Too much shampooing & conditioning ?

[misterium]

Hi,

I am wondering if there is an overkill when it comes to the frequency of shampooing & conditioning on a daily basis?

I shower in the A.M. using both shampoo & conditioner.. then afterwards I apply hair gel for my day.

When I get home, I have my 2nd shower of the day.. shampooing & conditioning once again to remove the gel from my hair before bed. (I'm not going to bed with that stuff in my hair).

So I'm wondering, "is this okay" or is it overkill ?

Cause I wonder if it's actually damaging to the hair or scalp?

Aren't 'natural' scalp oils kinda good to have there, instead of always washing off?

I know this is probably a stupid question, but it plagues my mind.. like sugar plagues my teeth.. or vagina plagues MY WEINER.

Peace.

If vagina plagues your weiner, you might wanna re-evaluate the girls you sleep with.

I don't really have a definite answer to your question, but the general concensus seems to be that shampooing and conditions ISN'T GONNA DAMAGE YOUR HAIR AND SCALP. I shampoo twice a day generally as well, and lately I've been using Nizoral at LEAST once a day. So you should be okay...

thanks deaner

i'm gonna try and go with a pomade instead of a gel, but it's hard cause they don't hold as well as gel and i slick my hair back 'greaser' style ..

anyway, yeah i guess it's stupid to worry about hair/scalp problems in regards to how often i shampoo & condition.

I'd say it's going to be different from person to person but unlikely that washing 2x/day is a problem...If you feel it may be a problem, just rinse your hair at night instead of using shampoo. If that's not good enough. Use a mild shampoo like baby shampoo.
