Here is a list of what people believe in about washing the hair on particular days of the week.

Washing Hair On A Tuesday
Washing hair or even getting a haircut is prohibited on Tuesdays. This condition is strictly followed for those who are affected by Mars (Mangal). So, to avoid the effects of heavy Mangal, people are told not to wash their hair on Tuesdays.

Washing Hair On A Wednesday
It is believed that when a woman who has given birth to a single baby boy should never wash her hair on Wednesdays, as per Hinduism. According to the Puranas, the health of the child is said to get affected. On the contrary side, it is also believed that newly married women should wash their hair on Wednesdays to get a baby boy!

Washing Hair On A Thursday
According to the Puranas, washing your hair on Thursdays is believed to take Goddess Lakshmi away from your home and the person can get into financial troubles as well. Even washing clothes is considered to be inauspicious on Thursdays.

Washing Hair On A Saturday
