The trend for several years has been to reduce the number of times you wash your hair, but you should know that this routine cannot be applied to all types of scalp.
Dreaming of washing your hair only once or twice a week? It's all about adaptation, but know that you may not be the perfect candidate for this hair washing schedule.
Here are some tips to help you achieve your ultimate goal:
Healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp. Your hair type and your scalp type are two completely different things. If you tend to have an oily scalp a day or two after washing your hair and you use a moisturizing shampoo for your dry lengths, you're doing it wrong.
Treat your scalp with your shampoo and your lengths with your conditioner and mask.
Spacing out your hair washes means more build-up of styling products, pollution, sebum and dust on the scalp. Exfoliate your scalp once every 2 weeks to remove all residue, especially if you tend to have dry dandruff. To discover our selection of scrubs, click here .
Hot water activates sebum production and accelerates the appearance of the oily scalp sensation. Rinse your hair with lukewarm/cold water to avoid having to wash it too often.
Just like the skin on your face, the more you touch your hair and scalp, the more you activate the oil glands and deposit dirt accumulated on your hands into them.
The trick to gaining one or two more days between your hair washes: a suitable dry shampoo. Dry shampoo is not a miracle solution, you still have to use it sparingly and as close as possible to your next hair wash. To discover our selection of dry shampoo, click here .
Finally, if you're following all of these tips and still can't space out your hair washes as often as you want, you may not be the ideal candidate for this hair routine. Wash your hair when you feel the need, there's no magic formula.
