Not every two days, not every four days: how often should you wash your hair, according to a dermatologist?

 

 

Risks of spacing out washes too much, according to experts

 

Not spacing out washes can lead to sebum buildup, itching, and flaking. Dr. María Marcos points out that “this is a very common condition due to multiple causes, including frequent stress in oily skin.” Inflammation of the follicle can even cause temporary hair loss.

To care for your hair, it is advisable to choose a balancing or sulfate-free shampoo depending on sensitivity, use conditioner on the mid-lengths and ends, and apply a hair mask weekly.

Among the cosmetics mentioned are Apivita’s Royal Jelly Elixir for shine and density, and Farma Dorsch’s Root Cover as a targeted solution for concealing roots and gray hair.

In practice, small habits make a big difference: avoid very hot water, massage with your fingertips, and rinse well. Apply conditioner only from the mid-lengths to the ends and don’t sleep with wet hair.

If you’re looking for simple guidelines, maintaining your routine and washing your hair three to five times a week is usually the most balanced recommendation.
