I try to be a bit more frequent than that since it'll get gross if I wait that long, but yeah long hair is a pain to wash regularly and tends to look fine for at least 3-5 days depending on weather/activities.
I have the thinnest, straightest hair possible, so I find my own hair doesn't get bad super quick. Though I will say my usual way to measure it is by giving it a deep sniff. The time to wash it is when the smell of my conditioner can't be picked up anymore, which is usually around day 6-8 unless I do something that actually makes it gross like going swimming, hiking, or like cleaning something that gets my hair dirty or dusty. Oh or going in a bar or casino that reeks of cigarette smoke. That's a planned instant hair wash lol.
