How often should I wash my 4C hair?

I have 4C hair and I’m never quite sure how often I should be washing it? I don’t want to dry it out, but I also don’t want buildup from products and oils. Some people say once a week, others say once a month. What’s the best balance?

    Hiya, with 4c hair it's essential you don't over wash. I wash my 4C hair every 1–2 weeks to help retain natural oils. In between, you can co-wash to keep your hair moisturised.
