Yes you can wash your hair too much. Washing too often causes you hair to become dry. This is because the scalp produces natural oils to moisturize your hair, washing too much washes those oils away. You should not wash your hair more often the every other day.

yes- excessive washing can be damaging to your hair because that will strip away oils that your hair/body naturally produce and are important for keeping your hair healthy. generally you'd want to wash your hair once every day, or some wash it every other day. it's okay if you end up washing it twice every so often, as long as that doesn't happen every day. it's like washing your face too much- you want to clean it but too much can dry it out.

Yes because it does dry your hair out. It strips the natural oils from your scalp and your hair becomes brittle and will eventually began to break. Washing with water only or conditioner helps alot....eliminate shampoo all together because the shampoo is what causes the breakage if you choose to wash everyday. Substitue the shampoo for conditioner. Don't be afraid of build-up you can clarify with apple cidar vinegar mixed with distilled water...this gets all the gunk off of your scalp. I don't even use shampoo because of all the harsh sulfates in it. I have curly hair so to keep my hair supple and moisturized I use conditioner.

It can dry out your hair and contribute to frizz and split ends and make it brittle and more easily broken. It's best not to wash more than once a day or every other day if possible and to use conditioner at least once a week if not every time you wash.

yes, try washing just down at your scalp, and let the rest get washed by shampoo as you rinse it out.
You might try every other day.
Also a good conditioner helps.
I use MASk conditioner made ny ENJOY.
You can get it at beauty supply, it has saved my hair that is extremely dry and used to break off.
Also try taking Flax seed oil.Its good for eyes, skin , hair etc,

Washing your hair too much will strip it of its essential natural oils, making it less healthy and more prone to breakage.
