Things You’re Told To Never Wash: Real Or Myth?

3. Never Wash Your Hair

Most of us get up in the morning, brush our teeth, wash our face and then have shower. It’s so ingrained into our daily routines that going one day without washing the hair seems like something disgusting to do. But should we be washing our hair every day, or ever for that matter?

No and yes.

No, you shouldn’t be washing your hair every day. And yes, you should wash your hair once in a while. There are a lot of benefits to washing your hair less often, mainly that it will look naturally shinier and softer. When left alone, your hair is able to produce serbum, which is a natural oil which automatically moisturizes your hair. It also feels a lot better as washing can strip away the natural oils.

When people say “you should never wash your hair”, they often mean you should stop using shampoo on it, which makes a lot more sense because most shampoos are filled with chemicals that can actually end up harming it instead of helping it. You should also try to reduce the amount of hair products you use – or better yet, eliminate them completely.

So it seem like the advice to never wash your hair is a MYTH!
