So i'm on the regenepure rotation (DR, NT, conditioner) but I was just wondering if it's best to wash hair every day or every other day? I know some of you guys here have done some good research, and I was hoping someone could provide me with an answer that is backed up by some solid science, etc.

2 to 3 times a week is optimal
that being said, it depends on your hair type and your schedule
for example, if you have oily hair 2 times a week is not enough (at least from my personal experience)
if you go to the beach often, you're not gonna leave the salt water in your hair for 3 days
not much "solid science" here .. thats just how i see it

Thank you...so it seems like if it ain't oily, you don't have to wash it.

Less is better but everyone is different.

If you wash everyday try to get it down to 4-5 days a week.

Could probably compare overwashing to bleaching and stripping.

If it's not oily, 2 times a week is quite enough. I go 2 days between washing mine, but If my hair wasn't oily i'd do it twice a week at most. Also, washing it with shampoo/conditioner and simply getting it wet in the shower are different things, shampoos remove the good oils in your hair, that's why shampooing too often is bad.
