Washing your hair is a key step in your hair care regimen, but do we always do it right? Too little or too much washing can negatively affect the health and appearance of your hair.

For each person, this shampooing routine is individualized: some people only wash once a week, while others have to do it every day. However, which of these options is actually the best? The UAportal team has found the answer to this question.

How often should you wash your hair

The wrong way of washing your hair can not only worsen the appearance of your hair, but also harm the health of your scalp. Therefore, you need to take this process seriously. However, you can rely on certain external signs to correctly determine when you need to wash your hair.

The sebaceous glands on the scalp secrete a secretion known as sebum, which protects the skin from drying out and breaking. But if sebum builds up too much, it can become a breeding ground for microorganisms. It's important to be mindful and wash your hair on time.

While the frequency of shampooing can depend on many factors, such as age, genetics, and health, external factors such as dust and dirt also play an important role. Therefore, determining the optimal frequency of shampooing is an individual task, depending on the type and structure of your hair.

Some people may need to cleanse their hair daily due to their skin type and hair structure. However, if you have thick, dense, or curly hair, washing it daily will not do you any good, but will only make your hair dry and brittle.
