten my hair everyday, and most days I blow dry it too and my hair it perfectly healthy. My hair is about 2/3 inches longer then shoulder length and it's very thick, it just depends on what hair type you have
I have thick hair, and I find that washing it every other day is enough, fine hair gets greasy quicker but thick hair doesn't need to be washed every day.
Yeah you guys are right it depends on your hair I have really thick long hair and if I don't wash it Everyday it gets greasy so your best bet is to listen to people with shorter hair I guess they know how to manage it better ...
Steph please wash your dreads its a common misconception that dreads are dirty or supposed to be dirty. Dreads need to be washed to lock, keep nasty oils out of then and be free of dirty and other elements! But as for the main question I go for every other day.

You could wash it as many times as you want .. It's the blow drying and heat that is bad ...

Every other day is the most recommended. It depends on hair type and how much oil you're willing to have.

I have really dry, curly hair. I wash every 2-3 days and use dry shampoo on my roots to minimize oil at the root
