Talking about how to wash your hair every few days reminds people of spinach. In recent years, there have been many debates about whether spinach can supplement iron, but no one thinks that these debates have changed our lives. No one feels that he has hesitated when eating spinach. Shampooing is the same. Some people like to wash their hair once a day because of oil. Some people wash their hair once every two or three days because of dry hair. Even if the differences in natural hair quality, cities where people live and air quality are excluded, the problem of washing their hair once every few days will be affected.

Therefore, when it comes to life and health, we must understand the individual differences of the human body. Some people like radishes, while others like cabbage. Some people are not allergic to penicillin by nature, and some people have skin tests, but they are very serious. The reason why the different opinions of the two experts are put together is not to make everyone in a dilemma, but to let everyone find the direction. An expert said that it is not alarmist to wash your hair too often and get sick. It just reminds you that someone has encountered such a problem. If you have the same reaction, you should seek medical advice in time. Experts say that washing your hair every day doesn't hurt your hair. Don't be reckless. Improper washing methods can also cause some discomfort.

Let's take a look at two opinions and decide how to wash your hair according to your physical condition. After all, what suits you is the best.

Many people think that it is the best enjoyment to go to the shampoo room at night to relax after busy work during the day. Mr. Fan is a white-collar worker in a company. In addition to busy work, he will also invite customers to eat and drink. Every day, he is very busy. Long-term fatigue makes Mr. Fan used to go to the shampoo room every night to get rid of the fatigue of the day, and then go back and have a good sleep. Recently, however, Mr. Fan felt that he could not stop enjoying the relaxing enjoyment of washing his hair. He visits the shampoo room at both ends every three days, not because Mr. Fan is interested in the shampoo room, but because Mr. Fan has his own secret: if he doesn't wash his hair every other day, his scalp will itch, dandruff will increase, and sometimes he will be accompanied by hair loss.

Mr. Fan, who didn't care too much about this symptom at first, went to the hospital for dermatological treatment after being persuaded by his friends. After understanding Mr. Fan's living habits, the dermatologist seriously told Mr. Fan that his symptoms may be related to his frequent shampoo, which is medically called shampoo syndrome. Dermatologists tell people that most shampoos used in people's lives contain alkaline ingredients with strong detergency, and contact with the human body generally does not have much impact. If you contact the skin for a long time between shampooing, it will have a certain stimulating effect on the skin. In addition, in the shampoo room, when the staff massages and scratches the skin for a long time, these alkaline components can easily enter people's hair roots and hair follicles, erode people's hair, stimulate the scalp, lead to itchy scalp and increase dandruff. In severe cases, there will be symptoms of hair loss. Like Mr. Fan, these symptoms are caused by frequent shampooing, a typical frequent shampooing syndrome.

Dermatologists tell people that friends who like to patronize the shampoo room should pay attention to self-regulation, try to avoid this symptom and realize the purpose of washing their hair and relaxing. First of all, you should know your hair quality, choose high-quality shampoo according to your hair quality, and minimize the erosion of shampoo on your hair. Secondly, it is necessary to strictly control the time that shampoo stays in the head, and it is best not to exceed 5 minutes under normal circumstances to reduce the erosion of hair by alkaline components in shampoo. Third, we should learn the correct way to wash our hair, so as to gently rub it and reduce the damage to our hair. Finally, after doing all this work, you can have a long massage, close your eyes and relax for a while. Dermatologists tell people that only by walking into the shampoo room can they care for their hair and relax.

Washing your hair every day won't hurt your hair.

Hair is compared to "the second face of a person". In daily life, many people seem to have an inherent concept-"hair should not be washed every day." If you wash too much, it will lose hair and dry. " So many people have developed the habit of washing their hair once every three to five days. In fact, this concept has no scientific basis.

Because the quality of hair is directly related to heredity, nutrition, sleep, mental and systemic diseases. So, how often is it reasonable and beneficial to wash your hair? The results of scientific research show that washing your hair every day will not only damage your hair and cause hair loss, split and dryness, but also reduce the chance of hair breakage by 70%, which is more conducive to hair maintenance. The average frequency of shampooing in Europe and America is 6.4 times a week, 5 times a week in Japan and 7 times a week in Hong Kong.

Washing your hair every day can wash away excess oil on your scalp and hair, as well as dirt and dandruff attached to your hair. Frequent shampooing will not increase dandruff, but it is one of the most effective ways to control dandruff. At the same time, the shampooing process itself can also massage the scalp, promote the blood circulation of the scalp and the metabolism of scalp tissues, such as the normal secretion of sebum, and make the hair moist, smooth and shiny, which has a positive effect on hair care, hair loss prevention and premature aging prevention.

Many people think that washing your hair every day will wash off the oil on your hair and it will become dry and shriveled. In fact, the dryness and shrivel of hair are not directly related to the frequency of shampooing, but the result will be caused by choosing a shampoo that is not suitable for your hair. For example, hair that is originally dry will become drier and shriveled after using shampoo with strong degreasing and decontamination ability suitable for oily hair.

Wash your hair frequently 5 ~ 7 times a week according to the specific situation. When shampooing, rub the hair and scalp evenly and gently with your fingertips for 3 to 5 minutes, so that the shampoo and hair can be fully combined. Be careful not to scratch your hair, so as not to break or knot your hair and damage your scalp. Rinse the excess shampoo attached to the hair repeatedly with clear water, then apply conditioner, gently massage for about 3-5 minutes, then rinse repeatedly with clear water to wash off the excess conditioner. Hair conditioner can make hair smooth and shiny, and it is easy to comb and set. It is best to let your hair dry naturally after washing, and don't let the high temperature of the hair dryer hurt your hair.
