What does shampooing everyday do, and is it good or bad?

I've always wondered bout this because some people say they shampoo every other day.What does shampooing everyday do, and is it good or bad?
It depends on a variety of things; mostly what type of hair you have.





If you have straight-ish hair, your hair will most likely get oiler alot faster than someone who does not, therefore, you'll need to wash more often.





If you have wavy-curly-kinky hair, you can go a lot longer without shampooing. That doesn't mean you should, though. Once a week is fine, and every 2 weeks should be the absolute limit. There are many curly-heads who just skip shampoo, and ';wash'; with conditioner, since it's non-drying, and the purpose is simply to clean one's scalp.





Also, it depends on the type of shampoo you use. If you use a shampoo with sulfates in it, it will dry your hair out, and dry hair is bad. It breaks, splits, etc. If your shampoo is moisturizing, or is sulfate-free, you can afford to shampoo often, which will leave your scalp clean, and this is good. A clean scalp promotes hair growth.What does shampooing everyday do, and is it good or bad?
it depends on the climate/weather etc... where you live in.


If you happen to live in southeast asia (where i do) and you perspire every day and don't wash your hair, imagine how greasy and itchy it would be! So i wash my hair everyday. However, i guess if you happen to live somewhere colder it's fine to wash every other day.
I know washing your hair everyother day sounds gross but its actually ALOT better!!





if you wash every single day eventually it starts washing out the natural oils in your hair that keep it nice and soft and healthy!





what i do is...shampoo and condition one day and then just shower but dont wash my hair the next day..and the third day just wash with conditioner ...and just stick with that! it makes your hair so soft and pretty! :D
Shampooing everyday dries your hair out. Not necessarily bad but I wouldn't recommend it unless your hair is really really oily.
Yep, washing it every day dries it out. There are dry shampoos you can use that absorb the dirt/oil so it's not so ';gross'; to wait an extra day.
Ew. Not shampooing daily is simply gross. It cleans your hair.


It does dry it out, but that's what conditioner is for. Use it.
It always depends on what ethnicity you are too. It could be a good thing if you have a hair condition like dandruff. So it varies from person to person.
