Here’s how often you should wash your hair, according to a dermatologist.

• Itchy, flaky scalp (not dandruff—just dryness)
• Brittle, frizzy, or straw-like hair
• Increased breakage or split ends

⚠️ Signs You’re Not Washing Enough

• Greasy roots within 1–2 days
• Flaking that looks like dandruff but is actually buildup
• Scalp odor or acne along the hairline

💡 Dermatologist Tips for Healthy Hair & Scalp

1. Shampoo = scalp cleanser: Apply only to roots; let suds rinse through ends.
2. Conditioner = strand treatment: Apply from mid-length to ends—never the scalp (unless using a scalp-specific conditioner).
3. Clarify monthly: Use a clarifying shampoo once a month if you use dry shampoo, styling products, or hard water.
4. Dry shampoo isn’t a substitute: It masks oil but doesn’t clean—limit to 2 consecutive days max.
5. Listen to your scalp: Itching, redness, or flaking may signal seborrheic dermatitis or psoriasis—see a dermatologist.
