The Benefits of Washing Your Hair More Often
We know this sounds controversial, but washing your hair more often could actually be beneficial. This is probably the opposite of everything you’ve ever been told (even by us).
But hear us out.
Everyone’s hair care needs are different- but one thing we know for certain is that a healthy scalp equals healthy hair. Keep reading to learn about all of the potential benefits of washing your hair regularly.
1. Scalp Health
Washing your hair can reduce oil and sebum build-up, which can lead to clogged pores and hair loss. Washing can also help prevent dandruff and other scalp issues.
2. Hair Growth
The scalp massage that happens during washing can stimulate hair roots and increase blood flow, which can promote hair growth.
3. Hair Condition
Washing your hair can help reduce hair-related issues like brittle hair and hair loss.
4. Hair Style
Washing your hair can help you achieve certain styles more easily. If you are getting your hair done for a wedding its best to come with it prepped: clean, washed, with a blow dry for best results.
5. Cleanliness
Washing your hair can prevent the growth of lice and fungi, and can help reduce flaking. Here is a refresher on the right way to shampoo.
How often you should wash your hair depends on your hair type:
Fine or thin hair: Wash every other day.
Wavy or curly hair: Wash every 4-5 days depending on the density of your hair.
Coiled hair: Wash once a week.
Drier hair: Wash less often.
The longer you wait to wash, the dirtier it gets which can clog those hair follicles. So use your best judgement and find the routine that works best for you!
