    DS2 hates it, and screams so usually like once a fortnight generally, as well as any other time if he gets food or other stuff in it. When it's short, like now, it might be even longer between washes. It all depends really. I really dread washing his curly locks though.

    Couple of times a week, depending on sweat, dirt & food. I always wash their hair on Saturday after swimming lessons 'caus I'd hate for their blonde locks to go green!

    Every day! DS rubs food in hair at nearly every meal so I have to. But I rarely use shampoo (I've used it twice since he was born). I just use water & a cloth. Now he's starting to push me away and say "owww" when I try though. Time for a haircut, I think

    DS only sometimes gets food in his hair, and if he gets it wet it comes out without any trouble anyway. Maybe he's just not a very grubby kid (yet!) I really couldn't tell you how long it's been since DS has had his hair washes, cause DH is the one who was giving him baths. I wouldn't be surprised if it's been a month though . Mmm, maybe I should wash his hair tonight .

    Actually, now DS's head is shaved, I don't bother. My girls go to school & have long hair. DD2 is bad for food in her hair!
    The last time I washed DS's it was long & it was only cond for the knots...
