Some people can wash their hair every day, especially if it gets dirty quickly.

But the general rule is that you should cleanse your scalp every 2-3 days.

Of course, this indicator is individual; the hair type is important, as well as external factors that affect the condition of the epidermis.

If a person washes his hair rarely, it stays clean longer. And if over time he begins to shorten the interval between hair washes, over time his locks will get dirty even faster. But what can you do to avoid having to wash your hair every day?

To begin with, of course, it is important to dry your hair naturally without using a straightener or hair dryer.

Also, you shouldn't apply too many cosmetic products to your hair, as they will weigh your hair down and make it look dirty.

What other rules for washing your hair should you follow?

1. If your hair is naturally dry, you will need to wash it more often, but you should not use too much detergent.

2. And you can also wash short hair often, since such curls practically do not need to be styled, which means they are not damaged by irons and hair dryers.

3. Recent studies show that brunettes should wash their hair about 2 times a week.

If you reduce the interval between washing your hair, it will make your hair dull and dehydrated, it will become dry and lose its pigment.

4. If a woman has curly hair, she can wash her hair less often than 2-3 times a week.

The thing is that the curl will only hold thanks to the production of natural oils in the scalp, and shampoo deprives it of its protective layer.

5. Oily hair requires the use of not only liquid, but also dry shampoo. And it should be applied not when the hair loses its presentable appearance, but immediately after drying. This way, the curls will stay clean longer.

Earlier, the doctor suggested that it is useful to eat during Lent to avoid vitamin deficiency .
