How Often To Shampoo Hair?

One question most men ask is how often should I shampoo my hair? Would shampooing cause hair growth or hair loss? Firstly, you should understand the problem that you are facing with respect to your hair. If you are facing hair loss due to dandruff, you better shampoo!

Regular use of shampoo can help prevent dandruff. If your hair loss is due to dandruff, the hair loss will end with the use of a shampoo. If your hair loss is due to other reasons, I'd not recommend using shampoo very often. Shampoo is good for dandruff because it acts as a disinfectant. And, use of chemicals too often on your scalp is not good for hair growth.

What shampoo to use and how

If you are hell bent on using a shampoo, I'd recommend using a mild, herbal shampoo. Some people have the habit of leaving the shampoo on their scalp for a long time. This habit is best avoided. Apply shampoo on wet hair, massage on scalp gently and rinse thoroughly. This is how you should use a shampoo. Using shampoo too often and leaving them on your scalp for too long can weaken your hair roots.

Instead of shampoos, you can use home-made preparations like green gram powder, groundnut powder, or thaali. Thaali is available in most Indian shops. If the hair oil you use is good enough, you won't even need a shampoo. I'll write another post soon telling you how to prepare the best hair oil at home. These herbal preparations clean your scalp, nourish your hair without causing any damage.
