Stop washing your hair every day in 6 easy steps
Washing your hair every day can do more harm than good. I used to wash my hair every other day, but having long hair was such a faff and time-consuming, so I thought I’d go longer between washes.
Here is a step-by-step guide on how to stop washing your hair every day.
HOW TO STOP WASHING YOUR HAIR EVERYDAY
Step 1: Best time to start is when you’ve just had your roots done at the hairdresser (that’s if you colour your hair), so when it does go greasy, it doesn’t look so bad.
Step 2: Do it gradually. So if you wash it every day, wash it every other day, then every 2 days and so on until every 4 or 5 days or even once a week, if you can last that long! When you use a conditioner, add this to the ends of the hair, not the roots.
Step 3: When you’ve washed it add a little mouse to the roots as this will give your hair body and not flat as the days go by.
Step 4: By day 3, it will probably be greasy, as you would have normally washed it by now, so add some dry shampoo.
I’ve tried plenty of different types, and the best one I have found is OGX Biotin or Living Proof (Vegan & Cruelty-free and no parabens or silicon). Smells good and doesn’t go clumpy or leave white bits.
You can even let your dry shampoo work overnight! You spray it in before you go to bed and blow dry it out in the morning.
Step 5: Curl your hair if you have it down. This gives your hair extra body, so it doesn’t look limp and greasy. I love the GHD hair tools I’ve had them for 18 years, so I highly recommend them.
Step 6: Be creative with your hair. Put it up, have it down, have different partins. Go for regular cuts. I use spiral bobbles to put my hair up because they are light and don’t feel heavy or tight on your head.
Conclusion: By the time you have got to the stage of washing your hair every 4 or 5 days, you will find it gets less greasy, and you will find your hair is in much better condition. You use less shampoo and conditioner and save lots of cash. It’s a no-brainer!
So many people have no clue that shampoos that grow your hair fast (of course without any sulfates, parabens or DEA) are even a thing. We all are now able to have longer hair and enjoy more alternatives. Certainly worth exploring.
Whether you’re addressing alopecia, hair damage, preventing scalp disorders, fast hair growth, hair and scalp health at large, the same ideas actualize.
For the most part, you should try to stay away from hair products and treatments that use chemicals like parabens, DEA or sulfates.
What’s healthy for your hair is healthy for your skin as well.
It goes without saying your content above is spot on for so many reasons. It stays away from the accustomed pitfalls and traps too many fall into: buying ineffective alternatives. Thank you so much!
