How often you should wash your hair and why.

We can’t really say it enough! Washing your hair daily is important to clean it out of all the impurities of day such as oils and even the things that people add to their hairs. Hair gels, coconut oils and creams, though they may style and moisturize your hair, can lead to greasy build up on your scalp. This greasy buildup is VERY harmful to your hair. Without daily washing it continues to collect and will end up blocking your hair follicles. When clogged hair follicles begin to shrink and eventually become non existent which results in direct hair loss! This can take place on hair of all types and in both men and women. Not only can the chemicals you add to hair not being washed out cause hair loss, but the naturally occurring DHT happens to cause hair loss in a similar by the blockage of your pores.

Who needs to wash the most?

All hair isn’t created equally and though we all need maintain on daily wash, sometimes missing a wash here and there won’t hurt as much for some as it would others. Depending on your hair type, your daily activities, as well as what area you live in. Researchers suggest that those with thin hair, exercise frequently, or live in a humid place need to be far more strict than others when it comes to keep that head of hair shampooed. Often people with an oily scalp think that they have dandruff due to a lack of moisture when in fact it is a buildup that needs a good washing. Another common myth is that African-American men and women don’t need to wash due to the thickness of their hair which is not totally false, but with the rise of avid coconut oil use in the African-American hair community, a daily wash is detrimental especially when going natural with your hair.
