HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU WASH YOUR HAIR?

Your hair needs are as unique as you and it requires special care and attention to keep it looking and feeling its best. Washing your hair is necessary to remove impurities and excess sebum and keep the scalp’s microbiome balanced. But, with different advice available it’s difficult to know how often you should wash your hair and what type of hair products you should be using. The answer to your hair care questions is here, but first, let’s see why it’s important to not over wash your hair.

Why is it bad to wash your hair too often?

Just as with your skin, excess sebum along with impurities can build up on the scalp. And, while it’s important to remove these, washing your hair in excess can upset your scalp’s microbiome balance.

If you haven’t heard of it before, a microbiome is a community of microorganisms that exist on areas of the body including your scalp and that work together to keep your scalp healthy. A change in the microbiome balance can result in bacteria taking over and your scalp becoming inflamed. 

So, to keep maintain a healthy scalp and hair, let’s find out how often you should wash your hair:

Hair care for dry or damaged hair

The advice is that people with dry hair should wash their hair a maximum of two times a week. Any more than this and the hair could become damaged. To keep your dry hair in tip-top condition we recommend using Vichy Dercos Kera Solutions Resurfacing Shampoo.Enriched with 2% Pro Keratin Complex, Vichy Dercos Kera Solutions Resurfacing Shampoo works to nourish dry or damaged hair.

Hair care for oily and greasy hair

An overproduction of sebum by the sebaceous glands in the scalp is the cause of oily hair. People with oily or greasy hair need to wash their hair more often than those with dry hair - maybe every other day for some. To fully cleanse your oily hair, use Vichy Dercos Oil Control Shampoo. Formulated with Vichy Mineralizing Water and enriched with a UV filter , Vichy Dercos Oil Control Shampoo thoroughly cleanses your hair and gets to grip with excess oil levels.

Hair care for mature hair

One of the effects of ageing is that your hair can become thin, and some people can experience hair loss. To reduce the appearance of hair loss and hair thinning, use Vichy Dercos Energising Shampoo that’s enriched with key actives Vichy’s patented molecule Aminexil, in combination with Vitamins B3, B6 and Provitamin B5.

Gently massage Dercos Energising Shampoo into wet hair and rinse thoroughly - use as often as required.

Hair care for curly hair

Curly hair doesn’t tend to be oily and that’s due to the shape of the curl. Oil that’s released by the sebaceous glands in the scalp, travels down your hair strands during the day. With curly hair the oil travels more slowly than it does with other hair types. But this means it can build up on the scalp, so it’s advisable to wash your curly every 2-3 days, or more if you can get away with it. To keep your curly hair looking and feeling luscious use Vichy Dercos Oil Control Shampoo.

Don’t forget to complete your hair care regime with Vichy Dercos Kera Solutions Restoring 2 Minute Mask.

WHAT CAUSES HAIR LOSS IN MEN AND WOMEN?

While you may think of hair loss as mainly affecting men, whether it’s from stress, hormones or even giving birth, hair loss can affect us all and be triggered by several different factors. Here are the causes, types and potential ways to improve the thickness of thinning and fragile hair.

Alopecia
Although it’s more commonly associated with men, anyone can suffer from hair loss – whether it’s on your head or your entire body, only temporary or permanent. While hereditary hair loss as a normal part of ageing is the most common cause of baldness and hair loss in men, hormonal changes, stress, weight loss or other medical conditions can also cause hair to shed or thin for both men and women.

Postpartum shedding
Many women find that thick, lustrous locks are one of the perks of pregnancy, thanks to higher levels of hair-friendly oestrogen in your body to help the baby grow and develop. It’s quite common for the average person to lose around 100 hairs a day without really noticing. Your pregnancy hormones keep those hairs from falling out though. After you give birth or stop breastfeeding, however, your high oestrogen levels return to normal and so does your hair, shedding this extra hair usually in the first six months postpartum.

Styling damage
However you style your hair, whether it’s blow drying, straightening or curling, if you’ve used a lot of heat, you could have caused some damage or breakage. Chemicals used to colour your hair can also strip it of its protective coating making it more fragile and thinner, while super-tight hairstyles can cause traction alopecia after prolonged stress to the hair follicle. Men can also experience this if they twist their beards too tightly.

To undo any unwanted damage and prevent any further hair loss, change your hairstyle regularly, taking a break between weaves and extensions, keep heat settings low when using styling tools and regularly use conditioning treatments to strengthen and hydrate your hair.

Menopausal hair loss in women
While pregnancy locks benefit from an oestrogen boost, during the menopause levels of oestrogen and progesterone decrease (both of which are responsible for hair growth) and can lead to hair loss and thinning. You may find your hair also breaks more easily as it is finer.

How to treat hair loss and thinning
Our Vichy Dercos Energising Shampoo is designed to bring vitality to your hair and help fight against breakage to help reduce the rate of hair loss and thinning. Its nourishing formula is enriched with Vichy’s patented molecule aminexil and vitamins B3, B5 and B6 and is suitable for sensitive scalps.

For best results, follow with our Dercos Energising Conditioner. Its fortifying complex of vitamins B5 and B6 help to improve the appearance of brittle hair, while ceramides seal the hair cuticles and help protect them from external stresses.

Vichy Dercos Energising Fortifying Conditioner is enriched with Aminexil, a hair loss reference molecule to nourish the hair and to reinforce the structure of the hair fiber. It repairs the appearance of hair surface damage instantly and  feels the detangled hair stronger and less brittle.
