How Often Should You Wash Your Hair?
Most people assume there’s a “right” number of days to wash their hair, but science says it’s far more personal and far more surprising. How often you should wash depends on a hidden mix of factors like your hair type, age, genetics, activity level, and even how much oil your scalp naturally produces. Wash too often and you may be stripping your scalp of what it actually needs. Wash too little and buildup can quietly trigger irritation, dandruff, or worse. The sweet spot isn’t daily for most people and it’s not the same for everyone. This breakdown explains what’s really happening on your scalp, how sebum works, and the subtle signs that tell you whether you’re washing too much, too little, or just right.
Healthy Fact of the Day: Allowing yourself moments of boredom can actually benefit your brain. When your mind is not constantly stimulated, it has space to rest, process information, and spark creativity. These quiet moments can improve problem solving, emotional regulation, and overall mental clarity.
