Earth Month: #NoWashDay

Styling tips for #NoWashDay and tips on how to maintain your hair and scalp health so you can beautiful hair on your #NoWashDay.  

Let’s break down some of the information around one of our commonly asked questions, “How often should I wash my hair?”. The frequency of shampooing varies based on factors like hair type, scalp condition, and personal preference. Some people may need to shampoo daily, while others can go several days between washes. As a general guideline, aim to wash your hair when it starts to feel greasy or dirty. Over washing can strip the hair of natural oils, leading to dryness and potential scalp issues, while infrequent washing can result in buildup and discomfort. Scalp health is critical in order to go a day or two without washing your hair. When you don’t shampoo everyday, but you are still using product on your hair to refresh your look on #NoWashDay product can buildup, especially on your scalp. 

Finding the right schedule and products for you may take some trial error.

Here are some tips and product suggestions for you to try. 

Use a Clarifying Shampoo once a week or shampoo 2x: 

1. Removes Buildup: Clarifying shampoos effectively remove product buildup, hard water minerals, and excess oils from the hair and scalp, leaving it feeling clean and refreshed. 

2. Restores Shine: By eliminating residue, clarifying shampoos can restore the natural shine and vibrancy of the hair, making it appear healthier. 

3. Improves Scalp Health: Regular use of clarifying shampoos can help maintain a healthy scalp by removing impurities that can clog pores and lead to issues like dandruff or itchiness. 

4. Enhances Styling: Clean hair allows styling products to work more effectively, so using a clarifying shampoo periodically can optimize the performance of your styling routine. 

5. Prevents Product Buildup: Using a clarifying shampoo once a week or bi-weekly prevents product buildup, ensuring that styling products continue to work effectively without weighing down the hair or causing dullness. 

Styling Tips for a "No Wash" Hair Day:

3. Heat Protectant: If you are going to use hot tools to refresh your style it is important to reapply a heat protectant product. 

4. Maintaining Scalp Health: Using a scalp refreshing mist helps slightly cleanse the scalp in between shampoos. Products like Aveda’s Scalp Solutions Scalp Refreshing Mist or Bumble and bumble’s Tonic Primer will cleanse and nourish the scalp.  

5. Hair Accessories: Incorporate headbands, scarves, or hair clips to distract from any greasiness at the roots. 

6. Braids or Updos: Braiding or styling your hair into an updo can camouflage greasiness and add visual interest to your hair. 

7. Hats or Beanies: If all else fails, a stylish hat or beanie can cover up unwashed hair while adding flair to your outfit but honestly this should be your last resort ;).
