Okay, let's be honest. We've all bought hair products that don't suit our hair type and we've all made the mistake of either washing our hair too often or not regularly enough. Now, the problem with this is that it can really mess up your hair and make things rather bad for it whether it's leading to an infection or dandruff issues or even scalp inflammation. That's why you need to ensure that you use the right hair products and most importantly, you wash your hair in intervals depending on your hair type. So, here's how often in a week you should wash your hair.

The problem with thin and flat hair is that if you have any scalp issues like greasy hair or dandruff, it'll show very evidently. And although you may want to wash it every day, we suggest you don't opt for that. The best time interval for you to follow is to wash your hair twice or thrice a week with a gap of one to two days.

If you have dry hair and you use styling tools, there are chances of your hair being damaged too. So, you basically need a shampoo that has nourishing properties and ideally you should also apply oil to your hair regularly. Make sure to wash your hair no more than twice a week or it might strip your hair of its natural oils.

Although you may enjoy all the attention you get for your luscious tresses, it can also become a pain to maintain such thick hair. Moreover, there's a chance that your scalp may end up with product and pollution build-up which could lead to an infection. So, opt for a good cleansing shampoo and wash your hair at least twice a week.

This is pretty much the worst type of scalp condition to have. Oily scalp equals greasy roots, dandruff flakes and your hair looking greasy all the time. So even though you may feel tempted to wash your hair every single day, make sure not to do it or things will just get worse for you. Use a clarifying shampoo that also contains moisturising properties and wash your hair at least thrice a week.
