According
to a recent study, women spend an average of 15 minutes on makeup, 18 minutes
dressing and a whopping 40 minutes on hair.
(10 minutes washing and conditioning, 15 minutes drying and 15 minutes
styling) That’s about 243 hours per year
for those that shampoo on a daily basis but is it really necessary?
Stylists recommend
shampooing no more than every other day, especially for those with thin, fine
hair that has a tendency to become oily.
Over washing can irritate the hair follicles and increase oil
production, thus skipping a day or two can decrease oil production over time.
Thick haired mavens also
need to be weary of over shampooing since it takes more time for the scalp’s
natural oils to travel down the hair shaft.
If you have thick hair, be sure to brush from root to ends on a daily
basis which will aid in distributing natural oils evenly.
A “must have” for most
beauty experts, dry shampoo originated in the 60’s has become one of the
trendiest beauty products on the market allowing users to de-grease hair while
infusing volume and texture. Not only does
dry shampoo allow you to extend the life of your blow-out, some users reported
that their hair style actually looked better on the day they opted to skip
shampooing and use dry shampoo instead.
