How often you need to wash your hair: the expert announced 4 rules for washing your hair

Everyone's hair and skin type is different, so one person's hair can become oily much faster than another's. However, too frequent washing of the head can lead to dehydration, brittleness and limitation of hair growth. So, what's the best part? Can you wash your hair every other day? Abbas Kanani, Pharmacist at Chemist Click for Mira Showers, tells you everything you need to know about washing your hair.

As a rule, women tend to wash their hair less often than men, because long hair is more difficult to wash than short hair. According to pharmacist Kanani, how often you wash your hair depends on what shampoo you use, your hair type and how much oil your scalp produces.

You should also consider how hard your water is because washing your hair regularly in hard water can lead to an itchy scalp.

Most people say they can go two or three days without washing their hair… but is that right? Here are four rules for washing your hair.

What type are you?

Women can wash their hair every one to two days if they have an oily scalp. People with fine or straight hair also need to wash their hair every day or every other day because these hair types lack texture and oil easily coats the hair strands. Otherwise, washing your hair every two to three days is fine, according to Mr. Kanani.

Wash as often as you need

Men have additional concerns when it comes to comes to shampooing, as many people believe that excessive washing can lead to premature hair loss.

However, Kanani said:

“Frequent shampooing is unlikely to lead to baldness. Two to four times a week is recommended for men, however, if you use hair products, this can clog pores and reduce sebum production. A lack of oil can dry out and damage your hair.”

If your hair gets greasy after a day, wash it. If this does not happen, you can stretch the days of washing your hair to a greater distance.
