Is it unhealthy to NOT wash my hair for 5 days?

I have very coarse and curly, long hair. I like to straighten my hair occasionally (with my new Chi - yay)...however, it takes me 2 hours minimum to get it done good. What sucks is that the second water (rain, perspiration - anything) touches it, it's curly again. Is it unhealthy to NOT wash my hair for a few days?
