There is an opinion that you should shampoo your hair twice in one shower. Allegedly, this way you can achieve a better effect from the procedure. It is worth knowing whether this is true and whether it will not harm your hair, states Real simple.
Is double shampooing useful
Double shampooing is the practice of shampooing twice in a row during one shower. The idea is that the first wash removes sweat, oil, dirt, and product residue, while the second focuses more on cleansing the hair and providing a nourishing treatment.
Dermatologist Anna Chakon said that double washing can be very beneficial for scalp health.
The process of shampooing is the same every time. Wet your hair, apply the shampoo, and then use your fingertips to massage your scalp before rinsing.
Who benefits from washing hair twice
Double hair washing is especially beneficial for those with thick strands, wavy texture, and oily scalp. It's also ideal for those who use a lot of styling products and need an extra wash to properly rinse everything out.
"I also suggest a double wash procedure for clients who wash rarely or have naturally oily hair. And if you're a swimmer, you also need to wash twice to remove chlorine from your hair," explained hairdresser Julia North.
Who should avoid it
If you see that your hair is well-groomed with just one shampoo, or you wash it every day, then you don't need to apply the product several times.
Over-washing can affect your natural oil levels, which can cause dryness and irritation in some cases.
Curly hair can break easily due to dryness, so people with such strands should avoid double washing. People with colored hair, especially brightly colored hair, may experience rapid color loss after double washing.
So if your hair and scalp are clean after one shampoo, then this is perfect for you. If you still feel grease or dirt, then a second shampoo won't hurt.
