How often do you wash your hair in winter? If you don't wash it all day in winter, the top of your head will shine with oil. If you wash it, you will be afraid to wash it more and more. A survey shows that more than 60% of people think their hair is more oily than before. Oil and dandruff are the main reasons why they wash their hair frequently. How often does it take to wash your hair? Does daily washing lead to hair loss?
Does shampoo lose hair every day?
Probably in many people's cognition, this is a certain fact.
In fact, there is no scientific basis for this concern. There is not a lot of evidence that washing your hair every day can hurt your hair and lead to dryness.
No matter whether you wash your hair every day or not, as long as you use the right method, it will not damage the hair, but also stimulate the normal secretion of sebaceous glands, maintain and adjust the balance of sebum, so that the hair is full of luster and elasticity.
On the contrary, excessive sebum can easily cause the accumulation of dirt and dandruff, block the hair follicle and sebaceous gland, affect the normal secretion of sebum, hinder the absorption of nutrition at the root of hair, make the hair dry and yellow, and even cause hair loss.
How often do you wash your head?
Even if there is no harm in washing your hair every day, you don't need to wash it every day. Each person's specific situation is different, the frequency of shampoo should be determined by season and hair quality.
Summer and oily hair:
If you are used to washing your hair every day, or if you don't wash your hair, you will produce too much oil. You can wash your hair once a day.
But even if it's washed every day, you don't need to use shampoo and conditioner as soon as you wash your hair. You can wash it with clear water the next day as the case may be. It can also remove stains from hair and scalp, but it will not aggravate the secretion of oil.
Neutral or dry hair:
The frequency of hair cleaning can be adjusted to 3-4 times a week.
Did you choose the right shampoo?
Compared with daily shampoo, choosing the right shampoo is more critical.
More hair oil: it is recommended to use products with strong cleaning ability instead of those with moisturizing or repairing functions.
Hair oil in general: only choose shampoo with double effects of hair care and oil control.
Few oil or even dry: choose products with nutrition and strong hair care function.
Scalp pruritus, dandruff: if there is dandruff or even scalp pruritus, choose products with effective antifungal ingredients.
10 Mistakes in Shampoo
One
Wash without combing
When washing hair, it is very important to clean the scalp. If washed directly, the dust and dirt on the scalp will adhere to it and cannot be thoroughly cleaned.
Suggestion: before shampooing, comb your hair with a comb with wide teeth and round hair, and then rinse it with clean water. It can not only reduce the amount of shampoo, but also reduce the stimulation to the scalp.
Two
Shave the scalp with your fingernails
Many people feel comfortable scratching their scalp with their fingernails when they wash their hair. As we all know, there are many bacteria hidden in nails. Once the scalp is scratched, it is easy to cause skin diseases such as folliculitis.
Suggestion: when washing hair, draw a circle, gently massage the scalp with your finger pulp, and smooth the hair.
Three
Shampoo your hair before it gets wet
As soon as the hair is wet, apply shampoo, which will cause incomplete cleaning or knotting, leaving dirt, dandruff and other residues in the hair.
Suggestion: rinse for about 1 minute before applying shampoo.
Four
Shampoo directly on your head
Many people want to be quick and easy. They just put shampoo on their hair. Because shampoo does not fully contact with water and directly contact with scalp without saponification, it will not only stimulate scalp, but also cause abnormal hair loss for a long time.
Suggestion: pour shampoo on palm, add water to foam and smear it on the hair. Not only will the foam be rich, but also the hair will be cleaned more cleanly.
Five
Apply conditioner to scalp
Hair conditioner is specially for hair cleaning products. If it is applied to the scalp, the chemicals in it will easily block the hair follicle and cause hair loss and other problems.
Suggestion: apply conditioner at least 1-2cm away from the scalp, and apply it to the hair tip near the ear.
Six
Hair conditioner stays too long
The application time of hair conditioner is too long, not only can't have the effect of hair conditioner, but also can easily make it remain in the hair, not easy to clean, causing hair loss and other problems.
Suggestion: after applying conditioner, wring out the towel soaked in hot water, let it cool for a few seconds, then wrap the hair, and rinse it after 3 minutes. In this way, the conditioner can be absorbed by the hair better and the damaged hair can be repaired.
Seven
Rinse the hair with strong water column (sparse part of hair)
Hair rotation is the most closely connected 'core zone' between hair and scalp. If the hair is washed with strong water column, it is easy to damage the scalp, accelerate hair falling, and even cause alopecia areata.
Suggestion: when washing the hair, the water flow should be slow, and the washing time should not be too long in the hair rotation and sparse position.
Eight
Wash your hair with superheated water
Many people who have more dandruff and itchy scalp like to wash their hair with warm water, and feel that the effect of dandruff removing and itching relieving is better.
In fact, too high water temperature is easy to take too much oil in the scalp, which will not only damage the hair quality, but also make the scalp produce oil and dandruff more serious.
Suggestion: the water temperature for hair washing should be 40 ℃.
Nine
Washing is not clean
Some people think it's OK to wash their hair, it doesn't matter if they leave some conditioner, it can also moisturize their hair. In fact, the residual conditioner is easy to adhere to dust and other debris, adhere to the hair or even the scalp surface, block pores, and cause inflammation.
Suggestion: shampoo must pay attention to the final washing work, wash the hair clean and thoroughly.
Ten
Use the blower directly after washing
In order to dry the hair quickly, some people will directly use the hair dryer after washing, which will damage the hair scales, make the water loss, and make the hair yellow and dry.
Suggestion: dry your hair naturally after washing. If you have to blow dry as soon as possible, you'd better choose cold wind to reduce the damage, and keep the hair dryer 15 cm away from the hair.
Finally, experts remind us that we must ensure enough sleep, regular work and rest, and eat less high-fat, high calorie and spicy food in our daily life. We need to exercise more, keep a good attitude and avoid being too nervous.
