Is it good to wash your hair frequently

Many women take great care of their hair. So in order to keep the hair clean, I wash my hair every day. But some friends may have a question: Is it good to wash your hair frequently? In fact, experts tell us that if we wash our hair frequently, it is not good for our scalp. However, some friends have some misunderstandings about washing their hair. Let’s learn about it today.

---Misunderstanding 1---

Many people believe that washing your hair every day can lead to hair loss, but this is not actually the case. Generally speaking, the total number of human hairs is more than 100,000. A normal person loses between 50 and 100 hairs a day, and at the same time a corresponding number of new hairs are lost, keeping the total amount of hair basically unchanged.

Therefore, washing your hair every day will not cause your hair to fall out. The hair that falls out when you wash your hair is just the hair that is about to fall out leaving your scalp.

---Misunderstanding 2---

Some people worry that washing their hair every day will cause more dandruff, but this kind of worry is impossible.

Dandruff is mainly composed of three components: shed scalp keratinocytes, cortex, and microorganisms. However, normal shampooing does not lead to excessive growth of scalp keratinocytes, excessive sebum secretion, or bacterial reproduction.

If you find that washing your hair frequently causes more dandruff, or even symptoms such as itchy scalp and erythema, then you should be careful. This may not be caused by excessive dandruff, but by some disease of the skin on your head. At this time, you need to see a dermatologist for treatment immediately.

Some people believe that washing your hair every day will make it drier and drier, which is even more impossible. If children wash their hair every day, will their hair become dry?

Your hair is dry mostly because it is frequently blown, pulled and dyed. If it is purely natural hair, how could it become dry? Other children's hair is black, shiny, smooth and easy to comb.

The frequency of hair washing varies from person to person.

Everyone's skin is different, so the number of times you need to wash your hair is also different.

�Dry skin If you have dry skin, it is recommended to wash your hair every one or two days and use a mild moisturizing shampoo.

Because people with dry skin have insufficient skin secretion, if they wash their hair too frequently or use a shampoo with too strong an alkaline soap base, the sebum film may be washed away, causing increased dandruff and dry hair.

Oily skin

If you have oily skin and oily hair, your hair tends to be greasy and look very "shiny", and your scalp is itchy. It is recommended that you wash your hair once a day. Since sebum secretion is abundant, it is harmless to wash more frequently.
