How Often Should You Wash Your Hair? The frequency of hair washing varies from person to person, depending on factors such as hair type, lifestyle, and personal preference. While some people may feel the need to wash their hair daily, others find that washing less frequently works better for them. 

Choosing the right shampoo and conditioner is the first step to getting your hair healthy. A healthy scalp = healthy hair.  Try our clean herbal shampoo with aloe and cactus. All hair types can benefit from this formula made without any parabens or sulfates. So, how often should you wash your hair? Let's break it down:

  • Hair Type:
    • Oily Hair: If you have oily hair, you may need to wash it more frequently, perhaps every other day or every two days, to remove excess oil and maintain a fresh look. Try our herbal deep conditioner with cactus and aloe.
    • Dry Hair: On the other hand, if you have dry hair, washing it less often, such as two to three times a week, can help retain natural oils and prevent further dryness. Try our moroccan argan oil deep conditioner.
    • Normal Hair: For those with normal hair, washing every two to three days is typically sufficient to keep your hair clean without stripping away essential oils. Try our herbal deep conditioner with cactus and aloe.
    • Curly/Kinky Hair types: For those with textured hair ranging from 1a to 4c washing every 7-10 days will help maintain moisture and a healthy scalp. Or if you lead a more active lifestyle every 4-5 days. Try our iNatural line for wavy, curly and kinky hair.  Enriched with moringa, certified organic jojoba, coconut oils and shea butter.
  • Lifestyle Factors:
    • Exercise: If you lead an active lifestyle and engage in regular exercise, you may need to wash your hair more frequently to remove sweat and build-up from styling products.
    • Environmental Factors: Exposure to pollutants, humidity, or harsh weather conditions may also influence how often you need to wash your hair. In such cases, consider washing more frequently to keep your hair clean and healthy.
  • Personal Preference:
    • Ultimately, the decision of how often to wash your hair comes down to personal preference. Pay attention to how your hair looks and feels, and adjust your washing frequency accordingly.

Preserving Your Blowout: A blowout can leave your hair looking sleek, shiny, and perfectly coiffed. However, preserving that blowout can be a challenge, especially if you want to extend its longevity between washes. Here are some tips to help you make your blowout last longer:

  • Hair Oil Every Night:
    • Before going to bed, apply a small amount of hair oil, such as moroccan argan oil, thinning hair oil or iNatural conditioning oil, to the mids and ends of your hair. This helps to hydrate and nourish your hair, as well as seal the cuticles, preventing frizz and maintaining smoothness.
    • Focus on applying the oil to the areas that tend to become dry or frizzy, such as the ends of your hair.
  • Satin Bonnet:
    • Wearing a satin bonnet while you sleep will protect your hair and keep it silky and smooth. Unlike cotton pillowcases, which can cause friction and lead to frizz and breakage, satin helps to maintain moisture and smoothness in your hair.
    • Simply slip on the satin bonnet before going to bed to keep your blowout intact and extend its lifespan.

Maintaining healthy hair and preserving a blowout require a combination of proper care, attention to detail, and the right products and techniques. By understanding how often you should wash your hair based on your hair type and lifestyle, and implementing strategies such as using hair oil every night and wearing a satin bonnet, you can keep your locks looking fabulous for days on end. Experiment with different approaches to find what works best for you, and enjoy the confidence that comes with great-looking hair, every day.
