i ave read somewhere that shampooing the hair everyday damages the hair very much... is it true?
i usually shampoo a lot... sometimes twice a day... i must have damaged my hair a lot... well then i feel like i am lacking something in the day if i do not shampoo. how do i get rid of these thoughts?
is shampooing that much is really damaging for the hair?

I shampoo my hair everyday. So far, I have not noticed that my hair gets dry. I guess it depends on the type of hair one has. Anyway, there are certain types of shampoo that we can use in order to maintain healthy hair, even if shampoing everyday.

If your hair is oily and you're washing it daily, then that's probably part of the problem. When you constantly strip the hair of its natural oils, it produces a lot more to overcompensate. It's working overtime in the oil production to make up for what it's losing.

I shampoo my hair everyday and also I used a conditioner everyday as well.
I'm not sure that's it's bad for the hair since I'm thinking on how your going to make your hair clean withour using a shampoo. Obviously, conditioner will not work.

I have to wash my hair everyday. My hair is very oily and if I don't wash it every day it gets oily, heavy, and itchy. I have never heard that it's damaging. I hope not.

well we have to find out other ways out like putting some oil after doing the shampoo or something like that. then it may help people like us who shampoo regularly.

I don't shampoo my hair everyday, but since my hair sometimes gets greasy, I shampoo it once in every two days.

I shampoo everyday. If I don't then my hair gets really oily and I don't want to go out like that. But on the weekends I don't shampoo till Monday.

then that is a nice adaptation to keep the hairs away from the shampoos at least for a couple of days.

Our family doctor told my teenage daughters to only wash their hair twice a week.... And they have abided... their hair is in much better shape and they are happy! They still can wear it a different way each day so that helps...
the first is just natural... with a little gel, so it gives it a kinky look, then she will straighten it... then she will add some curls to make it look cute, then she might put it in a pony... but she can do so much more in between if need be... without a lot of hair product!

well it is good that they could wear different hairs on different days... but applying gel on the oily hairs... well won't that pose any problems.

Over-washing your hair strips it of its natural protective oils, so yes it's bad for it to do it too much. If you have to wash it everyday then only wash it once. I wash mine every other day and I get quite dry hair because of it. It's recommended by trichologists to wash it less often.

hi jena,
i have read about shampooing everyday as well. i think ive even seen it on the tv. like you i just cant help myself, i have to wash my hair everyday. although i just wash it once a day i cannot go out of the house and not have my hair shampooed. i have tried going out of the house and not wash my hair, and i feel that my hair is dirty. hehehe. i feel like my hair is itchy as well when i dont get to wash and shampoo my hair. i guess we just have to look for other ways to take care of our hairs then. aside from giving up the shampooing. lol
