What Would Happen To Your Hair If You Don’t Wash It?

by

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you don’t wash your hair? The obvious answer, is it’ll become dirty. Yes, besides feeling nasty, there are other bad and good consequences. Furthermore, it’s recommended to wash your hair once a week, because the hair-care products usually contain damaging chemicals. So, if you stop washing your hair with shampoo, it makes sense that it ”heals.”

No More Dry Hair

You know what would happen to your hair if you don’t wash it? It will become healthier. Yes, beyond the stinky smell and the itchy scalp, your hair will recover. Believe it or not, there is a current trend starting that promotes going shampoo-free. Furthermore, experts explain that absence of shampoo leads to a nourished hair. In fact, ”Sebum, or oil, is, of course, responsible for making our hair feel greasy in between washes, but it’s also what our scalps produce to naturally hydrate our hair. ” According to certified trichologist, Guy Parson.

Color Lasts Longer

There is a reason why you are asked to refrain from using shampoo after hair-coloring. It’s mainly because shampoo’s ingredients don’t let the color stick easily. Will Francis, a colorist argues that ”colored hair is like clothes. The more you wash them, the more the color fades.” Additionally, not only the shampoo harms your color, but also water. Try getting used to showering with warm water rather than hot. Actually, heat can cause serious damage to your skin as well.

You’ll Get Shiny Hair

If you’ve been dreaming about having a shiny hair, then here is a solution for you. All the products you’ve been using is dehydrating and drying your hair. So, when you add shampoo to the mix, it’s normal to end up with a frizz every time you leave the house. Therefore, washing your hair less allows it to keep its natural oils, and therefore look healthier and stronger.

Avoid Products Buildup

Finally, if you are deciding to go shampoo-free, then it’s probably because you want to have a better hair. So, in addition to shower products, you also need to stay away from styling tools. Because without washing your hair, all the dirt from such tools stick to your scalp and causes products buildup. Instead, fortify your hair with natural ingredients and masks which should coincide with your washing days, of course.

How Can You Avoid Hair Damage During Summer?

by

Summer is great, isn’t it? Good wether, beach time, sunshine…etc. However, in order to get the best of Vitamin D, you need to be prepared to protect yourself. While skin remains our first concern (and it should be), we often neglect our hair. So what happens? At the beginning of fall, you end up with dry ends, thin and damaged hair. Just like using sunscreen to protect your from the sun, here are few things you can do to avoid hair damage during summer heat.

Don’t Shampoo Everyday

The UV rays from the sun makes hair weak and burned. So, after every beach day you use shampoo to ”wash it off.” Yet, according to research, using shampoo everyday on your hair dries it from its natural oil. This doesn’t only mean that it gets damaged, but it also makes it more susceptible to the side effects of so much sun. So, instead of using shampoo everyday, let your hair breathe. Instead, deep condition your hair after the beach/pool, so it stays clean and slightly healthier than with shampoo.

Use Sun Protection

Sun protection for your skin should go without saying. You must use the right sunscreen every time you are exposed to the sun, and not just at the beach when you tan. Unfortunately, there is still no dermatologically-proven sunscreen for hair right now, so the best alternative you have is a scarf or a hat.

Drink Lots of Fluids

One of the biggest side-effects of beach days on you, is dehydration. Your organs, skin, and hair need twice the regular water intake during the summer season. Make sure to drink over 2L of water a day, and try consuming fruits and veggies that are high on water. (Cucumber, watermelon, grapes…)

DIY Egg And Mayo Mask

One other good method to avoid hair damage in summer, is through some nutritious hair-masks. According to research, egg and mayo are the exact combo needed for healthy hair. In fact, they both have great amount of vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids and protein. Making this mask once a week will help your hair to recover, grow and stay strong.
