Is washing your hair daily actually bad for you? The truth is, it depends on your specific scalp type.
Scalp Care Basics
- Oily Scalps: Daily shampooing can be beneficial to prevent itchiness, clogged follicles, and even hair loss.
- Dry Scalps: Washing every day might be too much and lead to further dryness.
- Key Focus: Effective hair cleansing is more about using the right shampoo for your scalp type than just the frequency of washes.
- Common Pitfall: Using overly harsh shampoos can dry out your hair, even if you only wash it twice a week.
If you aren't sure what your scalp needs, the Trichologists at Ottawa Hair Loss Clinic & Wellness can assess your scalp and tailor a treatment just for you.
