What is the ideal frequency for washing curly hair?
It all depends on your nature…
Whether wavy, frizzy, kinky or curly, our hair all has specific needs and there is, unfortunately, no single, definitive answer to this question. Due to its structure, straight hair, for example, appears greasier, more quickly. Conversely, curly hair with its open scales tends to dry out and become brittle. Based on this observation, we can determine several ideal frequencies depending on the nature of your hairstyle. Frizzy hair can be washed without any problem every two weeks, or even just once a month. On the other hand, wavy or curly hair will probably require a weekly shampoo instead.
And also your lifestyle!
The nature of your hair is not everything when it comes to defining the ideal gap between two shampoos. Indeed, our lifestyle also has an important role to play. If you regularly exercise indoors or outdoors, perspiration leads to excess sebum production. Similarly, frequent use of styling products deposits residue on the surface of the hair that should be removed from time to time with a good shampoo.
The ideal is to finally learn to listen to your head and observe yourself carefully. Is your hair becoming dull, dry and breaking? You must interpret these signals and tell yourself that it is time to wash it!
