2. The question of how often should you wash your hair has been debated for years. Some people swear by washing their hair everyday while others wash it much less frequently. While there may not be a true right or wrong answer, consulting with a hairdresser will likely give you an idea of what are best practices for the frequency of hair washing. By: Tileahs On Tweed

3. Should You Wash Your Hair Everyday? • Younger generations swear by the fact that they must wash their hair every single day. They think of not washing their hair each day as being unclean which is far from the case. Just because you do not wash your hair every day does not mean that you are a dirty person. Many people do not partake in physical activity each day that warrants the need to wash their hair each day. If you work outside or are constantly doing physical activity it may make sense to wash your hair each day but if you were to ask a popular hairdresser they would likely tell you that you do not necessary need to wash your hair everyday.

4. Your Hair Needs a Break Too! • After a long day at work, you often need to kick your feet up and relax at home. The same can be said for your hair. Washing your hair each day can cause significant stress to your hair which can ultimately damage your hair. Think of your hair as a type of fabric. The more that you wash your clothes and linens, the worse that they look. The same can be said for your hair. If you continue to wash it over and over, it will begin to look much worse. A popular Gold Coast hairdresser would likely tell you to limit your hair washing to at least every other day if at all possible. By: Tileahs On Tweed

5. Skipping a Wash Saves Time and Money! • Any Hairdresser will tell you that skipping washing your hair is an easy way to save yourself significant time and money. The majority of women spend at least 20 minutes each day washing and styling their hair. Think about how much time can be saved by skipping washing your hair every few days. Not to mention the savings in terms of shampoo and conditioner that are not used when you skip a washing. By: Tileahs On Tweed

6. Ultimately the frequency in which you wash your hair is up to you, but after consulting many hairdressers, it is apparent that you may be washing your hair too often. Just because you are not washing your hair every day does not mean that your hair is dirty. In fact, studies have shown that people who wash their hair everyday actually have less healthy hair than those who skip a day between washing. Washing your hair each day strips it of healthy oils which are beneficial to the overall health of your hair. Without these oils your hair can become brittle and eventually break off.
