How often should you wash your hair? It's a question we hear a lot, and the simple answer is this: it depends on your hair type. As with all things hair care, there's no 'one size fits all' rule for every head of hair. However, there are guidelines you can follow to refine an at-home shampooing routine.
So, whether you’re refining your own routine, or you’re a hairdresser advising your clients, here’s everything you need to know about keeping locks clean and conditioned day by day...
HOW OFTEN IS HEALTHIEST TO WASH YOUR HAIR?
As a general rule, we recommend washing hair around two to three times per week. However, this guideline can vary depending on your or your client’s unique hair type, texture and scalp health. Case in point: if you’re working with an oily scalp, it’s okay to reach for the shampoo daily, whereas if the hair or scalp is dry, hair wash day can be stretched out even longer. As long as locks are lathered up frequently enough to remove product build-up and bacteria, it’s all about adapting and adjusting to find what feels right for each individual head of hair.
