An expert has revealed a common shower mistake that can make hair fall out, and how we can fix it instantly. Many of us wash our hair as part of our daily grooming routine, but doing it too often can cause damage and lead to breakage or even hair loss.
Sam Cinkir, CEO of leading skin and hair specialists Este Medical Group, said the sweet spot for most people is washing your hair once or twice a week maximum. He said: “The importance of personal grooming and being ‘clean’ is instilled in us from an early age, but there is such a thing as overkill.
“Washing your hair too often can lead to a whole range of problems, from tangles, split ends and breakages to a dry and itchy scalp, especially if done with harsh shampoos. Our hair produces a natural oil called sebum, which helps protect from moisture loss, but shampooing too often strips this away and leaves our locks vulnerable to damage.
