Why it’s bad to wash your hair too often
Just as with your skin, excess sebum along with impurities can build up on the scalp. And, while it’s important to remove these, washing your hair in excess can upset your scalp’s microbiome balance.
If you haven’t heard of it before, a microbiome is a community of microorganisms that exist on areas of the body including your scalp and that work together to keep your scalp healthy. A change in the microbiome balance can result in bacteria taking over and your scalp becoming inflamed.
So, to keep maintain a healthy scalp and hair, let’s find out how often you should wash your hair:
Hair care for dry or damaged hair
The advice is that people with dry hair should wash their hair a maximum of two times a week. Any more than this and the hair could become damaged. To keep your dry hair in tip-top condition we recommend using Vichy Dercos Kera Solutions Resurfacing Shampoo. Enriched with 2% Pro Keratin Complex, Vichy Dercos Kera Solutions Resurfacing Shampoo works to nourish dry or damaged hair.
Hair care for oily and greasy hair
An overproduction of sebum by the sebaceous glands in the scalp is the cause of oily hair. People with oily or greasy hair need to wash their hair more often than those with dry hair - maybe every other day for some. To fully cleanse your oily hair, use Vichy Dercos Oil Control Shampoo. Formulated with Vichy Mineralizing Water and enriched with a UV filter , Vichy Dercos Oil Control Shampoo thoroughly cleanses your hair and gets to grip withexcess oil levels.
Hair care for mature hair
One of the effects of ageing is that your hair can become thin, and some people can experience increased hair fall. To reduce the appearance of increased hair fall and hair thinning, use Vichy Dercos Energising Shampoo that’s enriched with key actives Vichy’s patented molecule Aminexil, in combination with Vitamins B3, B6 and Provitamin B5.
Gently massageVichy Dercos Technique into wet hair and rinse thoroughly - use as often as required.
Hair care for curly hair
Curly hair doesn’t tend to be oily and that’s due to the shape of the curl. Oil that’s realised by the sebaceous glands in the scalp, travels down your hair strands during the day. With curly hair the oil travels more slowly than it does with other hair types. But this means it can build up on the scalp, so it’s advisable to wash your curly every 2-3 days, or more if you can get away with it. To keep your curly hair looking and feeling luscious use Vichy Dercos Oil Control Shampoo.
