The vast majority of people tend to wash their heads every day. Their aim: to achieve perfect hair that's as shiny as it is voluminous. However, this habit is a mistake which, on the contrary, will disrupt the proper care of your hair fiber. Here's how it works.
We all tend to want Rapunzel hair too much! Perhaps you recognize yourself in this portrait, where shampooing becomes an almost systematic phase in every shower. And yet, the secret to beautiful hair lies in a good hair routine - that is, coupling conscientious brushing with an intelligent frequency of hair washing.
Spacing out your shampoos: why is it better for your hair?
In your quest for perfection, you make the mistake of washing your hair too much. Fortunately, this laudable intention is a reversible blunder. To better understand the process to follow, it's essential to know the real purpose of spacing out your shampoos in the future. First of all, to save time. As even the longest-haired know, one shampoo can extend the showering time by ten to twenty minutes, depending on the length and type of your hair. But shampooing too often - often using harsh products - also damages the scalp. The result: your hair fiber's natural production of natural oils is disrupted, and your hair rapidly regrays. Another drawback: in some cases, dandruff can appear - both flaking your scalp and leaving behind whitish fragments visible on the crown of your head and on your clothes.
Spacing out shampoos: the importance of the transition period
The remedy for rapidly greasy hair and increased flaking is simple: lift your feet and space out the frequency of your shampoos. While this may seem like a childish request, most people find it hard to stick to it and revert to their usual habits. The reason: the transition period. Underneath this obscure term lies the longest and most difficult stage of the process. Each individual reacts differently - since we are all singular beings - and so the transition period cannot be predefined for anyone. By spacing out your shampoos at a rate of 2, maximum 3 washes per week, you'll certainly have the impression of having sticky, dirty hair. However, it's important to break the vicious circle of daily washing which, contrary to popular belief, encourages the production of natural oils. Paradoxically, you'll have to wait for your hair to get used to this new rhythm to regulate the excess natural oils secreted. However, there's nothing more effective than a good daily hair-brushing ritual to prolong the cleanliness of your hair between shampoos.
