How Often Should I Wash My Hair?

I get this question all the time! You’re probably worried you're washing it too much or not enough. The goal is to find a routine that keeps your hair feeling good without stripping it of all its natural oils.

Your Hair Type Is Key

  • Oily hair: If your hair gets greasy a day after you wash it, you might need to wash it more often. Like, every day or every other day. Just make sure you're using a shampoo that's gentle and not too harsh.
  • Dry or damaged hair: For hair that's on the drier side, washing it all the time can make things worse. Try to stick to washing just 2 or 3 times a week. Use a hydrating shampoo to add moisture back in.
  • "Normal" hair: If you’re lucky and your hair isn't super oily or super dry, you can probably wash it every 2 or 3 days. It's a good way to keep your natural oils balanced.

Your Lifestyle Matters, Too

  • Work out a lot?

    If you're sweating a bunch, you might feel like you need to wash your hair more frequently. A good dry shampoo can be a total lifesaver between washes to keep your hair feeling fresh.

  • Your environment

    If you live in a big city with a lot of pollution, your hair might get dirty faster. In that case, washing every few days is probably a good idea.

Honestly, it’s all about listening to what your hair needs. Don’t get hung up on a rigid schedule just find what works for you and your hair will thank you!
