I like to go one week with braids, and on the eighth day take it down, wash it, condition it. Then every two days wash it and condition it.

Riff Raff

But it is at home and not in public that one should wash ones dirty linen. [Fr., Car c'est en famille, ce n'est pas en public, qu'un lave son linge sale.]

Mitch Hedberg
