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 DercosKera 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 Conditioning Mask.

THE SECRETS TO MAINTAINING A HEALTHY SCALP

The importance of the microbiome to the health of your scalp If you’re looking for the secret to great hair, you need to start with the scalp. Like the skin on our face, the scalp is made up of oil and sweat glands and an invisible ecosystem of microorganisms: the microbiome. If this becomes unbalanced, it can become irritated and more prone to oiliness, sensitivity and dandruff. This is why it’s important to ensure you’re paying just as much attention to your scalp as you are your hair – especially when it comes to addressing a range of everyday concerns such as greasiness and dandruff. So what’s the best way of caring for your scalp and how can you tell if you have a problem?

Oily hair

If you find that your hair becomes greasy quickly, you may have an unbalanced microbiome that is creating excess levels of sebum. You can help to combat this excess sebum with a shampoo such as Vichy’s Dercos Oil Control Shampoo. It has an exclusive anti-sebum complex and purifying gel texture that helps to rebalance your scalp while leaving it feeling fresh with a marine and mint fragrance. Once your scalp is cleansed and clean, you should start to notice a big difference in how healthy your hair looks and bounciness and shine will be restored.

Dandruff causes and treatment

Dandruff is caused by an increase in bad bacteria and can be a tell-tell sign that your scalp microbiome has become unbalanced. The most effective way of addressing this scalp concern is with a targeted shampoo such as Dercos’ Anti-Dandruff Shampoo. It   is enriched with Selenium DS and Cohesyl and helps to purify and soothe the scalp reducing flakes after just one wash. Detoxing the hair from product, sweat and sebum can also help to reduce dandruff. The Dercos Micropeel Shampoo contains salicylic acid, LHA and apricot kernel micro beads to exfoliate away impurities such as this, leaving the scalp feeling fresh, clear and soothed.

Dry and damaged hair

If your hair is feeling dry and damaged, you may not immediately think of the scalp as the cause. But, like the skin on our face, the scalp can be affected by aggressors in the environment which over time can weaken its barrier function and affect the overall health and vitality of the hair. Vichy's Dercos Kera Solutions Shampoo uses keratin bonding technology to replenish damaged hair during styling and colouring. Formulated with allantoin known for its soothing properties, this shampoo respects sensitive scalp and leaves hair looking nourished and silky.

Hair loss and thinning

There are many reasons for hair thinning and loss such as the menopause, pregnancy, stress and hormone imbalances. But no matter the cause of the problem, you can help to improve it by addressing any visible signs of imbalances within your scalp’s microbiome. Dercos’ Aminexil Pro for Women is a targeted treatment that works to create a healthy scalp environment and help maintain the density of thinning hair and leaves hair feeling more resistant.
