Hair

I am an african american male, how often should one wash his hair?

Hello,

The frequency of washing the hair depends on the hair type.If you have oily hair,then you should wash it with a mild shampoo every alternate day followed by proper conditioning.For oily hair choose shampoo that contains less of detergent.For dry hair,you can wash your hair two times a week.Also try alternating brands of shampoos after a few months.

Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries.Warm regards.
