Is it okay if you wash your hair with shampoo everyday?

Or is this a weird question to ask because its obvious everyone washes their hair everyday?Is it okay if you wash your hair with shampoo everyday?
No. Unless you have the oiliest hair in the world and use an 'everyday' shampoo, over washing your hair will cause your scalp to become dry and flaky. it can cause dandruff and leave your hair frizzy or damaged. hair experts recommend only washing your hair every two or three days, or a couple of times a week. obviously this can vary depending on the head. but that is best.





the more important thing is not how many times you wash your hair, but HOW you wash your hair.





1) wet all your hair first with warm water (too hot or too cold water is not good for your scalp or hair either, btw.)





2) take a small amount of shampoo in your wet hands, rub and lather into your the roots of your hair only.





3) rinse thoroughly and repeat, (the first shampoo lifts the dirt, the second removes it) unless you have dry hair, then only shampoo once.





4) after thoroughly rinsed, comb through conditioner from roots to tip (unless you have oily hair, then start from about an inch from roots through to tips), concentrating on the tips.





5) leave in for three to five minutes to soak and work through





6) rinse throughly and smoothly, keeping your hair straight, not in a rough scrubbing motion.





7) comb while wet.





8) once dry, finger-comb your hair to avoid frizz and style.





never tie up wet hair, you'll just cause it damage, don't sleep in wet hair either.





of course, you are having showers everyday, right?





just use a shower cap on the days you don't need wash your hair.

I wash my hair every 5 days because i hate the feeling when i was it, its all clean and frizzy and soft yuck
no not a good thing to do,


and no everyone does not wash there hair everyday (mostly)


white people no offense but it's not good drys out the hair and cause a bad case of the greasy
I do, and it hasn't done me any harm.
No i dont wash my hair everyday, it strips teh natural oils of teh hair and makes it look more dry and dull than lustrious, even if youve got greasy hair because the oil galnds work overactively because tehy are trying to replace the lost oils.xx
No, I think it's a good question!! I think this one is a bit of a split camp of opinion. I have short, bleached hair which I use a lot of product in therefore, unless I want to leave the house looking like a scarecrow in the morning I have to wash it every day. If you have longer more manageable hair that isn't so ';product dependent'; there probably isn't the need. With regular washing the one thing I have discovered is that you really have to cater for the needs of your hair shampoo/conditioner wise - that doesn't necessarily mean spending a fortune but does mean that you have to take into consideration the condition of your hair, for example, if it is dry then a good nourishing shampoo/conditioner will be in order, if it tends to be frizzy then you may need something to combat the extra friziness that may be caused by regular washing and heat drying. It probably is true that some level of natural condition is lost by regular washing but to be honest with the amount of miracle products on the market , used wisely, no-one will ever know!


Hope that helps x
No it is very bad to wash your hair everyday. It strips your natural oils of the hair. To be honest when you do wash it you are only supposed to wash your scalp and let the soapy water run down the length of your hair(never pile hair on the head it causes breakage). I wash my hair about2-3 times a week and use sweet almond oil as a leave in (about 2 drops) smoothed through my hair. i have almost waist length and that is silky soft.
I wash my hair every other day, because if you wash it everyday, it takes out the natural oils from your hair.
Absolutely yes it is fine. Washing your hair every day keeps it healthy by getting rid of loose hairs and keeping the scalp healthy. This is true for ethinic hair as well. If you tend to have dry hair or dry scalp, use a moisture shampoo... but very healthy to be washing it on a daily basis. Besides, if you don't, your hair will smell musty kinda like dirty clothes left in the hamper.

I used to think the same thing, like if I washed it too much if my hair would go dry, or something. But it's okay to wash your hair everyday. I do it every night, but it's practically the same thing.
Proper hair and scalp care involves washing your hair regularly to remove the normal buildup of dirt, dead skin cells, oils produced by skin glands, and any other substances you put in your hair such as hair spray, etc. The frequency with which you wash your hair depends on the condition of your hair. Basic guidelines are to wash your hair a few times a week for dry hair, and every day or every other day for oily hair.





If you do choose to wash your hair daily, make sure that you are using a pH-balanced shampoo and only wash it once. If you wash it more than once a day, you will be removing too much of the natural oil found in hair. Of the shampoos available on the market, most contain water, foaming agents, fragrances (often added to mask odors of other ingredients), and various amounts of detergents. Shampoos that are designed for oily hair have more detergent than shampoos for non-oily hair. Detergents can make hair less manageable and cause it to lose body. Shampoos with more detergents may also come with ';conditioners'; which remain on hair even after rinsing, to prevent hair from being completely stripped of oils.





Here are some guidelines for choosing a shampoo for your particular type of hair:





* Damaged or fine hair: Use protein shampoo labeled substantive protein. Shampoo should be more than mildly acidic. Or you can rinse your hair following shampoo with white vinegar and water, or lemon and water. This acid rinse will help to restore a smooth cuticle and shine to your hair.


* Healthy hair: Regular protein shampoos are fine. Blondes might try a chamomile shampoo, which has mild bleaching properties. Brunettes might use a henna shampoo, which has mild reddening properties.


* Oily hair: Use a lemon based shampoo.


* All types: Jojo based shampoo is successful in treating scalp conditions as well as dissolving serum buildup. It leaves your hair clean and shining.





For all types of hair, try alternating shampoos. Use one type once or twice a week and the other once or twice a week. Change brands every few months to keep your hair shiny and full of life. Diet plays an important role in hair care also, so pay attention to what you eat and try to incorporate a healthy balance of foods.
yeah its fine.. i wash my hair neraly every day. Just to keep it smooth and silky. Its better than having it rough and greasy all the time! ew.
It's actually better for your hair if you wash it every other day or even every third day if you can. I know it sounds gross, but by washing your hair every day you are stripping the natural oils that your hair needs. Washing it every day can cause your hair to dry out. On the days that you don't wash your hair, if you notice it looks a little oily, sprinkle a little bit of baby powder in your hair (I know it sounds weird) but it absorbs the oils.
no your not suppost to wash your hair everyday...it completely drys it out, try washing it every two days instead, unless your hair gets insanely greasy its bad to wash it with shampoo everyday!
no your hair goes greecy if u wash it every day x
some people say its overkill
your hair will get dry if you wash it everyday but it depends on your hair type if your hair gets greasy everyday then it should be ok to wash your hair everyday but if it dosent then i would advise you not to wash your hair everyday!
i dont wash my hair everyday i wash it every other day because then it wuld start falling off
Yep it's fine. The only problem is that my hair gets really used to it, so if I don't wash it one day, it will get all greasy...
yes its fine. don't take to many showers a day and use shampoo though because that will attract lice.
