How many times should you wash your hair?

Asked on: 26 Aug 2009

Most people probably wash their hair once a day. However this is due to the success of TV commercials for shampoo companies and so on and articles suggesting this.

In reality, you don't need to wash your hair more than 2 - 3 times a week.

In fact whilst it sounds gory, many people say that the hair will keep itself clean to some extent and that you can go for long periods of time without washing the hair and you don't start to smell or encounter any other nasty problems.

There are people out there who don't wash their hair for periods of several weeks at a time and don't report any feelings of itchiness or smelly hair or build up of dandruff etc, so you might consider taking a break every now and then to see how it feels!
