I trimmed a little bit on August 29th, the MM day for beautification. I also applied a conditioner that night (just one that I happened to pick up, I think it was by L'Occitane) and, after my morning exercise, shampooed my hair and rinsed the conditioner out. I think my 2x weekly washing is a good idea this summer, especially because I am exercising 6 mornings a week. I don't get very sweaty - it's light exercise, really; yoga followed by 20 minutes on the treadmill, sometimes 15 mins on the bike, squats, and crunches - and my scalp doesn't seem to sweat, but I don't like to take any chances. Besides, I don't think it is doing me any harm, and the cool hair feels nice in the summer heat. I'm sure that in the freezing London winter (anything is freezing compared to the Dhaka winter!) even washing once a week will make me freeze! I'll have to ask on the Loom for tips on staying warm with wet hair in the winter season.
On a funny note, my 12-year-old cousin was reading an article on WikiHow, and I came across this:
"Hair is your personal trait. Do whatever you want with it...almost whatever. Keep it healthy, be sure to get regular trims, and wash daily. Use hair serum to get those frizzies, and use mousse to get a certain style, and use hairsprays to seal a certain style. If you ever decide to color, or perm or whatever go to the salon. They're professionals they know what they're doing...they'll reccommend some styles, and some health tips for your locks so listen and take notes if possible."

Wash daily! Use hair serum/mouse/hairspray! Haha. I didn't find that to be very good advice, and my cousin didn't either! (Guess I've trained her well!
)
