Scalp health and hair washing frequency
Overview
Research and dermatological observations have highlighted the relationship between hair washing frequency and scalp health. A Procter & Gamble study involving over 1,500 participants suggested that washing hair five or six times per week may improve hair appearance and reduce scalp issues like itching, dandruff, or irritation.
Further details indicate that infrequent washing can lead to the accumulation of sebum, sweat, dead skin cells, and product residues. While sebum is a natural oil intended to protect the skin, its buildup can cause hair to appear oily, greasy, or flat. Experts note that the ideal washing frequency remains dependent on individual factors such as hair type, age, and activity levels.
