On the state and appearance hair is directly affected by how and with what you wash it. There is no need to run after the dear ones professional means... The main thing is to wash your hair as the experts advise.

How often should you wash your hair?

How often the washing procedure should be carried out is influenced by the length and type of hair, the presence of previously used styling products, the condition of the skin, etc. If you are a representative of women with normal skin heads, you will need to wash it no more often than twice a week. Girls with dry hair wash their hair no more than once a week. Remember, there is no need for daily shampooing.

Frequent washing brings with it a significant amount of harm, and not an ounce of benefit.

No matter how strange it may sound, people who are engaged in frequent washing begin to suffer from the formation of an excessive layer of fat on the roots by the sebaceous glands. Depending on the following conditions you can choose how often you need to wash:

1. Skin type.
2. Texture. This factor affects the rate of spread of sebum. Owners of curly and coarse hair may notice that sebum spreads more slowly, which means that washing their hair once a week is enough for them. But for those who have straight Thin hair, they have to suffer more from hair pollution, respectively, they have an increased need to wash their hair more often.
3. Hair style can affect how often you wash your hair. Hair owners wash their hair not the same number of times different lengths, dyed and natural hair.

Most people need to wash their hair no more than once every 3 days. For many, this frequency of washing will seem drastic, especially for those who are used to washing their hair on a daily basis.

For those who are engaged in daily washing, it is worth gradually accustoming their hair to a more rare procedure. It doesn't take long. In the first week, try to wash not every day, but every 2 days. The next week should serve as a consolidation of the desired. Before long, you will begin to notice how your skin will get used to this treatment. In this case, it is allowed to proceed with more rare washing. The result will undoubtedly please you!

So how often can you wash your hair? Find a middle ground so that the bulbs do not produce a lot of sebum and there is no dandruff in the hair. Frequent shampooing is the main reason for defatting the scalp. It entails an increased production of sebum, because of this, the body will try to restore the lipid layer of fat. Frequent shampooing provokes an accelerated production of fat. But rare washing directly affects the deposition of sebaceous secretions and the appearance of microinflammation.

About shampoo

Choose a shampoo based on your hair type. Stores are full of an abundance of choices: shampoos for colored, normal hair, anti-dandruff, etc. Shampoo labeled "universal" will not bring the desired effect. You should not expect a corresponding result from the "2 in 1" products, because the balm and shampoo are designed to play a different role: shampoo - to cleanse, and conditioner to envelop the hair along the entire length.
If you are used to your daily washing routine, you need to choose the right shampoo. Aim for conditioner and shampoo from the same manufacturer. Remember that shampoo should serve its main purpose - to remove all dirt from the scalp.

Wash your hair the way the supplier wants it, it's not for nothing that instructions are written on the labels. If the manufacturer indicated that the shampoo must be kept on the head for at least 3-4 minutes, then this is exactly what must be done. After all, it is after 3 minutes that all the necessary components that are in its composition begin to act.

You will most often find a similar requirement on the labels of anti-dandruff shampoos or for dyed hair.

Experts recommend washing your hair with boiled water, because the chlorine contained in ordinary tap water remains and settles in the depths of the hair. Agree, rarely will anyone agree to spend their time boiling, and then also cooling the water with which he will wash. Manufacturers of protective shampoos come to the rescue. Also, these shampoos are recommended for use if you are a frequent visitor to the pool.

For those who like to use hair sprays and mousses, it is recommended to use a deep hair cleaner. Customers notice that this shampoo causes tangling of the hair, so buy a balm right away with the detergent.

How much shampoo should you use? With daily repetition of the procedure, there is no need for double lathering. But in the case of rare washing, soap your hair twice, while increasing the volume of the product a second time.

How to properly wash your hair

Hair needs combing before washing. Do this with a wide-toothed comb. This will remove any styling residues from your hair, exfoliate dead skin cells, and make your hair easier to comb after washing and will not get tangled during washing. Also, a comb with fine teeth serves as a massager.

Stick to important rules:

1. Before applying detergent Dampen your hair liberally, not lightly dampen it. This will help the shampoo spread more easily over the entire length of your hair.
2. You don't need to apply a lot of shampoo. It's enough that you use one tsp. funds. Pour the shampoo into your hand, dilute with water, beat into a lather, apply it to the hair and massage the scalp with gentle movements. This will induce blood flow to the roots, which in turn will enhance hair growth.
3. Your movements should be gentle, because wet hair is most vulnerable to mechanical damage.

Water temperature

It is best if the water temperature is 40-50 degrees. Hotter water helps to activate the sebaceous glands and leaching, the hair as a result will become oily even faster. If you wash your hair with water of 40-50 degrees, blood circulation will improve, dirt will be removed easily and sebum will dissolve more easily.

To achieve healthy shine and stimulate better blood circulation, complete the wash with a cold shower. Remember chlorine is bad for your scalp. There are proven ways to soften water: add 0.5 teaspoon of baking soda to 1 liter of warm water. This water is suitable for both washing and rinsing.

Don't forget about balm

Our hair is made up of a thin strand of keratin protein, which is protected by a thick layer of scales. The outer layer is the cuticle, which ideally should be strong enough to allow easy curling and brushing of the hair. It is on this cuticle that various masks, balms, conditioners should directly affect.

To get the most out of your balm or conditioner, apply it correctly. Avoid getting the product on the scalp, distribute it over the entire length of the hair. If the balm gets on the skin, it again activates the sebaceous glands. This leads to the earliest possible pollution of the head. The active molecules of the balm, when applied to the hair, look for the damaged space and supply it with important elements.

Apply the balm after shampooing. It is able to smooth the outer layer of hair after alkali (for example, paint, hard water, etc.) gets on it, it is recommended to apply it for 5-7 minutes. This will make the hair a little heavier and lack the desired volume. You will have to choose between the desired volume and healthy hair.

Drying properly

Drying your hair with a hairdryer is harmful. It is preferable to wrap them with a towel, it will absorb all unnecessary moisture. Let your hair dry by itself, you should protect wet hair from sudden movements.

If you are in a hurry, you cannot do without a hairdryer. Try to use special thermal agents to protect against overheating. A jet of hot air should be directed from the roots to the tips, lower your head down. This will add shine and silkiness to your hair.
Take your time grabbing the comb while your hair is still damp. If your hair does not tend to tangle, it is best to comb it with your fingers or a wide-toothed comb. Apply while doing this wooden comb, which is the most sparing for the hair.

The towel that you use to dry your hair should be changed more often, as many bacteria collect and multiply on it. You should not curl your hair in a towel for a long time, because this will cause a kind of greenhouse effect, which is fraught with rapid contamination of the head in the future. When drying your hair, look for the golden mean: do not use too hot or too cold blowing.

How to comb your hair correctly

Follow the brushing rules:

• Start at the tips, then work your way up. This method will help you not to damage or pull out extra hair.
• Try to avoid brushing wet hair. They stretch easily and become brittle after drying. Wait until your hair is dry, only then start brushing it.
• It is better to start with a wide-toothed comb: it glides more easily through the hair than a flat brush or "massage".
• Do not get carried away with frequent brushing. In everyday life, a myth is widespread that combing hair with the aim of accelerated growth is necessary more than 100 times a day. In reality, it will ruin and break your hair.
• Look for brushes with natural bristles and avoid artificial ones. Natural bristles cleanses hair and it looks clean longer.
• The comb always gets dirty after brushing, dead particles and loose hair settle on it. It should be washed thoroughly weekly. There is a great way - apply shaving foam to the comb and leave it on for 10 minutes, the foam will push out all the dirt, it will be enough to then rinse the brush with water.

The routine of shampooing, familiar to everyone, hides many secrets and nuances in which many people make mistakes. For ignorance of what means to wash your hair, and what not, a person himself causes damage to the scalp and hair.

Features of the structure of hair

Human hair has the same structure. They represent the hair follicle (bulb), which is hidden in the root sheath, and the hair shaft itself.

The hair follicle contains:

• papilla, through which the hair receives nutrients;
• the hair muscle that holds the hair (volume effect at the roots).

The root sheath is a thin layer of skin around the bulb filled with blood vessels. Sebaceous and sweat glands are attached to it, creating a protective film on the skin. It prevents dirt from entering the epithelium through the hair growth holes.

The shaft is the visible part of the hair above the surface of the skin.

The outer part of the hair is:

• the core containing the medulla;
• the cortical layer (cortex) containing protein and mineral compounds, as well as the pigment melanin;
• keratinized scales (cuticle) that protect the cortex from external damage.

What determines the frequency of hair washing

Contamination of the hair of a single organism occurs on the basis of the work of its secretion. Sebum protects against adverse environmental influences. Its excess on the surface of the skin leads to the accumulation of dust and dirt on it, which causes a messy look.

There are the following factors that affect how often you wash your hair:

1. Curl type:
   • dry - do not get dirty for a long time after washing, have a low sheen and are prone to brittleness;
   • normal - you have to resort to hygiene 1 time in 3 days, the hair is lush, looks thick with a moderate sheen;
   • oily - the scalp quickly becomes dirty due to secretion a large number greasy lubrication, which causes itching and dandruff, requires frequent washing;
   • mixed - oily roots, dry ends.
2. Hair style:
   • short - hygiene is recommended about 3 times a week or as soon as they become dirty, avoiding daily washing;
   • medium - water procedures should be carried out as soon as it gets dirty;
   • long - have the greatest area of ​​contact with external factors, so it is worth washing them up to 4 times a week.
3. In summer, the hairstyle is more exposed to environmental factors: ultraviolet light, wind with dust, acid rain. In hot weather, the process of releasing a larger amount of secretion occurs, from which the curls quickly become salted and lose their fresh appearance, and the exposure to ultraviolet light dries the ends of the curls and causes their section.
4. In winter, wearing a hat prevents normal aeration of the skin, creating a fatty film on its surface. This leads to itching, seborrhea and dandruff. Also, during this period, the haircut is most susceptible to the occurrence of static, which causes severe damage to the hairline. You have to use additional styling products, which causes the need to cleanse after each application.
5. Diet. The ingestion of fatty, salty and carbohydrate foods, carbonated drinks into the human body forces the glands to work in an enhanced mode and secrete fat.
6. Diseases skin heads. You can wash your hair at least 3 times a week. This will help to avoid the occurrence of complications of the disease and their consequences, since sebum is a fertile environment for the development of pathogenic microorganisms.
7. The use of cosmetic products: shampoos, gels, paints, foams, balms, etc. An improperly selected product for the type of hair can aggravate the condition of the hairstyle. For example, washing oily curls with a shampoo designed for dry hair will further moisturize and block the sebaceous ducts. Frequent use of unnatural cosmetics inhibits the natural components of the hair and makes it damaged. After each application, a rinsing procedure is required.

How often should a man wash his hair?

Salting hair in men, as in women, depends on the effects of environmental factors and the type of curls.

Daily head hygiene using shampoo containing sulfates and other chemical elements is a mistake. With such frequent procedure there is a washout of nutrients, drying of the hair shaft and injury to the skin.

To improve the condition of their hair, men can wash their hair 1 to 3 times a week using cosmetic products. Taking a shower every day, it is enough to wet your head with water, washing off the primary pollution from it. An intensive skin massage under contrasting water will help exfoliate dead cells, remove fat and improve blood circulation at the roots.

Shampoo

If the shampoo is chosen correctly, then it will not harm. This is one of the most common hair care products. In order to avoid injury to the scalp and the accumulation of chemical elements from the shampoo, it must be changed every 3 months, especially with frequent use. Given the aggressiveness of the components of this product, it should be treated with hair no more than 2 times a week.

Professional shampoo

Professional cosmetics are used in beauty salons on the recommendation of hairdressers. It is also available for home use. Professional shampoos have an individual character of solving hair problems. They contain active substances with a strong and pronounced effect, therefore it is necessary to select such a remedy with a professional master.

There are many folk hair care products: fermented milk products, egg yolks, yeast and bread infusions, etc. Each of them should be used, taking into account the health of the skin, curls and the absence or presence of allergic reactions to the components.

Homemade cosmetic preparations can be used as a minor remedy when used with shampoos. They can completely replace the use of shampoos. The frequency of their use depends on the type of hairline and its condition.

How to wash your hair properly

Dry and damaged strands can be saturated with hair oils or mixtures of the two before cleaning. For improvement physical condition and the appearance of curls, regular use of a hair mask is suitable.

It is worth washing your hair, adhering to the following rules:

1. Moisten hair and scalp well with warm water. This promotes the disclosure of cuticle scales and thoroughly flushing out impurities.
2. The amount of shampoo is taken from the calculation of the length of the haircut: for short and medium, 5-6 g is suitable, long curls it will take about 10 g (about 1 tbsp. l.).
3. Shampoo should be rubbed in hands until lather and then applied to the head. It cannot be poured directly onto the hair, since the concentration along the entire length will be uneven. Its active substances have an accumulating effect.
4. Shampoo your head with gentle massaging movements, avoiding rubbing. Curls should be washed with stroking movements from top to bottom (do not rub them together). To soften the aggressive effects of the components of the product, the ends of the hair can be covered with conditioner or balm.
5. Use cool water to remove soap suds. The contrast of the water helps to increase the blood supply to the hair follicles and make the hair shaft itself more elastic and shiny.
6. Use balms and conditioners according to the instructions. They should be applied, departing from the roots 2-3 cm. For better removal of cosmetics, cool water is suitable, which will not only wash them away, but also close the cuticle scales.

After washing, you should wrap your head with a towel for a while and allow moisture to be absorbed into it. Rubbing wet hair damages its structure, and curls become dry and brittle.

• you can not rub shampoo into the skin and curls;
• apply soap foam rubbed with a washcloth and slightly soaked soap;
• to avoid plaque residues, rinse abundantly with cool water;
• do not apply balms and conditioners to the hair roots;
• to soften the stiffness of the curls, you can replace balms and conditioners with an acidic solution, for example: lemon juice or Apple vinegar diluted with water.

How long can you not wash your hair?

The more often the scalp is cleansed, the drier the scalp and epidermis become. The secreted sebum, esters and oils do not have time to saturate the skin and curls. From this they become dull, dry and damaged. The head should be cleaned as it gets dirty. For some types of haircuts, this procedure is sufficient once a week. If there are diseases of the scalp, then it must be cleaned regularly to avoid aggravating the condition.

There is a principle: the drier your hair, the longer you can leave it without washing. With hairstyles prone to fatness, you should not risk the lack of long-term hygiene, since the sebaceous glands are clogged, the respiration of the bulbs becomes difficult and hair growth stops. Severe itching may occur, leading to damage to the skin and deeper dirt in the skin. Moldy odor may occur due to decomposition of a large amount of grease.

It should be remembered that the methods and frequency of head hygiene depend on many different internal factors of the human body and the influence of the environment.

7. Apply conditioner to damp hair.

Naturally spectacular hair is a luxurious adornment for both women and men. But even the richest hair looks pathetic without proper care. The quality of hair, its attractiveness and health are very much dependent on washing.

Living in the fast pace of the modern world, not everyone has the opportunity to pay enough attention to seemingly trifles like proper shampooing. Many people choose to shampoo their hair every morning to keep their hair fresh. This approach is still incorrect, and over time it can harm the condition of the curls.

When asked how often you need to wash your hair, trichologists do not give an unambiguous answer, arguing that everything in this matter should be individual for each person, depending on the type of his hair, the degree of damage and other factors.

Care for increased dryness

If we consider the option with dry hair, then in this case it is not recommended to wash them every day, even with the use of gentle neutral products. The fact is that such curls are almost devoid of a protective shell, which is formed due to the work of the sebaceous glands of the scalp. They hardly retain moisture, due to which the structure of the hair is disrupted, brittleness and confusion appear. As a result, the strands are difficult to comb.

Dry hair tends to have almost no shine and looks dull and lifeless. Frequent washing it will not help here, rather - on the contrary.

Owners of such hair can be advised to wash their hair once a week, be sure to pamper the skin and hair along the entire length with nourishing and moisturizing masks prepared on the basis of useful vegetable oils: castor, sea buckthorn, wheat germ or grape seed oil.

As in everything else, it is also important to know when to stop when using such funds. Trichologists do not welcome their frequent use even on dry hair, one or two times a week is enough to revive a faded hairstyle.

Oily hair care

A very common occurrence is oily hair. How often can you wash your hair if, after the morning toilet, the freshness of the curls is barely enough until the evening? Everyone knows that oily strands look extremely untidy and even tend to smell unpleasant.

Plus, excess sebum is a paradise for bacteria and a magnet for outside dirt. The owners of such hair often face the problem of dandruff and scalp irritation.

Talking about how often to wash oily hair, experts decided that there was no choice. The state of pollution is much more harmful to the hair than frequent rinsing in water. There are a few tricks that can help you reduce oiliness in your hair and heal your skin prone to excess oil:

• never wash your hair with hot water, as it provokes increased work of the sebaceous glands;
• expose curls to heat as little as possible, if possible, minimize the use of a hairdryer, ironing and tongs;
• once or twice a week, it is useful to make a salt mask for the scalp, gently applying ordinary table salt along the partings and massaging very gently; salt will cleanse the pores, draw out excess fat and dry out the roots a little, reduce the appearance of dandruff;
• perfectly fights oily dandruff oil tea tree gently cleansing the skin and preventing hair loss;
• to reduce the secretion of sebum, it will not hurt to revise the diet and exclude fatty, smoked, fried and spicy foods; healthy food has the most positive effect not only on the condition of the hair, but also significantly improves the skin of the face, eliminating such troubles as acne and oily sheen

Combined hair

When the hair tends to be oily at the roots, but splits and frizz at the ends, this, of course, complicates the task of proper care. The hairstyle usually loses its freshness and attractiveness within a couple of days after washing. How often you need to wash your hair with such a problematic head of hair is a completely solvable question, you just need to remember a few simple rules and don't be lazy to stick to them.

• Using shampoo for mixed hair, wash your hair and apply a moisturizing balm to the ends. Having withstood the right time, rinse the curls with lukewarm water.
• Let your hair dry naturally, giving up the hair dryer. This applies both to the hair at the roots and to the ends: hot air is contraindicated for them!
• For split ends, it is good to use special oils, and it is useful to apply them to damp hair, and rinse with warm water over time.
• For oily roots, a salt mask will again come to the rescue.

Normal hair type

Those who are so incredibly lucky with their hair hardly face the problems described above, and still want to know how many times a week they need to wash their hair so as not to harm the quality of the curls and the health of the skin. This question is very pertinent. Even normal hair can be ruined over time by too frequent washing or a hot hairdryer.

Trichologists say that such hair is allowed to be washed as it gets dirty, avoiding excesses in everything in order to preserve, as much as possible, their natural beauty.

There are many subtleties in such a case as proper care hair, and they are all important. For example, specialists are sometimes asked such a strange question: maybe you can not wash your hair or do it as rarely as possible?

Speaking about this, many people like to give examples from past years, when Saturday was the only bathing day, and this was enough for women to have gorgeous braids. You should not compare those times with today, because so much has changed: traditions, fashion, ecology, and so on.

Trichologists are confident in the need to keep the hair clean and timely cleanse the scalp from impurities. Here's what they advise:

• before you wash your hair, it is important to comb the strands properly;
• shampoo should not be applied directly to the head, it is better to whip a little product with water in your palms, and then distribute the resulting soap solution through the hair;
• you need to thoroughly rinse the curls from the shampoo and massage the scalp with your fingertips;
• the choice of funds should be taken seriously in order to determine the best option for the type of hair;
• do not abuse fixing foams, mousses and varnishes, do not torment the hairstyle with too frequent staining;
• get rid of bad habits forever and think over the right diet;
• observe the regime and play sports, thus lowering the level of stress, which has a detrimental effect on the body as a whole, and hair is an indicator of its health;
• in the cold season, do not neglect hats so that sudden changes in temperature do not damage the condition of the curls;
• drink clean water.

By doing this, you can significantly strengthen your immune system, tone up and look your best.

On the labels of shampoos and balms from a certain category, we can read: “For oily hair". In fact, the presentation is not entirely correct, because by nature it is not the hair that is oily, but the scalp. As a rule, the owners oily skin scalp, oily and facial skin. This is a hereditary story and is associated with increased testosterone levels in both men and women. It is to the release of this hormone that the sebaceous glands react with increased sebum secretion.

During the day, sebum from the scalp smoothly descends through the hair due to the fact that you often touch or comb it, as a result, by the evening, they can turn into icicles.

Owners of oily scalp are forced to arrange a daily head wash in order to always look presentable.

Experts have different opinions on this matter. Some people think that oily hair should be washed every day, otherwise the pores will become clogged with grease mixed with dirt and styling, which stimulates hair loss and dandruff.

Others are in favor of washing your hair less often. After all, constant headwash stimulates the active reality of the sebaceous glands. So what about the owners of oily hair in this case: wash it every day or less often? We asked this and other questions Karine Mkhitaryan, BIOLAGE expert.

What makes hair oily

As we have already said, the scalp can be oily in nature, and also change its type (for example, from dry to oily) during life, against the background of hormonal disruptions, diseases of the endocrine system. Various factors can stimulate the severe oiliness of the scalp.

Frequent use of thermal devices

The hot air evaporates moisture from the scalp, and the sebaceous glands try to moisturize the skin with sebum.

Radical stains, e.g. from dark to light

With a sharp lightening, the scalp suffers, it loses moisture, as is the case with thermal devices, and sebum replaces the loss.

Stress and depression

Adrenaline with cortisol, which are released into the blood against the background of spleen, trigger the active work of the sebaceous glands.

Brushing frequently throughout the day

Massaging the sebaceous glands with a comb stimulates their active work. Plus, you just stretch the oil from your scalp through your hair and it turns into icicles.

Improper use of balms and masks

For some reason, girls believe that the balm and mask should be applied both to the roots and to the tips. In fact, these are products made for the hair, not the scalp. Therefore, they cannot be applied to the roots, they will create an airtight film that stimulates the active work of the sebaceous glands.

The exceptions are special healing balms and masks created exclusively for the scalp.

Tight headdress

If you wear a tight hat and do not take it off indoors, this further stimulates the sebaceous glands. Try to wear loose hats and always take them off indoors.

How often can you wash your oily scalp

On the one hand, the question seems rhetorical, on the other - this equation has long been solved. For those with an oily scalp, it's really better not to wash your hair every day. Why? The constant head wash, indeed, removes the protective film, consisting of sebum, from the head, and it serves to moisturize the skin. Losing moisture, the skin begins to experience dryness and starts the work of the sebaceous glands in an active mode.

1. Shampoo for oily scalp Pure ressource L "Oreal Professionnel. 2. Shampoo for oily scalp IlonaLuden. 3. Shampoo for oily scalp Morphosis Framesi. 3. Shampoo to restore the balance of the scalp Evo Normal person shampoo.

Try to set aside time in your schedule to "reset" your hair routine. Start washing your hair a little less often. First every other day, then, ideally, every two or three days.

1. Moist Diane Botanical Refresh Diane nourishing shampoo. 2. Cleansing shampoo with jojoba oil and Londa Professional white tea extract. 3. Shampoo "Recovery and Detox" Dove Nourishing Secrets. 4. Shampoo for hair Sebovalis Sesderma.

The first time will be difficult, but with support the right means care, you "teach" the scalp to work differently.
