Depends on your type of hair - look for shampoo with that type of hair. Moreover, the type and length of hair also determines how much times you should shampoo you hair each week.

For example I have long hair that can get oily if I don’t shower - so I wash my hair everyday, shampooed twice to get rid of any dirt I missed in the first place.

shampooing too much is bad but only doing it once a week can be bad too - depends what hair type you have and if u want healthy or longer hair

hi I'm a man with not too long hair. My hair seems straight. I do get a little oily after about 2-3 days since I last shampoo

Shampooing helps remove excess oil, debris, and leftover products from the scalp. Shampooing twice can also help with oil as you're just ensuring that most of the dirt comes off. I think washing ur hair every 3 days is normal tho
