When you wash your hair every day, you actually strip your hair of its natural oils, which causes your hair to produce more oil, instead of leaving it feeling less oily. When you wash your hair less frequently, your hair doesn't need to produce as much oil to compensate.
Some people don't wash their hair with shampoo at all anymore and instead will use methods like co-washing or by using all natural ingredients to wash their hair. Other people are not able to go that far though, so instead they cut back on the amount of times they wash it a week.
These are some ways to change that habit and make your hair healthier.1.
Dry shampoo is a powder that absorbs the excess oil from you hair. It gets rid of the oily look without actually stripping your hair of all its oils. It also means you don't have to use a blow dryer as much, leaving you with much healthier hair. To apply dry shampoo, you can use either a make up brush or a powder puff, allowing you to control the amount of powder on your scalp instead of spraying or sprinkling it on directly. Add a small amount to your roots and then comb the powder through. You can either purchase some from the store, or you can make your own. Some ideas are listed below.
DIY Dry Shampoo for Light Hair- You can mix ingredients such as arrowroot, cornstarch, and baby powder. You can add in other ingredients like oatmeal, baking soda, salt, or cornmeal, depending on how they leave your hair feeling.
DIY Dry Shampoo for Dark Hair- You can use any of the ingredients listed above, but add some cocoa powder. Use a ratio of about half and half depending on the color of your hair. Obviously darker hair may need more than a lighter brown hair.
2. If you don't like the idea of putting a powder in your hair, you could instead use the
Cheesecloth method. Simply wrap a piece of cheesecloth around your brush and comb it through your hair. The cheesecloth will absorb the excess oil in your hair without stripping it of all the necessary oils. Many stores do sell cheesecloth, believe it or not. Local stores like Walmart or large chains can carry it or it can be purchased online.
If you have longer, thicker, curlier hair, it can go longer between washes, as opposed to straight thin hair.
If you cannot handle not washing your hair on a daily basis, then avoid using Chemical-laden products. Avoid producs that contain harsh sulfates, parabens or sodium chlorine. These products will build up in your hair over time, causing damage to your hair and weigh it down.
