How often should you shampoo your hair? Many of us do so on a daily basis but this can be harmful, damaging your hair’s essential oils. Experts recommend different regimes for different types of hair.

Fine Hair – Fine hair tends to feel greasy more quickly than thicker hair as it does not have as much volume. The recommendation for fine hair is shampooing no more than three times a week. Any conditioner should be light to avoid hair appearing lifeless as a result of too much weight.

Thick Hair – Thick straight hair may be the devil to style but there is an advantage; once styled your hair can be left for days! Experts suggest washing every other day at most, preferably with a shampoo containing keratin or argan oil to assist smoothing.

Curly Hair – There is good news here, too. Oil from the scalp cannot travel quickly through curly hair so again you can easily go a few days between washes. Washing twice a week is recommended, using a shampoo heavy in moisturising qualities.

So there are some basic principles for shampooing your hair. For more detailed advice you should consult an expert, such as those at Gloucester’s Pazazz Hair Studio. They will be happy to help.
