I wash my hair.

Question

Okay so I just go into this debate with my Spanish professor about the correct way to say, "I wash my hair." (My old professor was from Argentina and my new one isn't a native speaker).

My previous Spanish professor taught me, "Me lavo la cabeza."

But my new professor says its either, "Me lavo el pelo," or "Me lavo el cebello."

So, I guess what I'm asking is: Is it acceptable to say, "Me lavo la cabeza," when referring to hair washing?

el cabello; not la cebella - 0074b507, Aug 31, 2010

Answer 1

Me lavo la cabeza is perfect, as well as Me lavo el pelo and Me lavo el cabello. They all refer to the same thing, and they all are used.

Thank you, for a while there, I was begining to doubt myself. - bornconfused, Aug 31, 2010
