HOW OFTEN SHOULD I REALLY SHAMPOO MY HAIR?

As a professional hair stylist, the most frequent asked question is “How often should I wash my hair?”

The right answer is…that there really is not a right answer. The average person can go between 2-3 days, depending on lifestyle. A person with a dryer scalp & dehydrated hair may be able to go longer, whereas a person with higher oil production will have to shampoo more frequently. 

If your hair is visibly oily or limp, a more regular time frame may work best for you. Using products such Aveda’s Dry Shampoo or Rinseless Foam Reset will extend your in between days and give you volume on your next day hair.

Shampooing daily may strip natural oils and in turn, create more oil. Remember that the scalp is skin. Also, the scalp has pores. The process of shampooing isn’t necessarily damaging however, the hair is weakest when wet. Any kind of manipulation (pulling, combing, etc.) will add stress to your hair.

My advice is to use a professional shampoo that gently cleanses the scalp and hair. In addition, find products to use in between shampoos. And to answer the popular question above, find a shampoo schedule that fits YOUR lifestyle best!
