How often do you shampoo your hair? Of course this is a rhetorical question that a lot of people have been asking themselves for a while now.
Many are wondering if they will regrow hair if they shampoo more often, or lose it.
This article is going to cover a few key points that you must know in order to help you make a better decision about how often you shampoo, the kinds you use, and if it can lead to baldness.
First of all you should know that many commercial shampoos are designed to help get rid of dirt and oil effectively, but they are packed with chemicals that can lead to thinning of your hair.
While I won't go into any specific name brands, just know that most contain sodium laureth sulphate, a degreasing agent.
This is placed in them to get rid of dirt and oil but it leads to thin hair with continued use.
There's a way around this.
Look for purchasing herbal shampoos such as the ones that are made with green tea extract, aloe vera, saw palmetto, and various other herbs.
They will do a lot of good for your hair without causing it to become thin or break off.
Now to answer the big question of shampooing your hair causing baldness.
If you shampoo your hair too much then you may be causing yourself to lose some of it.
Your hair needs certain oils in order to grow properly.
Shampooing every day is over doing it and will wash away many of the natural oils that you must have.
A much better approach would be to shampoo every other day, perhaps three times a week.
This will allow your scalp to recover and build up the needed oils for your hair to properly go through the hair growth cycle.
