So I just did my final wash yesterday, added some leave in and curl activator then ploped overnight. It’s extremely windy today and now my hair is all frizzed😕 how often should I be washing everything out of my hair and start over?

Well, I guess how often would depend on your hair an your inclination. I wash my hair everyday because I can't seem to manage second day hair yet. Many people wash EOD, or 2x/week. Many people wash 1x/week or less. 

But if you want to get your hair back under control and don't want to wash, you could try a refresh technique. Basically wetting your hair with water or a refresh product (or conditioner diluted in water in a spray bottle) then scrunch. Works for a lot of people.

Also, welcome!

Welcome to CurlTalk!  How often do you normally wash  your hair?  You might want to try keeping to your regular cycle to start with.  For me - that's every day, or every other day.  Other people may go a week between washes.  You don't necessarily need to use shampoo every time.  You can alternate shampoo, co-wash, or just water washing.
