I havent washed DDs hair...ever...never used shampoo on her hair. She has fine blonde VERY curly hair. She showers with me most mornings and baths every night, i rinse her hair really well and then put some spray conditioner in and brush it when we get out otherwise it forms into one big dred lock!! I guess as she gets older it might need a shampoo but at the moment it never looks oily.
DS goes a couple of months between proper washes, but it gets a straight water wash every couple of nights in the bath/shower. It never looks greasy so I don't bother with the trauma of shampoo.
I rinse DD's hair with water every night. I think I have washed her hair with shampoo 3-4 times in her 15 months, if she has rubbed something in there that won't come out with water.
We have to wash DD1 hair daily, only because it's really thick & gets very knotty by the end of the day.
We wash DD2 hair once a fortnight, she has really fine hair & could go a month without washing it & it would still look good.
I wash both kids hair after swimming on a Friday and DD11 occasionally has another hair wash in between. When they're not doing swimming I would probably only put shampoo in DS's hair once a fortnight if that, but still wash DD1 hair a couple of times a week as she has really thick hair nad it helps with the tangles.
