Does anyone else plan their social life around their hair-washing schedule?
The most common conversation at Scott Miller is about how often you should be washing your hair. How often you shampoo your hair probably depends on your hair type and lifestyle. I spent a year as a platinum blonde and I would go up to 2 weeks without washing (don’t judge.) Now, my roots are virgin hair and I produce oil by the next day. With the help of dry shampoo, I don’t feel like I “need” to wash my hair every day.
If you’re a daily shampooer, this is your reality check. So to answer this burning question, we reached out to Alex Miller at Scott Miller. “On average, someone should try to go at least every other day. It helps the scalp rebalance and also is less drying for the hair. Depending on the thickness and texture of the hair, some people should and can go longer,” she says. “Dry shampoo is a must-have. It helps dry cleanse the hair but also absorbs any oils.”
There is a simple solution for going longer in between washes and that is using the right products. Keep scrolling to learn more and to find the best products to prolong your washes.
