I am washing and conditioning every day. Is this to much, I am just worried about the hair folicles getting cloged. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks
Personally I think every day sounds a bit excessive, but I suppose it depends on your hair.
I wash my hair every other day usually, and sometimes stretch it an extra day, but by that time I really need it cleaned.
Some people go longer than me, without problems.
It depends on whether or not you are particularly prone to yeast infections (not in a scruffy way, some people just are). I have seborrheic dermatitis which is like eczema crossed with dandruff, so i need to wash everyday to keep my scalp immaculate, I am also very sensitive to leave-in/styling products so they have to washed out too... my hair is not greasy the next day, I just wash it really to clean my scalp, which is very sensitive, and quite bitchy about certain things. So to anwser your question, unless you are prone to dandruff you dont need to wash everyday, unless your hair is greasy of course. Also your hair follicles produce the same about of oil no matter if you wash or dont, so you cant make your hair get greasy quicker by washing.
I was my hair atleast every day. I have very oily hair. It really depends on how much oil you hair generates. I mean sometimes, but 4 or 5 o'clock I can feel the oil. It's gross. On those days I wash twice, although I don't think that this is the norm.
