Exactly. I have an oily scalp, I used to wash my hair every 2 days. But now I have bangs and I wash it every other day.

I washed my hair everyday for years and it was always healthy. I would even get compliments all the time. Then this trend came up of not washing for days, and I would actually get dandruff crusts on my scalp with severe itching. My hair is fine and gets oily in one day, and I workout often.

You don't wash your face once a week, or every few days, so how does everyday hurt your scalp when you're oily?

I don’t think our 4c hair is our true curl pattern. Medical research says all hair should be washed daily and its texture is determined by washing frequency. I washed my 4c hair everyday for 30 days. My texture, curl pattern and growth rate has changed drastically.

I have medium thick hair. I've ALWAYS washed it every day. I let it air dry for an hour or so and then take a blow dryer to the roots with my head upside down, low heat and only for 1 minute or 2. Works for me! It's so funny how we feel embarrassed to wash daily!

I have thick wavy hair and oily scalp. My hair is also dyed (root retouch every 3 weeks) and I wash it every morning, dry and style it up to 10-15 minutes. I cut my hair really short with buzzed back and sides, and my time was 6 minutes so I grew it back again. It doesn't matter how long it is, but thickness and curlyness is what makes up the time needed to dry and style.

But now I’m back to washing my hair when I go out and maybe skipping a day once in a while and my hair looks better than it has in years. I haven’t grown more hair but the hair I do have looks strong and healthy. I think my issue is more digestive though.

Thank you so much for your most informative and unagitated and well thought through video. Frequency of shampooing has become a question of faith in some publications and discussions. I think you have made the decisive point as a real expert: frequency of shampooing is depending on state of hair and scalp. I hate any touch of greasy hair. I do simply feel more comfortable in my skin if I have shampooed my hair daily on occasion of the shower in the morning. I have been used to daily shampooing for many years and as you have mentioned too I have made best experiences with a special shampoo bought at the salon even if it is more expensive than usual drugstore shampoo.

The video that I was looking for! My hair gets oily easily. I can wash my hair on Monday and Wednesday morning my hair will be a oily, and I hate that look. I've tried washing it once a week to "train my hair to not produce oil" and it did not work, even more if I'm working out almost everyday. It looked so bad. I tried dry shampoo and it leaves white talc particles that look like dandruff. I also wanted to try cowashing but I heard that can cause buildup in your scalp... At this point, I'm just going to try and wash my hair everyday. But I have some questions, my hair has a keratin treatment in it (my natural hair is very curly), will this affect how my keratin straightener treatment looks? Will it fade away faster? And also, if I start washing my hair everyday... Should I use a nourishing shampoo or should I keep using shampoos for oily scalp? (they are usually more "harsh" and I'm not sure if using that everyday would ruin my hair). Thank you so much. ❤️

My dermatologist insists that the whole "drug store haircare is bad for you" thing is a myth, and I 100% agree. Like anything else, taking time to read the ingredients and avoiding the obviously harmful ones can lead to some amazing (and affordable) finds. The problem with the "you MUST buy a $60 set of shampoo and conditioner" advice is that people just can't afford to do that. More than half the country lives paycheck to paycheck, and shampoo and conditioner isn't something that people can just dump a ton of money into. If you take the time to compare ingredients, the drugstore brands and salon brands contain pretty much the same things listed in the same order within the ingredient deck. I have been washing my hair every single day with Suave's new rose oil-infused volumizing shampoo and conditioner set for a few months now. It was less than $7 for both HUGE bottles at Walmart. My results have been in-cred-i-ble. I am thoroughly impressed with it. My hair is not damaged. My hair is not stripped. My hair is actually healthy and voluminous - something I'm certainly not used to. If you prefer salon products, that's fantastic and I'm happy that you love them and can afford them. I just don't agree with telling people that drug store shampoo and conditioner is the enemy. It isn't. Like any other beauty product, watch out for the things that can really cause issues. For fine hair, I avoid parabens and silicones and I've had amazing results.
