5 Reasons Why You Should Wash Your Hair Everyday With Paraben-Free Shampoo And Conditioner

When it comes to hair and scalp care, we often find ourselves asking the age-old question: How often should I wash my hair? Many of us go through the rigorous routine of washing our hair every single day but never really stopped to find out why. 

So is daily shampooing harmful or beneficial for your hair? There isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer but hair experts can agree that it can actually be good to wash your hair everyday – depending on your hair type, of course.

Think of your scalp as an extension of your skin – would you leave makeup on your face everyday without washing it off? Of course not! Just as it's vital to cleanse your skin, it is also important to take care of your scalp by getting rid of oil buildup, hair products and dead skin regularly – and in some cases, everyday. 

If you’re still wondering what to do, here are 5 reasons why you should wash your hair everyday – and why you should do it with a paraben-free shampoo and conditioner.

1. You have an oily scalp

The sebaceous glands in your scalp produce a natural oil called sebum. It acts as a barrier to protect your scalp and hair, while also keeping them healthy and moisturised. Too much oil, however, can cause seborrhea dermatitis, a condition that results in dandruff, itchy scalp and scaly patches.

In these cases, shampooing everyday helps to strip away excess oil – leaving your hair clean, and looking healthy and refreshed.

2. You have fine hair

Those with fine hair may feel the need to wash once a day or every other day. This is because oils from the scalp can easily travel down fine hair, thus showing greasiness much sooner than other hair types. 

3. You exercise everyday

If you love running, spinning, boxing or other high intensity activities, this is a good reason to wash your hair more regularly. Working up a sweat can cause your hair to have a foul odour, as well as make it look and feel dirty.

4. You live in a tropical climate

This is a problem we all face in Singapore. The soaring temperatures and high humidity can be bad news for our hair – especially if you tend to sweat a lot. Just like those who work out often, you may want to consider shampooing everyday to wash away sweat, oil buildup and any odour from all that perspiration.

5. You love dry shampoo and other styling products

Hands up if you’re guilty of using dry shampoo whenever you’re too lazy to wash your hair. Yes, we’ve all been there! Besides dry shampoo, frequent use of hair styling products such as mousse, pomade, hairspray and gel can cause product buildup and clogged pores. The result? Lank, greasy hair, and even acne on your scalp and along your hairline.

The new Japanese plant-based shampoo and conditioner that’s gentle on your hair and scalp

Now that we’ve established why you should wash your hair everyday, you may find yourself asking: which products should I use?

In a nutshell, you should opt for hair products that are gentle yet effective. Case in point: the new Na Shampoo ($26). 

What makes this shampoo suitable for everyday use is its special formulation. Na shampoo contains plant-based ingredients from Japan that are free from parabens, sulphates and silicones. In addition, it is also infused with natural oils and extracts such as argan oil and American ginseng – allowing the shampoo to gently yet effectively cleanse and revitalise your hair while also strengthening and hydrating it.
