• Is it good to go without washing your hair?
While stretching the time between washes can cut down on oiliness, going without washing for too long can lead to negative side effects. We're talking: dandruff, ingrown hairs, odor from trapped oil, and overall itchiness. When you're planning to cut back on washes, keep in mind that washing your hair is still good for your hair. (It's overwashing you want to watch out for).

•How many days can you go without washing your hair?
There's no single right answer to how many days you can get by without washing your hair. This comes down to your lifestyle, hair texture, and hair type. For many, two to three days is the most. However, by day five you should definitely give your strands a good wash. You'll notice the signs of necessary cleansing when your hair becomes visibly oily, you notice dandruff or buildup, or your scalp begins to itch

É bom ficar sem lavar o cabelo?

Embora prolongar o tempo entre as lavagens possa reduzir a oleosidade, ficar sem lavar por muito tempo pode causar efeitos colaterais negativos. Estamos falando de: caspa, pêlos encravados, odor de óleo retido e coceira geral. Quando você planeja reduzir as lavagens, lembre-se de que lavar o cabelo ainda é bom para ele. (É uma lavagem excessiva que você deve observar).

Quantos dias você consegue ficar sem lavar o cabelo?

Não há uma resposta certa para quantos dias você consegue passar sem lavar o cabelo. Isso se resume ao seu estilo de vida, textura e tipo de cabelo. Para muitos, dois a três dias é o máximo. No entanto, no quinto dia você definitivamente deve lavar bem os fios. Você notará os sinais de limpeza necessária quando seu cabelo ficar visivelmente oleoso, você notar caspa ou acúmulo ou seu couro cabeludo começar a coçar..

Hair fragrances are perfumes that are formulated specifically for use on the hair. Unlike regular fragrances, they usually have less alcohol—or none at all—to protect your strands. Hair fragrances are great for an even longer-lasting scent trail, especially if you are wearing perfume on your skin or on your clothes.
There are several beneficial ingredients in hair fragrances that nourish your hair and lock in moisture while ensuring it smells great.

Existem vários ingredientes benéficos nas fragrâncias capilares que nutrem o cabelo e fixam a hidratação, ao mesmo tempo que garantem um cheiro agradável.

Low porosity [hair] is actually healthy hair that is not being moisturized correctly. The cuticle layer is intact, but you're not moisturizing it properly, so it becomes dry and tangled.
If you have a straw and put holes in it, you can take in the liquid easily, but you can't retain the liquid. Once you take it out of the liquid, it's all going to run out of the straw.
When you're thirsty, you don't drink conditioner or oil—you drink water.
Use an oil that can actually pe*****te your hair strands before you shampoo.

✨️Stress: Let's face it: Stress can wreak havoc on our bodies and health. Stress causes the release of histamine, which can cause your scalp (as well as other skin) to itch

✨️Sunburn: is surprisingly common, particularly for those with thin hair or alopecia. Sunburn on your scalp will cause irritation and sensitivity.

✨️Scalp conditions: If you have pre-existing scalp conditions such as dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, folliculitis, or atopic dermatitis (eczema), chances are you're already experiencing sensitivity. Dandruff or seborrheic dermatitis can cause itching and irritation; psoriasis can make your scalp feel 'tight' and uncomfortable; folliculitis, an inflammation of hair follicles, can result in a tender, painful and itchy scalp

✨️Allergic reactions: an allergic reaction to a new hair product can cause scalp sensitivity. Hair dyes or any other product that is applied directly to the scalp also have the potential to cause sensitivity.

✨️Hormonal changes: many people find that their scalp becomes sensitive during their menstrual cycle. This is because the hormones fluctuate. Any hormonal changes, including entering menopause, pregnancy, or postpartum, can cause scalp sensitivity due to the hormonal shifts at play.

•Cleanse: As surfactants, sulfates are ace at ridding hair of dirt and oil. Sebum captures dirt, pollen, and pollution, which we definitely don't want in our hair

•Lather: Sulfates are also efficient cleansers because they create a foamy lather, allowing you to use less but do more; meaning: degrease.

•Remove product: If you happen to use a lot of hair products or products that are a bit heavier, you know that they can be a pain to get out. Sulfates clean hair of stubborn products and in that sense, actually help to prevent build-up.

•Fight bacteria: Sodium lauryl sulfate exhibits antimicrobial properties which can help to promote a healthy scalp.

•Easily rinse: Sulfates like sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) are not only effective at removing sebum from the scalp and hair but they are easily rinsed out with water

• Limpeza: Como surfactantes, os sulfatos são ótimos em livrar o cabelo de sujeira e oleosidade. O sebo captura sujeira, pólen e poluição, que definitivamente não queremos em nossos cabelos

•Espuma: Os sulfatos também são produtos de limpeza eficientes porque criam uma espuma espumosa, permitindo usar menos, mas fazer mais; significado: desengordurar.

•Remover produto: Se acontecer de você usar muitos produtos para o cabelo ou produtos um pouco mais pesados, você sabe que pode ser difícil retirá-los. Os sulfatos limpam o cabelo de produtos teimosos e, nesse sentido, ajudam a prevenir a acumulação.

• Combate bactérias: O lauril sulfato de sódio apresenta propriedades antimicrobianas que podem ajudar a promover um couro cabeludo saudável.

•Enxágue facilmente: Sulfatos como lauril sulfato de sódio (SLS) não são apenas eficazes na remoção de sebo do couro cabeludo e do cabelo, mas também são facilmente enxaguados com água

There is no better feeling than a hot shower—but your scalp and hair might not enjoy it as much as you do. Using hot water when rinsing shampoo and conditioner can lead to a dry scalp. There are many benefits to taking colder showers, including helping to prevent scalp dryness. If you want to take a hot shower and don't want to contribute to scalp dryness, consider dropping the water to cooler temps once it comes time to wash and condition your hair.

•Should I scratch my dandruff out?
While brushing your dandruff out and making use of scalp scrubs are dermatologist-recommended methods for treating dandruff, it's important to avoid scratching your scalp too vigorously or too often, as it can lead to more irritation—and make your dandruff worse.1

•Can you get rid of dandruff permanently?
Though dandruff is a chronic condition (meaning it cannot be "cured" permanently) it can be easily treated through either at-home remedies or prescriptions.

•Does wet hair cause dandruff?
While it's important to wash your hair frequently when you have dandruff, make sure your strands are at least somewhat dry before you hit the hay. Sleeping on wet hair increases your risk of infections, including fungal infections like Malassezia folliculitis, which causes dandruff.

Devo coçar minha caspa?

Embora escovar a caspa e usar esfoliantes no couro cabeludo sejam métodos recomendados por dermatologistas para tratar a caspa, é importante evitar coçar o couro cabeludo com muita força ou frequência, pois isso pode causar mais irritação - e piorar a caspa.

Você pode se livrar da caspa permanentemente?

Embora a caspa seja uma condição crônica (o que significa que não pode ser “curada” permanentemente), ela pode ser facilmente tratada com remédios caseiros ou prescrições.

Cabelo molhado causa caspa?

Embora seja importante lavar o cabelo com frequência quando você tem caspa, certifique-se de que seus fios estejam pelo menos um pouco secos antes de cair no feno. Dormir com o cabelo molhado aumenta o risco de infecções, incluindo infecções fúngicas como a foliculite por Malassezia, que causa caspa.
