We know how you may find ourselves thinking that you need to wash your hair every day because you’ve grown up being taught of the practice. However, washing your hair everyday may cause your hair to break or become dry. So, how many times are you supposed to wash your hair?
Let’s first look at why you need to wash your hair.
Giving your hair a wash is good for growth. It prevents any product build-up that you may have. As much as it is not needed that you wash your hair every day, people with curly hair can benefit from washing their hair because of the amount of oil that their hair produces.
It is important to know your hair type because cleansing it too often could lead to the hair becoming dry. You should also take note that if you wait too long to cleanse it, your scalp may become too dirty which means your hair will not be able to grow at the pace it is meant to.
How often should you wash your hair?
For oily hair, aim to wash every day so that you can prevent product build-up, unless you have long, coarse or curly hair.
If you have fine hair, try to shampoo your hair as often as possible. This will help you with the moisturising of your hair which it needs to grow\
Wavy or curly hair, aim to shampoo every four to five days.
Coily hair should be washed once per week. Whereas, for dry or damaged hair, you should wash every 5 to 7 days.
For people with thick hair, wash once per week because your hair can hold onto a lot of moisture .
