How Often Should Natural Hair Be Washed?

I have gone three weeks without a shampoo and know people who have gone longer!

Once a month between shampoos is perfectly acceptable. The scalp produces its own healthy oils which shampooing gets rid of. Giving the hair ample rest between shampoos will give the scalp and hair a chance to take advantage of those natural oils.
