Now I had read somewhere that its perfectly fine to wash hair everyday, there is no damage. Got confused on what to follow therefore turned to my trusted google to give me some information on hair care rules. I looked up the most common hair rules that we have been subjected to for ages and whether they hold any value or not. The below post is a compilation of the information that I found on the net. I’m no stylist or trichologist but think that they make a lot of sense.
Wash your hair everyday? – In one of the articles I read, Emmy award winning stylist, Curt Darling compares over washing hair to over washing a favorite piece of clothing; if you were to wash your favorite shirt every day, it would fade and become threadbare. “The fabric of your hair is the same in that it gets worked out and dry from over cleansing,” he says. The tone of your hair can also fade, causing your strands to look dull and drab.
Bottom Line: Horrible
I’m definitely not shampooing every day now. What about you? Any hair care rules you are guilty of breaking?

I hope using shampoos daily will lead to hair fall.More over if you want to use the shampoo use the less PH value soaps.Really good blog.

I used to shampoo daily and my hair turned from silky smooth to frizzy. Now, I have cut it down to 2-3 times a week ๐

yiks. I know what you mean about shampooing everyday. I have stopped and now shampoo once every three days, and condition and oil. I got major hair issues a while back, and this was the only way out.

i have oily scalp too. the plain logic is- the more u wash ur hair to get rid of the oils and grease,the more the scalp releases sebum to maintain its nature moisture! its similar with the skin- the more u cleanse/wash it, the more oil it will produce!

Better late than never ๐
