Yes you can. The scalp is designed so that the hair is naturally covered with the body's natural oils. When over washing, the hair becomes weakened and starts to break.
Most people gain the habit of over washing when teens. The explosion of natural oils caused by hormones happens about that time, so excess oil is usually the excuse for over washing. The body is trying desperately to balance itself after the teen years, so excess oil is usually the body's way of trying to fix what you are doing to your hair.
If the goal is to have shiny hair, then obviously removing the natural oils have the opposite effect. Conditioners and other treatments are simply substitutes for what the body does naturally.
To break the habit, only wash the hair every other day. After a couple of weeks, extend the time to three days. Depending on the hair length, three days to one week is healthy and normal and the hair will return to it's normal lustrous sheen and health.

How often should you wash your 12 year old daughters hair?
Every other day. 2-3 times a week. The longer you go without washing her hair, the better. You want the natural oils from the scalp to get to the tip of her hair, that's why they say brushing hair a hundred strokes makes it shiner. It gets the oils to the tips. If you wash her hair too much, you wash the oils away and she will eventually end up with dry/frizzy hair. If you don't wash your hair for too long, it becomes greasy.
