38 Things That Should Be Washed More Or Less Than You Realize

On Seinfeld, Elain boasted that her hair was so clean you could eat off it. Um, thanks anyway? While we’re sure she meant it as a good thing, washing your hair every day isn’t healthy for it. Washing it too often strips it of its natural oils, which it needs to maintain its shine and bounce.

As your barber may have told you, washing your hair every two to three days is ideal. But, of course, all people are different, and different textures and body chemistry may call for a different schedule. So, experiment with varying lengths of time between washings to determine what works best for you.
