What are the affects if you wash your hair everyday?

Question

And if you are not suppose to are you just suppose to let your hair smell?

Answer 1

I wash my hair everyday. Just remember that you have to put back into your hair what you take out. Washing your hair not only removes the bad oils and dirts but also the good oils your hair needs. Be sure to condition the ends of your hair every time you wash it. This keeps your hair from drying out.

If you have oily hair then you should wash it everyday with a shampoo specifically geared towards oily hair.

Answer 2

Depends on how oily your hair is. If you are Caucasian and have oily hair, washing it daily will keep it looking clean and will not hurt your hair. If you have drier hair, which is common among African Americans, washing your hair every day will dry it out. If your hair is dry, it probably looks it's best several days after it has been washed when the oils start to build back up. As for hair smelling, if your hair smells it is probably oily and needs to be washed. If your hair starts to smell after one day, this is a good indicator that it is ok for you to wash your hair daily. However, if your hair smells but doesn't look or feel oily, you may need to try a dandruff shampoo. These can help with various scalp conditions that may make your hair smell bad.

Answer 3

It depends on your hair type. Americans are known for over washing hair. If you use lots of products then you might want to wash everyday, and use a vinegar rinse once a week. Or a clarifying shampoo. I use a two in one shampoo, and a deep conditioner at the same time. It keeps the damage down. There is hair scents out there too. Don't use perfume though. At least the kind with alcohol they damage your hair.

Proper hair and scalp care involves washing your hair regularly to remove the normal buildup of dirt, dead skin cells, oils produced by skin glands, and any other substances you put in your hair such as hair spray, etc. The frequency with which you wash your hair depends on the condition of your hair. Basic guidelines are to wash your hair a few times a week for dry hair, and every day or every other day for oily hair.

If you do choose to wash your hair daily, make sure you use a pH-balanced shampoo and only wash it once. If you wash it more than once a day, you will be removing too much of the natural oil found in hair. Of the shampoos available on the market, most contain water, foaming agents, fragrances (often added to mask odors of other ingredients), and various amounts of detergents. Shampoos designed for oily hair have more detergent than shampoos for non-oily hair. Detergents can make hair less manageable and cause it to lose body. Shampoos with more detergents may also come with "conditioners" which remain on hair even after rinsing, to prevent hair from being completely stripped of oils.

Here are some guidelines for choosing a shampoo for your particular type of hair:

Damaged or fine hair: Use protein shampoo labeled substantive protein. Shampoo should be more than mildly acidic. Or you can rinse your hair following shampoo with white vinegar and water, or lemon and water. This acid rinse will help to restore a smooth cuticle and shine to your hair.

Healthy hair: Regular protein shampoos are fine. Blondes might try a chamomile shampoo, which has mild bleaching properties. Brunettes might use a henna shampoo, which has mild reddening properties.

Oily hair: Use a lemon based shampoo.
All types: Jojoba based shampoo is successful in treating scalp conditions as well as dissolving sebum buildup. It leaves your hair clean and shining.

For all types of hair, try alternating shampoos. Use one type once or twice a week and the other once or twice a week. Change brands every few months to keep your hair shiny and full of life. Diet plays an important role in hair care also, so pay attention to what you eat and try to incorporate a healthy balance of foods.

Answer 5

You hair will get dry. Wash everyother day, unless your hair is or gets oily daily. Then wash with a softer shampoo made for wash everyday.

Answer 6

it can get greasy, but really, you shouldn't wash it every day because it dries out your hair and scalp.

at the risk of TMO: your body gets used to certain conditions so if you wash your hair daily b/c you say it gets greasy otherwise, it's because you're body is over-producing oils to compensate for drying it out. if you can stand it, go a few days without washing your hair, then your body will quit producing so much oil. then you can wash your hair every other day, keeping it healthy.

oh, and washing it every other day will keep it from smelling.

Answer 7

I wash my hair every other day because it really doesn't need to be washed everyday. It gets dried out. Unless your hair gets really bad everyday you don't need to wash it everyday.
