washing your haur daily or every second day

[PartTimeNinja]

I wen to a derm and he told me that it's best to wash your hair every second day instead of every day. He said that by washing every day the hair is stripped from it's natural oils etc.

Here on this forum I've read that people recommend to wash hair every day? Is there a conclusion to this?

I was also wondering something...
All my shampoos tell me to "Repeat".
Is that really necessary? Seems like they just want you to run out faster.

I wash my hair once every 4 days or so. It sounds gross, but I have longer hair and when I shampoo I get super frizz. It looks healthier with some of the natural oils your Doctor mentioned.

Your Dermatolog says right , the best thing is the natural oil of your body.
Try your hair to have natural oils its essential, dont wash your hair for every day.

like every other part of the body, biodiversity will play it's part in the whole hairloss/scalp/hair/oil thing, so some may only need to wash their hair every 5 days whilst others may find two washs a day keeps their head in good shape

sorry drinkrum, you have humbled me.


let me explain it thus (no need for the 'thus' but f*** it)

The original question was essentially trying to determine how often posters here think its best to wash their hair.

My answer is just saying that the biodiversity of the scalp (and indeed all aspects of biological activity) will mean there will always be a broad range of 'correct answers'

we don't smoke grass in London, we steal adrenalin from reasearch hospitals.

[Guest]

just because you got yourself a home don't mean you won't be 'cheesed'

beware.
