How Often Should You Wash Your Hair, Really?Eight questions to ask yourself before you shampoo |
How Do You Style Your Hair? Love hair products? Then you also better love shampooing. "Individuals who use a lot of product -- hair spray, gels, et cetera -- may require more frequent shampooing," Fusco confirms. Product build-up can make hair look dull and can irritate the scalp with prolonged exposure, just like oil does.
And if you haven't given much thought to scalp condition, you should, according to Blaisure. "Researchers and scientists who study hair and scalp are realizing the importance of a balanced scalp and how it relates to hair and scalp health," says Blaisure. A healthy scalp produces soft, manageable hair that grows quickly; an unhealthy scalp can lead to unruly hair texture, sluggish hair growth and the aforementioned hair loss.
