How Often Should You Wash Your Hair?

If you have dry hair types, you should shampoo a maximum of two times a week, while oily hair types may require washing on a daily basis. If you have normal hair and don't suffer from dryness or oiliness, you have the luxury of washing your hair whenever you feel like you need to.

A common misconception about hair care is that you need to shampoo every day. When you get your hair wet, you’re telling your scalp that it’s dry and it needs to produce more oil, leaving you with greasy hair.

Here are some oh-so-practical tips on how to extend the time in between washes and flourish your hair’s natural beauty and vibrancy.

Tip 1: Extend the time between washings by a few days.
Embrace your natural oils and start to train your hair to only be shampooed at most, every other day. Sure, it’s a little scary at first, but we know you’ve got this! Your hair will totally thank you for it. The best way to slow down the hair-washing pace is to start a little at a time.

Just skip a day in between washing your hair for a while. Transitioning your hair care routine from daily to every other day can have a huge impact on your hair’s strength and luster.

Tip 2: " Use an organic dry shampoo (powder-based) to clean hair and reduce oils in between washings.
So now that you’re all-in for transitioning away from daily hair-washing, you might need a little help getting that oil under control. This gently-automatic powder dry shampoo slays greasy oils like nobody’s business!

Tip 3: Use a boar bristle brush to distribute natural oils throughout your hair
One of the best ways to increase the amount of time between hair washes is by using a Bristle Brush. The bristle brush hair uniquely grabs the oils from your scalp and evenly distributes them throughout your hair. This means you’re getting more out of your hair’s natural conditioning mechanisms and you don’t even have to leave your bedroom.

Tip 4: Brush your hair from the back of your head upward by flipping your hair over and starting at the base of your neck.
Grab your Bristle Brush and flip your hair upside down. Start brushing from the root to the end of your hair, paying special attention to the nape of your neck. This distributes your natural oils and keeps them from building up around your part.
