How often should i wash my hair?

Don't wash hair more than once a day as you will strip away all the natural protection that helps to make it look thick and shiny.

If your hair is coloured or permed, a specially formulated shampoo will gently cleanse it and won't strip the colour out.

Volumizing shampoos contain proteins that bond with your hair. Avoid using them all the time as they can leave a residue, which builds up, making hair look dull and dragging it down.

Highlight-enhancing shampoos and conditioners can make grey hair look shiny and help avoid the yellow tint that grey hair can sometimes acquire.

Acidic, clarifying shampoos containing ingredients such as lemon juice or vinegar help to strip away the residue that builds up from your normal hair products. These are ideal to use before applying an intense conditioner or before a salon treatment.

It used to be a common myth that washing your hair to often would make it oily. Leading trichologists now argue the opposite.
