One of the most common haircare questions is, “How often should I wash my hair?” The truth is — there’s no single answer. It depends on your scalp type, lifestyle, and environment. In the GCC, heat, sweat, and dust make this even more important.
Signs You’re Over washing
- Dry, frizzy hair
- Itchy or tight scalp
- Excessive hair fall
- Faded color (for treated hair)
Signs You’re Under washing
- Oily scalp
- Flakes
- Product buildup
- Limp, dull hair
General Guidelines
- Oily scalp: wash every 1–2 days
- Normal scalp: wash every 2–3 days
- Dry scalp: wash every 3–4 days
- Curly hair: wash weekly
Always use a sulfate-free shampoo to avoid stripping natural oils.
Healthy hair starts with a balanced wash routine that respects your scalp’s natural microbiome.
