Hair 101 - Cleansing

You've heard in thousands of times, DON'T wash your hair everyday! The natural oils in your hair are super important to keep your hair healthy. Bu washing you're hair everyday, your stripping the oils out of your hair, causing dry, dull hair. Later, it causes oily hair because your hair trys to replenish the oils. My tip is, wash your hair every other day, at the most. The longer you go without washing your hair the better. I'm not telling you never to wash your hair, I'm telling you to wash it less often. You can use dry shampoo in between washes, if you don't have, baby powder or foot powder are goo alternatives. Also, buy shampoos and conditioners that are sulfate free. Sulfate strips your hair from the natural oils. Sulfate is put into shampoos because many people thing the more it lathers, the better it cleans. That is not true, sulfate just drys out your hair. Sometimes, even shampoos without  sulfate can be harsh, especially on colored hair, what I suggest is using a cleansing conditioner like Hair One or Wen. Wen is more on the pricey side, ill put a link at the bottom if you want to check it out. Hair One is more like a cheaper version of Wen (Ill put a link for that as well). The both do the same thing, the difference is that Wen is for all hair types while Hair One has different types for diffident hair.
