Answer

Washing your hair everyday may dry it out, depending on how oily it normally is. I usually will wash it 4 days a week, and that works for me. Depending on how your hair is, that may or may not work for you. If you do wash your hair everyday, you may want to using a moisturizing shampoo. So to answer your question, it might be good (or at least not bad for it) to go a day without washing it. That way the oils can get to the longer hairs, which will help with split ends.
