No poo, cure of sebum ... We hear more and more often say that it is important to space shampoos in order to naturally rebalance his scalp, especially if this one tends to re-grease quickly. Idea light or simply received?

To disentangle the truth from the false, we asked two capillary experts for their opinion.

Wash your hair every day? Nothing very serious ...

For Stéphane Weyl, head of the Fabio Salsa training, the rule that you should not wash your hair every day is simply not one . "On the contrary, when the sebaceous glands do not properly fulfill their role and are disrupted - they then produce too much sebum - it is important to clean the area daily to avoid other discomforts: desquamation, itching, hair loss, films ... "

Matthieu Villalonga, hairstylist at Davines, also reassures us: "although it is probably not necessary to wash your hair every day but you prefer comfort, lightness or simply if you like to start your day with the fragrance of your fetish shampoo, do not panic. "

... provided you use the right shampoo

However, no question of washing your hair - which is more every day - with the first shampoo come.

Simon Assoun, co-founder of Biocoiff ', advises to wash the hair daily with a shampoo containing mostly natural ingredients or a mild shampoo, which contains fewer surfactants, these foaming agents too stripping for everyday use.

Matthieu Villalonga, is also reassuring: "Today, the research and evolution of hair cosmetics allow us to benefit from softer shampoos with pH adapted for frequent use. "Simply choose a product stamped as such.

Understand the origin of these daily shampoos

On the other hand, the three experts agree that if you wash your hair every day, it is important to ask why.

If the stress comes from a scalp that greases quickly, it will not simply be satisfied with a mild shampoo for frequent use. Indeed, it will be better to use a specifically formulated shampoo formulated to rebalance the production of sebum, alternating with a very gentle shampoo.

For Matthieu Villalonga, if washing your hair every day again helps to avoid dandruff, scaling or calming irritations, it is likely that the product used does not respond to nature - a priori sensitive - and the needs of the scalp. "It's important to take the time to find the right product for her type of scalp," more than her hair actually. "This will help improve the feeling of comfort and may even alleviate any inconvenience in everyday life." And so to naturally space the shampoos, eventually.

The particular case of professional constraint

Some professions, such as fast food service, hospitals, sports coaching or other outdoor professions, have to be washed every day.

In these cases, " it is equally important to choose a shampoo adapted to its capillary nature, formulated for frequent use , so as not to risk creating a disturbance that did not exist," emphasizes Stéphane Weyl.

And, as advises Matthieu Villalonga, we do not skimp, in parallel, on the care to pamper the hair fiber: conditioners, masks, moisturizing serums ... The lengths also have needs!
