To Wash or Not to Wash?

Last year my hair stylist told me that I should not wash my hair everyday!!! My immediate response was, "that is so gross." However she continued to explain to me that the shampoo actually washes out all of the healthy oils that makes our hair shiny and beautiful. When you wash your hair too often, the scalp over compensates for its lost oils and goes into production overdrive, leaving you with greasy hair after only one day of not washing. So, the less you wash your hair the less greasy your hair will be. In addition to this, shampoo actually has a long list of chemicals, which I personally would rather like to limit as much as possible. So by the time my haircut was finished I was inspired to cut down on the amount of times I washed my hair per week.  

I must say however the transition from washing to not washing your hair is not instantaneous and is actually not that easy. When I began this endeavor, the first few days without washing my hair were excruciating. Not only did I feel a bit dirty but my hair looked and felt dirty as well. But, since I was dedicated to this experiment I stuck it out. And by the third week, my hair actually started to clean itself. Now I shower everyday but only wash my hair once every three or four days. And by only shampooing my hair every four days, the natural oils have time to make my hair look and feel amazing.

I would love to hear your thoughts on hair washing??? Would you ever try cutting down on the amount of times you wash per week?? 

Hint: A great time to start the transition from washing to not washing is on a weekend camping trip.

A Party for Your Hair!!

I thought I would follow up my last post with a bit of an explanation for the massive bow in my hair. I know that the fashionistas who follow the blog will have long known about the hair bow/knots that we have been seeing this season, but I also know that some of my readers will have wondered what was going on with the bow. 


The hair bow trend started out on the Spring Summer 2010 runways as a bit of an exaggerated bow, like the ones as seen in Marc by Marc Jacobs below. 

Have a Lovely Weekend,
