How Often Should I Be Washing My Hair?
Dear Dr. Rassman,
I just would like to know if it is better to wash my hair every day or not so much – e.g. twice a week. Skin on my head seems to produce lot of sebum (hope it is the right word), so I think it is better to wash it more often but I read some articles stating it is quite unhealthy.
So I would like to know your skilled opinion.
Regards
When your scalp makes a great deal of sebum, the oily feel and appearance of the scalp can be managed with daily hair washes using a shampoo made for oily hair. I wash my hair daily.
My hair is oily also. I experience that shampooing it too often (like everyday) fastens it to get oily again. I think you should find the right balance like every other day or once in 3 days by testing.
