Is it healthy to wash your hair everyday?

To answer your question, no it's not healthy to wash your hair everyday. The natural oils that your head excretes helps to coat your hair and sinks in through the many layers of your hair strands to keep it healthy and strong. However this doesn't mean that you should stop washing it altogether! Washing it every other day is good for people like me with fine hair. However if you are more like my husband and have thick full hair you can go two or even three days between washings.

A couple of suggestions in trying to promote healthy hair. Lets just say that this would be your normal week for washing and taking care of your hair: On day one you would wash your hair and style however you like.

Day two you would probably put part of it in a clip or ponytail of some kind.

Day three, by now you probably need to pull all of it back into a ponytail.

Just make sure that at the beginning and ending of each day without washing you brush gently from root to ends of your hair to help the oils coat well.

On day four you can go ahead and wash and start the cycle over again.

I only suggest this cycle for people with nice full thick hair and for those of you with this nice full thick hair that don't sweat too much. As for those of us, myself included, that have finer thinner hair, it's ok to go ahead and wash every other day. Just be sure to use a shampoo and conditioner that are made to moisturize your hair.(not your scalp such as dandruff shampoo.)
