Expert busts shampoo myth that can make hair look 'lank' and scalp 'smelly'

A top trichologist has set about 'busting' a major hair myth that many people believe. Susie Hammond, trichologist at the Philip Kingsley Clinic in London, believes we should be washing our hair every single day or every other day at the very least.

There is quite a grim reason behind this. Speaking to The Mirror, the hair and scalp expert broke down just how much dirt and grime is actually on our scalps.

Susie said: "There are lots of common mistakes we can make with our hair and scalp care that can have a huge impact on how our hair health performs and one of the most common myths is that we don't need to shampoo frequently and I'd like to bust that right now. Washing your hair every day or every other day is what we advocate at Philip Kingsley.
