We monitor the quality of our skin, nutrition, and the amount of water we drink. However, we often overlook simple steps in our beauty routine that can lead to serious problems. One of these is washing our hair. Yes, it's a bit more complicated than it seems at first glance. We have gathered five signs that you are not washing your hair thoroughly enough.
How often should you wash your hair?
In fact, it depends on several factors. If you have dry skin or thick hair, washing your hair once a week is sufficient, while if you have oily scalp and dandruff, you should wash it twice.
What are the signs of poor hair washing?
Oily roots. If you have oily roots and lack volume, it means that excess sebum is not being washed away.
Dandruff. The scalp produces sebum, which moisturizes and protects the hair. If washing is not thorough, oil and dirt accumulate, leading to dandruff.
Itching. Residues of styling products, dirt, sweat, and dead skin cells can accumulate on the scalp, causing itching.
Hair loss. Excess oil, dead skin cells, and product residues clog hair follicles and hinder hair growth.
Dull hair. Accumulation of dirt on the scalp makes the hair surface less smooth and reflects light poorly, resulting in dull strands.
If you notice these signs, stop using dry shampoo, increase the frequency of washing your hair, and consult a trichologist. They will take individual characteristics into account and prescribe the right treatment plan.
