Want more good hair days? Dermatologists say how you wash your hair and the products you use could go a long way in maintaining smooth, shiny hair.
"When shampooing, concentrate on cleaning primarily the scalp, rather than the entire length of the hair, as washing only your hair can create flyaway hair that is dull and coarse," said board-certified dermatologist Zoe D. Draelos, MD, FAAD. "When using a conditioner, the recommendation is different. Conditioners should only be used on the tips of the hair and not on the scalp or length of the hair since conditioners can make fine hair look limp."
To maintain healthy hair, Dr. Draelos recommends people also follow these tips:
1. Wash oily hair more frequently. How often you wash your hair should be based on how much oil your scalp produces.
o If your scalp is oily, you may need to wash it as often as once a day.
