Not Washing Hair Increases Its Growth – Myth or Truth
Some people will probably be disappointed to hear this, but no, this is not true. It isn’t to say that frequent shampooing can’t damage your hair. However, it cannot increase hair growth if you don’t wash your hair. In fact, if you don’t wash your hair regularly, side effects may occur.
In order to get to the bottom of it, let’s take a look at how shampoos work. They trap oils, as well as dirt and different product residue from the scalp. Our body naturally produces the oil called sebum which is necessary for hair moisturizing. Without it, your hair will become dry. Too much shampoo can definitely lead to dryness, especially if you use very strong shampoos.
On the other hand, not using shampoos for a long period of time (more than 7 days) may cause your hair to shed more. Also, your hair won’t grow any faster than it normally would.
If you’re worried about the quality of your hair, there are a few things you can do to improve it.
- Use gentle shampoos
Try to avoid shampoos with lots of chemicals that will make it dry.
- Use hair masks
If your hair is prone to breakage, you may use a moisturizing mask.
- Find a balance in shampooing
People wash their hair every 2-3 days on average. If you use gentle shampoo, this can be a good option. Some say that they wash their hair once in 7 days, but this doesn’t work for everybody.
The final choice is always yours. You know what suits your hair, so you can decide on the washing frequency. However, it’s not true that not washing your hair helps it grow, as there is no evidence to support this.
