Scalp hygiene is key to healthy-looking hair. Experts agree that the ideal frequency is usually between three and five washes per week, depending on hair type and lifestyle. Washing your hair regularly prevents buildup, unpleasant odors, and facilitates any subsequent hair treatments.
Dermatologist Alex Docampo denies that washing hair frequently increases oiliness: “Many people think that washing their hair a lot is bad because it damages it, or that paradoxically, washing it more often produces more sebum and makes the hair dirtier, but this is completely false.” The important thing is to adapt your hygiene routine to your scalp.
Should you wash your hair 3 to 5 times a week?
This range of washes promotes the removal of sebum and product residue, improves follicle oxygenation, and reduces the risk of irritation. It also helps control odor and the proliferation of fungi and bacteria in warm environments. Each scalp will require adjustments depending on physical activity and climate.
The Hair Surgical Institute explains: “The frequency of hair washing can vary depending on different individual factors, such as hair type, daily activities, scalp condition, use of hair products, and hairstyles.” Therefore, the routine should be adapted to each person’s daily life.
