How often do you wash your head, conditioner

[crossing]

Hello,

I sow some well known youtube guy -HairExperience- saying that on the daily shower he also rinse his hair system with clean water, no shampoo , and that every morning he uses spray conditioner (with UV protection) and only washes his hair system with shampoo every 3-6 days. Its not to excessive to rinse the hair system every day ? How about daily spray conditioner ? Isn't too abusive ? I have a french lace and I need to to last as many months as possible, I was planning to wash it every 6 days, the guy from the mentioned youtube channel is using poly hair system which last for 3-5 week (based on his statement), Im not sure if doesn't give a damn about his piece but I need my french lace to last several months ! Some guys having short hair system can last for 1 year !

I shampoo my piece once a week (off my head), rinse it just with warm shower water (on my head) 4 or 5 times a week, and use a leave-in conditioner any day I am going to be outdoors (which is the majority of days). I get about 5 months out of my units. I don't think rinsing with warm water alone causes any deterioration provided you are not rough when you dry it afterwards.

Your rebounding every week? Remind me which adhesive you use?

Once a week

I wash the hair on average once a week. I don't rinse it in between. Also many times I don't even use shampoo (on the system) - I just let water run through and then I use conditioner and wash that out.

As with Noah, I also get around 5 months from a system.

Thanks guys, how about leave-in conditioner, beside Noah do you all use daily leave-in conditioner ? When do you know the system needs to be changed , lack of density due to lost hair ?

What leave-in conditioner do you use ? I keep see people mentioning all the time Schwarzkopf BC Bonacure Sun Protect and Revlon Equave with UV, are they the best for hair systems ? Other people like Jalal managed to make their unit last 1,3 years and counting without any UV protection leave-in conditioner but only regular conditioner used every 5 days. When I thought that I found how to keep my unit last for a year with daily UV protection leave-in conditioner, 5 times a week rinse with water, every 5 days wash it with OGX Argan oil of Morocco shampoo , every 10 days reattach -, then I found posts like this one where it says that he barely uses leave-in conditioner... . Will the daily use of UV protection leave-in conditioner (or regular without UV protection) reduce the hair system life ?

This is the stuff I use. For me, it's basically just a way of getting high factor sunscreen onto the hair in a way that doesn't make the hair heavy and greasy looking. If I was just concerned to keep the hair supple and conditioned, I would use argan oil.

I think the 3 biggest causes of deterioration in your system, in order of importance, are (a) sun-damage; (b) over-frequent washing with shampoo; and (c) pulling the piece off without fully releasing the adhesive bond. So I think a good sunscreen very much improves the longevity of the system.

(c) pulling the piece off without fully releasing the adhesive bond

What happens then?

You pull the hairs out, or you pull them through the lace to the underside, where they are useless.
