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

“Wash your hair when it needs it—not by the calendar.”
— Dr. Hadley King, NYC Dermatologist
Your ideal routine might change with seasons, hormones, or activity level. In general:
  • Most people do well washing 2–3 times per week
  • Curly/coily hair often thrives with weekly washing
  • If in doubt, start less—you can always wash more
When your scalp feels balanced—not tight, greasy, or itchy—you’ve found your sweet spot. 💇‍♀️✨
