Baby, today we are talking about the most controversial topic among celebrities: the frequency of hair frequency of hair washing. On the one hand we have our beloved "It Girl", Alexa Chung, who claims to wash her hair every day, while on the other side of the coin is one of the stars of "Big Little Lies", Shailene Woodley, who says she only uses shampoo once a month.
And, my friend, legend has it that the more you wash your hair, the faster it gets dirty, and the less time it lasts clean, but... is this vicious circle real? Let's see!
How often should you wash your hair?
If you think that washing your hair frequently is bad for your mane, or makes it dirty faster, here's a secret: whether your hair produces more or less oil doesn't depend at all on how often you wash it!
Okay, we know you've been shocked, but the truth is that the grease that gradually appears in your hair (apart from being a consequence of environmental pollution, the products you use, and the inevitable habit of constantly touching your hair) has its origin in the sebaceous gland, and this depends on internal factors such as hormonal changes, stress and poor diet, and never on the frequency of washing.
Is it bad to wash your hair too much?
The key is to wash your hair when you need it, that is, when you wear it dirty, and if that means doing it daily (in very fine hair, and/or with greasy roots, athletes, etc.), feel free, baby! Dyed and bleached hair, in general, will need a lower frequency of washing, as the fiber is more damaged, they tend to be much drier and need more nutrition and hydration.
And no, washing your hair doesn't damage it, what does damage the hair fiber is not using the right products, leaving it to air dry knowing the love-hate relationship between your hair and water, and the brushing process..
What can happen if you do not clean your hair with the right frequency, is that sebum, product residues and dirt can accumulate on the scalp, which can clog the hair follicles and dandruff can appear, in addition to further hair loss, and even seborrheic dermatitis, and ... we do not want that, right?
Is any type of shampoo suitable for washing hair?
This question is one of the most repeated by many of you and, if we want to have a great hair, we must be careful with the shampoo we use.
From Goa Organics, we always recommend the use of sulfate-free shampoos as they reduce the appearance of frizz and breakage of ends.
Whatever hair you have, we have a shampoo for you:
In addition, our shampoos are respectful to our scalp and allow the duration of dyes and straightening treatments to be extended. Okay friend, we sum it all up for you:
And you, bestie, how often do you wash your hair?
