Healthy Hair Tips
How often should you wash your hair?
Global Education Director
On average, people wash their hair twice a week. Yet our Keune hair experts indicate that the best washing routine is different for everyone. This is because it depends on what type of hair and hair color you have.
Recommended washing routines for your hair
On average, you wash your hair twice a week. In doing so, you use shampoo and a conditioner. A shampoo is primarily meant to clean your hair and the conditioner nourishes your hair. In addition, you can use a hair mask for an extra boost. Read here how to use a hair mask.
We highlight a few washing routines for your hair.
How often should you wash curly hair?With curly hair, we advise you to wash your hair once a week with a special shampoo for curly hair. Eg. our Keune Confident Curl products. These products activate your curls and provide beautiful frizz-free hair. Tip: leave your conditioner or hair mask in your hair overnight and rinse it out in the morning. Use the hair plopping method where you tie a cotton shirt around your hair. This gives your curls even more definition.
For blond or gray hair you wash your hair on average once a week with a regular conditioning shampoo and once with a silver shampoo. For example, with the Keune Silver Savior products. The advantage of these products is that they are nourishing and keep a nice cool color without the hair color getting too cool. If you want an extra cool color result, then you can use these products every wash.
How often should you wash your hair as a man?For men, the same frequency applies as for women. On average, wash your hair twice a week. It is also advisable for men to use a shampoo and conditioner with each wash. For men, it is only better to use a conditioner that also takes care of the scalp and not just the hair. Keune has special hair products for men.
Do you feel that your hair quickly becomes very oily and thus you have to wash it more often? Then we recommend training your scalp to reduce the number of washes. Why train your scalp? Because oily hair is often due to the sebum production of your scalp, which you turn upside down with washing your hair too often. You can reduce the amount of washing your hair in several ways:
1. Use dry shampooUse our dry shampoo a little more often and spray it on the roots of your hair. The formula of the dry shampoo contains zeolite which absorbs greasiness and adds texture to the hair without leaving any white residue. So you can postpone a wash.
2. Put your hair in a bunYou can also put your hair up the last day before you wash your hair. Then it's less visible that your hair is greasy. Tip: take a look at these easy updos for summer.
3. Wash with lukewarm waterWash your hair with lukewarm water. This reduces the stimulation of sebum production and also makes your hair less likely to become oily.
