How Often Should You Wash Your Hair?

We all know that washing our hair is important but many of us are unsure if we're washing it correctly. Many of us feel like we’re either washing our hair too much or not washing it enough. How often you should wash your hair typically depends on the type of hair you have.

Fine Hair

Anyone who has fine hair should wash it daily or nearly every day. Since fine hair typically gets oily much faster than any other type of hair, shampooing every day is the best thing you can for it. 

Medium Hair

For those who have an in between hair texture it’s best to only wash your hair 2-3 times a week. Shampooing your hair every few days works best since this type of hair doesn't accumulate as much oil as finer hair and it can’t hide oil like thicker hair can.

Thick Hair

If you have thick hair remembering to wash it can be the least of your concerns since you only need to wash your hair about once a week. With thick hair oil buildup happens very rarely since it takes a while for oil from the scalp to travel down thick hair strands.

Natural Hair 

For those with natural hair that hasn't been permed, dyed, relaxed or chemically altered you might want to switch to the co-wash method instead of constantly shampooing your hair. The co-wash method switches out your shampoo for conditioner to help keep your hair clean without the dry out that constant shampooing does to your hair.
