I knew that question would get your attention. What’s your routine? Are you an every day girl? Every other? Could you ever go 3 days?
Several years ago a hairdresser recommended I stop washing my hair every day. I was sure I’d look like a greasy mess. So I went to my most trusted source, my girl friends. I asked a few how often they washed their hair. Most said every day, a few said every other.
Well, I have a confession to make….I only wash my hair twice a week. Are you thinking I’m gross. Think again. My hair is healthier, fuller, has more shine AND my (ahem) color last longer than ever before. {I suppose that was two confessions. But hey, when you are 40, you’d be hard pressed to find a brunette that doesn’t color her hair!}
This topic comes up all the time with girl friends now. I really think the trick is getting over the hump. Give it 2-3 weeks. I truly believe that washing your hair less frequently will give you more volume and shine. Of course not every one can go 3-4 days. Some people have drier hair follicles than others, those gals can go longer. Try it! Let me know what your results are!
Here are the products that I swear by to help make it possible. They are pricey, but when you only use them 2x/week they last for months.
Kérastase Bain Age Recharge Shampoo
Kérastase Age Recharge Conditioning Masque
My trick to getting away with not washing my hair every day is using Ojon Rub-Out Dry Cleansing Powder (I buy it at Sephora). And it actually adds body and smells wonderful. My 10 year old daughter uses it on occasion, too.
I was hoping someone would recommend a good dry shampoo. Thanks Wendy!
