During the times of the Soviet Union, the myth was spread that the head should be washed no more than once every 7 days. This opinion was based on the fact that most detergents were too aggressive. They dried their hair heavily and eventually spoiled them.
Modern women of fashion have different requirements. They often use lacquers, various foams and mousses for hairstyles that need to be washed off. In addition, many of the hair are prone to fat and lose their attractive appearance the next day after bath procedures.
So how many times do I need to wash my hair? The answer to this question depends on several factors. Let's try to understand this topic in more detail.
Hair prone to dryness and brittleness
Dry hair in humans can be a hereditary factor or acquired. The second option is more concerned with the fair sex. Women tend to abuse lightening dyes, appliances for hot styling and styling tools. All this leads to the fact that the curls rapidly lose collagen and become dehydrated, brittle and lifeless.
Shampoo on this type of hair also does not act in the best way. Foam washes away the remnants of a protective lipid film from curls and hair follicles, and the problem is only exacerbated.
So the owners of "straw" hair contraindicated frequent washing. The frequency of bath procedures - once a week. At the same time, it is necessary to actively use conditioners, moisturizing balsams, regenerating serums and masks.
Water is best used hot. It will boost the production of a natural lipid protective layer.
Drying this type of hair with a hot dryer is not recommended.
Normal
How many times a week do you need to wash your hair if your hair is normal? If the curls have a healthy appearance, shine, do not split and do not immediately become covered with a greasy layer, then they should be cleaned as they are polluted.
How much need to wash my hair? Per week no more than 2-3 times. The duration of each procedure is 5 minutes. Longer lather on the head is not worth keeping. Repeated application of shampoo is rarely justified, as modern detergents do a good job of removing grease and dirt the first time. There are no other recommendations for the care of this type of hair.
The only thing that can be noted is the advice to use nourishing masks and phyto-decoctions for rinsing. They will help preserve the beauty and health of the strands longer.
How many times do I need to wash my hair if hair is prone to oiliness? In fact, experts even find it difficult to answer this question. On the one hand, an excess of sebum on the head leads to clogged pores, dandruff and a good environment for the development of other microorganisms. In addition, the hair itself looks messy and smells bad. On the other hand, frequent washing provokes sebum production, and the problem takes the form of a vicious circle.
Most experts are inclined to the fact that you need to clean hair as needed. And if it is required, then even daily.
Shampoo need to choose a special, for oily hair. It should be marked: "for frequent" or "for daily use." Conditioners and balms used sparingly and only on the hair. Do not apply them on the skin.
Wash your head with barely warm water, after rinsing with cool.
For degreasing before washing, you can apply a herbal alcohol tincture on your head - based on chamomile, calendula or nettle.
It would also be nice to rinse the curls with herbal broth based on chamomile, birch and oak leaf, sage, drying strands and skin.
This is the most problematic hair type. They are dry at the tips, and greasy near the roots. In general, they should be cared for as fat, but with a small addition.
Hair tips before water procedures should be smeared with olive or burdock oil and wait 10-15 minutes. After that you can wash your hair.
After styling products
How many times a day do I need to wash my hair? In fact, a few bath procedures for one day will affect the hair is not the best way.
Daily washing is permissible for curls that are prone to fat. And also for the hair, varnished, foam or mousse. All styling products should be washed off on the same day. Re-building hairstyles on top of the old is unacceptable. This will lead to quick hair loss.
They often quickly lose their appearance and need to be washed every other day. However, experts recommend stretching this interval to three days. This can be achieved if you refuse styling tools and do not use hot-laying devices.
How many times do I need to wash my hair with shampoo, if the hair is long? Long curls less fat, especially if you wear them not loose, and collected in a hair. Need to focus on the type of hair. The recommended interval is two days.
In order to preserve the elasticity and healthy appearance of long curls, they should be washed gently, with gentle massaging movements. The tips can be treated with a balm, as a protective lipid film can protect only the first 30 cm from the roots.
Dry only naturally. Comb in a semi-dry form, untangling the strands, rather than pulling them out. Otherwise you can damage the hair follicles.
How many times does a man need to wash his hair?
Men also want to look tidy. And the frequency of bath procedures for men will also depend on the type of hair. In general, you need to focus on the same time intervals as women. However, it is worth remembering that the representatives of the stronger sex have tougher hair, and subcutaneous fat is produced a little more intensively.
So you need to wash your head as it gets dirty.
How many times does a baby need to wash their hair? It is more dependent on age. Babies wash their hair with shampoo or soap no more than once a week. This is quite enough to wash the fat from the skin and hair. However, children are bathed daily, and at the same time they still water their heads with warm water or decoction of chamomile and calendula.
Children 5-7 years old can have full bath procedures with detergents twice a week.
Children over seven years old wash their heads as they get dirty, but at least twice a week.
Teenagers since puberty usually cleanse their hair more often - daily or every other day. This is due to the fact that through the pores, including those on the head, they release hormones with a specific aroma.
How many times do I need to wash my hair if my hair is gray? The appearance of gray hair is not the best moment in the life of every person. And when the whole head turns white, this is a signal that most of the life’s journey has been covered.
But there are a few positive points. Gray hair is mostly dry. Therefore, they are less fat and need to be washed no more than 2 times a week.
However, gray strands must not forget to feed masks and moisturizing balms.
Painted
How many times do I need to wash my hair if my hair is colored? It should be understood that any dye, including plant-based, dries hair well. Fatty will shine less, normal will become dry, and dry will turn into overdried. In addition, a woman faces the task of preserving color for the longest possible period.
So wash your hair with dyed hair is better not more than twice a week. In this case, be sure to use special shampoos to preserve color. It is best to choose detergents from the same line or the same manufacturer as the paint.
Causes Affecting Hair Pollution
First, let's see why they get dirty.
- Dirt, dust and other environmental factors affect hair pollution. However, this is not the most basic.
- Greater influence is made by fats. They are produced by the sebaceous glands, which are located under the skin to lubricate the hair just to protect the environment, as well as to ensure the smoothness of the curls. If this fat is expelled too much, the hair will look untidy.
- The most common cause of excess fat is metabolic disorders, lack of vitamins and minerals in the body, the abuse of fatty and unhealthy foods, or hormonal failure.
You can often hear the words: “My head is every day, and my hair grows fat even more.” This only confirms the words of dermatologists, which means you can not wash your hair every day, as they are washed off the protective fatty layer, the scales open, strands lose shine, break and whip.
This is not to say that this process is so harmful, it improves blood circulation. But it is better to replace hair washing with a daily massage of the head.
How often do I need to wash my hair
But the opinions of experts on how often to wash my hair diverge.
Some people think that you can't wash your hair every day, others, on the contrary, say that you need to do it every day. Need to understand this issue.
Doctors trichologists say that the frequency of washing the head, in each case depends on the type of hair, as well as properly selected care products.
For a normal hair type, it is natural to keep it clean for two to three days. Therefore, they should not be washed more often than 2 times a week.
Dry strands keep a neat look throughout the week. This means that they should be washed as they are contaminated, that is, at most once a week, since more frequent use of shampoos will wash off the protective film and destroy the structure. In this case, the curls will become even more dry, dull and brittle.
It is believed that greasy hair is the most problematic. After all, the next day they already look greasy. Therefore, owners of this type of hair can wash their hair every day. However, trichologists recommend not to use shampoos for fatty strands, as they have a negative effect on the sebaceous glands. It is better to choose softer means. This applies not only shampoos, but masks and balms.
It is more difficult for those who are owners of a mixed type of hair. In this case, the strands very quickly grow fat, and the tips remain dry. To maintain such a head of hair in a neat form, you need to follow the rules.
- In this case, we can say that washing the head is a necessary necessity. But it is better to use detergents on a soft basis.
- Balm or hair conditioner should be soft. But you can not put it on the ends of the hair, it is better to rub into the roots.
How to use laundry soap with the use of hair
But more recently, some a hundred years ago it was not possible to choose a detergent suitable for the type of hair. Our great-grandmothers treated with soap. It is known to all today.
But how many people know that this soap has a number of advantages? This tool consists only of natural substances, hypoallergenic and anti-inflammatory. However, this does not mean that you need to switch to the washing of the strands with soap. And if you still decide to try this detergent, you need to know some nuances, so as not to harm the hair.
- For washing the head is better to use a soap solution.
- Do not use soap more than once a month.
- Rinse the head after applying the soap with infusions of herbs or water and vinegar. This will restore the hair structure.
- Do not use laundry soap to wash colored strands.
In conclusion, we can say that it is impossible to give a definite answer. Some dermatologists claim that even washing every day is bad. It adversely affects the skin.
