In recent years the habit of washing your hair every few days has become more famous than doing it every day. And although this may sound totally contrary to what we are taught from childhood; Yes, there are benefits to doing so. And here we will answer your questions about it.
That's why the famous dry shampoos are part of the collections of almost any beauty brand today. These magical products help to cleanse and absorb the sebum that forms naturally on the scalp for days when washing hair is not an option (or you want to take advantage of that visit to the salon that left you with a spectacular hairstyle).
But let's get back to the point ...
What are the benefits of not washing your hair every day?
Hair softer, silky, strong and shiny. Sold! These are some of the great benefits of keeping hair unwashed for a few days.
How?
When washing the hair, the natural oils produced by our scalp are eliminated, which are not really bad, and help to nourish the hair strands. If we perform this process every day, we are causing the root to dry out and the hair loses its strength, shine and is prone to breakage. That's why, sometimes, long hair suffers from split ends and feels dry; since the natural hair oil does not manage to reach the tips because we wash it before that happens.
It's for everyone?
The truth is that it depends on the type of hair you have. The best candidates who should avoid washing their hair every day are: Chinese hair, dry, with chemical processes, thick or mature people. It would be recommended that these people try to wash their hair every few days -between 2 to 5 days-.
On the other hand, people with hair: thin, very straight, with oily scalp or hair problems such as dandruff; It would be more advisable to wash it often. They could alternate every other day if they do not feel that their hair is allowed without being ultra-greasy (because nobody wants that).
So if I'm not a candidate, will my hair be damaged?
No. Actually, your hair has a faster ability to carry the natural oil to your tips between each wash. We could say that it moisturizes itself in less time.
And if for some reason you feel that you need an extra, capillary masks will always be a great option.
And how do I keep it clean - even when I exercise?
As I mentioned previously, dry shampoos are a great tool to eliminate odors, sebum and even sweat after an exercise. To use it, divide the hair into sections and apply the product directly on the scalp along the head. Wait a few seconds and then give a gentle massage to extend and absorb the shampoo better. Brush the hair to finish, and stylize as you like.
