Is it bad to wash your hair every day?

Is it bad to wash your hair every day? I heard that it's really bad for your hair. My hair gets really greasy if I don't wash it, so what should I do?

It is totally safe to wash your hair every day, as long as you use a mild shampoo and a conditioner. Washing hair gets rid of all the natural oils that your hair has, but when you use a conditioner, you replace those good-for-you oils your scalp and locks need to stay gorgeous.

If you’d rather not wash your hair every day, try using a dry shampoo to absorb the grease. An inexpensive option is baby powder. Sprinkle a little on your scalp, wait for a minute or two, then shake it out. Your hair should have a freshly brushed look without you having to hop in the shower.
