To Wash Every Day or Not
Upping the frequency of your hair wash days may seem like the logical answer to getting fresh hair, but daily hair washing can amplify and unbalance the all-important sebum cycle that can lead to unwanted scalp odor if you’re using non adapted products. Yes, it actually makes your scalp less fresh And this, in turn, drains moisture from your strands making hair drier than ever.
So, you end up in a cycle of an always oily scalp and dry mid-lengths and ends. The answer is to wash with the right products especially adapted and formulated to support hair freshness.
