Shampooing daily vs shampooing once a week: What’s better?

It depends on your hair type, scalp condition, and lifestyle! Here’s a quick comparison to help you decide:

Daily Shampooing:

  • 🟢 Good for: Oily scalp, sweating a lot (e.g., workouts), living in a polluted area.
  • 🔴 Downside: Can strip natural oils, leading to dryness or increased oil production as the scalp tries to compensate.

Once-a-Week Shampooing:

  • 🟢 Good for: Dry or curly hair, sensitive scalp, and preserving natural oils.
  • 🔴 Downside: Can lead to product buildup, scalp odor, or itchiness if your scalp is naturally oily.

Balanced Approach:

  • Most people do well shampooing 2–3 times a week.
  • If daily shampooing is necessary, use a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo.
  • On non-wash days, rinse with water or use a dry shampoo if needed.
