Recently, some @bbb participants drew the public’s attention to the frequency of showers they take in the house. There were even those who went almost a week without washing their hair! But after all, is that bad?

According to @vivianetricologista, this varies greatly from person to person. And it depends on the texture of the wires, in addition to the region where each one lives. “Oily strands need frequent cleaning because they produce more sebum in less time. Drier hair, on the other hand, can be cleaned at slightly longer intervals. There are even those who go a week without washing without any problems.”

However, what is recommended for most people is alternate days. “In the case of very dry hair, two days without cleaning are worth it. Especially because the head absorbs pollution, dust and waste from the environment”, says the specialist. Remembering that the lack of bath can cause scalp problems, such as itching, wounds and even seborrheic dermatitis.
