Presumably, in real life, many people have the habit of washing their hair every day. Because in our view, whether the hair is clean or not is directly related to the impression of others on themselves.
Especially nowadays, many people are plagued by hair loss, so we pay more and more attention to hair, and we pin our hopes on daily shampooing, hoping that the hair can remain smooth, dark and supple.
I have to say that the hair does need our careful care, because the scalp is also part of the human skin, although it is covered with hair, but the scalp is very fragile. If you do not clean up for a long time, not only will a large amount of dandruff and head oil be generated, but also the grease and adsorbed dirty things may also cause pore blockage, and even become the cause of hair loss.
Therefore, hair and scalp should be cleaned regularly, but this does not mean that everyone needs to wash their hair every day. Frequent shampooing not only does not work well, but may also have the following effects:
1. Allergic dermatitis
Everyone is tired of dandruff, in fact, it is the product of the metabolism of the scalp cuticle, whether it is the oil secreted by the scalp or dandruff, in a healthy situation, it is a product of protecting the scalp. As long as there is too much dandruff not caused by the disease, there is no need to worry too much.
On the contrary, if the scalp is repeatedly cleaned, it will destroy the stratum corneum of the scalp, resulting in an accelerated metabolic rate, more and more dandruff, and even the development of allergic dermatitis;
2, more and more head oil
As mentioned above, the oil secreted by the sebaceous glands plays a role in protecting your scalp and hair, if you clean the scalp frequently every day.
That will cause the scalp to be in a dry environment for a long time, which not only does not have the effect of cleaning the scalp, but will stimulate the sebaceous glands, resulting in oil being secreted again and in large quantities. This is also why, the more frequently you wash your hair, the more greasy your scalp becomes;
3. Hair texture deterioration
During the process of washing the hair, the hair scales will gradually open under the stimulation of hot water, and when the cleaning is over, the hair scales will close again. However, frequent opening and closing of the scales can cause damage to the scales.
Coupled with incorrect ways of washing hair, such as combing hair immediately after washing the hair, washing the hair with hot water, etc., the damage to the hair scales will become more and more serious, and the texture of the hair will become worse and worse, and there will be dry forks, yellow hair and other manifestations.
So the question is, the harm of frequent hair washing is so great, how often to wash your head, is it normal?
In fact, the frequency of shampooing is not fixed in the clinic, which mainly depends on the individual's hair quality, climate and other aspects. If it is in the cold winter, it is recommended that you wash your hair 3-4 times a week.
In the summer, due to the hot temperature and sweating, it is best to wash your hair every two days. However, if your hair is very oily, you can wash your hair every other day even in winter when choosing the right oil-controlling shampoo.
The point that needs to be emphasized here is that there are many shampoos on the market today, and it is recommended that you do not blindly follow the trend.
Instead, you should choose the right shampoo and protection products according to your hair quality and actual needs. During the shampooing process, care should be taken to rinse the shampoo and conditioner completely to avoid residual substances that cause damage to the scales and hair.
