My cousin told me that is not good to shampoo our hair everyday, especially to men. Well, is there any side effects of doing such thing. What about you guys? How often you shampoo your hair. I do it everyday with mine... I use Head and Shoulders (refreshing menthol, the green one). What about you?

there are lots of shampoos with strong chemicals so i guess ill mention mild shampoos instead, like baby shampoos and ivory. the rest contains strong chemicals.

I shampoo my hair everyday because I am a cleansing freak. If I don't do it one day, I would feel not very re-freshing. But it's true that if you wash it too often, it would take away the natural oils on the scalp making it and the hair dry. So if you can't stand doing it every other day, you'd better invest in some good natural or organic shampoos. There are some which specifics for daily use and those are milder in the cleansing functions and won't do harsh on the scalp and hair and I notice that in the long-run, it makes hair healthier. I can't use head & shoulder myself. I used it some time ago and it was way too strong for me and making me have dandruff!

I would not feel refreshing if I don't shampoo my hair too. Could you tell me what are those natural/organic shampoos? Using different shampoo other than H and S make me have dandruff... we're opposite. Thanks for your response.

No, I only wash mine every second or third day, apparently it strips the natural oils in your hair.

Oh really? If not using head & shoulder would make you have dandruff, you should better stick with it. LUSH cosmetics have some really nice shampoo bars and they are pretty natural, you can check out the brand.

Did you ask your cousin to let you know the side effects? As for me i think its a concentrated chemical and should be treated as such everyday usage should be reduced.

I shampoo my hair once every three days, I wash my hair with my shampoo on the first day of the three days, then for a consecutive of two days, I use conditioners, then back on the first of three days I would use shampoo again I repeat these routine for a whole month, then I dont use any shampoo or conditioner for two days then I repeat the whole process once more, I think using shampoo everyday could cause harmful effects to our hairs

I dont know if its a good idea to shampoo our hair every day. I shampoo my hair usually twice a week. My mom used to say all the time that it wasnt good to wash your hair everyday.
