Here's How Often You Should REALLY Wash Your Hair...

It's been an ongoing debate for as long as we can remember, a tale as old as time. Some hairdressers swear by once per week, whereas others advise every day. But how often should we actually be washing our hair?

Well, it depends! The frequency with which you should wash your hair depends on a few factors, including your hair type, your daily activities, and the products you use in your hair.

For most people, washing your hair every 1-2 days is sufficient to keep it clean and healthy. This will allow your hair to maintain its natural oils and protect it from damage. This is also a good timeline for you if you use products in your hair daily. 

If you have oily hair, you may need to wash it more frequently, perhaps every day or every other day. 

On the other hand, if you have dry or damaged hair, you may only need to wash it every 3 or so days or even less often, in which case we recommend the Kerastase Specifique Bain Anti-Pelliculaire 250ml.

For a good, deep clean, we recommend a clarifying shampoo, which is designed to deep-clean the hair and scalp, and leave locks revitalised and refreshed. For a good, deep clean, we recommend a clarifying shampoo, which is designed to deep-clean the hair and scalp, and leave locks revitalised and refreshed. Try the Olaplex No. 4C Bond Maintenance Clarifying Shampoo 250ml, followed by the Olaplex No. 5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner for deeply hydrated and restored tresses, ideal for damaged and coloured hair.

Those with textured or coily hair should only wash it once every 1–2 week. Try the Kerastase Curl Manifesto Bain Hydratation Douceur 250ml and Kerastase Curl Manifesto Fondant Hydratation Essentielle 250ml for more defined, bouncy curls that feel lightweight and nourished.

In general, it's best to listen to your hair and adjust your washing schedule based on how your hair looks and feels. If your hair is looking and feeling greasy or dirty, it's probably time to wash it. On the other hand, if your hair is looking and feeling healthy and clean, you can probably wait a bit longer before washing it again.
