Can Daily Washing Damage Your Hair?

Hello, Dr. Rassman

I have a question about washing your hair daily. For us minoxidil users it’s obviously recommended to use the products twice a day on a clean scalp. My question is: Does washing your hair twice a day damage your hair? Of course, the more you mess around with your scalp the more hairs will tend to fall. So, does the constant washing “damage” the follicles and weaken them?

Thank you for all the information in your site and all your help.

If you wash properly and do not rub your fingers vigorously into your scalp, twice a day hair washing will not cause a problem.
