There seems to be a lot of unnecessary mythology about frequency of hair washing. It’s something people feel very strongly about...
“You should only wash your hair once a week”
“Every other day is the right amount of hair washing”
“Too much washing makes your hair dry/greasy…”
“Washing your hair every day is harmful!”
You’ve probably heard all of those statements. But what’s the truth?
Well, we’re going to let you into the super shocking, hairdresser approved secret to hair washing frequency…
You should wash your hair when it’s dirty!
Seriously, if your hair is dirty then you should wash it - it’s as simple as that! There’s no magic formula, no written rules or code of conduct that’s set in stone. We believe in always having clean hair so you should just wash your hair whenever it needs it.
Of course, that will be different for different people, depending on your hair type + lifestyle factors.
Those with dryer hair may feel that they don’t need to wash their hair as much as those who have oily hair + that’s fine.
Similarly, if you go to the gym every day (good for you for getting that mental + physical well-being boost!) + get super sweaty, washing your hair afterwards makes sense for you + your specific circumstances.
Self-care is intrinsically linked to self-expression + personalised experiences so if you only wash your hair once a week + that works for you, great. If you wash your hair every single day - also great.
What’s more important to your hair health is the type of products you use - rather than how much you use them.
