i take a shower in the morning before work with shampoo, i need to do this to feel refreshed and plus bedhead with the hat hair i will get is not a good combo. i wear a hat during work, then i come home and usually am disgustingly dirty and have bad hat hair which makes me hair very thin and weak, i then usuallyh take a shower after, but with no shampoo, just get my hair wet. is this ok, 2 showers a day, but only one with shampoo, think of the other as just jumping in a pool. also, what about wearing a hat? ive read that they dont cause hairloss but do you ever think it hurts just a little bit?

I get aleast two a day, can't see it being a problem, keeps your scalp clean.

I'm no doctor but if water caused hairloss, fish would be bald, and as we all know they are not.

are they?

i really dont see anything wrong with showering twice a day.. just make sure ya use something thats gentle .. maybe something natural? for the 2nd time you shower... ie like using nizoral everyday twice a day.. would be a terrible idea..since it strips your hair ..

Matgallis, Nizoral tends to dry hair out. It's just an unfortunate side effect of the chemicals in it.

As for showering twice a day, I do as well and could not imagine showering any less.. but that is just me. I also shampoo twice a day and have no problems. In fact, I smell rather good as a result and my bed linens are quite clean with the exception of the minoxidil stain on my designated 'greasehead pillow'.

hi there......

i shower twice a day too. It helps me feel better when seeing my hair oily and thin as hell every 12 hours. I shower before and after work.

i think it should be ok with a really mild shampoo


and maybe only shampooing once on nizoral days.

good luck

hey yeh thats ok, same as me. but if you shower too much you can strip your hair of its natural oils which protects it, so the hair (including follices) are more susceptible to damage.

try shampooing in the morning, but give yourself like one day in the week when you dont use shampoo, just water twice a day. think of it as a rest day.

and when you shower again after work, try not to soak your hair - how about wetting your hands a few times and running it through your hair. should get rid of the thin greasy look but not strip all the oils that your hair needs. just a thought.

all the salons etc tell us (and women) that shampooing every day isnt good for the hair as it can cause damage. we need to, because, having male pattern baldness, our scalps seem to be more open to inflammation and its very important we keep a healthy scalp. so try and go for a balance. id suggest trying what ive outlined :)

Exactly. It's that pillow I sleep on every night, but hide from the girlfriend when she comes over. The one with the white crystalline sh*t on it when you wake up in the morning...

I think no have problem to wash 2 x per day. the oil is rich in dht, believes that the more oil, more dht. entao is better to remove maxim of oil possible in the scalp.
i wash 1 x per day with cold water.
here brazil some peoples washes 2x per day and no have problems.
