As tempting as it is to wash your hair each morning, it may not be the best thing to do. Most people think healthy hair translates to well-washed, squeaky clean looking hair, but is this true? Over-washing your hair can lead to dryness and breakage, something you don’t want or may already be struggling with. Below are some signs that you are shampooing too frequently.
1. Your hair is looking flat
Is your hair looking lifeless? Over shampooing may be to blame. To achieve a healthy, full-looking head of hair, there needs to be a balance of moisture between your hair and scalp.
2. Your hair is frizzy
A change in your hair’s texture may be a result of shampooing too frequently. The better your hair is moisturized, the more manageable and softer it will be. A simple solution to frizzy hair is Keranique Marula Oil Hair Mist. The mist is enriched with luxurious African oils that instantly adds moisture & shine, smooths away frizz & flyaways, and rejuvenates dry hair.
3. You notice flakes on your scalp
If you are over-washing your hair, you may begin to notice flakes on your scalp. Harsh shampoos can dry out your scalp and strip it of natural oils that your scalp emits to help nourish hair.
The frequency of washing your hair depends on your hair type. For those with thin hair, you may need to wash it every other day. If you have thicker hair, you may be able to wash it every three or four days. There is no concrete answer to how often you should be washing your hair, but in most cases, it’s not every day.
