Many people wonder how often they should wash their hair, especially as they age and notice changes in texture, dryness, or scalp sensitivity. Dermatologists generally recommend washing hair three to five times per week, though the exact frequency depends on individual needs.
The goal of washing isn’t just clean hair—it’s a healthy scalp. Oil, sweat, and styling products can build up over time, affecting comfort, appearance, and scalp balance. Regular cleansing helps remove this buildup while maintaining overall hair health.
