Almost everyone out there seems to have an opinion (a rather strong one, at that) about whether or not you should be washing your hair every single day.

Some people think that you’d have to be a little bit crazy NOT to wash your hair every day, and that if you don’t scrub your hair every morning or every night you’re going to be dealing with oily hair that looks flat and unattractive.

On the other side of the fence, you have those that think you’d have to be a little bit crazy TO wash your hair every single day. They feel that if you wash your hair on a routine basis with shampoo and other chemicals you’re going to destroy your hair completely command that the only way to make sure that you don’t damage your hair is to give it a break every couple of days.

To help you better determine whether or not washing hair everyday is a good idea or a bad idea, we’ve put together this quick guide. Hopefully you’ll be able to use the inside information below to better understand exactly what you’re getting into!

Is washing hair everyday all right?

The most important thing to realize is that there is a world of difference between people with oily hair and people with a dry scalp washing their hair every day.

You need to understand exactly what’s going on at the top of your head to determine whether or not it’s safe to wash hair every day, and you’re only going to be able to do that by really paying attention to what your hair looks like in the morning, what your hair looks like at night, and what happens to your hair if you go a couple of days without scrubbing it with shampoo or conditioner.

So go three or four days without washing your hair just to get an idea of what you’re going up against. You’ll know by the time you’re done with this little experiment the type of hair that you have, and that will better inform whether or not you should be washing hair everyday or not.

Keep your hair clean without shampoo

You aren’t going to find too terribly many people out there that recommend you skip showering every day, even if those same people tell you that you need to be sure you don’t wash your hair with shampoo on a daily basis.

Remember, you are going to have to fight sweat, sebum, oil, dirt, and all kinds of other stuff that collects on your body – and your hair – on a routine basis. You’re going to need to keep yourself clean and hygienic every day, and that means utilizing cleaning solutions that aren’t dangerous chemicals that rip out the natural moisturizers already in your hair.

Dry shampoos, hair tonics, and other solutions have been designed for exactly this kind of “break” from shampoo or conditioner. Give them a shot and see how your hair reacts. You might find out that you don’t have to go about washing hair everyday anymore!

Skip shampoo everyday, but stick to conditioner regularly

Another thing that you might want to do so that you avoid destroying or damaging your hair with daily washing is to bail on the shampoo everyday but instead use conditioner on a regular basis.

Moisturizing conditioners like Tru Moroccan Repair Conditioner are going to flood each and every one of your individual hair strands with all kinds of vitamins, minerals, and other essential building blocks to keep them healthy and to keep the moisture locked in. Formulated with 100% Argan oil, essential oils and herbs, Tru Moroccan’s Repair Conditioner will make your dry, coarse and frizzy hair shine in no time.

Start a routine where you shampoo every other day or every three days, but stick to conditioning every day and see what happens to the look and feel of your hair.

Test EVERYTHING

The only way to know for sure whether or not you personally can get away with washing hair everyday is to test all different combinations and track the results.

Wash your hair with shampoo and conditioner every day for a week and see what it does to your hair. The week after that, go every other day and see what happens. Finally, go an entire week without shampooing your hair even once – you’ll find that each week gives your hair a different look and feel, and you’ll know exactly how to move forward after these tests are over.

At the end of the day, it is the only way to know what washing hair everyday is going to do to you and whether or not it is smart or absolutely disastrous for the overall quality of your hair. Hopefully you have found the inside information above to be useful!
