Hot take: everyone says to skip washing your hair daily, but my scalp disagreed after 3 weeks in Phoenix
I keep seeing people say you should only wash your hair twice a week to keep it healthy, and I tried that for about 3 weeks when I moved to Phoenix last summer. By day 10 my scalp was itchy and flaky, and my part looked greasy by noon even though I was using dry shampoo. I went to a dermatologist on Camelback Road and she told me some scalps just produce more oil and need a gentle wash more often, and that leaving oil sitting there can cause irritation. I switched back to washing most days with a mild shampoo, and my flakes cleared up in about 5 days. The whole 'train your hair' thing might work for some people, but it made my scalp worse and I wasted $22 on dry shampoo I barely touched. Has anyone else had their scalp get mad when they tried to stretch washes?
