hi jlovetin! ^^ i heard from some people too that we should not use shampoo everyday. but i think it depends on the person's scalp and hair. i mean for me, i have to shampoo everyday because i tend to get itchy scalp if i don't shampoo even for just a day. i have to clean my scalp everyday and i need shampoo to do it. but with using a conditioner, i do it every other day. but i'm not saying that my hair and scalp are okay. i have a hair fall problem and i don't know what to do with it. i don't think its from using shampoo everyday because before, i have tried using shampoo every other day. i use a shampoo and conditioner alternately. but during those times, i still have a hair problem. and its just frustrating.

Its ok to use shampoo everyday. The important thing you should consider is not to use a lot of it cause you might end up with dry hair or dandruff. Daily use of shampoo does not contribute to hair loss but smoking and stress can cause hair loss.

Your hair loss is not due to your shampooing every day, but if using it less solves your problem, then go do that. If you still lose your hair, you should see a dermatologist or your general doctor, because it could be alopecia, or it could be a thyroid condition. My mom had hair loss and never went to a doctor about it, but she went for an annual checkup and her doctor found she had a slow thyroid. She went on medication and she was happy to lose weight, but she was even happier when all her hair grew back!!

In the early days people use aloevera for their hair. I think it's good because it's a herbal product. The good thing about it, is that it contains no chemicals that may harm our scalp. I think frequent shampoo and conditioner can damaged ones hair. That also includes gel.

hereditary traits can appear in the third generation and we are not even sure we know all the relatives we really have . heredity plays a lot in what happens to us. i shampoo twice a day but my hair is all intact. i know may people do this too and one beauty book even said that if you feel your hair is dirty, shampoo. dirty is never healthy and with the pollution in the air, even if we don't use styling products that is dirt already and i'm not sure that can be washed off by water since most shampoos have oil in them which attracts dirt. but doctors know things not meant to be comprehended by common people. so i say, the doctor would still be "your" authority.

Its okay to use shampoo everyday but you need to put natural shampoo made of herbs without any chemical.If you are using a shampoo with chemicals then you need to put it twice a week.Gel makes the hair stiff so that it stays in one place.Nowadays i have seen advertisements that conditioners will make the hairfall less.But we cannot believe it in ads.

i asked this question cause i have read and watch that it is not a good thing to use shampoo everyday..some of the doctors advice it should be every other day..its my concern cause im starting to lose my hair at my young age..and i dont think that it is hereditary cause we dont have it in our family...cause before i used shampoo everyday but now i just use it twice a week..and also stop using some of those hair products like gel or hair conditioning..

I would certainly questiont eh use of shampoo to much - but only because of all the chemicals in it which are a by product of the petrochemical industry. I use washing up liquid for my dishes which is made from plant based products and sometimes use this on my hair instead of shampoo

Actually I use shampoo everyday even though some hairstylists advised to use it only twice or thrice a week because it can irritate scalp and damage hair. I use shampoo everyday because of the dust and other pollution in the environment that may coat the strand of my hair and could damage my scalp. That's why I use shampoo everyday. But now I am rethinking it now, I try not to use shampoo daily and use conditioner instead.
