HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU WASH YOUR HAIR?
Did you know that the key to growing strong and beautiful hair is finding your ideal washing frequency? This way, you will keep your scalp healthy.
Have you ever heard the myth that the less you wash your hair, the better? In fact, experts insist that the time between washes varies depending on the amount of oil that our scalp gives off.
First we must consider which product is the most suitable. We must choose a shampoo that best suits our scalp, hair type and hair condition. These 3 categories tell us the line of treatment that best suits each hair.
HOW THE SHAMPOO WORKS
Shampoo traps oils, so doing it too often can dry out your hair and leave it prone to breakage. Hair produces a natural oil called sebum. And shampoo is an emulsifier that captures and traps excess oil, dirt, and product residue, which is then rinsed away to clean hair.
You will definitely want some essential oils to remain in your hair. Why? They provide moisture and a protective barrier for skin and hair. And, in addition, they favor hair growth!
HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU CLEAN YOUR HAIR?
In general, you should wash it no more than two to three times a week. But as we have already said, you should observe what the scalp is like to know if more or less will be needed. What are the signs? If your hair is visibly oily, your scalp is itchy or flaking from dirt… Those are signs it’s time to shampoo!
HOW SHOULD WE WASH OUR HAIR
Actually, how often you wash your hair won’t matter if you actually wash it poorly. Sometimes, due to the rush we have on a daily basis, we wash our hair in less than two minutes. In fact, it should take us 7-10 minutes to get it right.
How do you do a good hair wash? While you’re applying the shampoo, spend a good amount of time massaging your scalp. The front, sides, neck… You will do a perfect job using your fingertips. You can clean the length of the hair with the remains of the shampoo that slide, it is not necessary to apply product again.
And rinse well! When you notice that your hands glide less easily through your hair, it’s an indication that there’s no more shampoo in your hair. Then you can apply the hair mask if needed, and the conditioner.
By the way, at Termix we advise you to always try to finish washing with cold water to seal the hair cuticle. This way you will have hair with more shine and less frizz!
