Is it good to shampoo curly hair every day?

Daily shampooing of curly hair is not suggested because regular cleaning may result in removal of excessive amounts of oil from the hair, making it look dry, frizzy, and rough. The presence of some amount of natural oils in curly hair is desirable.

A weekly or bi-weekly application of shampoo may be sufficient for many individuals in keeping their scalps clean while also ensuring that they have healthy-looking curls. But the frequency required will depend on one’s individual scalp type, lifestyle, and amount of styling products used. For instance, one who exercises regularly may have to wash his hair more often.

Use a soothing, hydrating and ideally, a sulfate-free shampoo to prevent over drying. To refresh your curls on wash days, you may use water, a leave-in conditioner or a curl refreshing spray.

The goal is to find a balance: keep your scalp clean without over-cleansing your curls. Pay attention to how your hair feels and adjust your washing routine accordingly.
