Daily Hair Washing: Myths, Facts, and Best Practices

A question on many minds: should you wash your hair every day, or does it harm its health? The answer isn’t as simple as it seems. It depends on your scalp type, lifestyle, and even the climate. Why Individual Differences Matter Some people’s hair becomes oily quickly, leaving a greasy shine by evening. Others can go several days without their hair losing freshness. The reason lies in how the sebaceous glands function. "The frequency of washing should always be tailored individually. If the scalp produces a lot of sebum, hair needs more frequent washing. But that doesn’t mean overusing shampoo," note trichologists.
