Cleansing (and conditioning) is a good thing — promise.
. "Shampooing removes sebum or oil that normally coats the hair shaft," says Brendan Camp, MD, a double board-certified dermatologist at MDCS Dermatology in New York. "Sebum helps keep hair soft, smooth, and pliant. But sebum is constantly produced by oil glands, and unless the hair is washed the sebum accumulates and can make hair greasy and weighed down.", MD, a board-certified dermatologist at MDCS Dermatology, echoes this.
And speaking of the scalp, keeping your scalp clean is an incredibly important factor in hair growth, as , hairstylist and colorist educator with Pureology, explains. "Washing your hair regularly promotes hair growth. This is because hair washing involves gentle scalp massaging which stimulates the hair roots and increases blood flow to your hair."After a few days of product, sweat, and grime, your hair is going to start looking and feeling a little worse for wear.
And as gross as it sounds, you want to watch out for smell, too. Dr. Camp told us if you notice a smell coming from your scalp or hair, that's a pretty good sign that you need to wash your hair. And scarily enough, "bacteria and yeast accumulate on our scalp and hair and can produce an odor as a result of breaking down naturally secreted oils on the scalp."We'd love to make it easy, but there isn't a one-size-fits-all approach to how often you should wash your hair.
