Washing Hair

If you wash your hair every day, you  might be overdoing it...

Washing our hair every day is a relatively new trend. In the 1950s, women had their hair washed and styled about once a week. That was a lot compared to the turn of the century when once a month was more the norm. Our hair follicles work non-stop to secrete sebum, the natural oils that waterproof and moisturize our skin and hair. We go to a lot of trouble to wash that off and replace it with other products.

How often we wash our hair is really a personal choice and depends on hair type and other factors. If it gets oily, dirty or if you’ve been swimming or using products – you’ll need shampoo. Otherwise, consider skipping the shampoo once in a while - especially if your hair is coarse or color treated.
