How Often Should I Wash My Hair

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I WASH MY HAIR?

For such a simple task that you’ve been doing since you were a teenager, washing your hair can be confusing. You may have heard from someone that washing your hair less frequently is better for your hair.  And you may have heard of a movement called “no poo” that suggests you ditch shampoo forever. The shampoo struggle is real, so we teamed up with a crew of hair care experts to get to the bottom of the most simple question: how often should I wash my hair?

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I WASH MY HAIR?

Like all of life’s questions, the answer is: it depends. Experts say there’s no single answer to how often people should wash their hair. It usually comes down to personal preference and how active you are. While some people are able to go a week without washing their hair, others prefer to wash more frequently.

That said, experts agree that only a small group of people should wash their hair daily. If you have very fine hair, exercise frequently, or live in a humid place, you may consider washing your hair daily. Otherwise, we recommend you wash your hair at least twice a week with Routine Shampoo & Conditioner, but ideally three times.
