Hair washing
How often do you wash your hair? I have heard washing it too much can be bad, especially with all the chemicals that are in shampoos these days! I have a brand called 'organic care' at the moment, it's one of the cheaper shampoo's and conditioners and smells naturally delicious!
I read somewhere that there is a natural way in washing hair which includes baking soda, a raw egg and lemon juice! - sounds gross to me. Has anyone ever tried this?
I also read that although you can wash your hair too much, washing it not enough can allow bacteria to build up, provoke an allergic reaction and cause your head to break out in acne!!
Frequent shampooing can also be a counterproductive. Because you're trying so hard to get rid of sebum, your body reacts by producing even more of it. This is interesting because I have found if you wash your hair heaps, it gets oily much quicker!! I remember they did a study and people didn't wash their hair for AGES, and it was interesting in what happened - one persons hair got VERY oily, but then went back to normal?!
I had a friend who use to wash their hair like twice daily - i personally think this is ridiculous - I also have another friend that washes their hair once a week! I guess it really depends on the individual?
