Hair care experts discuss drying techniques and washing frequency
Recent hair care insights suggest that using a hair dryer may be preferable to letting hair air-dry, as wet hair is more fragile and more susceptible to absorbing environmental pollution and dust.
While budget models are available, premium brands such as Dyson, Panasonic, Philips, and Remington offer advanced features like intelligent heat regulation, ionic functions to reduce frizz, and improved build quality. These high-end devices focus on user comfort and hair protection through precise temperature control.
Regarding washing frequency, experts note that daily shampooing may be counterproductive. Over-washing can irritate the scalp, leading to increased sebum production, itching, and hair that becomes greasy more quickly. This has contributed to the rise of the ‘low-poo’ trend, which encourages less frequent shampooing to maintain scalp health and hair texture.
