Is Washing Your Hair Everyday Bad For You?

I have oily scalp, thin hair and I’m prone to dandruff! Learned through my dermatologist, who specializes in hair, that I have to wash it everyday to keep it healthy!

It depends on your hair type. For me, I can't wash my hair every day. It would ruin it, and it starts falling out, but as long as it's working for you! Just know not to give advice on hair unless you're a professional because you dont know their hair type like they do :)

Edit: I have some things to say before you go and comment

1. No rude behavior please it's not nice

2. Your hair is dead the second it comes out of your head it doesn't die outside of your head otherwise your hair wouldn't grow from the scalp

3. This is seen in black, mixed, ethnic, or just dry hair types, so no, it's not unusual or unnatural. You just were born with less dry hair

4. How would I know? I have 4c coils and have gotten my hair professionally looked at by people who studied on curls. I know friends who don't even have curls that wash just as much as I do

5. JUST DO RESEARCH, research what would be GOOD for your hair

Don’t follow every single rule in the hair/ curly hair community. Do what works for you 💕

Edit: what I meant for this comment to be was if something doesn’t work for you and works for somebody else you don’t have to do it. It’s fine if you wash your hair every day or every four months, the only thing that matters is what works for you. If you find anything else works better, great! You don’t have to argue with people in the comments saying that washing your hair every day bad for you. If it works for her, great! But if it doesn’t work for you, and you find another thing that works, great!

You are the first person i saw on youtube saying that and finally i can relate. My scalp gets so oily in one day i cannot skip a day. My hair look so dirty if i not wash them everyday.

I live in a very hot climate so I wash my hair everyday too, because it feels really greasy and my hair is still excellent

[ashleyearls]

I just want to clarify for anyone reading. I'm a cosmetologist and I just want to let people know everyones wash routine and frequency time is going to differ based upon multiple factors, from density of the hair, to the porosity, hair texture and type, if the hair is color treated (demi or permanent), chemically treated or virgin, oily or dry, you also need to take in account the amount styling products used in the hair and how often. All of this will vary for each and every person. some peoples hair thrives not being washed everyday, while other people's hair does better after being washed everyday.

I think the lesson here is so what feels right for you. Everyone has different hair and react differently to washing.

Mine own hair growth progress and success, I myself adhered to this routine:
Take morning sunlight every day for vitamin D. Eat veggies of different colours. Using paraben and fragrance free hair shampoo and massaging twice a week with hair oil from litttleextra's cooconion. Imp. to remember that hair growth is affected by overall well-being as well as circulation and diet.

Some of yall wouldn't understand how it feels to live in a hot and humid place, you need to wash everyday.

I used to wash my hair everyday and had long thick beautiful hair and I started following other people routines of not washing for days and it ruined my hair

[diedrichfilms]

Damn… guess styling your hair really does make all the difference

[lifeassaraa]

Same! I tried the whole hair training and it WASNT for me. I felt ugly because I felt dirty. When I feel clean, I feel confident and pretty. It smelled. I’m a white girl with blonde hair. It can’t be looking greasy.😑

finally someone said it!ive been told not to wash my hair every day but my hair has been so much healthier

[snakabuz]

100%. I got shamed by so many hairdressers I stopped doing mine daily. Took a full on year to recover from the scalp problems.

[Audree_SnowcX]

Well ladies and gentlemen… it clearly just depends on your hair 🤷🏾‍♀️ who knew

[isabellaharrison]

My hair gets legit SO greasy if I don’t wash it EVERYDAY. I feel you girl 💀😭

[ZoeGibson]

People always tell me that you can’t wash your hair every day because then it “strips your natural oils” and I went a year trying to “train” it when only washing it every other day it would look very greasy, so I went back to washing it every day this last month and my hair looks better. It honestly depends on your hair type, I have wavy hair and that’s what works for me.

[rachelflower]

I love clean hair and wash my hair every day too! I don't feel clean unless my hair is washed. So that's what I do! I say do what works for you.

Everyone hair is different. I’m glad you found out what was good for your hair

as long as you are conditioning enough and it’s not drying out your scalp there’s really no problem with washing your hair every day. - a licensed hairdresser
