How Long Is Too Long? Shampooing Is Essential

Do you know how frequently you should wash your hair? And what could happen if you don't do it often enough? Your hair type and lifestyle can play a significant role in determining how frequently you wash your hair. However, many people fail to shampoo as regularly as they should, raising concerns about the health of their hair.

The primary reason for shampooing is to remove dirt, debris, and excess oil that accumulates on the scalp. When left unattended for too long, the scalp may become oily and flaky and continue to get worse as time passes and products are used. The longer we go without shampooing, the harder it is to remove the residue, and the longer the shampooing process takes. So, while it may seem like jumping in the shower for 5–10 minutes is a waste of time, it could save you a lot more time and effort in the long run.

So, how frequently should you wash your hair? Our recommendation is every 14 days in general. If you have oily hair and scalp or an active lifestyle that involves sweating or if you are more exposed to pollution, it's better to wash your hair frequently, like weekly.
