Shampooing our hairisn’t just about washing off the sweat from our last workout.
As all hair rules go, there is no one-size-fits-all approach.

We each have our own individual factors to consider.
I hear friends, clients, and colleagues discuss this lack of frequency with gusto on a regular basis.
However, my fine haired friends remain perplexed.How can anyone go so long without washing?
Despite what’s trending in hair talk, thin hairneedsa more frequent cleanse.
“It is a misconception that frequent washing increases hair loss,” says Blaisure.
For fine and thin hair, Blaisure suggests BosleyProfessional Strength Nourishing Shampoo.
Try pairing with avolumizing conditioner(made specifically for fine strands and never too heavy) for added fullness.
Like we said before, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to hair care.
“With less washing, people often brush the hair less frequently.
All of this combined reduces circulation in the scalp area and growth can slow down.”
You heard it here, Byrdies.
Your scalp needs some TLC, no matter how often you choose to shampoo.
Even if the frequency of shampooing is slim to none, Blaisure warns us not over-use dry shampoos.
“They are not a replacement for wet shampooing,” she says.
“Only shampooing can remove all the build-up, and environmental pollution on the scalp.
The natural sebum your scalp produces can actually be of service to textured strands.
Textured hair is adaptable to a variety of different looks.
“Dry heat can damage the hair,” he says.
“Shampoo at least one or more times a week,” notes Blaisure.
With less frequent suds, your scalp may need an added boost to assist in removing build-up.
Blaisure adds that a scalp scrub can be especially helpful if your scalp becomes dry/flaky or oily.
Both experts agree that a good diet and low-stress lifestyle are huge factors to our hair’s health.
Shampooing with frequencyisimportant after all.
