Senior Member HT-FUE Posted September 22, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted September 22, 2015 Hi I currently wash my hair with Nizoral shampoo every Sunday and the remainder 6 days I use nioxin shampoo, conditioner and scalp treatment spray. Is washing it once a day with all this too much? I was under the impression over washing your scalp is bad Any advice/help would be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member HT-FUE Posted September 22, 2015 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 22, 2015 obviously I bathed every day as a child too but my mother always used to say to me "skip the odd day from using shampoos as you're washing away all the natural oils and minerals which is bad for your scalp" I don't know if it was ever true but about 2 sometimes 3 times Id bath through the week I would avoid using shampoos and only shampoo and condition about 4-5 of the days in the week? Just to give my scalp a break. Is this true it's not great for your scalp? So don't under wash it, don't over wash it just somewhere inbetween maybe? Or is washing everyday not a problem?

Senior Member esrec Posted September 22, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted September 22, 2015 theres a chemical in many shampoos, sodium lauryl sulfate, that is taxing on your hair and strips the body and texture from it. I dont think ( or know honestly) if it has an impact beyond appearance. I've always been told that its not necessary to wash your hair in general more than a few times a week. Really, its marketing mostly, theres no science that says you need to wash daily. Some natural oils are likely good for your scalp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member gillenator Posted September 22, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted September 22, 2015 It is true that washing every day will remove the natural oils and other secretions from the scalp that help keep the scalp from drying out and the hair from becoming dried out and brittle. Washing every other day is better for the overall health of the hair and scalp IMHO. Some guys who work construction or have the type of occupation that gets their hair dirty may need to wash their hair daily to remove the dirt but other than that, there is no real benefit to washing it every day.

Senior Member HT-FUE Posted September 23, 2015 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 23, 2015 I do work in construction, So would you suggest if is ash with nizoral on the Sunday and then have a day on day off washing with and without shampoo? So if I use Nixon shampoo on Monday then just wash my hair with abit of water to remove the dirt from the scalp on Tuesday then Nixon Wednesday etc etc?

Senior Member mikeey Posted September 23, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted September 23, 2015 I dunno for sure , but I had read somewhere on Dr. Rassman , Baldingblog .... that the shampoo has no effect on the Hair as the Roots are well below the skin from where they get their Nourishment , so it is NOT a Concern even if u wash daily ... but then again its better to ask the Forum Moderators as they are better informed than me ... OR still better to ask any Recommended Doctors on this forum !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member HT-FUE Posted September 23, 2015 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 23, 2015 Thanks Ive always been under the impression washing constantly will rid the scalp of natural oils etc which isn't great for the scalp obvs, Would be nice if someone could answer my message before about one on one off with shampoo will help me sort my regime out thanks a lot guys, again lots of help and responses from this forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member HT-FUE Posted September 23, 2015 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 23, 2015 No I'll still be washing it everyday just only use water on one day, then shampoo the next then water the next then shampoo the next if that makes sense?
