Does Washing Your Hair Less Often Reduce Hair Loss?

[AOK]

Hello everyone, I'm new in here.

I used to wash my hair daily, but now I’m doing it every other day. Some people say less washing = less hair loss. Is this actually true, or does it make no difference?

Not washing your hair won’t stop hair loss, but overwashing can cause dryness and irritation. Just find a balance that works for your scalp.

So skipping washes won’t help regrow any hair?

Nope, but it might make your hair feel thicker, since natural oils coat the strands better.

If you have dandruff or buildup, skipping too many washes can actually make shedding worse.
