What happens when you wash your hair?
When you wash your hair, you stimulate blood circulation in the scalp by massaging the scalp. This is how your skin starts producing more sebum. We also have shampoosespecially for oily haira drying effect on the scalp. But what happens to dry scalp? It begins to produce new sebum particularly quickly. The end result is that your hair will become even greasier than before. So the more you wash, the worse it gets.
How does hair degreasing work?
Many beauty magazines claim that if you leave your hair greasy for a while, you will need to wash it less often in the long run and that problems caused by washing your hair too often, such as split ends and breakage, should improve. If you don't wash your hair for a while, the sebaceous glands won't have to produce as much oil. This means your hair doesn't get too greasy.
What advantages does this method bring?
Basically, the biggest advantage is that after degreasing, you won't have to wash your hair as frequently as before because oil production will normalize. Other advantages include:
- Not washing your hair for a while allows it to recover from all the chemical compounds that shampoos and beauty products usually contain.
- The scalp is also relieved if no chemical products are used for a while.
- The fat is useful because it forms a protective film on the hair.
How long do you have to let your hair grease?
How can you properly grease your hair? If you don't wash your hair for 2 weeks, you will leave it sufficiently greasy. Not washing your hair for more than two weeks is not healthy because it causes too much sebum and dirt to build up on the scalp and can lead to eczema and rashes. You can use this technique gradually, gradually extending the periods and not opting for 2 weeks without washing your hair from the start.
What are the disadvantages of greasing?
There are also some disadvantages to not washing your hair regularly.
- If you don't wash your hair for longer than usual, it will no longer look as beautiful and shiny. It then looks flat and dirty. In such cases, you can wear hats or hairbands.
- If your hair isn't washed for a long time, dirt and sebum build up on the scalp, which can cause irritation and eczema. So, don't overdo it!
