The importance of washing your hair regularly?


We sometimes tend to believe that the more we wash our hair, the healthier our hair will be. But make no mistake, these are just preconceived ideas! When you wash your hair with shampoo every day, the cleansing agents can dry out the skin on your scalp and can sometimes make your scalp oilier as it gets used to too much washing. Getting rid of this habit is not an easy task and the greasy effect is not the desired effect that you want.

You may know that, on the contrary, not washing your hair regularly can have several consequences in addition to the greasy appearance of the hair. Lack of shampoo can also develop an odor. But, the smell is the least of your worries. Yes, dead skin cells that are not eliminated can cause feelings of itching and/or dryness . The extreme consequence? Significant hair loss. This is why the frequency of washing is essential. So, you have to find the right balance between not too little and not too much. Please note, the frequency of washing also depends on your hair type.

Frequency for dry scalp:


Did you know that a dry or very dry scalp is above all a scalp that requires care? It's a fact, dryness can cause itching. Sometimes, it can also promote the appearance of dry dandruff. (To find out everything about dandruff, visit our blog with our article How to remove dandruff ).

Frequency for oily scalps:


Did you know ? Oily scalps are known to secrete sebum excessively. Indeed, the overproduction of sebum fattens the roots and weighs down the hair and sometimes even sticks the strands together. But it's not that serious, many people suffer from this problem so don't get demoralized by it, you're really not the only one. For information, sebum is a substance secreted by the sebaceous glands which are particularly large and abundant in the scalp. We find between 400 and 900 per cm². Be careful, sebum is your enemy only when it is secreted in too large quantities. It is essential for the proper functioning of the scalp and hair!

As we have seen previously, hypersecretion of sebum strongly sensitizes the scalp, which is why people who suffer from it must adopt a hair routine that suits them. I see you coming, you will say to me: “But what should I do?” Well, Madam President therefore advises you to use a mild shampoo. In addition to this gentle shampoo, rinse your hair with a tea-based rinse, for example. OurRESOLUTION No. 2, My Organic Hair Detox Tea has powerful ingredients. Like peppermint , if you didn't know, it stimulates blood circulation and above all regulates sebum production . His little extra something? It also limits the appearance of dandruff .

You can wash your hair 2 to 3 times a week. In addition to your wash, we advise you to also use a good nourishing mask for your lengths. Our mask RESOLUTION N°6 My Nutri-active Mask will help you deeply nourish your lengths and roots.
Little tips to avoid over-greasing your hair:


  • Avoid touching or rubbing your scalp too much. In fact, the more you touch your scalp , the more quickly it will become greasy.



  • Space out the shampoos!! In fact, spacing out shampoos allows your scalp to regulate itself better. You can also alternate between different types of shampoo (gentle shampoo and moisturizing shampoo) to better regulate your hair. Finally, if you want to pamper oily hair with natural care, you can consult our tutorial on green clay .


And for normal scalps:


At Madam President we don't really like this term “normal” because what is “normal” hair? In truth it does not exist because all hair is unique and therefore none is “normal”. Even if we don't really like this term (did you understand?), “normal” hair requires less maintenance. Yes, you are one of the lucky ones who don't need to make any more effort than that to have beautiful hair. So show off your mane proudly! #self-confidence. Attention ! This does not mean that you should not take care of it. In this case, your hair is already in good health, which is why you must maintain this vigor.
