Our scalp produces natural oils to keep hair moisturized. This makes hair oily and loose. Daily shampooing controls oiliness, but this isn't for everyone. It suits those with oily hair. Some develop dandruff, itching, or fungal infections due to excess oil and sweat. Daily shampooing can prevent these issues. For those exposed to daily pollution, shampooing helps protect hair from dirt.
Frequent shampooing removes natural oils, causing dryness and hair loss. Harsh chemicals in shampoos can irritate the scalp. Loss of moisture can lead to redness, itching, and peeling. It weakens hair.

Oily hair? Shampoo every other day to control oil. Dry or curly hair? Shampoo once or twice a week to retain moisture and reduce hair fall. Thin hair absorbs oil quickly, so wash every one or two days. Thick or coarse hair? Shampoo weekly with a sulfate-free, low-chemical shampoo.
