You may have heard of these sayings:
\"Washing your hair every day will make it oilier.\"
\"The scalp needs nourishment. You can't wash it too often.\"
\"Asian scalps are more fragile and should be washed less frequently.\"<\/p>\n
But the reality is-- In this article, we do not stand on traditional myths, nor copy the logic of European and American toiletries, but from theAsian scalp structure, oil production mechanism, and overseas living environment<\/strong>I'm going to rejoin you in answering a key question:<\/p>\n \ud83d\udc49 Asians, is it appropriate to wash your hair every day?<\/strong><\/p>\n The concept of \"washing your hair every day is not good\" does not come from Asia.<\/p>\n It comes from two main backgrounds:<\/p>\n European and American Dry Scalp Community<\/strong><\/p>\n Sebum production is low.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Dry and flaky scalp<\/p>\n<\/li>\n If you wash too often, you're likely to get drier.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n Early shampoos are too strong<\/strong><\/p>\n High sulfate, strong degreasing power<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Damage to the scalp barrier<\/p>\n<\/li>\n The more you wash, the more irritation you get.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n The problem is-- From a practical and structural point of view, the Asian scalp is usually characterized by several features:<\/p>\n High sebaceous gland density<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Fast oil release<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Pores are more prone to sebum + keratin buildup.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Particularly sensitive to \"stuffiness, oil, and residue<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n What does that mean?<\/p>\n \ud83d\udc49 It's not that Asian scalp is not suitable for washing, it's that it's not suitable for \"not washing well\" or \"washing in the wrong way\".<\/strong><\/p>\n When grease, sweat, and styling products remain on the scalp:<\/p>\n Deterioration of the microbiological environment<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Scalp started to itch and smell.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n The oil is getting out of control.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n That's why so many people have this experience:<\/p>\n \"I've been washing less, but why do I have more scalp problems?\"<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The point is not \"to wash or not to wash\", it is What type of scalp are you?<\/strong>\u3002<\/p>\n Suggested frequency: daily or every other day<\/strong><\/p>\n Washing every day won't make you oilier.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Provided that the shampoo is mild and does not leave a residue.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n The real problem is that you can't get it clean.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Suggested frequency: see oil speed adjustment<\/strong><\/p>\n Summer, after exercise \u2192 can be washed every day<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Winter, sedentary \u2192 Wash every other day.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Suggested Frequency: No need to wash every day<\/strong><\/p>\n Can be done once every 2-3 days<\/p>\n<\/li>\n But be careful: no washing \u2260 leave it alone.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Scalp moisturization and keratin metabolism are equally important.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n \ud83d\udc49 Frequency is a result, not a rule.<\/strong><\/p>\n One phenomenon is particularly common overseas:<\/p>\n Hard water<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Dry or stuffy air<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Increased frequency of use of modeling products<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n At this point, if you deliberately \"wash less\":<\/p>\n Sebum + Mineral Residues<\/p>\n<\/li>\n clogged pores<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Scalp is starting to get unstable.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Many people think so:<\/p>\n \"Too much washing.\"<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n But in practice it often is:<\/p>\n \"Not clean enough, not disciplined enough.\"<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Instead of asking \"can I wash every day\", remember these three principles:<\/p>\n The comfort of your scalp is more important than frequency.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Cleaning is more important than washing very little.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n If you're oily, you should wash more often.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n It's not a sin to wash your hair every day. If you are an Asian living abroad, you can adjust it this way:<\/p>\n Exercise, sweat a lot \u2192 do not support<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Stuffy, itchy, smells \u2192 Wash if you need to.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n At the beginning of the change of environment \u2192 the frequency of shampooing is usually increased.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n When choosing a shampoo, look at the \"scalp feel\" rather than the label.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n \n It's not that Asians can't wash their hair every day.<\/strong>If your hair is fresh, stable, not itchy, not smelly after you wash it. \u4f60\u53ef\u80fd\u807d\u904e\u9019\u4e9b\u8aaa\u6cd5\uff1a\u300c\u5929\u5929\u6d17\u982d\u6703\u8d8a\u6d17\u8d8a\u6cb9\u300d\u300c\u982d\u76ae\u9700\u8981\u990a\uff0c\u4e0d\u80fd\u6d17\u592a\u52e4\u300d\u300c\u4e9e\u6d32\u4eba\u982d\u76ae\u6bd4\u8f03\u8106\u5f31\uff0c\u8981\u5c11\u6d17\u300d \u4f46\u73fe\u5be6\u662f\u2014…<\/p>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":118,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-144","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-asians-living-abroad-hair-structure-and-hair-care-myths","content-box content-box-wrapper"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
