How often would you recommend washing your hair?
This can depend upon differing factors like your hair throw in and your lifestyle.
For instance, your hair texture can impacthow oily your scalp is, explains Anabel.
If you have medium-textured hair, take a stab at shampoo daily to every other day, says Anabel.
And ideally coarse and curly hair textures should leave no more than three days between shampoos, she says.
Lifestyle factors can play a part too.
No more white flakes.
What are the problems that can arise with over-washing hair?
Likewise, avoiding oily, fatty, or sugary foods can also have an impact, she notes.
If shampooing regularly makes your hair feel dry, you are simply using the wrong shampoo.
You cant really wash your hair too frequentlyalthough I wouldnt recommend more than once daily, says Anabel.
How can you tell if youre over-washing your hair?
Your scalp is a living tissue: It sweats, produces oils, and sheds skin cells.
In fact, not washing your hair regularly can cause far greater issues than washing it very frequently.
Every hair follicle on your head has an oil gland that produces sebum, Anabel says.
It is a common misconception that dandruff is due to adry scalp.
So there you have it.
